When someone "welds a diff", they are welding the spider gears together and to the carrier so the wheels no longer turn independently. If you wanted to put a locker in place of this it would have to be a full locker that replaces the carrier as well, not a lunchbox locker.

 

Got some wires hanging I think they run to the cruise control there blue red green two blacks a white comes off the column and when cracking jeep cranks real slow

 

Ah, I see. So if I buy one with a welded diff & later want an OX, I'll be okay. Cool ... good to know.
Thx

(I knew I liked this "ask the question" concept from the first time I saw it.)

 

Put a Clearwater head on my xj cause the old was cracked, but it has a ticking noise coming from the head area near the exhaust. It increases as the rpm's rise. I'm thinking it's just the new head being noisy and maybe a small exhaust leak. Any ideas's ?

 

reverse rotation, reverse cut, standard cut idk somebody please tell me what type of gears i need or explain what the diffrence is for my 96 jeep xj im trying to put 4.56 in it
thanks

 

I had to replace my draglink and inner tie rod, the new drag link does not have a spot for my steering stabilizer... how do i go about re-attaching this?

 

just fixed this exact issue on my honda, it's a transmission shift solenoid took a dump on ya

 

I have been noticing lately that everytime I am waiting in line at the bank drive through (or anywhere I have to stay at a stand still for a long period of time) that I start smelling "burning metal." Similar to the smell of a Dremel on metal. '95 Cherokee with a recent oil change by the way. Thoughts?

 

when i put my jeep in 4hi theres a grinding sound like the shaft spinning then loud clunk before it kicks in what should i do??

 

Two questions whats your speed when you shift and do you stop after you shift or continue to drive oh and you cSn also open your fill cap to see if you got enough fluid in it

 

to go in 4hi i just stop an put it in neutral, then shift into 1st an start moving

 

Sounds like your tcase isn't engaging all the way when you first put it in 4HI - your linkage needs adjustment.

To adjust the linkage...
1) Shift tcase into 4L (If you can't get it into 4L you may have to do it by hand)
2)Lift jeep or crawl under (you should be able to get your hand up to the linkage without dropping the skid)
3)Loosen the lock bolt on the linkage arm.
4)The linkage/shifter should move freely now.
5)Verify that the tcase range lever (the lever that is attached to the tcase) is fully engaged in the 4L position.
6)Tighten the adj. lock bolt

You are done. It sometime is helpfully if you have someone help you if you aren't sure which way to adjust the linkage. It helps to see how the linkage moves before you start adjusting anything.

 

I wanna "upgrade" my 2000 XJ 4.0 sport to stick- manual transmition.

Which year 5-speed stick will fit my XJ?

It will be my summer project, I wanna start getting ready...

Thanks

 

Well I sometimes come up with some decent Ideas, sometimes...

 

Shuuuut you always have good ideas Stefano

Fluid Fluid Fluid is my automatic reaction.

No idea but i would open the hood and try and decern a noise or where this smell is coming from to better help someone help you!
