Looks like a breather hose for the transmission or transfer case.

 

Hmm you might be right. Looks like the end that goes into the fire wall though. Front diff breather hose doesn't go back tht far

 

Quick question. What size is the centering pin for the leaf springs. Searching is showing two different ones. Thanks

 

What two sizes

 

Just going to put this here

 

I don't think you know how this works..

 

5/16" and 3/8"

 

Almost positive theyre 5/16"

 

Yep stock is 5/16

 

Thanks. Gotta pic up a temp one for the springs until one comes from online it seems. Good thing in not wheeling hard right now

 

Cause youre the #1 mall crawler...

 

Lowes has grade 8 round head Allen bolts you can use

 

so i bought a 98 sport few weeks ago. ive had a 99 and a 01 b4...one was stolen 2 yrs ago and a few weeks ago a drunk driver destroyed my second one. ok beyond the ****ty luck here we go
day after i got my 98 i drove it 100 miles at night and was fine. next day tried to go to joshua tree and as i went thru hot desert it started to overheat. ever since then if i climb a hill or drive thru real hot weather it wants to overheat. mainly when climbing inclines.
i bought a new thermostat from chrysler. should i just get a new radiator while im at it and change it out when i put new thermostat on?
im about to lift this sucka with a 4.5 inch lift and throw 31's on there. or even 33 all terrains.
your opinions are appreciated.

Just try basic maintenance for the cooling system first, AKA flush it and put new coolant in. If it keeps giving you trouble a new radi would be best, these XJ's are notorious for having issues like this.

 

Automatic, I assume? I'd second the new radiator idea. Engine coolant and trans fluid are both run through the rad, intertwined to balance each others' temperature. If either circuit has a blockage in the rad, it will affect both.
