I realize the ratio may be different.I'm trying to avoid swapping tail housings
No, input shaft is different.

You could check your oil level. Check to see if the oil sending unit is leaking externally. It is right next to the oil filter. Unplug it and look at the plug...is it full of oil?

My passenger window and lock controls keep falling down in my door on my 95 xj sport. How can this be fixed?

Unhappy 1999 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 L manifold bolts

How on earth do I get at the lower bolts on the exhaust/intake manifolds? I got them off but I'm having a heck of a time trying to get them back on, especially the back two. Then once I get them on, I have to have enough room to apply a torque wrench. There's got to be a trick to it...

It is a PITA but I can get to most of mine from under the hood. Remove the power steering pump and air box and use just the right combination of wobble extensions. The last one, I do from underneath.

Have fun.

So I've heard power steering pumps make noise before they die. Is this a wooshing noise at full turn, or is that normal?

Default Lift

Well I really can't figure out how to post something so I'm doing it this way.
I have a 96 cherokee country. I am installing a budget lift for now but wanting to know if I should get axle shims so I don't get a vibration and if I should install an adjustable track bar so I don't get the death wobble. I drive this truck daily so I want it to still be able to go down the road without all the hassles I have read about. What do I do?

Default Connector Pins

Hi all - I am working some wiring issues to the door and wondered if anyone knew the manufacturer or part number for the pins and connectors used for the speakers and the power windows? I am interested in rerunning the wires in to the connector housings and not having a splice to get into the connector. Thanks for any hints.

It won't work unless you want to take the transfer case apart and swap input shafts.

Rear quarter panel? do you plan on cutting it out and welding in a new one? because its part of the unibody and can't really be replaced(okay it can, but its stupidly impractical from where I sit) My recommendation for repair would be to get the dents out the best you can and then buy some rear quarter panel armor...there's a reason that at least 3 or 4 different companies make the stuff.

For the window...really any year of the same body style should work.
