Would I be able to pick one up from any parts store? also once removed would a new one be relatively easy to install? the jeep is a '94 and belonged to my dad I am still trying to get a hang of fixing things with out him around to help me.

 

And just before everyone tells me to look up the law through the DOT I have done that as well and can't find anything pertaining to it?

 

there shouldn't be a law like that. Usually the only things in the law that pertain to that are 1) mirrors and 2) the door sill height (which may be an issue). Best to contact motor vehicles or whatever agency is in charge of the laws and ask. Sounds like bs though

 

yes and yes. I got mine from autozone i believe. They had to special order it but it was there the next day and was cheapest around.

 

Thanks Bunches...any idea what the metal on metal squealy noise under the hood might be? like a pully for the belt or something else? cause it only does it when i speed up.

 

does it do it when you rev the engine in park also? If so yes it's probably a pulley's bearings going bad. Try to track it down soon before it leaves you stranded.

 

uh no it doesnt do it when i am in park even if i rev the engine.

 

then it's not engine speed related and therefore not a pulley. I'm not sure what it could be then... how do your motor mounts look?

 

the mounts are good i may just have to have a mechanic here look at it . thanks for your help

 

The u-joint I bought is the spicer 5-760x. I found a website that says the cap is 1.1888" in diameter. so I dont know what one it takes. Also the retainers I bought are the 2-94-58X. I am now thoroughly lost lol. But thanks for the help

 

I hope I'm posting this message correctly and in the right place.....

I just purchased a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport and noticed a cord was freely hanging loose around the transmission tank. This Jeep didn't come with a manual and I haven't been able to find a diagram on the net I can use so I can figure out where this cord plugs into. I tried searching underneath the jeep myself, but couldn't figure out where the cord should be plugged in at. The cord that hangs freely isn't cut, ripped, or damaged in any way. It's simply unplugged and hanging free. I posted pictures of the cord from different angles.

Does anybody know what this cord is and where it plugs in at?

Does anybody know where I can find a diagram so I can figure this out?













I'd appreciate any feedback/suggestions you guys might have. Thanks

 

So I double checked my ground at the antenna mount and I realized I was getting good reading just on the ground wire connectors and not between the ground wire and the body. So I re ran the ground and now have good ground between the antenna mount and the body.

One thing that I've always been confused with though is grounding the antenna. Do I ground the antenna mount only or the mount and the stud for the antenna???

Also I just checked swr via an external swr meter and I'm getting near perfect 1.0-1.1 swr on all channels. But still a lot of static and engine noise. I can always adjust squelch and rf gain but I feel like I'm turning the ***** too far to eliminate noise.

 

alright so i did a quick search but nothing stating this. how did you guys that pulled the carpet and put in the bedliner remove the sticky heat shield crap? is there an easier way of removing it than a putty knife? or should i just rhino over the stuff? dont think thats a good idea as it would hinder the adhearsion of liner?

 

oh and im well aware of the "its going to be loud and hot" so lets not worry about that as its not a DD. thanks.

 

Well if your mount is all metal and you have the mount connected to metal than technically its grounded there. As for the wire I would think it would be fine just attached to the mount. Also I never use a digital device to do my swr test so do you mean it reading 1-1 or that it is reading 1.0?
I usually use and analog device to do my swr tests.
