Hi! So I've asked this before but I just can't get an answer...My brake line is being squeezed between the axle and exhaust...Is this due to saggy springs or did my brake line somehow relocate itself? Basically, does this look right? If not, is there an easy way to fix it or relocate the line to?

Thats the cable for the parking/emergency brake, assuming nobody redid yours. Bumpstops on rhe frame rails should prevent anything from touching.

Ohh now I see...So it goes inline along the top of the axle! That makes sense. Now I can find a solution...Thanks so much!

Thanks, too you, too, Salad!

is there a video around anywhere showing how to rebuild the 703 injectors? I can find plenty on how to clean them but I can't seem to find someone showing how to take them apart. I have the rebuild kit with the o-rings, plastic tip part, and microfilters.

Use a screw and screw in the filter and pull with a pliers, then take off the o rings and pintle caps. Lightly hammer the new filter with brass hammer, put o rings on it, then put the pintle caps on

The cap just comes straight off? It was so difficult for me to find the first 4 of these things I'm worried about messing something up.

Why not just flush them per Youtube videos?

I bought the rebuild kit so I figured I'd use all of it.

I'm having a problem right now with my new 4.0 shifting forwards under load about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. I have a good trans mount and new brown dog offroad poly mounts.
Tim at Brown dog is a very good guy and sent me a rebuild kit for my mounts because the shifting tore the poly bushing lips right off.
He says its probably from the 1" transfer case drop I have on the jeep right now.
I'm going to remove it and maybe drill the mounting holes forwards about 3/8ths of an inch. Tim said this should stop the shifting.
Have y'all ever heard of this? Anything else I should try?

Default Just bought first Cherokee

Hey, I just bought a 1987 Jeep Cherokee Wagoneer Limited. It is my first personal car. I have grown up with my parents having Jeeps through my whole life but this is my first experience with a Cherokee. I just have a couple of questions. Firstly, does a pdf of the owner's manual for this car exist on the internet somewhere? Second, does a check engine light exist on the 1987 Wagoneer because apparently my dad can't find it? Third, does anybody know what the thing on the ceiling between the visors is? I think that is all of the questions I have right now.

Thanks,
JPCuog
