Looks like I need a new tc and my front drive shaft had a ton of play at the splines. Thanks for the info newkindofclown! I am assuming that with the 8 inch lift iwore out the front drive shaft . Should I be getting something aftermarket considering the angle of the front shaft as a replacement?

 

Tips for removing the two driver side transfer case nuts? I have all of them but those two out. the cage around it won't let me get a turn on a wrench. Then if I try a ratchet (1/4") it won't clear a bolt on the trans.

 

9/16 stubby wrench with paracord tied to end, pullll.

 

I prefer to use half moon shape wrench.

 

Good idea, the proper tool always saves time and trouble.

 

I'm having issues with my parking lights coming on when I shut my Jeep off and also at random times. Typically I can get them off by turning the lights off AFTER turning the key off. But when they come on randomly I come back to a dead battery. Where should I start?

 

I would guess you have a late model Cherokee, higher trim level, with courtesy lights that stay on for a few seconds to illuminate your path at night. Again, I would guess there's an issue with that circuit.

 

I already checked and there's no pressure in the fuel lines. It's not the relay either. I'll try changing the filter first. Do I need a multimeter to check for power going to the plug just outside the gas tank?

 

So there is no external fuel filter. What I did find though is a box on the drivers side under the rear seat area. Of the two lines running from the gas tank, one goes to this box. It's broken right before the box on a rubber seal. Is this why it won't start?

 

After buying my lift and installing longer shackles, my measurement from the tire to the fender in the rear is 10" and in the front is 6.5". So the front is 3.5" lower than the rear....

I see people running spacer lifts, but would putting in spacers any larger than 2" or so have any negative effects? Stress the shocks more maybe? I don't plan on doing any hard wheeling until I get a few other projects finished up first, so that's why I'm considering spacers as a temporary fix.

 

Tried search...nuthin. Does anyone know of a source for leaf spring parts. I bought a used 3" lift, and thought I'd rebuild them since the clips and such are pretty rough looking.
Thanks.

Yes, I definitely recommend that. If you don't have a multimeter already, go buy one if you plan on doing your own work.

That's just the evap canister. It's filled with charcoal that soaks up gasoline vapours. There's a little solenoid under the hood that vents the contents into the intake when the thing gets full. Mine's been rusted off for some time, lol. When that line rusts out, gas vapours just go straight into the air.

Yes, you can run 2" spacers up front but remember that all of your front-end geometry changes.

What parts did you install exactly?

By the way, distance from tire to fender flare basically means nothing to the rest of us due to the different diameters of tires. Stock ride height is measured from the center of the hub caps to the bottom of the fender flare. Factory XJs measured 17" front and 17.5" rear.

Searched where? Google? lol What exact parts are you searching for? The spring clips and centering bolts? Most offroad shops sell these bits. Quadratec comes to mind, there are about a thousand others.

 

Today I had the opportunity to climb and descend Rose Garden hill outside of Moab, Utah

What a fun day, other than the large dent in my Transmission pan and my Transmission cross member.

I think I can straighten the pan and maybe the cross member.

Question, While I have the pan off the Transmission, what should I look for and what service should I consider doing.

I see Transmission and Transfer Case Skid plates in my future. What brand does everyone like the best?

1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport, Automatic Trans 231 Transfer Case.

RSWiser

 

Haven't tried that, but I will.... does the 92 have the ECT sensor?

Thanks guys

Yeah that's a unit-bearing.

 

So, how is this any different than removing the CAT? Which can't even be wispered about.
