Anyone ever had the sony x-plodes or pioneers from walmart? If so, you like em?

 

The speakers might I add.

 

Im not a big fan of x-plodes. They dont have much bass. I ran Pioneers on my first jeep and they sound ok. Nothing high quality or anything but good for the price.

 

I just got a 2001 XJ (147k Miles) and I'm having just a few issues that I don't know how to fix/or if there is even a fix.

First is on occasion, I turn the engine on and I hear a very loud/high pitched whining sound from the engine, it goes away after about 30 seconds, or if I turn the engine off then back on again it usually goes away too. Is it the serpentine belt? is there an easy fix for this?

Second is, when I change into gear, any gear (park, reverse, neutral, drive), I get a very violent shake from the vehicle. Is this from the age of the transmission or is this normal? Is there anyway to decrease this?

It has the Inline 6, 4.0L. Stock trans.

Any help is appreciated

The belt would be a squealing sound not a whining sound. As for the violent shake Change you fluid in your tranny. Xjs use "special" tranny fluid don't just get Any crap from an auto store. The xj tranny can withstand alot of abuse. Good luck with your rig

 

Well, I would consider it a squealing sound then, should I spray WD-40 in there?

Ans for the tranny fluid, could I get a product name or link to the type I should get, or the kind you use?

Thanks for the help! Much appreciated.

I've got my memorial day all planned out to work on my Jeep now.

 

So what are some good speakers around that price?

..depends what you're calling "that price" but, there are plenty of options in the $40-$50-$60 range.
i'm ordering some kickers after i get paid next week.. i've had them before. nice full-range, pretty deep bass for the money.. Have you changed your head unit, or are you keeping that stock?

 

The trans issue sounds like u-joints, does it do it the whole time you drive? Fluid change may help, but sounds like it needs to be some very magical fluid! Oh and tighten your belt, I'll bet it does it with the A/C on too. Check that there is no play in the tensioner pulley.

 

1)Sounds like a serp belt or pulley issue.
2)I would check transmission mount.

GL.

 

 

Yea if you aren't the PO it's good idea to tune up your rig when you get it. If that belt is squealing get a new one. Dont get a mopar belt lately they suck. Im trusting someone will repost the belt they've used cause I went with a mopar, great quality other parts, and had to adjust it 3 times. It's not to hard to redo the belt you just need a foot long 13mm wrench but I forgot the size. You loosen the idler pulley and the tensioning bolt to remove. I'm not at a computer ATM I would get a pic for you. As for the tranny our xjs tranny I believe is Japanese not American. You need dexIII I'm gonna relook that up and get you the specific one.


Edit: my work van hard the tranny issue and it was leaking so it would be rough when changing gears

 

Hey guys,

So I just finished putting a 4in lift on my 89 jeep, had a little trouble with some bolts and bushings but we finally finished it yesterday... so we thought... When I turn right it sounds like some thing is binding then releasing with a loud bang... I've heard it could be the track bar but I replaced with a adjustible one from rough country... could it be that the whole axle is out of wack?

Thanks for the help

 

Thanks. And no, I'm keeping the stock head unit will that affect anything?

PO changed the master cylinder but there still no brakes. Fluid was low so I topped it off. When power is off I have resistance at the pedal, when I start the rig pedal will go to the floor with no resistance and the brakes don't work.

What should I do first?
