2001 Cherokee starts fine when cold, but once warm if it sets for 5 minutes or more it takes 2 or three crankings to start. I replaced the coolant temp sensor, but no change. I hope i'm asking my question in the right area of the forum.
Has anyone had a simular problem?

So I need to replace the passenger side tie rod and the drag link (the one that connects the pitman arm to the tie rod, right?) I'm planning on going to 35's and a long arm eventually, is there a better steering kit that will work stock and with the long arm? I really don't want to buy things twice and definitely can't buy everything right now. Do you guys recommend an over the knuckle kit or should I just stay stock for now? I forget does the rusty's or other long arm kits usually come with steering stuff as well?

Yes to the adjustable DS trac bar. But if you're looking into low cog, there's a thread specific just for that on this forum. I see where you want to go, but to be honest, someone who's done low cog can help you more than me. I dont want to steer you in the wrong direction.

And valve SEATS? Nah. Valve SEALS maybe, but not necessarily on start-up.

ok kind of urgent..
I noticed my passenger front brake line was rubbing when I take a hard right turn. I made sure the big rubber sleeve was in the spot where it rubs for a temporary fix.
Can I spin the line 180 degrees and reconnect it without there being a problem? It looks like it's reversible but the line will now be pointing down. It puts it into a more proper bend though and should keep it away from the tire.

Edit: Is the bracket in the fender bent up? pics would help.

Alright so I went trail riding through my friends woods yesterday, lots of hills and ditches to crawl through. After about an hour I noticed the jeep started to go up to 4000-5000 rpms till it would move, so I turned off the jeep thinking the trans had overheated, and it did. I could here a sizzling and boiling sound coming from it. Lol. So I waited till the noses stopped and got out of the trails. By that time it was night so I just parked it and let it cool down. I checked the trans fluid and it looks like coffee creamer and comes almost to the top of the dip stick. Next day, I checked the trans fluid and it's at normal levels but is still creamy colored. Took it around the block and it drives/shifts fine, just as good as before. Not sure if I messed anything up or not, am I find with just a full 8qt fluid change or is my trans soon to be toast?

1) Prevent rubbing
2) Prevent pinching of the line
3) Allow as much travel as possible
Usually, this means the line points up, but the caliper is spun once to put an 'S' curve in the soft line
2001 Cherokee Limited stalled while driving and would not start. Code read "1694/crank shaft position sensor". Replaced that sensor with a new one, and the Jeep still won't start. Odometer now reads "no BUS", and the ASD relay continually clicks when key is in on position. Need help finding a fix...Thanks!

Otherwise I would check the turn signal wand. Jiggle it and tap it without turning the signals on. If there is a change in the amount of light, it's likely the issue.
Is your flasher module a resistor to make up the missing load from installing LEDs or is it a replacement for the stock relay?
