AC does not work, so i rarely use it, and there is a little spot where there is some cracking in the vacuum line going from the main line to the servo. I was thinking of just getting a new servo but if i could just replace that small line that would be great. Any ideas as to where to get one?

Any way that i could check them?

 

Hardware and automotive stores will commonly have vac lines. Another component is the check valve- a one way passage- always good to pull them out of the lines and see if they function properly. Remember which way they go!! I'm sure Ken will have diagnostics sheet up soon

 

Where abouts in the line is this one way valve??

 

Why a YJ servo? Is it compatible with XJ circuit wiring?

 

Do these have steering wheel commutators that could get dirty?

 

Ken.... JY. Junkyard. Not YJ.

 

Location wise idk exactly. There is one on the pass side firewall where vac line comes out and splits into two lines. Another one or two on the lines into intake manifold, they should be pretty close to manifold. Poke on google and do site specific searches here jeepforum, naxja and pirate for some images/diagrams.

 

I have a 2015 Cherokee Latitude with Active Drive II. I hear a high-pitch whine more often than not when it is running. I have been told by service mgr at dealer where I purchased car, that it is a water pump and is common among Cherokees (not necessarily Latitudes). He said Jeep is aware but there is no fix.
Has anyone heard of this problem?
Can anyone confirm this is common?
Can anyone confirm Jeep has no fix or resolution for this problem?
Can anyone indicate a possible fix?

Thanks.

XJ frame reinforcements:

Save $64 and go with the full "C" design from Hooligan or spend the $64 and forgo the extra vertical wall, but have extra bracing up into the front wells and a supportive lip on the floorpan with the ones from Ruffstuff? Or go with neither because there is a better option from ________?

 

Your vehicle is body code KL. Try here: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f87/

XJ Cherokees rolled out of the factory in 1983

 

Hmmmmm.

I like the Hooligan Offroad units because of how they completely cup the frame rail. I am biased against them because they say call it a unibody stiffener... ffs. They're uh definitely seriously thick. lol

I don't think the RuffStuff design with the lip onto the floor pan is really necessary. I'd buy the Hooligan stiffeners and pick up a front and rear set to complete the vehicle. HD Offroad Engineering has some http://hdoffroadengineering.myshopify.com/

 

I have a 2000 XJ (111k)..when starting out there is a grinding noise which seems to be slower than road speed. I jacked each wheel up and the wheels are tight and no odd sounds when spun. Pads and rotors look good. Did the NASCAR wiggle driving and the noise did not change when loading and unloading the front end. This makes me think it's not the wheel bearings.

What else should I look at?

 

I took a look. Didnt hear any leaking noises along the lines after shutting my engine off. Ball had a lot of suction when i disconnected the hose from it. might just spring for a new servo or maybe ill just try the new valve first

 

1992 4.0

Throwing codes 12 (recent battery or computer disconnect) & 17 (Engine stays cool too long)

Not too worried about #12, even though it's been forever since I've disconnected either, #17 is definitely a truth fact though. I recently replaced the thermostat from a 160* t-stat to a 195* t-stat and it STILL scarcely hits operating temps. I'm quite sure it's the temp sensor/sending unit I'm just looking for recommendations on which ones to get and which to stay away from.

RockAuto.com sells Airtex/Wells (which I've heard wonderful things about their fuel pumps ), Standard Motor Products, Delphi (which I've always had good experience with), and AC Delco (also good from my experiences).

Anyone have any other suggestions or warnings?

 

Delphi IIRC does Toyota parts. I've ran a few of their sensors and didn't have issues. And AC Delco isn't too bad neither. Stay away from airtex wells even if they paid you to sleep with a model.
