Did you put it on in the wrong direction?

It was put in in the right direction.It will run good until it heats up to normal temp.

Did you replace the temp sending unit on the therm housing?


OH on a side note anybody ever put a 97 or newer headliner with the overhead speakers into an older one? I got one from the junkyard and started to puttin it in. Ran into a few bumps with wiring, and now I'm having a bit of trouble with the speaker bar. Any help please.... it'd be great.

Default Please help not shifting and bad death wobble

I have a 1988 Cherokee laredo. I just purchased it and there is a horrible death wobble. I replaced front stab links, front left and right upper and lower control arms, front wheel bearings.... I bought a new steering stabilizer and tie rod end also but have not yet installed them. As soon as I hiT 50 death wobble kicks in everytime. Track bar looks ok.. It does need alinment and wheels balanced. A friend told me front axles were causing it and he cut them out!!! The yokes are still in place. Any ideas on fixing this thing.. Also i pressure washed the engine now it wont shift out of 1st. Looks like it may be tps sensor by reading some posts on here.. Can i just use a blow dryer on it or do i need to replace it?? Its been 3 days now still wont shift? Any help would be great. Thank you

Did some further research. Turns out my 01 XJ's fan won't turn on until the engine temp exceeds 215, or the AC reaches a certain pressure threshold. On my 96 XJ, the fan goes on at once with the AC (which caused my misunderstanding). End result: fan works fine on the 01. AC will still cut out after ~20 min due to an overheating clutch on the compressor (it's a Sanden), but I'll get that fixed when I can afford it.

Thanks for the help!

I've never used a boss amplifier, but I have used their speakers and they were decent for the price.
