O.k. guys give it to me. My rear outer bearings have been replaced. I still hear grinding in the rear. Is it the carrier bearings? Is it my pinion bearings? Help.

Not trying to hijack, but I could use a hand diagnosing my air conditioner.

The compressor does not even click on. I've heard that it could be low on freon (which means a leak somewhere) or a bad compressor clutch. I'd like to test my clutch but don't know what switch to jump, or where it would be. If anybody has a picture I would really appreciate it, that would be the best. This is a 92, so ya know, and thanks in advance.

Default what are these wires

so i just put some new spark plugs on my 2001 xj. this is the first time that i have done this on a distributorless jeep.
i am not sure if i accidentally unplugged something or if this was unplugged to begin with but i have a 2 wire harness (one white wire and one gray wire) near the coil rail harness and i dont know what its supposed to plug into. it has some print on it that looks like it reads:

B7921-H (the B may be and 8) not totally sure
2040-31

does anyone have a clue as to what this is? its a 2wd with no cruise control if that helps.

please help...

Default Openable lift gate window for '96

Was there an option on any XJ that would fit a '96 for an openable lift gate window?

I had an early Bronco II that had one. It was handy when hauling long lumber or plumbing parts, etc. I still have the camper shell from my Dakota that I could take the back window from, if I can find someone good with fiberglass to modify the gate. I'd rather find one that fits, though.

Since my XJ is a 4x2, the mods I want to make are to make it more serviceable for me, instead of trying to trying to turn it into a mudder. My next one will be a 4x4 since I have use for one of those, too. And, I still intend to keep this one. One month into owning my first Jeep and I'm seriously hooked!

I have a 93 XJ with a manual tranny--what is the best way to get the new oil into the tranny? Also I need to replace my wheel joints--is it possible to replace them without pulling the hub? Many thanks in advance.
