I've developed a squeak/chirping sound under the hood of my 99 XJ over the last week. I don't think it's a belt because that's typically a squeeling. It gets faster with the rpms, but seems to go away once warmed up. Could it be a pulley? It sounds like it's coming from near the alternator. Battery is holding a charge and the guages seem fine. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

 

A bearing in the alt.

 

Can I spray it with some pbb or wd40? Or will I have to replace the alternator?

 

Replace.

 

Ok thanks!

 

so i am running 31s with the dana 35 rear end and want to regear it should i go 4:10 or 4:56?? which will give me good power but still not too bad of rpms going about 60mph this is my daily driver and its a lug right now it needs some more pep!!

 

I know what you mean... I have 31's on my '88 and it needs some more get up and go. I plan on 4:10's personally.

 

What tranny?

 

aw4 95 cherokee

I haz no reverse lights LOL

really, upon hooking the lights and stuff up, I dont have reverse lights, the brake lights / running lights, and turn signals all work. Any ideas?

Could it be something to do with the surround for the shifter? I dont recall unhooking anything at the shifter when I had the harness all peeled out and sitting ontop of the dash, but that was a year ago.

thoughts?


edit. the jeep starts fine, so Id assume its not the nuetral switch, as there is a bad one in my other jeep, and it wont start unless you beat the hell out of the shifter with the key turned.

 

all i know is it is a chrysler tranny

 

YEAH thats what i was thinking but all i can find is 4:11 for the dana 35 rear end is it because they just use the 4:11 beacause its the same thing in general? and how hard is it to actually do yourself?

 

Here's a 4:10 combo kit for D30 front/D35 rear. <http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...egory_Code=RIN>

And I don't know how hard it is to install because I haven't done it yet. I need money... but don't we all... lol.

 

thanks man, and i dont have the money yyet either just makin my first plan for the jeep, i really hateee goin 0-60 in what feels like a minutee lol

 

So i have an 89 4.0 xj and it has a high idle between 1100 and 2000 ive replaced the idle air control (iac) and the throttle position sensor no change... Im not seeing any vaccume leaks sprayed with carb cleaner nothin... Any suggestions? Could this be 02 sensor or sparkplugs i wouldnt think so but im lost now please help!

 

Check for your throttle cable to not be returning all the way. Or your butterfly in the tb to be jamming cause it's full of crap.
