We have a few up here, U Pull & Pay, 2 different LKQ's and Snake Road Auto Salvage. Snake Road (stuart) just got two XJs in a 98 & 99 4x4's. But they're a cash only yard. The LKQ and U Pull & Pay on Benoist Farms Rd (Southern Blvd by the Turnpike) are going to be your best options.

 

Thank you for the info, ill head up that way soon.

 

Hey guys, just joined saw this thread and noticed you all have quite the bit of knowledge. So I was wondering if anyone could help.

ive got an a 01 xj. I’ve been wheeling hard and heavy for 3 years. Now all of a sudden I’ve got this overheating issue. Little background info. I replaced the radiator 6 months ago due to leaking. I also replaced the mechanical fan. I replaced the water pump 2 days ago. I pulled the thermostat figured I’d run without it. Did an entire system flush. Everything is clean and flows well. Tried taking it for a spin lastnight. Within 5 minutes it was up to 210 and then 5 minutes later shot up to 260. I also have an aftermarket electric fan which works very well. I did notice my heat was ice cold. So I figured it was the heater core. But no smell or sign of leaking. I’m beginning to think it may be the head. But I want to be positive sense it’s a big job. My oil is clean. My coolants clean. Not losing either of the 2 or mixing. The only sign I picked up on is with my radiator cap is off and the Jeep is running it’s constantly bubbling.

I believe that’s all the info. I apologize if it’s not in order or not properly written. I’d appreciate and help or tips to point me in the right direction Thankyou.

 

Welcome. 1st, put a good thermostst back in it. 2nd, when you said replaced the fan, did you mean the fan clutch or actual fan? The fan clutch is what nages and disengages the mechanical fan. 3rd, do you still have a shroud over the mechanical fan?

 

okay easy enough. Yes I replaced the clutch. I do not have the shroud.

 

but also. I’ll mention. Everything ran just fine. With a ****ty clutch. No shroud. A **** thermostat. Then I hit some deeeeeeep mud hole. And now everything’s ****in up. Just need help. Starting to bother me heavily. Figured no thermostat. No restriction on coolant flow. It should run ice cold. Then I did the clutch. Figured that do the trick. Can’t figure it out. And I’m not sure how to tell if it need a head or something. But there’s no signs of failure other than constant bubble out of the radiator

 

At least I'd get better mpg's right? Lmao (just kidding, have a set of twenties I wasn't sure would fit so I became curious since I was doing brakes already lol)

 

Ok, that shroud "directs" and "funnels" the air, especially at lower speeds and at idle. Without that, your temps will be higher. Id check the junkyards for a used shroud first.

 

Define, "constant bubble out of the radiator"?. Sounds almost like a blown head gasket or cracked head if it's "bubbling" like I'm thinking.

 

Whats going on guys! Im in the south florida area (miami) and was looking for a stock front and rear axle from an XJ or early wrangler. Does anyone have any? Let me know. You can PM me or text me for a faster response 305 799 9291. I really appreciate it!

 

still looking for front and rear axles

 

There is a Junkyard (U Pull & Pay) off Benoist Farms rd and Southern Blvd,in West Palm Beach, that always has XJs. It's usally 125 for a whole axle assembly. But, you can check the prices online.

 

Stripped my MJ completely down and sold the rolling chassis. I just didn't have time for it anymore

 

Hey guys anybody here in the south florida (broward/dade) area with a 98-01 aw4 4x4 transmission in good condition? Thanks Mike.

 

Sorry, I don't have one.

I just got rid of the last of all my spare XJ/MJ parts. Everything I had was older Renix stuff and some CJ stuff.

I will be up at Jeep Beach from Thursday to Sunday. Whoever I meet with a Cherokee or Comanche will recieve a free Cherokeeforum.com decal.
