Put in a new upstream O2 sensor to pass smog emissions in CA. Then discovered my check valve was leaking fuel...perhaps it's not tight enough?

i took apart my front diff just to find out that nothing was wrong with it, i can swear that its not locking correctly. does anybody know how the 1992 jeep transfer case locks the differentials (i thing its the np242 or something like that) its got the full time / part time selection. well anyway put it back together with new oil and posi oil, and found out i need new calipers and pads for my brakes.

After tearing apart half of my XJ. I did a lot of forum searching and read dozens of threads to find a cure for my parking light fuse blowing. Thanks to a thread by teeonehundred who had the same issue, the problem is solved and I am happy.

I changed my front axle ujoints. 208k miles and never changed. What a m'fer. Caps basically rusted to the yokes. So bad one of the yokes bent a little my 20 ton press was pushing on it so hard. Let's not talk about how rusted the hubs were into the knuckles.

My serpentine belt snapped on the way to work this morning. Eight hours, a ride in a police car, a new water pump, broken glasses, and nearly $200 later, my Jeep runs again!
