I have a 2000 jeep xj 4.0 bought a used motor put a new top end on it. started it up it ran good for 10 minutes and then it just died. went to start it back up and nothing tried to turn the main pulley and shes stuck wont budge at all. took all the plugs out and still wont budge. any tips on what I could try ?
Not as the vehicle sits now. In fact I just put the finishing touches up on things a few hours ago and am going to get it inspected tomorrow morning. I'll post some later tomorrow.
Hi, my 97 Cherokee Sport gas gauge stopped working while driving a year or so ago. I replaced the sending unit, and fuel pump module assembly. I checked the instrument cluster and it looks brand new, the fuel gauge contacts were shiny and tight. The harnesses looked new and the wires looked good. The gauge works during the self diagnostic test, but it won't work to read the fuel level in the tank. When I replaced the fuel pump module assembly the first time I put the key in the ignition and turned it to power but not start the gauge moved and looked like it was going to work then it dropped to E within second. The same thing happens when I plugged the instrument cluster back in, for a second it gave a reading but then dropped to E again. Any one know what my issue is and/or how to fix it??
Hello everyone, new to this forum, I have a quick question, I have done a lot of research and found little to no info. Seems like every time somebody asks about no lift specs people talk about how they fit on their lifted jeeps.
I have a 99 XJ 4x4 Classic, no lift. right now it has the stock 5 spoke wheels with 235/75r15 inch tires. I don't really want to go bigger on tire size just yet so I will probably be buying some tires of the same size as I need new ones. my question is.... with NO LIFT, STOCK SUSPENSION. I want to go with the Chrome Cragar Nomad 2 wheels. should I stay with the 15x7 or go with 15x8. and should I get 3.75 inch in backspacing or 4 inch? I don't want a ridiculous amount of tires stickout, but I want a nice clean slightly past the fender look. maybe 1/4 to 3/8 at most. if anybody has pictures it would help a lot. thanks

Not trying to sound patronizing, so please don't take it as such, but have you verified there's oil in it? If so, what was the oil pressure gauge reading before it happened? Other than that, I would start by pulling the valve cover and making sure you didn't drop a valve.

I had no idea when I bought it(my first XJ) but my buddy informed me that the steering parts on it are not stock. Tell me what I have and what I need to look for when buying replacement parts like tie rods ends. thanks in advance

Looks like Rugged Ridge crossover steering. Check their website or give em a call for replacement parts.
This I cannot seem to find in a search.
We just bought a 2000 XJ 4dr 4x4 and I was cleaning the engine compartment and found a module hooked to the Throttle body. th Module looks like it says Edge on it and it has a ****. Incremented from 0-20 and it is turned all the way up. Any ideas on what this is doing set to '20' vs '0'??

Looks as if it is or was lifted and the stock sway bar end links were used (as indicated by the bent tips). Get some adjustable ones if it is still lifted. ^^

indeed it is lifted roughly 3 inches. I thought they looked bent but wasnt sure how they are supposed to look. any suggestions for adjustables?

My temp gauge is fluctuating wildly while driving. Sometimes it stays at 195 like usual, sometimes it sits at 120, sometimes at 140. Think its the t-stat sticking or the temp sensor? Would the sensor throw a code I can have read?
Replaced my t-stat about 2 years ago so its pretty new. Stant Superstat Failsafe, so it could be failing open.
