Squealing Belt
(Preview)
When the AC is on, or the heat on the vent setting it squeals really loud. I tightened the belt pretty much as tight as I could get it without overtightening it, but it still squeals. What else could it be?

The Backspacing Thread
(Preview)
I had a tire/wheel thread that was a poll at one time, and I kept finding wheel designs I liked a lot and it sort of evolved into me going postwhore with pictures of wheels. So, I thought I'd make a useful thread on the subject of backspacing. I don't know a whole lot about it, besides looking at the wheel fr...

But I figured since this is a Jeep forum that it's time to talk about getting better MPG's out of our Jeeps... So, I'd like to discuss things that you have (or would like to) do to increase the M...

We took the wife's XJ wheeling last weekend and about mid-day it started to "clunk" on left turns every once in awhile. I verified that I didn't bust a shaft and we wheeled the rest of the day without issues. It's now been a week and the clunk has somewhat gone away. It did however happen again t...

Chrysler 8.25" Carrier Bearing Replacement

Anyone ever replaced the carrier bearing on the Chrysler 8.25"? I think we've got a bad bearing and I'm 90% sure it's one of the carrier bearings. Anyone know what's involved to change one out? I think it's got some pre-load on it; is this true? Do I have to change the races out on the axle tubes as wel...

Rusted out water pump?
(Preview)
Well, took my XJ to a mechanic today (also happens to be my dad's friend) to have him look at it and see why it might be getting hot. He said it's running fine and they just run hot, my father doesn't seem to think so because his friend's wife's XJ had the same problem and the fins, if you will, on the water pump...

Well, since the last XJ I went and looked at wasn't that great, I'm going to look at another today. Now, the price tag is set 1750 higher than the last one, but I guess it's true when they say you get what you pay for (I hope the 2x price tag means at least 2x quality over the last one ) So, this one is a 1995 and it'...

I'm going to do a coolant flush and fill. 4. While I'm at it, the tstat housing is leaking so I figure I'll get a Hesco high flow unit for it and a...
