OK so now I am second guessing myself. I installed a new timing chain and sprockets on my son's 89 Cherokee. Had the arrows on the sprockets pointing at each other all is good there ! My question is was the #1 piston supposed to be at TDC before the install of the timing chain and sprockets ?? The more I read about this procedure the more I second guess myself.

Yep, but it's normal. I've seen much worse.

I didn't know it was in 4x4, no part-time or full-time lights are on. The shifter, dog lever, 4x4 lever what ever you call it is in 2wd. This is my first jeep, and first 4x4 but I know for a fact it shouldn't have been in 4x4.
It finally made a popping noise and came out of 4x4. But I got it home and went to test it to make sure 4x4 works but the btch is stuck in 4x4 again.

My part time light has not worked since I bought my xj but you can sure as hell tell when its in 4wheel or not.... Yea 60mph on dry roads not good. I just never decided to change out or fix the sensor on the trans for the part time light. So just because light doesn't go on doesn't mean its not in 4wheel but youd had to of pulled the lever up to 4hi at some point..
Overhead console problems 1991
I have a 1991 Cherokee Limited with the fancy interior including the overhead console with temp/compass. When I bought the truck years ago, I knew then the outside temp gauge sensor did not work (mounted behind the front license plate) as the gauge always read 5degrees Celsius. The compass worked fine though. Recently the overhead display went blank altogether. Very recently it has started flashing on and off usually lighting all segments of the LED. Anybody got an idea where I should start????

I have a 4.5" lift and I'm starting to hear and feel some popping in my steering, I was thinking of replacing my stock pitman arm, any suggestions on what to replace it with to elimate this issue?
