XJ Ask the Question Thread
I was thinking this as well so I've put it back in crossed the wires back together and now I'm reading like 4.7 volts on both wires. They both read ground when key is off. Still no spark.

Something to think about though on the 97+ XJ's with the plastic tank is that the stock skid is fairly week and if you come down on it hard enough to dent it it will still push the tank up just the same as if you didn't have one. The difference is that the skid will not let the tank pop back out. IMHO unless you put a heavy duty aftermarket skid on it you're wasting your time.

Composite rotors have a stamped steel "hat" with a cast iron braking surface attached. If you look at them it will be obvious that it's stamped metal - it's quite thin.
What actually matters is the stud depth. Pop off your rotor and see how long they are.

Today I spent the day removing my leaking radiator and replacing it with a Champion 3 core Aluminum Radiator and a three fan setup from Dirt Bound Offroad. Everything really well except the top plate on that goes on top of the radiator needed modification to fit properly.
Wiring was a cinch with the pre wired kit.
Works like a charm.
Fans when all three are running are rated are about 4200 cubic feet per minute. And less noisy that the one electric fan I removed.
Happy camper here.

Looks like there was indeed a casualty from jumping the truck. I have a popping sound every time I turn the steering wheel to the left. It doesn't ever do it turning right, but it does it every time as I start turning the wheel left. Wheel position doesn't matter. It seems louder and more forceful with the engine off, but it may be a trick of my mind due to the added noise. I can feel the 'pop' if I put one hand on the cowl or driver-side fender when I turn the wheel left. Nothing seems to be loose in the suspension.
I'm thinking it may be related to the steering shaft. Any ideas? I'm starting my drive back to Cleveland in the morning. If I don't pin it down by then, I'll just see if it breaks on the way home.

Tires are nice and tight. No wiggles in any direction. I'm just gonna GI and see what happens. The Manche has survived worse.
