To be honest though it's a Chrysler job, so electrical/wiring should be #1 suspect always.
Check out this thread: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/cr...x-tips-153657/ Indeed it's "mostly Renix" but gets you on the right track.

If got a light belt squeak at lower rpms, my belts good and tight, I can flip the belt only about 90*. Should I put any dressing on it?

Replace the belt.
I went through 3 belts before I bought a Goodyear Gatorback to eliminate a belt chirp.

+1 just get a Goodyear Gatorback. Tighten it until you don't get any squeaks. No need to make it tighter, it shortens bearing lifetime.

Just curious.. I just recently bought a 1993 XJ Country. From what I can tell, everything is pretty stock. I bought it as a secondary/winter vehicle, but it's such a fun change up to my RX8 that I'm considering keeping it full time rather than just to get me through the winter.
I plan on doing 2" budget boost lift, and keeping it on the stock tires with some black steel wheels.
But if I decide to keep it, I would like to go bigger, my only concern is that its just a shade over 200,000 miles. If I put too much tire under it would I be slowly killing the engine? Even if I do keep it I probably would only go 31-33 so nothing real extreme.
I just wanted some opinions on wheather this is a good idea or not.
Any input is much appreciated,
Thanks!

I got a 3'' lift on my Cherokee with Tuff country lower control arms, well the bushings in the tuff country aftermarket LCA is bad, so i want to change em. Well are they pressed in ? I dont have a press so i couldn't do it without. The bushings are 50 dollars, new lower control arms are $120, so it would be great if i can save some $$$$$$ . Let me know guys, thanks.

I have an 02 WJ and I havent had wipers in forever. First they would work then randomly they would slow and stop. Id have to stop turn the jeeo off for a few min then when I started her back up they would work. Well, now they don't work at all, I replaced the wiper motor and all the linkage, and the switch off the steering column. Took it to a shop because it wasnt working still, and they said the BCM was bad. Well I just replaced that and they still dont work, yes I have checked fuses and relays. Any other ideas?

I took it to the shop they checked all that and said it was good at the wiper motor, that there was a problem at the BCM and to go to a dealer. I just dont want to nor do I have the funds to fork it over to a stealership.
