I'm having a problem right now with my new 4.0 shifting forwards under load about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. I have a good trans mount and new brown dog offroad poly mounts.
Tim at Brown dog is a very good guy and sent me a rebuild kit for my mounts because the shifting tore the poly bushing lips right off.
He says its probably from the 1" transfer case drop I have on the jeep right now.
I'm going to remove it and maybe drill the mounting holes forwards about 3/8ths of an inch. Tim said this should stop the shifting.
Have y'all ever heard of this? Anything else I should try?

Hey, I just bought a 1987 Jeep Cherokee Wagoneer Limited. It is my first personal car. I have grown up with my parents having Jeeps through my whole life but this is my first experience with a Cherokee. I just have a couple of questions. Firstly, does a pdf of the owner's manual for this car exist on the internet somewhere? Second, does a check engine light exist on the 1987 Wagoneer because apparently my dad can't find it? Third, does anybody know what the thing on the ceiling between the visors is? I think that is all of the questions I have right now.
Thanks,
JPCuog

I have a RE adjustable track bar on my cherokee that I need to replace the heim joint on. However, there is no way to fit a socket on the top nut, or a wrench. I'm trying to remove it from the bottom with an impact, but it isnt budging. ideas?

Do all power steering hose fitting seize to the tube? I don't want to have to buy new hoses but the ****ers just keep bending. Anyone got a trick up their sleeve?

For the return line, can I just use a barbed fitting and some tube? Since there's not a lot of pressure?

Could remove the bracket (already missing an important bolt), then reach the inside with a socket. Likely have to remove the coil spring also.

So why can't I find an upper heater hose, (or any heater hose for that matter), for the 4.0 XJ, am I supposed to use a universal, cut to length coolant hose?

Radiator to thermostat? Any parts store. Thermostat to heater core? Auto parts store match the hose size, cut to length pay buy the foot
