I was just curious if anybody has used the liquid iron industries xj shackle relocation bracket and if they had a tow hitch? I'm wondering if the bracket gets in the way of the tow hitch or if they interfere with one another. I want to get a row package for my Cherokee sport but would also like to ran the shackle relocation bracket and want to make sure they will work good together.

That's not bad, really. But do what Dave said and check the u-joint phase first. I hadn't thought of that.

Watch this video, it will explain everything about phase and angles.


I can literally HEAR the senile happening.

I know this is not an xj specific question but what could be the cause of what sounds like my lifters clacking on not too hard acceleration?
OIL level is ok, although I could add half a quart.

well it looks like all the parts for the transfer case are going to be here this weekend, not sure when the driveshaft will come in. I ordered it early in the week so maybe this week maybe next. If the driveshaft doesn't come in should I just go ahead and rebuild and drive it for the hour drive to and from college with the bad shaft (would only have to do this once at most and once at college it sits till I drive back) or wait till I get the shaft to rebuild? Last trip it started leaking pretty bad.

My jeep runs fine when you get in it and fire it up, after 45 minuites or so when it warms up it starts skipping. so far ive changed the fuel filter and cleaned the throttle body etc. any threads here close to my problem that might be helpful for me to look at or does anyone who has had the same problem have any ideas as to what to do next? thanks in advance for your input!!

Can anyone tell me the length and pitch of the screws that attach the lift gate hinges to the door itself. All 4 of mine snapped. Also, any idea what they screw into or how I can reattach the door if I am unable to get the originals out cleanly?

simple wear and engine age will cause the lifters to tick, usually when the engine is cold and it'll go away when at operating temp. nothing you can do about it unless you replace all the components of the head or buy a new head.

i thought I had exactly that until I found a crack in my manifold, now I think the ticking is caused by that and will figure it out when I install the new header, so it's something to keep in mind.

How can I check if my 2000 has the 0331 head, it has a new valve cover gasket so I think it may have been replaced.

you could rebuild and leave the front shaft out for the drive then slap the new one in when ya get it

SatiricalHen

well both shafts are bad so I have to figure out something for both.

One at a time? Once the SYE is in, you can throw it in 4WD and drive without the rear shaft

SatiricalHen

it has an sye in currently, the rear output is leaking because the shaft vibrates so bad it wallowed out the bearing, but the front shaft vibrates also. They both need replaced and the transfercase needs rebuilt.

Ah, sorry. I forgot you had said you installed it before

it's all good.
