Make sure. Chances are you don't need to replace the manifolds. They're hideously expensive, and problems are rare. Downstream of the manifold are two small pipes, then into a Y collector, then there's the actual downpipe. It's just bolts... seized probably, but that's what saw-z-alls for for

It might just be normal torque roll. Especially when it's running at a higher idle during open loop it is noticeable on my vehicles with non transversely mounted engines.

Renix uses a Delco CS-130 alternator with an internal regulator.

I made the mistake of telling him "yeah it'll bolt right in" before doing my research, and I'm not the kind of guy who can, with this new information, sell it to him and let him figure it out.

Damn not what I wanted to hear, is there a way to make it work. I have a guy interested in the alternator on my parts jeep which is a '93 and his is an '88.

"To engage, shift the transfer case lever from 2H to 4H while the vehicle is moving at any legal speed". I LET OFF THE GAS, THROW THE LEVER, TAP THE GAS AND LET OFF.
4L position: " To engage, slow the vehicle to 2-3 MPH , shift the transmission to Neutral, then shift the transfer lever to the right and pull firmly rearward to 4L".
TO SHIFT OUT OF 4L, SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL WITH THE VEHICLE STOPPED, SHIFT THE TRANSFER CASE LEVER TO 2H, THEN THE TRANS TO D IF YOU HAVE AN AUTOMATIC, OR INTO FIRST GEAR WITH A MANUAL, AND CONTINUE ON.

So it got warm today, and like I always have, rolled my windows down....well about halfway down my drivers side window got stuck and took forever to roll back up (didn't think it would!). None of the other Windows did this...which has me dumbfounded...the pic is when it got stuck and was delayed in going back up.
No, I don't lick fish.
I want to get a whole new exhaust system on my xj due to the massive leak I have and i have a few questions.
1. I have a 2000, does anyone know if the 2 piece header system is any harder to remove/install compared to the one piece
2. can i just put my old cat back on the new pipes?
3. Does anyone have the dynamax cat-back and if so, how does it sound?

As far as how it sounds, try this thread... https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/ch...thread-180356/
Here's a video of mine when it had the Dynomax cat-back on it... not a great video, but you kinda get the idea.
