i should also mention that the belt has been of just recently and this has started after reinstalling it. it also does squeal. it was much worse and have tightened it down twice now to where it seems tight but still squeaks a little, no where near as bad as it did.
I have been told to just keep adjusting it until i find the sweet spot. my question in that regard is how tight ?, and do i need to loosen the power steering pump to spin the adjuster or can i simply turn that bolt and tighten the belt with out loosening anything else?

if your looking for a front ds to replace the one in the rear after installing an sye, how do you know if it will fit your xj?
i mean does the jy vehicle you take it out of have to have matching tc or engine? does it need to have same transmission? ect.

I've been flushing some very determined stuff out of my system myself, and when I refill at the radiator, I take off the upper hose at the t-stat housing. This allows some of the air displaced by coolant to exit the system (far better than rocking the jeep to get bubbles out of the radiator). I get about 1 and 1/2 gals in like this, then I fill the reservoir up to halfway between the add and fill mark. The air left in the system will get out in time, so you're just going to have to check your reservoir often and add as needed. I've noticed that if you let the engine cool for about an hour or so, you'll get a pretty accurate reading at the reservoir. So heat it up, then watch a movie or something.
Also, when you install your thermostat, take a good look at it for markings as to up, down, left, or right. Mine already had very tiny holes for bleeding air out already, and an L on one inside arm indicating it goes toward the left side. I missed these the first time through. I've read about others who have drilled it out just like you mentioned with no ill effects, though, so do as you wish.

im changin the doors on my 2 door cherokee, and i am havin troubles gettin the bolts out. One has stripped on the bottom (already have fender pulled) and the top 2 i cant get to because the hing has broken the welds from the tub and i cant get to the bolts.
So whats a way i can get to them without screwin up to much. Im not worried about the door itself, but i need to keep the hinges sense i dont have any extras. We have tried to drive the pin out of the hing but cant get it to move any.
Any ideas??
