This is going to be a long Question, hopefully you guys can read it all But hopefully someone can help me out here! I have an 89 xj 4wd 4.0, but when driving my gears shift to quickly even when I have im flooring the pedal. My passing gear is not downshifting, it just sucks in a lot of air and slowly speeds up, I tried adjusting the accelerator cable the way someone in here posted. But still did not work. I changed the TCU the solenoids from the valve body. I did noticed one thing though the accelerator cable on the valve body is a bit loose. Could this be the issue or am I wrong, thinking bout changing it tomorrow. Please help ASAP!!!!

I am trying to determine if I have matching axle ratios without pulling the covers and counting teeth. The rear axle seems to have a limited slip (both wheels turn forward while jacked up). The front axle is open.
R) axle, 1 turn of the wheel = 4.250 turns of the drive shaft.
F) axle, 1 turn of the wheel = 2.00 turns of the drive shaft.
Is the procedure the same for an open diff as it is for a LS? Should I be checking with the transfer case in 2wd or 4wd?
I checked the front with both wheels in the air as well as one on the ground. Both had same results.

I have a question about my oil pressure gauge in my 89 XJ. The gauge isn't giving a reading and I don't know if it's just the little pointer that possibly just gave up or what. Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

I just finished replacing the floor in my 96 Sport. The little red shifter marker now doesn't line up with the position windows. Is there an adjustment or did I brain fart and install something wrong? It works fine. Any one seen this?

These worth $250 for a set of 4rims with three decent tires one not so great
Also did the person who was trying the auto tps on a manual renix cherokee confirm that it works fine?

Before you tear it all apart, push the clear plastic forward. It might be hard. Whenever I open mine I have to adjust the clear plastic afterwards.
