When i turn off my jeep i hear a drip and a "ping" underneath. It seems as if it is within my exhaust somewhere. Advice?

Sounds like you need new/stiffer shocks.

What exactly do lower control arm cam bolts do?

I know they're to get your caster back in tune, but how do they do that, do they just extend you LCA a little?

Mine is a 2000. I gave up after a while. I was afraid I would screw it up.

If you are changing your injectors just unhook the throttle control linkages and rotate it up and towards you. It will now allow easy access to the injectors.

The throttle linkages just slip off by hand.

Ok I have a question: I've seen lots of later model XJ's with what appear to be early model front bumpers/bumper caps. Do the bumpers bolt up the same or is there a lot of voodoo in getting them to work?

I know that the newer model bumpers bolt directly onto an older XJ so it should work both ways

I have been having a problem with my 92 Cherokee Sport, when she has been running for about 20 minutes she starts to bog down like she is getting to much fuel, if I turn her off for about 10 minutes then she runs fine for another 20 then it starts all over again. I checked for any fault codes and I received a trouble code 76 = Fuel Pump Resistor Bypass Relay Circuit. Is this something I can do myself or do I need a shop?

If I install cold air intake, new throtle body, and headers, do I need to do anything with the computer or will it run fine with the performance parts?

Ford-style quick disconnect tool, or so I've been told. Funny looking thing made from two aluminum bars that pivot in the middle, the ends match up to make a circle shape.

All cars make this sound. It's just the stuff in the engine bay cooling off. Much like the sounds an oven makes when cooling off after baking. If it makes you feel better, double check your cooling, exhaust, engine mounts, etc.; there might be something worn, but the sound is probably harmless.

I don't know if this helps, but I know the alternators can get a little flaky when they start to go out. Currently, mine is working fine, but a few monts ago it would stop putting out power unless I tapped on it with the engine running, then it would work just fine, and as I said, works fine the last few months. Ill have to replace it, but it'll work for a while.

More to the point, the last one I had go out tought me something about the regluator that might help you. My regulator was going out and the computer was sending 20v to the regulator input, trying to boost output since the alternator was hardly putting anything out and I was running on battery.

I'm wondering if you have a loose wire going to the alternator regulator, or if some wierd thing like the transmission line got shorted to the regulator line or something. I've had all sorts of wierd "can't believe it" wiring issues with my jeeps. Cant' hurt to check, I figure.
