    Direct LED replacement headlamp bulbs

    'Motorweek' on PBS just did a segment on LEDs. They showed replacement tail lights, running lights, etc. They last almost forever. The circuitry will fail before the bulb does.

    Stall, What to look for?

    So the cheap tranny filter caused your engine to stop running? Or do you mean something else when you say "stall"?

    Required Fluid Types

    Did not know about the fluid pump so I learned something new, already a good day! Of course all this is confusing to someone who is just trying to get the OE stuff in their T-case. But if you are a DIY'er you have to know all of the angles in case the parts store that is open on Sunday...

    Required Fluid Types

    I did use ATF-4 in mine but... I don't want to make warranty problems for someone else but I wouldn't be so hung up on ATF-4 in the t-case... ATF-4 is a cheap & satisfactory fill at the factory level due to the nature of ATF, (a superior lubricant that doesn't hurt rubber and can work under...

    High mileage club

    139K miles, 2 radiators, power window repair LR 2x, RF 1x, blower motor & rear supension recalls, catalytic converters/exhaust & A/C compressor. Drives better than new these days because the crappy OE Goodyears are long gone.

    Gas Overflowing?

    Seems to change with the weather and gas pump. I have had this problem too, hasn't happened lately and I am still filling up 1-3 times a week.

    Transmission oil type / grade

    First time I ever saw ATF in a manual transmission was in about 1975. It was the factory fill on a 67 Dodge Dart. It worked fine then as is does now. There is a syncromesh fluid just for the New Venture Gear manual transmissions used in Chrysler and GM cars. Chrysler has used it but...

    Shaky start from stop after lift/tires

    Maybe it's coming from the rear? What about the recall for the rear lower control arms?

    Magnaflow cats don't fit so good.

    The Magnaflow doesn't fit 4WD and will leave your CEL on. (P0420 & P0430) It's the shiniest, best looking P.O.S. I have ever worked with. I see other posters had success with Walkers... But I am going with OEM before my next emissions check. Ditto on the the spark plugs, the multiple...

    13mpg normal?

    No, same for everybody (and almost all vehicles) but some people get good MPG and some people don't. I think it is all in the right foot. Stabbing the gas and being on/off the pedal all of the time is what kills the mileage. KJs get around pretty good on what seems like 1/8 pedal. Think...

    13mpg normal?

    Keep in mind that the throttle body is opening quicker than you think because of the way it is cammed. Probably aggressive at the start.

    HELP! Stalls after stopping

    I never heard of lubricant on the intake walls. Still so far your fuel injection is not 100% clean. Have you removed your air cleaner hose and looked inside the throttle body? There could be a ridge of gunk on the inside of your throttle body blade that is causing all of your problem...

    HELP! Jeep Clicking When Cold- speeds up with engine

    The "slap" is the piston skirts hitting the cylinder walls.

    HELP! Jeep Clicking When Cold- speeds up with engine

    Not necessarily from abnormal wear, also from sloppy tolerances and different materials expanding at different times in the warm up process. The Dodge 2.0 Magnum got Mahle pistons for this after a while. My 2002 Neon ACR didn't have them, it made noise for at least 140K miles that I know of...

    HELP! Stalls after stopping

    Have you had a shop clean the fuel injection system yet? The stuff in the tank only cleans 1 part of it and may be marginal cleaning at best.

    HELP! Jeep Clicking When Cold- speeds up with engine

    A lot of mass produced engines make some noise. Whether it's a hydraulic lifter or piston slap. Fuel injectors will make noise too. Both of my old Neons sounded like they would blow up when starting up cold, they never did.

    Right. No syn or semi syn is required.

    Required Fluid Types

    What it says on the filler cap and the synthetic part is up to you. Everybody has their own opinions on this. Since the owner's manual says not to go over 6K under any circumstance and I drive 25 to 28K miles a year, (about 5 oil changes), I use dino oil and it is just fine.

    [B]This is not a correct statment what I was reading.[/B]

    XJs have been dead for 11 years yet it seems like millions are still on the road. Most of them still look pretty good.
