    Transmission issue, help before dawn !

    Hi guys. I'm helping another KJer who, while visiting my area, and not planning to stay overnight, reported various, and serious transmission issues, like slippage, failing to insert gears, limited speed ( not sure if that IS the 'limp mode' ) :( So I was called to the rescue, pulled out...

    CEL with code P0700

    You know, the same thing might happen some thousands miles away as well.... A quite similar problem is what moved me into searching info about the XJ ( see my thread about ATF ...). My neighbour is having P700, P702 (speed sensor) and and P0753 ( solenoid A electrical ). All codes I got by...

    NV242 and ATF+4

    Hi Guys! Today, while trying to do a friend a favour ( he owns a 1999 XJ Cherokee 4.0L ) I 'somehow' downloaded a FSM (1997) for that rig. Looks like it's 'official'... But, surprise surprise, when reading about fluid reccomendations, it ( the manual) talks about Dexron II or better for...

    I dropped the pan...

    I've been away ( not locked..., just visiting my family) awhile. OK, no welcome party needed.... Before leaving I put my KJ on four wood stands, removed battery, washed and oiled everything. Upon arrival, I changed oil and, finally, decided to 'drop the pan' that is changing 42RLE's filter...

    OK ..so I am getting ready to change diff fluids.

    Didn't want to join the thread, but it's getting so tempting... Me too am a syn-freak, but who knows, one learns by living... Had no idea that syn gear oil has a poor heat transfer capability. I may run some home-made tests one day... ( the opposite of the fridge test.... ) But,even if I...

    Electrical - Newb, but please hear me out

    Happened to me couple of times, it's the battery. Also, even if apparently electrical systems still have some level of self-protection (regulator..) it may not be all that advisable to drive on a dead battery, as if it is 'open' and therefore not draining any current, tension may rise up to...

    Don't feel too bad guys, I'm no superman either ..... I once left a convertible open and, guess what .... :eek: Not a tremendous issue, A/C on and blower at full speed (A/C dries out air ) and off You go!

    Lifespan of the stock battery

    Also, it's only my opinion, our kj's charging system doesn't seem to be an heavyweight....but yes, that may be due to our (low quality) s**t batteries... 6 Years !!!!!!????? (bowdown) I know this should be the norm, but here..... 2 years IF YOU ARE REALLY BLESSED ! Warm weather kills...

    Benefits of oiling?

    Hi KJ zGal I hate rusted steel so Yes, have it done before it's too late, but beware, unproper oil may end up ruining rubber parts ( I guess You already knew that ) and normally it does not stop corrosion, maybe only slows it down. First wash and clean (or have it done) her thoroughly, to...

    OK ..so I am getting ready to change diff fluids.

    Also it lowers the risk of sudden break downs, which, as anyone knows, happen in the most 'ideal' situations.... I'd rather not imagine that happening to me here at night....:eek: chances are .... Kick.gif (btw: no, I can't carry the proper tool for that job... :rolleyes:)

    Ruidos y golpes en kj 2006

    Hola Cherokee! No te preocupes, te estàn 'tomando el pelo' per son buenisima gente :) Aunque me guste mucho trabajar en mi Liberty, no soy super-experto, pero estoy pensando en lo siguiente: Si tu carro es 4x4 ( no lo dices .. ) revisa el nivel del ATF4+ en el transfer case. Revisa el...

    CV Boot Ripped...Now What? OEM, JBA, or JE Reel?

    Just another opinion ( might be stupid as well )... After removing the CV, clean it thoroughly and look for worn out splines or excessive play. If all is ok You can replace boots only. I know, I know, may sound obvious, but when my RH boot tore apart, I was surprised to see that after all...
