So, for those who think a D-44 is a big deal... To make a long story short, rear passenger bearing went bad so I decided to change both sides.. Drivers side went flawlessly but not so for passenger's.. After a few days a big puddle of gear lube formed on inner side of rim announcing a...

Tomorrow dawn the ordeal begins, though I won't tackle that alone...at least. Chores are : - Replace Rack & Pinion ( and finally fill with ATF+4 instead of PSF ) - Replace front coil overs ( OME + Ironman + Teraflex ) - Replace rear coils and shocks ( OME + Ironman + sorta hockey...

No, not a big issue.... My fan clutch has just gone south! It started with a strange click click click coming from the front, at first I thought it could be the tensioner or A/C compressor but nope. Then I noticed the mechanical fan blades were too slow and I could ( DON'T do this, it's...

Maybe I'm worrying too much, but my chain is starting to stretch ( You can hear it...). Are all 242 chains the same? Any clue about a reliable supplier? This time I won't go the OEM route ( those would not be OEM anyway... ). Shall I be referring to ZJs/WJs 242 TCs if the supplier does not...

All right, again about my soon to be lift..... 927s are here, Teraflex extended front bumpstops are on their way, my wallet is ready for good front shocks ( OME or Bilstein, I know ). Now, what is a bit of a nuisance to me is the rear (...) ....axle!!! I know I'll probably have to go...

Still inspecting the neglected '03... :D As it's definitively time to replace in/out radiator hoses, just glanced at OEM prices and... :eek:!!!! I must have been missing something ( maybe Crysler's new CEO... ) but prices are going up, expecially rubber components.... Not to mention engine...

I've just accepted the chore of bringing back to life a nice but not taken care of 2003 KJ. The new owners got her for cheap ( well, to local standards... ) with rear discs, 45RFE ( wow! ) and something else I can't disclose ( all I can say she'll require 928/948 and reinforced tires....) I'm...

Alright, even if I DIDN'T want to, I'm about to lift my KJ Hard to believe, I must be the ONE AND ONLY jerk who actually feels sorry for that... :favorites68: Reason is OE stock coils ( locally made to Chrysler specs ) are crap and on their way out so I'll take Tom's advice and go OME (...

When falling into even small potholes, I can feel the rear axle shaking and trying to... take another route :eek: It has become more noticeable over time. I guess it might be caused by worn lower control arms. Hope upper control 'boomerang' has nothing to do... Shocks are 15k old but coils...

Didn't know if it's worth a new thread, anyway... No, mine aren't broken, just wanted to know if anyone had to change his/hers and/or if they wear out often. As You already know, I'm stashing spare parts.......... Should I keep a pair of those too???

As I personally ( just my stooooopid feeling ) assume times might get tough, I was thinking of buying some spares which one might consider some sort of 'survival kit' or whatever! What would be the top 10 spares You'd keep if living in the middle of nowere...possibly out of cash too. Am...

No, I haven't got a new one .... No baby KJ, don't cry... As I'll probably shall be helping a mate with his KK's maintenance schedule (out of warranty here, so... fire at will!!!!) Here's what I know ( or don't... ) - dino 10W/30 API SM + WIX filter - No dipstick for tranny, but I'll...

Hi guys, small issue which is pi..ing me off! I know my kj is no longer 'fresh', but has only 47 kmiles and I've always been caring her ( as everyone knows). Apparently, she has started developing sort of 'rough idle', something like when radiator fans are full of mud.. I've cleaned the...

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...

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'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...

Hi guys! I'm stuck in a STUUUPIIID deadlock! I 've just got myself a PC-based ODBII scanner and analyzer. I'd not name the maker, but it sounds like autoe..... , nice product, a bit overkill actually! Guess what, the first OBD connector was ... my KJ's of course!!! Well, retrieval...

Hi to everyone! I'm a newcomer to the group, and I haven't introduced myself in the proper section ( i'm waiting to shoot some pics in nice surroundings ). I'm the first owner of a '06 KJ Limited, built in Venezuela. Only yesterday I realized it has only 2 O2 sensors... front ones...
