Thanks for the previous replies to my questions.  I'm now the owner of
a 1997 (facelift) Cherokee 60th anniversary Ltd, 2 owners from new,
and 52k miles (50k by the first owner, 2nd owner had it 1 month).  It
has full main agent service history and I spoke with the main previous

Well, the body shop says the accident bent my d44 case... will have to get a
new one or used one.
It took me forever to find a used d44 rear for my 01 tj.  Now I'm thinking
they will replace the case and keep my internal parts.  I'm suspecting that

I've driven a couple of these with the all wheel drive and V8 engines. They
seem to be problematic when shifting into 4x low at a dead stop either in
park or neutral; e.g. sticking and grinding. Is this normal or is there a
technique to it? TIA.

Anyone have a recommendation on the best SYE for a 97 TJ?  I'm running the
stock transfer case/transmission and a D44 Rear.  I just installed a 4"
suspension lift and I've got some vibrations that I need to get rid of.  I
put a 1" drop on the transfer case skid but it didn't help ...

Does anyone have experience with the J.B. Conversions Wide Chain Kit for the
NP231?   I'm getting ready to install my Tera 4:1 and I figure since I have
the case open I'll upgrade the chain.
Thanks Doug.

Does anyone have a positive or negative experience with either of these air
inake system?.  In particular on a '99 TJ.

Our '94 YJ speedometer "jiggles" up and down when driving at steady speeds.
I assume it needs a new speedometer cable. Has anyone changed their speedo
cable? Any installation hints?

I'm a relative Jeep newbie, but this group has already been an
outstanding resource for me.  I have an 03 TJ 4.0L, automatic trans.
When I reach nearly 50mph, I consistently get a rattling sound and
reduced acceleration.  The acceleration becomes very sluggish, similar

My Cherokee starts fine but as soon as I touch the brake pedal it kills the
engine. If  I keep my foot on the brake pedal it won't start. I tried
disconnecting the wire to the brake light switch but if I do this it won't
start. The brake lights work fine and the hazard lights work ...

I've searched this group on Google but can't find any relevant posts so
please help a newbie.
I have a 1993 Grand Cherokee and several years back I began to see
small blisters in the paint which eventually became bare spots.  Now

I have a CJ with a 232 motor with a holley 2bbl carb on topm a mister gasket
spacer. the carb is a 280 cfm. It runs rough at low speeds and when cold. it
also misses at all speeds when it rains. I think the rough  running is from
a vac leak under the carb. I'm only running a pcv, ...

I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee with 31,000 miles on it.
I really like it except that my MPG is awful... around 10/11 MPG city driving
(about 98% of my driving is in the city).
Does this sound right?

The drivers side heated seat on my 96 ZJ has stopped working although the
passenger side works fine. I recall seeing a post a while back to the effect
that a common weak point was where the power wire connected to the seat
heater mesh as it was constantly being flexed through use ...

Anyone get a Liberty CRD yet.
I live in Toronto and there is no build date here yet but I would like to
order one. Finally a small North American diesel powered vehicle!
Thanks,

I've got an 84GW 5.9L V8 that's tough on gas and not real fast.  I'd
like to put a 4bbl carb on it but until then what do you recommend?
New filters etc....?
