#2386 of 2529 98 Cherokee Engine swap by cdesha1 Aug 16, 2008 (3:07 pm)
I blew the engine in my 98 Cherokee 4.0, so I bought a used 98 Wrangler 4.0 engine to replace it... Well it turns out the entire accessory system is different on the Wrangler engine so I had to swap out the Alternator and A/C compressor mounting brackets, the water pump pulley, along with three of the front cover bolts. I also used the old power steering bracket. I have tried every belt size you could imagine and I can't seem to find the correct size. The belt for the Wrangler is too big and the Cherokee belt is way too big... If anyone has done this or just happens to know the correct belt size, please help... Thanks.

Replying to: cdesha1 (Aug 16, 2008 3:07 pm) i assume that you have a serptine belt and are probly trying to install it wrong the cherokee belt should be the right one if you changed the mounts from your old engine i know the smoth side has to drive the water pump so it snakes around over the top of the pully Replies to this message: cdesha1 (Aug 16, 2008 10:16 pm)

Replying to: dancerman (Apr 23, 2007 2:49 am) I have a 2000 JCS and have the same problem with shudder when I go over 55mph. Has there been any answer to your questions as to which axle shaft or driveshaft. My question would be,,,,why don't the Jeep dealerships know about this problem.?????
#2390 of 2529 spewing antifreeze? by jabrocak Aug 19, 2008 (4:23 pm)
Hi guys, i just found this forum and it's been great reading it! I have a 95 jeep cherokee sport, 4.0L, straight 6..199K...blah blah.   i too was having front end issues for a while, and the shimmies at 50-55mph. new tires/rotate helped but there was also a crack in my track bar.. just thought id throw that out there since it seems a lot of people here were having problems with that.   anyways! i was just out getting some food and went to make a turn and discovered my jeep was very difficult to turn.. i stopped, checked my gauges (everything seemed fine) and started up again. same problem, very hard to turn so i pulled over and thats when i noticed antifreeze spewing everywhere. just wondering if anyone knew what this could be? i plan on taking it to my mechanic on pay day, but was interested to see if anyone had any ideas. hopefully its nothing major.

Replying to: jabrocak (Aug 19, 2008 4:23 pm) Just where was it spewing antifreeze from? Hose, water pump, etc.
#2392 of 2529 Air Conditioning woes by ryan99 Aug 21, 2008 (3:41 pm)
Hi everyone, I'm back again with more ac problems...I have a 99 Cherokee 4.0 with 123k. AC died last year, Dealer said the evap coil was leaking and would cost $1200. passed on that and had it sealed and charged professionally this year at a local mechanic. Its been ice cold since April but this week it started to blow COOL but not COLD. One would think the leak is back causing the change, but I put a guage on the low side and its cycling between 55 and 80 PSI, which indicates overcharge, I have not added anything to it since the Mechanic charged it. I am not seeing a drain puddle underneath the car anymore or on the floor, but the compressor is cycling. The aluminum lines are frosting up, but not the condensor ( or whatever that bottle shaped part is at the firewall on the passenger side.) Any Thoughts? Thanks, Ryan Replies to this message: ryan99 (Aug 22, 2008 6:25 pm)

#2394 of 2529 steering gear by bigflan99 Aug 22, 2008 (1:45 pm)
Hello, I have a 1991 Jeep Cheerokee XJ. The steering gear has breen creaking for some time now. Everytime I turn the wheel it pops and groans. My question is: are the steering gears servicable? If so where? I can't find any openings other than power steering. Replies to this message: 98grandc (Sep 21, 2008 7:47 am)
#2395 of 2529 Dust/debris guard??? AC recharge by mikevt1 Aug 22, 2008 (3:20 pm)
I have a 94 cherokee 4.0. I have had it for only a little while. Already I have fixed the vacuum hose for the heating/ac and replaced a fuse for the blower motor. Can I get a A/C recharge kit and fill it myself, could have sworn someone told me I would have to take it to someone??   Also I noticed yesterday that there was something hanging down from under my front bumper. I got under there and it looks like a dust guard or debris guard that protects rock kick up from getting into the belt area it is not going to go back up (its worn). What is it and where can I get another I live in the desert in arizona and there is a real need for it here??   Send me an email through my name mikevt1 above. I appreciate it
