Replying to: yeats66 (Jun 01, 2009 1:03 pm) --a GREAT trick i learned with vacum leaks is to take carb cleaner,and a "straw"(like on a can of wd40?) spray around these places that it could be leaking--while the engine is running--if the engine starts stalling-or running faster--THAT'S WHERE YOUR VACUM LEAK IS!!! fixing the leak is the next step.. good luck!! |

| Is there a possibility that this is caused by a differential issue? Front Track bar & harmonic balancer replaced. Still doing the death wobble at 53 mph about 35% of the time. Of course, not when a mechanic is present... | |
Just bought jeep cherokee, is there a secret to changing oil filter-looks a nightmare. Any suggestions would be wonderful, cheers..

Replying to: kendo77 (Sep 24, 2009 3:25 am) I never even knew Jeep offered a 2.5 diesel until today so I don't think I'll be able to help you with this one! Good luck with it. |

Replying to: kendo77 (Sep 24, 2009 3:25 am) --make shure you have the right replacement filter,as being stuck-if this is your only ride,it'll be a long walk back to the parts shop..wet the rubber "O" ring with a dab of oil before you install the new one-kind of like THE DIRECTIONS SAY?..sorry,but get a lot of people asking things that are printed on the box.. never overfill the engine..it's better to run it 1/2 quart low-than over,as the extra oil puts extra pressure,and can damage sealsand more fun things like that..after adding oil,and running engine-to fill the filter,check for leaks,DON'T over-torque the filter,as that will make getting it off the next timeextra difficult..that "extra" twist-just to make shure it's tight-COULD crush the filter's seal,and make it leak..spin it down till it contacts the seat,then3/4 of a turn(use the labels on the filter to judge),and it should be fine.. ----- --your 1 inch clearence should be just enough to get the old one out,and the new one on.. good luck-and let us know ifin it worked or not..

Replying to: kendo77 (Sep 25, 2009 3:54 am) -they make a 2/3 sized filter for those tight applications..the simple way i'd find it would be to look up dodge filters,(phram's numbers are prefixed with a "ph"..the big one was a ph8a,the small one was-ph16a,or something like that,but check with your parts place-or,are you having to order and ship? -but give that a whack..ok?
