    Jeep 4.0 pegging oil pressure gauge when cold

    This morning upon applying some throttle to climb the rather steep hill I live at the bottom of I noticed that the oil pressure gauge was beyond 80PSI!! Engine RPM was about 2000. I let off and it dropped to 60PSI, about where it normally is when cold. I have observed this behavior a couple of...

    '01 Jeep Cherokee XJ, Rotella T 5w-40, 6613 Miles

    This interval saw a wide variety of uses; my 1.5 mile commute to work, about 2 months of my wife's 7 mile commute to work, random medium-length trips, and some long highway trips (both with a ~2klb trailer and without). The vehicle also sat virtually unused for 7 weeks while I was out of the...

    Source for USA Made engine lift

    I'm looking for a good source to purchase a made in the USA engine lift. I prefer the type with the fold-up legs and the telescoping boom. I suppose a 2-ton would be best, but I really can't imagine ever lifting more than 1000lbs. We recently bought one at work and they couldn't find anything...

    Looking to buy a deer hunting rifle

    This last season was the first that hunting with a rifle was allowed during shotgun season in the county in western NY where I hunt. Though I love my Browning gold hunter 3-1/2" semi-auto, I think a rifle would be nice for longer shots in open terrain. I have been thinking about something in...

    99 Subaru Forester EJ25, M1 15w-50 EP, 3890 Miles

    I'm posting this for Cookie, a member of the Subaru forum USMB. His words: "It was in the car about 9 months. This car does a mix of short trip, home depot, grocery, library, all within a couple of miles. Four or five days a week it runs into downtown SF (40 miles there and back). I would call...

    '01 Jeep Cherokee XJ, 4.0, M1 T&SUV 5w-40, 12498 Miles

    This interval saw my previous daily commute of around 110 miles, mixed in with some other duties. I have since changed jobs and moved, so now I drive around 15 miles a day. I plan on using GC for a six month winter interval and T&SUV for a six month summer interval in this engine and in my...

    Oil for 92 Jetta 1.6 Turbo Diesel

    Well I finally did it. I bought a 92 Jetta with the 1.6TD on eBay. Crazy I know. The $400 a month to fuel the Jeep is just too much. I will save it for the snowy days. Of course I bought this car sight unseen and I have no idea how well it has been maintained. I plan at least one ARX treatment...

    '01 Jeep Cherokee XJ, 4.0, German Castrol 0w-30, 9000 Miles

    I promised you all a 10k on GC, but I ended up draining at 9k. To the GC fans I am truly sorry, but sometimes my schedule dictates drains more than the actual mileage. During this interval this engine saw my usual 110 mile a day commute mixed in with short 2 mile trips to town. Garage use was...

    Looking for GC in Rochester, NY area

    I have decided after much deliberation that GC is the winter oil I am going to use in my vehicles this year. I just can't resist it's cold start and 100°C specs. I have a problem though, I've been to three autozones (Henrietta, Geneseo, Wellsville) in the last two days and I can't find it. These...

    AW4 Tranny Filter (Screen), Brass vs. Stainless

    My '01 Cherokee is nearing 50k miles, and I doubt the tranny has every been serviced. The fluid looks and smells great and it drives perfectly. I checked the level and then put 6oz of Auto-Rx in it yesterday. The dealer wants $67 for a new filter. My local Napa offers a brass screened version...

    Mopar HOAT

    Regarding my '01 Cherokee, 4.0, auto trans, 39k miles. The coolant doesn't look that great, probably factory, but I usually at least drain and refill every year, so my standards are pretty tough. I want to flush and fill and the owners manual recommends Mopar HOAT. The coolant in the vehicle is...

    Synthetic for '01 Cherokee

    I am contemplating oil choices for my "new" '01 Cherokee with the 4.0. I have done quite a bit of reading here and it seems the UOAs are a little better for an xw-40 vs. an xw-30. I am an Amsoil user and I was just getting ready to dump some 10w-30 ATM in there with an SDF15, but now I am having...

    Will 75w-140 quiet bad bearings in a rear end?

    I bought an '01 Cherokee Sport recently. It has the 4.0, 4WD, and a 4 speed automatic. 38k miles. It has about 2k miles left of the 4k mile NY lemon law warranty. It has been making a loud noise in the rear end at 50-55 MPH at certain throttle settings. I took it to the dealer's shop in a...
