    Hmm.. Well... Readjusted the belt. Checked all my pulleys, they seem smooth and don't have any play.. I tightened the belt a bit more and drove it around.. I did spray some lube on the A/C...

    Do you ever run your A/C? I also read that it could be the harmonic balancer.. Which I guess is called something else on the 4.0.

    Re: XJ squeak...

    Maybe front pinion seal? That wasn't blown or anything though, I find it odd that it went away when I put it in 4WD and didn't come back when I went back to 2WD... Jeeps man... WTH?

    Re: XJ squeak...

    It sounds very amplified for lack of a better term like it's coming from the engine bay, not from under the vehicle.

    That's clever. No manual hubs, driveshaft is spinning in 2WD. Squeak does not happen when reving in neutral/park.

    Re: XJ squeak...

    Definitely sounds rotational.. I know the front hubs are good. No clinking or clunking at all. Turning makes no difference. I guess I'm suspecting the alternator or the water pump at this point. ...

    I'll add that it doesn't get worse with speed. It's always the same consistent sound.. Forward or reverse. Haven't tried putting it into 4WD to see if that makes a difference..
