At about 1 am yesterday morning I drove it about 1 mile from a bar to our cottage. During this drive it was making knocking noises. After about 2 hours (~3 am) I left the property and drove about 40 yards when it died on me in the middle of the road. It was fairly cold outside (approx 1-2 degrees F) and immediately before the jeep died I was revving the engine pretty high for a cold start. (4-5,000 rpm)

Now the jeep doesn't start, although it looks as though the main belt wheel (not sure what it is called--it comes out of the main engine housing) attempts to turn but doesn't make it more than an inch.

Any thoughts what might be the problem?

btw, I changed the oil about 1,500 miles ago and the oil level looked ok.

Keep in mind that XJ's redline at 5200

I didn't understand what he saying, was he saying that threw a rod? what a dumb@ss!

I love where he says, "I was revving the engine pretty high for a cold start. (4-5,000 rpm)"
