I have also used a soup can with clamps for a temporary fix. Years ago, i used a muffler repair kit that had some kind of fiberglass tape that melted when the exhaust pipe got hot and sealed it. It worked pretty good for awhile. I don't know if is still sold, but you might ask. Good luck...

I have a 1993 Jeep Wrangler and have a similer problem with a small leak dripping in when it rains. That small leak however seems to grow to about an inch of water if I don't keep the drain plug out. And yes, I have removed the carpeting to keep the rust down. I have cleaned out the cowl...

Did you find out where the rain is comming in? I have a 1993 Jeep Wrangler and it leaks whenever it rains. I took out my front carpet and after sanding the rust on the floor board, sprayed it with a can of "rino lining" generic stuff I got at Wal-mart. I only did the driver's side since that...

If you haven't replaced the spark plug wires, you should test them for continunity and resistance. Use an ohm meter to make sure. Then double check your manual for the correct #1 cylinder on the diagram and trace it back to insure that it is pluged into the #1 terminal on the destributor cap...

If you are still having problems with the smoke smell. Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and spray everything down and let sit for a day with the doors and windows closed. The vinegar will nutralize the smoke. Air out by taking the doors and top off and driving down the interstate

Tom Selleck occasionally drove a red Wranger on Magnum PI. Elvis drove a white one on Blue Hawaii. Any old War series, such as "Combat", "McHale's Navy", "Gomer Pyle", "The Rat Patrol", M.A.S.H, etc

I have a stock 1993 Jeep Wrangler and currently am towing a 11' Box popup camper. I am considering purchasing a travel trailer (19'-23") in the near future, but have no idea what the length limit or GVWR would be for my Jeep to pull it. Any suggestions? Captaintek

Good Luck Greencuke, and thank you for your service to our country. Watch out for all of those tanks out there and keep the rubber side down when driving your Jeep. Captaintek

I am in need of an ashtray for my 1993 Wrangler. I had been using it to store change, but some low-life dirtbag stole it when I had it parked at the local community college. It was bad enough that he took my change (maybe all of two dollars), but he took the ashtray as well. It is not a big...

I agree with LVRockCrawler. It is most likely that your throwout bearing is causing the squeeling noise. The grease has probably dried up and you will need to replace it. It happened to me on the way to Fort McCoy Wisconsin with the Ill National Guard in a 1973 Datsun pickup. It ran fine all...

I have a problem with my 93 Wrangler leaking when it rains. No, my soft top does not leak. The water is coming in somewhere under the dash. It is not a large leak, but now I have noticed rust forming just forward of the door on the bottom of the body and I keep a sponge in the cab to bail out...

Not having a gas cap can cause the check engine light to light up as well as just "topping off" when you fill up. I have had to have mine cleared out a couple of times, so I never "top off" any more as well as make sure I hear three clicks when I put the cap back on. Most new car's fuel...

I have a 1993 Jeep Wranger with a soft top. When I drive over 50 on the highway, the tops of both doors flair out about 1/2 to 1 inch. During the winter in Illinois, it makes it rather cold while driving on the highway. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I know the best solution...

I got some Penzoil Synchromesh from Autozone, but I still wonder how to flush out the shavings that are in the transmission. I was wondering if changing it a couple of times with a lighter weight oil, such as automatic transmission fluid would get the shavings out and then fill with the...

Do I need to drain the transfer case along with the transmission? If they are connected, I think they both would have to be drained and refilled. I have not had any trouble with the transfer case so far. Would it hurt to flush transmission with a 10W-30 motor oil before replacing it with...
