do you mean the guages don't work at all or they just don't light up? if they don't light up it could be tha headlight switch, particularly the brightness adjuster(rheostat). good luck, john

i don't see how switching to an electric fuel pump would have any effect on the choke system. also you will need a fuel pressure regulator for the electric fuel pump to maintain 5 psi with the stock carter bbd carburetor. i would have to say that i dont recommend the electric fuel pump because...

does this thud happen while the clutch pedal is depressed or as you let it out? the center of the clutch friction disc has a shock absorbing assembly that consists of four springs in a circle around the center hub and if some of these springs are broken it can make a noise, but not usually...

does the noise occur when the vehicle is stationary or moving? if it's moving lets hope it's a bad u-joint. if it's stationary it might be an internal problem with the transmission. thanks, john

on my '05 you have to pull the lever all the way up and then move it towards the driver's side to lock it in. not trying to be smart, but thats what i would try. good luck, john

i've done it that way before, but the whole power train is real heavy for most hoists/cherry pickers. and its hard to get the thing balanced properly so it ends up hanging at a steep angle and falling over and breaking things. i can't say that i would recommend it, but it is possible. good...

it is not recommended to install oversize tires on the stock axle housings that came on the 4 cyl. jeep, dana 35 on the back and dana 30 on the front i think, because the extra torque from the big tires can break an axle pretty easily. the conventional wisdom is that one needs to change to dana...

i would rebuild the entire clutch system at this time if you haven't already, as long as the engine is removed. at least put in a new throw-out bearing because when i reused the old one it seems like the dang thing always went out very soon after the job was "done". also i would start with the...

sounds to me like your combination valve my be malfunctioning. most modern cars with front disc/rear drum dual circuit brake systems have one valve body that has three functions: the proportioning valve you mentioned, the DELAY VALVE which prevents the front disc brakes from grabbing before the...

normally when you push in the clutch and the noise stops it is a sure sign that the throw-out bearing is bad. but you say that you replaced this part. puzzling! the next most likely culprits are the rear main bearing on the countershaft and next the bearing on the input shaft, both of which turn...

when you turn an idle mixture screw all the way in and the engine doesn't die or just barely keeps running, it is a sure sign that the float is sunk and raw fuel is pouring over the top of the fuel bowl and running down into the engine.the sucking noise could be a vacuum leak.the whirring noise...

sounds like a vacuum leak to me.grab the carburetor and twist and wiggle it to see if it is loose from the manifold. also there should be a short piece of rubber hose at both ends of the steel tube that connects the vacuum modulator on the transmission to manifold vacuum on the engine which...

are the headlights flickering and is the ammeter fluctuating? the delcotron alternator,if that's what you have on your vehicle, depends on SENSING VOLTAGE and any kind of a short anywhere on the system can lower the system voltage which results in the alternator maintaining voltage at about 1...

when the vehicle sits out in the rain with no top on,rainwater can get into the steering column and dashboard and could be causing shorts in the headlight or hi-beam or other switches. i would try blowing them out with compressed air first. electrical problems are a specialty all to themselves...

12 volts on both sides of the coil? only some european cars, that i know of, operate on 12 volts at the coil. there should be either a resistance wire or a ballast resistor between the coil pos terminal and 12volt power, because full battery voltage will burn out the coil fairly quickly. also, i...

step one: a close visual inspection of the engine compartment. especially look for broken wires, spark plug wires that are hard and cracked, anything that doesn't look right. step two: COMPRESSION TEST. there is no point in doing any further work on an engine with bad compression. 175psi is...

my humble opinion, as a mechanic who has been working o n jeeps for many years, chevy conversions included, is that you have a whole lot of work ahead of you on this project. i can see it going on for years. also, if you choose to put it back to the stock engine, the 350 conversion may have...

i'd like to thank everyone, especially steelheadz, for their help with my problem. i got the tsb from eautorepair.net for 13.00, and it turns out to be an easy wiring fix for 05&06 wranglers 2.4 & 4.0. if anyone else needs this tsb let me know. thank you, john

i have a code scanner. when one of the monitors is flashing it means that the system is not able to test that particular component, therefore it hasn't got to the point of setting a trouble code in the computer. what i'm wondering is if anyone knows the reason why the test is not being run. on...

does anyone know why the OH monitor is flashing on the obdii of my 05 wrangler tj with the 2.4 4 cylinder. it has been like that for thousands of miles. i recently changed both O2 sensors to no avail. thank you
