WHAT? They are not "finicky" on the fluid used, just like any TC follow spec and you will be fine. People try to make these units out to be something mysterious and strange when they are actually simpler than the part time units are. The quickest and most positive way to tell if your VC...

what BRAND O2 sensor is it? this actually may be the answer you seek... Bosh sensors are notorious for creating issues... and they are the mfg of most if not all "house brand" sensors. Stick with NGK/NTK for reliability

the only problem here is tightening the other lugs distributes pressure equally to all the lugs. instead, LOOSTEN them all the way, except for the one you need to remove, and jack the vehicle up at that wheel, this will allow the wheel to tip IN at this lug removing MORE pressure than you will...

I had a monkey at the tire joint use an impact driver put the lock on the wheels of my ford. he over tightened it and split it breaking the top off it, I drove an impact socket onto it removed all the other lugnuts and lifted that corner of the car to get all the tension off the lug had the...

I'm not familiar with the quadra drive, but am intimately familiar with the Quadra trac. First answer is IF you have been putting it in neutral to tow, the answer is no. Look instead at your steering... the Constant velocity joints make this kind of noise when they go bad. If they are the ball...

On the Tcase, once you identify it, you will be able to order a rebuild kit for it. seals bearings and so forth, it would probably be worth it to order a chain right away as well, since they stretch over time and miles and you will have it apart anyway.

First I don't trust ANY O'Reilly electrical parts, from repeated bad experiences, such as sub par connector sizes. On the PCM, it could be a major issue, the big question is did they exercise and fully test it before reprogramming it? IF they didn't, reprogramming it doesn't mean a thing...

A proper sized stabilizer is a must, But here is a bit of advice on them. Find an decent flat and smooth blacktop or concrete parking lot and disconnect the stabilizer and test the vehicle out. Without the bumps, crown in the road, tar in the joints between slabs and other items that cause...

make sure you ASK the person you are buying from. there are multiple setups that use dual stick transfer cases, some are simply gimmicks that look neat, to others that are heavy duty and hard core, like the Atlas Tcase... Ive even seen some dual stick setups where the second stick operated...

I've done a lot of repairs and mods over the decades, and am more than willing to share my experience with everyone. But the two things that sucked the most was the era I did them in and the lack of technology that it had. The Internet wasn't and digital photography didn't... I enjoy Jeepz.com...

Thanks for posting the info... excellent write up concise and good photos... will be very helpful when I put it in the GC...

reply to old thread: O2 sensors in Jeeps don't just create a voltage (thermocouple) they are also heated so that they set a reference point for the PCM to start at. This speeds up the time frame in which the system can get accurate readings, since it doesn't have to wait for the exhaust stream...

Timing chains most often go bad when the vehicle is shut down or at stall. The jeep design has a tensioner in the cover that quiets it down and prevents excessive noise. Another point of information to correct a false idea that is floating around about Jeep timing sets, is the factory and...

without knowing what the exact cause is you are just fixing temporary symptoms not the actual problem, codes are vital

jfrabat off topic question on an old thread: Where can I find info on installing a Taurus Efan and what is needed to do it. I have the fan laying around, and have a failing clutch in the mechanical fan in one of my 98 Grand Cherokees w/ 4.0

not enough information supplied, what did you do that caused it to do this, is it weather specific. is there a CEL on? nore information is needed since the jeep is not here where we can look at it.

It sounds to me that crud has broke loose and plugged your hydraulic lifters. My first thought was a bad oil filter, but you stated more than one oil change. I'd replace the lifters, its a pita but it sounds necessary at this point, or you will be chasing a problem for quite a while. If these...

the 10w/30 is used in MANUAL transmissions in EXTREMELY COLD CLIMATES where regular gear lubes wouldn't work due to being to thick from the cold, Other than Alaska, I wouldn't use it in the US, since it thins out too much when heated, and gear lubes function due to extremely high viscosity...

an FYI Timken and Moog are the two top US vehicle manufacturer bearing suppliers.

first have your fuel pressure tested, I don't agree with the mopar parts, high performance parts work fine cheap OEM parts DONT. Your O2 sensor voltage is a bit low. if those are parts store variety or Bosh dump them and put in NTK (NGK manufactured) This brand is cheaper and far superior...
