depends what you are stuck in. we dont use straps in the mud as none of them have enoght stretch and the pull truck needed to get a running start as they have very little traction to start with. i have a 3" 60 foot rope that works great for snatching as it stretchs at least 10 feet so its a...

bad ground on the rear lights some times the ground is connected to the body near the rear lights

any way work as long as you dont use made in china easy outs. best ive found is napa square easyouts as they dont snap. a broken easy out is the worst thing to try drilling out and normally ends up with a left handed diamond drill bit for 50 plus bucks. as for welding i wouldnt try that with out...

let it sit then undo the oil drain plug. water likes to settle at the bottom of the pan. let out a few tablespoons (dont pull the oil plug all the way out) if the oil is cream looking then its lots of water and you have a problem. if the oil looks good steal a tea spoon from the wife. heat the...

ive played with turbos on 4 cyclinder road cars as they are common in europe. the turbo has some good points like 1/ doesnt require hp to drive it and it can reduce the noise level to a point where you can upgrade the mufflers with out getting a headache. 2/ lag is based on how much boost at...

i get a problem like this if i have been in deep water the day before. the clutch disk gets stuck to the fly wheel. i start it in gear with foot on clutch then tap brakes a few times to break the disk free then the clutch is fine. this might not be the same problem you are having but just a thought

i was always told the primer before the putty as the primer protects the metal and the putty sticks better

any chance the wire harness is being nipped or near something hot. the scanner can only tell that theres a problem not where the problem is. my brother-in-law had 3 single point injectors changed on his car before he quit and gave it to me (threw keys and said keep the pile of it). i looked and...

pulling transmission and transfer case seems to be the way to replace a clutch but that realy depends on the equipment you own. the trans assembly is off balance so its a pain to line up unless you have a smooth surface and a trans jack. on 2 wheel drives its better balanced side to side so alot...

belt tension can be done with a straight edge and a fishing scale. put scale hook on belt and add 20lbs of force the belt should deflect 1". take a picture of the belt if it breaks and post it and we can tell you whats causing the problem. look for shinny spots on the inside of the belt you...

coils will break and i know that from experiance. i would go new unless the used ones were cheaper. either will be better than the blocks you have.

dont let the dealers scam you into additional work. a recall is to fix a problem that has been found after production. my wifes suzuki has had about 6 recalls since new (told her it was junk) i have never agreed to have any service done other than the recall so no charge. a nissan i owned a few...

fog lights are only used on low beam (normally lower than bumper there is a legal max height). spot lights are only used on high beam. fogs are normally wide beam and are designed to light the road with out blinding on-comming traffic and with out causing reflected light off the fog blinding...

on this would it be possiable to make it a v-6 and just get rid of that section or do i really need that combustion there to move the crank shaft? if you was stuck in the woods taking gun fire on a fire truck....could you remove the rods and pistons from the front 2 and rear 2 pistons to make a...

white smoke on a cold start wouldnt worry me to much as the engine is running rich. grey smoke might be a indicator of a worn valve guide seal where oil has got into the piston chamber. if it clears after 20 seconds then it carnt be to bad. to help the heater i would install a winter...

if its real cold try when its warmer. bump the door like surgested in the hope the catch jogs free. try to get some wd40 to it. so no idea realy how you can open the door if it wont unlock....sry mate

manual has the switch contacts mounted on the steering next to the key. jeep sites have the replacement switch at $36 accessed by removing the steering cowling. wiring diagram shows that the switch has 2 sets of contacts one for engine and one for aux like wipers etc. so im confussed but oh well...

good point...are the front brake disks? my thought was that the brake slave cylinders were being pulled in by the brake shoe springs so the master cylinder didnt have enoght oil to push the shoes all the way out. by adjusting the brakes shoes as close to the drum as possible there should be...

see if this helps: there should be a tapered bolt located at the bottom of the brake drum (im guessing thats the way your jeep is but i have seen other designs). jack one rear wheel up at a time the turn by hand and tighten bolt until brakes grab then back of bolt 1/2 turn. do this to both rear...

i agree that the connection plug could be the problem but i was refering to the contacts in the back of the key switch. this is a real intresting problem. if its moisture thats freezing then the contacts in the ignition switch seems to be viable as a wet key might have got water into the back of...
