Replacement Keyfob

I recently lost one of my keys. Wondering where I can buy the 4 button key fob with transponder.

I asked at the dealership they want $240 cad to replace it with coding, I'm hoping to spend about half that.

high oil pressure gauge

Mostly in the morning and sometime throughout the day I see the oil gauge jump to 80 (that's all the way up on my 2000 jeep wrangler v6).



It has been doing this for the last 300 miles. It has been 2000 miles since I rebuilt the engine and ~600 since I fixed the Pcv breather stuffs).



Any ideas?

Need help with front oil seal!

Just curious, i have started my rebuild(complete) and im going to put the timing cover back on. No on the Front oil Seal that goes on the crank and balancer, Which way do i put it in? open end towards the motor, or open end toawrds the inside of the timing cover/facing balancer?





Thanks!

(Tech Help) Just went to pick up my first WJ and the throttle stuck

Hello everyone my name is Kris,

I'm trying to transition from XJ to WJ.



Anyhow I have been trying to find a WJ for a while, I found one took it for a test drive and all was fine. Even took it to get it smogged.



2002 WJ Limited 4.7 H.O Quadradrive with pretty much every option except the bigger springs

285,000 miles on it



Today I went to buy it from the owner. 15 minutes down the road I went to pass a car, ( 40-45mph street) I got on it a lil bit then let off, it seemed like the throttle took a few seconds before it let off. Then another mile down the road I got on it a lil bit again to catch up to the car I was following, and it felt like the cruise control was stuck on. I hit the brakes but the engine was over powering them. I checked and cruise control was not on. There was a stop light quickly approaching so in a panic I had to pop it in neutral, hit the e brake, shut off the engine, and slam it into park to prevent hitting anyone.

I turned on my flasher and caught my breath. Tried to restart it and My throttle was stuck wide open, it raced to redline so I shut it off. tried this several times with the same result. To get out of the street I started it, slammed it in gear then alternating neutral/ drive, rode the brakes and ebrake to a parking spot. I checked the pedal it wasn't stuck, there was no floor mat to get in the way. I checked the throttle cable on the throttle body, it didn't seem to be stuck. Then after a lil while I started it and the throttle was no longer stuck. I drove it to the house I bought it and got my money back. He is going to take it to a dealer to get checked out.



Does anyone have any insight on what may have caused this?

My daughter was with me and my heart is still racing a bit.

We really liked the Jeep except for the racing out of control part.

Need help selecting 2" coil springs

'03 TJ, stock bumpers, no winch; currently running 2" budget boost from PO, already upgraded to Rancho RS9000XLs. Looking to install dedicated 2" springs. Need recommendations. Running 31" BFG A/Ts; no plans for heavy duty accessories or larger tires.



Really only aware of the OME 2" springs, but not sure if I need regular or HD, or if other brand would yield better results?



Thanks in advance!

Lawrence area

Hey Guys,



Anybody in the Lawrence area looking to off-road? I have two wranglers but have never been, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I don't know much about what you need etc, but if you are in the area and want to off-froad let me know.

Towing Capacity 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with V8 Hemi 4x4

I need some advice on towing trailers. My tow capacity according to the book says 7200lbs and tongue 720lbs. I hear the tongue weight doesnt matter if you get a sway bar to distribute the weight, but the towing shouldnt be over or I will ruin the transmission.

A trailer dealer told me that I could increase my tow capacity by adding a lower gear ratio.....what does that mean and how can I do that and will I ruin my transmission/engine?

Most of the trailers I want to tow are dry weights of about 6500lbs then add another 1K for stuff in the camper and I am over the weight limit! This is frustrating especially when i am looking at the xtra lite trailers. Anyhow, can someone please help me that has been through this issue? I would appreciate the advice. BTW, trading in is not an option since its a leased vehicle.

Front End Knock

I have an 89 YJ that has a knock on the drivers side while driving. When taking a right hand curve noise goes away. Any help would be great!



Wheel bearing?

Transfer Case?



Thanks

small front stretch CJ7 anyone?

I wanting 35's here soon. And I'm thinking stretching the front 2"s would be a nice addition. Just have the stock dana30/amc20 now. Probably will ditch the 30 in favor of a 44. Anyone here done a small front stretch? I've read about using YJ or waggy Springs. I'm looking to stay spring under. I might move the back an inch as well. Though i know that's gonna require some cutting... :/



Currently have 2.5" suspension, 1/2" shackle. Probably will do a 1" body lift soon.

Transmission cooling line routing question.

Hello All,



I recently decided it would be a good idea to replace my leaking radiator myself, after lots of cuss words, broken knuckles and broken metal transmission lines, and 2 hours of my life I'll never get back.. it came out.. Now, I went ahead and bought new lines (pictured)







But, I can't for the life of me figure out which rubber hose to plug the top vs bottom in. Does it matter? Thanks!

this is what angry eyes led to

Vibration, Front Driveshaft?

2000 Limited, 124K with QD, getting some vibes up front and thinking it may be the front drive shaft. I'm going to remove it this weekend and see if it that is the problem. But, if I need to rebuild this thing, what parts am I looking at? I rebuilt my front DS on my '01 TJ, but that had u joints. The WJ has more of CV joint type DS and I'm not familiar with it.

Strut Spacer - Help PLEASE?

So I orderd a set of strut spacers from the States, and installed it yesterday. Problem I am having now is that the ball joint on the upper control arm are touching the coil spring as the suspension drop down. If you jack up the front end you can see the ball joint pushing against the coil spring. Except for a loud bad noise it also damages the rubber on the ball joint. Normaly the grinder would be the first thing in my hands but in this case there is nothing you can cut away.

Door lock refurbish

I bought a set of doors from Craigslist the other day. They weren't in the best condition (but it's OK because they're going to get repainted). However, the locks were in super bad condition, the steel had been chipped and was pretty corroded. I just removed everything from the door pannels, so I decided to try to clean up the locks.



I'm just a college student in my dorm room, and it's like midnight. But I had some 600grit sand paper so I started trying to sand down the locks a bit. Then I realized I could probably attach the locks to my drill... I ended up using WD-40 as a lube while sanding, and then I used some dremmel polish (the little red bricks that come with dremmels) to finish it up. Here's some photos of the process and the end result. It's not perfect (there's a dent on the passanger lock that's still visible), and I'm sure it would look even better if I went higher than 600grit (but like I sait, it's all I had). In the end, it's better than I was expecting, and for it not costing my anything, I'm very happy.



All I have left to do is replace the tumblers, which doesn't seem too difficult.



The condition of the locks before hand.



The lock in the drill's chuck.



Here's a comparison with the first one done.



The Dremmel polish applied to the lock.

I Got To See Some Nice Scenery Today

I got to experience some Forrest Service roads here in Washington today. There was some really pretty scenery and rivers I passed by on my way out to the equipment.



My location, http://ift.tt/1Ewjykx*



I think the guys at the car rental place are going to be a little ticked at me when I bring the truck back. The pic doesn't show just how much I covered it. I had to go about 12 miles into the forest to get to the logging operation. Kinda hard to snap pictures while driving. It was a very well maintained road but there was a couple hils I did have to put into 4x4 because the rear wheels would spin in the gravel. I would love to be able to ride and explore a lot more up here with my Jeep but I have to fly home Friday.

Gas tank shield

Apologies if this has been asked before . . . I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo that hubby and I bought in late 2013. This has been fantastic for winter driving (WI), but the rust underneath is particularly bad on the gas tank shield -- I am told this is NOT a skid plate -- and tonight a big chunk was dragging along by a thread until I pulled it off. I have never been able to find anything more than a diagram of this on the 'net and am afraid that one from a junk yard would also be rusted out. Does anyone know where I might purchase one new or at least in fairly decent shape? On that note. hubby says just get some new straps, that this is all most vehicles have for the gas tank. Is that true? Seems weird that it would be so exposed. Anyway, if someone has an answer or can point me in the right direction, your advice would be much appreciated :)

Charging Problem

I have a 99 XJ with a 4.0 it's my daily driver. We recently had a lot of ice and much colder than usual temps. Was leaving store and "check guages light" was on. Volt guage was bottomed out. Drove it 15 minutes home. Turned it off back on and all was fine. Checked voltage at battery with engine on 14.4 engine off 12.8 (I think. I kept driving and then it seemed like every time I hit large amount of water gauge would bottom out then return to 14. Today problem persisted and stayed on 9 for 40 minute drive home with very dim lights. left in drive way for a hour then everything was fine. Sorry for the long post just not sure if this is alternator, belt, tensioner, bad pulley. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated.

Any Thoughts on This Bumper?

Anybody have thoughts on this bumper? It doesn't look like it was designed for a ZJ. Looks possibly homemade/modified and maybe even like a rear bumper.



Not so sleek looking but seems beefy and I really would like an ORB, as I'm going to get into off roading with my Niner now that I have a second vehicle. I'm thinking I could maybe even mount a winch on the trailer hitch looking spot.



I'm considering buying the Jeep and swapping the ORB and lights onto mine then maybe reselling.



Anybody have thoughts? (Sorry the pic is so fuzzy)

Question for admins and just general introduction from an MJ owner.

Hello all. I've been on this forum for quite a few years but never used it really because I have an MJ and I stick to Comancheclub because of that. But I'm an avid Comancheclub member with a 89 Pioneer with a 4.0/BA10/4×4 and shortbed. My MJ is my favorite thing in the world, wouldn't trade anything for it. But recently I have started buying bulk orders of the ORings for the Renix oil filter adapter and reselling them because I was having A LOT of trouble finding the orings for myself (the dealer wanted $30 for them) and I wanted to help other Renix owners find the O rings easily and much cheaper than having to search auto parts stores or pay out the butt at the dealer. I was going to post a classifieds for it but couldn't for some reason. Is this because I haven't been an active member on this forum enough? Just wondering and also wanted to introduce myself. Cheers :tea:

Turn the key I get power, but intermittently won't turn over / crank

I am trying to track down a starting problem (which is always soo much fun).



This has been happening intermittently, I will turn the key, all the dash lights turn on, but when I turn to the crank position nothing happens (dash lights dim like normal for crank position). Sometimes turning it off then back on again will get it to work, or sometimes keeping the key turned in the crank position for 10 seconds will get it to trun over.



The battery is less then a year old and I had it checked (and passed), I replaced the starter, in an attempt to fix the issue, but apparently it didn't fix the issue.



If anyone has some idea's before I drop more money randomly into ignition parts, I would appreciate some incite.

STRIPPED headlight adjustment screws [PLEASE HELP!]

Well I recently have put in some new housings and they are aimed horribly shining up in the sky and to the left. I have a 2 hour drive tonight and I desperately need to adjust these headlights. Does anyone have any advice on where I can get the 2 adjustment screws for each side? Do they come right out or what? They are crappy little star screwdriver bit type screws and they suck!



Can I just remove these without any problems and take them to the hardware store or should I avoid attempting to fully remove them using vice grips?

Does anyone have any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?

wish me luck

With a little luck I can be back on the trails for under $100. This 95 yj Rio grande has been through it, as much as 33's will allow anyway. This is really the first breakdown in the woods and I was still able to drive it out to a safe place.

What happened was, I was dogging it in 3rd gear low range making my way up this hill that had no tracks out the top yet. There was a foot of snow and it had melted and refroze and was down to about 6 inches. I lost a little momentum as I was reaching the top, that's when wheel hop came into play. I was letting out of it to reduce this wheel hop but I didn't want to spin out and have to back of this slick hill that has a pretty good drop on the right hand side. So it was the wheel hop the caused the rear universal to fail. I felt it break and shut the engine off before the smoke from the transfer oil had time to bellow out. When I looked under it my heart sank. I saw the rear housing extension laying on the ground. At the time I didn't know it unbolted and thought I had busted the transfer case housing.



So like I say , with a little luck I didn't bend the main shaft of the transfer and I didn't spread the yoke on the rear end.

interio heater/AC fan stopped working

I still feel warm air but the fan the drives the heater/ac is not working. Is this a bad fan motor or a fuse issue?

How would you fix this Ujoint oops?

So while Changing the ujoint on my passenger side axle, I got a bit carried away with my impact. Using a ball joint press and an impact (because this thing was really stuck), I managed to drive clip up against the stub shaft ear tightly and literally blew off a quarter sized portion of the cap. I was able to get the other side cap/clip off just fine but now I'm left with half a broke cap in the ear and the clip wedged tightly up against the ear. I assume what I need to do is drink more beer, let my pb blaster soak in good, then hammer it back in slightly with a socket (or something else) so that I can remove that stuck clip. But because the top of the cap blew off, it left an uneven surface to hammer on. This is my first u joint repair, Newb mistake. I'm an idiot lol, any advice?

interio heater/AC fan stopped working

I still feel warm air but the fan the drives the heater/ac is not working. Is this a bad fan motor or a fuse issue?

no idea WTF this is...

i've been having some chronic electrical problems with my '97, mostly related to speedometer function. have had the ECM replaced, and a couple of sensors. anyway, i'm driving home this afternoon, the check engine light comes on, and a minute later, the car acts like i just put the shifter into neutral... press the gas, engine revs, but no "go". i pull over on the shoulder, shut the pig off, let it sit about 10 seconds, restart it, and everything is okay again, except the check engine light is still on. this was the second time this happened, exactly the same way. after the first occurrence, i took it in, but apparently there were no stored codes, so the guy at the shop couldn't tell me what the check engine light came on for. i don't think this is a transmission problem, otherwise it wouldn't return to normal after i shut it off and re-start it... anyone got any ideas what the heck this could be? are ZJs of this vintage prone to chronic electrical problems, or did i just get a crappy one? my '93 never gave me any trouble at all...

2014 Unlimited Sound System

I just recently took the leap and purchased a 2014 wrangler unlimited Rubicon with the premium sound package. As I have read, I am also not impressed at all with the sound. Distorts at high volume and has very little bass for having a woofer. I have the uconnect 420n/rhb head unit and the woofer in the back. I test drove a 2015 and Wow the sound was 10x better. I was wondering if anyone has been successful in dramatically overhauling the sound system in the 2014 while keeping the stock head unit. I imagine it would take all new speakers, a new woofer, and an amp or two, but if anyone has specifics that really improved their sound that would be greatly appreciated.

Gearing question

Probably a dumb question, but when comparing speeds and gearing at 70mph, is this in 4th gear or 5th (OD) Most charts I've seen show rpm at 70mph, but don't specify which trans or other possible variant.



I have 3.07's and a 5 speed nv3550 with stock looking tires (225/75/15) and run 2000rpm at 70mph in 5th gear and about 2600rpm in 4th at 70mph and it doesn't match any gear charts I've found.



Planning an 8.8 swap with 4.10's and trying to compare tire sizes and rpm ranges to see which will be most similar to what I currently have. Truth be told I would actually like to be at a little higher rpm at 70mph, my 5th gear is pretty weak unless I'm going faster than I want or need.

98 Sahara Stumbling, poor fuel economy.

Hello,

I have a 1998 Wrangler Sahara and going on for several years now I have had issues with the engine stumbling. Not when its dead cold, and not while totally hot. I'd see the problem more when it had been warmed up and sat for 15 or 20 minutes or so and cooled down a little. Lately however, it has progressed to having these issues when the engine is really cold. If I leave the house and begin driving up the road, the engine loses power and shakes. It can do so in any gear, and if I rev it in neutral it usually clears it out for 10 seconds or so before doing it again. Sometimes, if I'm stopped at a light and idling, it will stumble, probably misfiring. It dies down to around 500 rpm, and the computer saves it repeatedly, revving it back up. Once the engine is hot, it runs fine, but I get about 15mpg I think, when i should be getting 18-20. I wonder if its running too rich. About a year ago, I had to install a new exhaust manifold (it had cracked, bought one from Advance) and had to have the catalytic converter replaced. A week ago, I ran Lucus deep clean through the fuel tank, and today I installed a new air filter and installed new spark plugs all around. The problem still persists. Its a 1998 Wrangler Sahara 4.0L with the standard 5 speed manual, just 10k short of 200,000 miles. to my knowledge everything is factory equipment. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Crashed my 05 4.7...Upgrade to Hemi or no?

So last friday i slid off the road due to some snowy conditions and poor tires here in NW colorado, the Jeep suffered only cosmetic damages however the repair estimates are around 7700$. It is all covered by insurance fortunatley, and they have informed me that they may consider it totaled. It is incredibly sad, but it provides me with the opportunity to get the 5.7 Hemi and start new. I was getting 11mpg in my 4.7 a friend with a lifted 3.7 was getting about the same, so MPgs aren't a huge issue. But mechanically speaking has anyone found the Hemi to be superior to the 4.7? just opinions on what i should do with the insurance compensation, and how the Hemi favors to those who have had it.

Thanks, Art.

TJ range

Whenever I run my jeep down to the empty (according to my gas gauge) I have never been able to but more than about 16 gallons in my tank. Supposedly my 2001 has a 19 gallon tank.



I am planning to more "overland" trail rides and range is a concern. I can carry extra fuel with me but storage is limited with a TJ.



If I want to run my TJ until it is truly empty could this cause any damage?

Favorite Mod with a twist

Good Evening/Morning Gents,



Here is an interesting Mod thread. I have read many related threads but I have a challenge for you! I am getting pumped for spring to come so I can work on my jeep every free moment I get. I challenge you to come up with your absolute favorite mod for your rig with a price limit of $100. I want to see what you guys have done to your rig with a cheap budget. I have seen some pretty cool **** people make at home cheap and I want to see all of your awesome yet subtle modifications! Post Pics if you want, I would love to see them! I will start! I unfortunately do not have a picture on me at the moment, however I bought a $6 can of Krylon Plastic's black spray paint and refinished everything from my fender flares to bumpers and it made them look BRAND NEW. If your flares or anything look real worn this is such a cheap way to refinish them I highly recommend it! :cheers2:

alt light + eps light + no manual downshift

Hello, i am looking for suggestion as to what to check.

I have a 2008 Patriot, 2.4L, automatic, 100,000 miles.

The alternator light came on, then I noticed the eps light was on, it won't go out, no matter what i do. And i see my rig wont downshift manually any more, When i slow down at a traffic light i can hear an unfriendly growling noise coming from somewhere up front.

It is hesitant off the start, i am not sure if it is not downshifting automatically, possibly.

I looked at the battery, and alternator(what i could see), belt is ok. The signals seem normal speed, it was -20, and late at night, so i am waiting for daylight. Just wondering if anyone had all these symptoms before, thanks.

Tires?

so just bought new lift so my budget is kinda tight and found 2 sets of tires I'm interested in but can't find nothing on them. It's between the Mud claw which has multiple makers. Or the kenda klever m/t. Both adgressive and look nice. Anybody know how long they last and how great they are?

4.7 v8 y pipe with catalytic converter help?!?

Are all y pipes with mini catalytic converters interchangeable on 4.7 v8..

I have a p0420 code. I ordered a used set of a y pipe with both cats online. After looking at it, the assembly is shaped differently than the ones on my 2004. Even though the y pipe is a different shape will it still fit? I don't want to remove the old one just to find out the "new" ones won't fit.

WARNING When buying a used Cherokee

When you buy a Cherokee, make sure you inspect the coolant. People are filling their Jeeps with stop leak to cover cracked heads/head gaskets. This will run you anywhere from $400-$1,500 if one of both are bad. It will mess with your heater core, and just leave a heap load of work for you. The years that typically have cracked heads/head gaskets are 99-01. So look out, don't run into the same situation I did.

Help with clutch master cylinder install

I ran into an issue with fitting my clutch MC to the firewall, but figured that problem out. I now have the right MC, but I don't have any pin on the pedal assembly to hook the piston rod to. I've only found one pic on the net, and it shows a long pin down on the actual clutch leg itself. I have a pin on mine, but its farther up more on the assembly, and would put the piston rod at a pretty extreme angle. It also doesn't look like its long enough for the ring on the rod to go around, and have room to get a cotter pin on it. Its also on the pass side of the pedal leg, compared to the drivers side.

The second pic is showing a pin that I do have, but its short, its up high, and its on the drivers side.

headlights stopped working, need help!!!

Alright guys I need some help on this one, I recently bought a 95 xj Cherokee, when I first starting driving it the headlights were working fine with no worries at all. A couple of weeks later I noticed that they were turning themself off, I didn't think too much of it because as soon as I turned the switch off and back on they came back on no worries but the other night they went off and never came back now they don't turn on at all, the car never came with a fuse box cover so I don't have the diagram to change fuses but it might not even be a fuse because they all look good. I wouldn't have a clue at what else it could be.

Has anyone had the same kind of problem in the past or does anyone know how this can be fixed?

TJ Half Doors - What are you using?

I plan to buy some half doors for the summer but don't have any experience with them. I don't need uppers but would prefer a little more than a bare tube door. I will need to run mirrors too.



What are you using? What are the pros and cons?

Is my pulley toast?

So I've been chasing down a whining noise in the engine compartment for several weeks now. It's been too cold to be outside more than a few minutes. What I initially thought was a power steering pump whine turns out to be the big center pulley. The sound/pitch goes up and down with the rpm. Odd thing is I heard it for a few days then absolutely nothing for few days then the noise returned today. Any harm if I run it like this until warmer weather? Any clues?

hello everyone

just wanted to say hello and introduce my self. I just purchased my third jeep yesterday (2015 JKU) so I'm not new to the jeep world. Don't have pics yet but will have some soon. I'm from So cal and part time from Nevada.

Glad to be back in a Jeep. Take care J2G.:tea:

Steering Problems with 6.5"

So I went in for an alignment last week expecting a very simple procedure. I get a call right after dropped it off saying that I had a few issues and that they couldn't align it. They said I need new rod ends as well as a new drag link sleeve. So I'm going to be purchasing some OEM Mopar rod ends. An issue of mine is that there are not enough threads in the drag link. He also said that my drag link was overtorqued, meaning it was crushed. Not sure if I believe the whole crushed part, so is there any way I could check that? Also, with that being said, I think I'm going to get the IRO Equalizer kit, dropping the Pitman arm as well as the trackbar. Does anybody have any recommendations for my case?

Questions for other JK owners

I have searched this a few times and have yet to find anything, possibly because booth of these items have bigger issues (freedom top leaks and early 3.6 ticking).



When I remove my freedom top and hit a moderate bump it makes a racket from bouncing on the sound bar. Does anyone else get this noise? Anyone have tips to resolve it?



Mine is a 2015 with 1500 km, I notice a ever so slight "tick"comming from the engine. The one I test drove last year (2014) had the same ever so slight tick. Is this a typical 3.6 thing? Almost sounds like the manifold leak that the old 4 banger tjs would get (mine included) just very toned down.



Anyways that's all for now.



Cheers,

Brad

rear locker or no locker

I purchased a 2002 jeep TJ from a salvage. The rear axle is a Dana 35C.

when I had it on a lift and rotated one tire forward the opposite also went forward. from my knowledge this has a locker. the tire shop said it does not have a locker. I have 235/75/15 tires on it but the spare is a 225/75/15. If the rear has a locker and I put the spare on and drive on hard pavement will this tear up the diff. the tire shop said I will not have a problem.

Just got jeep yesterday already throwing codes at me.

So i just picked up a 2000, I posted yesterday about it stalling once i pulled into my drive way, since then I have pulled the code it came up with P0108 which is MAS or Barometric pressure high output? I will try to describe what has happened while driving it today, 1/4 tank of gas rough idle, stalls completely while driving while at stop lights so on so forth, restarts just fine can drive 20+ miles be fine or .3 miles and it will stall its totally at random it seems. Ive heard it can be other things but im hoping its simply the MAS any input on this?

2002 Liberty smell of plastic/melting,air conditioner and other problems

Hello guys,



It's been a while since I posted here.

I started experiencing some problems with my 2002 Liberty Sport.

After I drive on the highway for a while and a soon as I get off the highway I can smell a plastic melting or burning of something electrical or melting rubber smell I am not really sure but it's very strong for a while.....Are there any usual suspects with these cars? I pop the hood but I can't really see any smoke or nothing like that....it doesn't do it in city driving...my air conditioner started seizing up a little while ago and I unplugged electrical connector on top of a/c compressor, so I have no air conditioner now, but a/c pulley rotates freely now without seizing up.... can the smell of burning plastic be related to it?

Please see the video of air conditioner problem (no sound there)....

And starting this winter one problem popped up - in the summer I don't use 4x4 but in the winter I use part time only, no problems with it, I never get stuck anywhere, but when the roads melt and surface becomes good again (between snowstorms:)) and I disengage part time (pushing the lever all the way down) at about 10 km/h (5mph) I hear the loud bang about 5-10 seconds later, and it disengages, it doesn't do it when I engage it, only when disengage. Any ideas on that?

AX15 shifting problems

I am completely confused with my transmission. Everything is fine when the engine is still cold. After its been warm for 5-10 minutes, it wont shift into first. I usually notice when I come to a stop sign or a traffic light and put it in neutral and put my foot on the brake. When the light changes, I press the clutch *all the way to the floor* but it will not go into first gear, I physically can't move the shifter into first. What i have found I have to do is put it in reverse at which point it grinds really badly then goes into gear, then I can put it in first.



Sitting at a dead stop when it wont go into first, I can turn it off, easily put it in first, start it with the clutch pressed then take off. From a dead stand still, if I put it in reverse it grinds really badly.



Having very recently changed to Pennzoil Synchromesh, it shifts well in the other gears and never grinds. I replaced the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder and the problem persists. I understand that it is a truck and not a race car and I drive accordingly. When I shift, I depress the clutch pedal completely and I never ride the clutch with my foot. I am completely at a loss as to what the problem is.



Anyone had this problem and any ideas?

Stuck in 4lo

My husband wanted to be funny yesterday and put my Jeep in 4lo to drive through a snow bank. He put it back into 2wd before parking it. I just got in it this morning and saw that despite the switch being on 2wd, the dash still indicated it being in 4lo. I switch it into 4wd lock, and the 4wd light flashed so I know it isn't switching even back into 4wd. I've tried switching while in neutral, drive, even park and it's not budging. HELP!

Front end damage

Today gettin on the on the highway i hit a patch of slush. We just had a foot of snow and its been raining, so all the snow is melting. Well, i decided to take the trip home from work in 2wd, thinking i could go without 4wd because the roads didnt seem too bad. Lost control, went into a ditch. Now, thats nothing, id actually have no damage if thats all that happened. But i ended up smacking into some concrete. Just the passenger front tire hit. So its bent into the rear of the fender, the rim is busted, tire is flat. Im wondering what yall think would need replacing? The driver side seems to look in good shape, just passenger has damage. The engine and transmission both operate fine. If i didnt have a 3 inch lift, then there might of been some engine damage. Ill post pics later on, just want some rough ideas.

Lets talk lifts

Hey guys,



I have been indulging with my recent jeep purchase for around 8 months now. Ever since I have gotten it, I have wanted to lift it. I love the look and feel of a nice mean looking YJ. I want to get as much information about lifts as I can because I will be doing it early May/June and am certainly going to attempt it myself. I need intel however, the basic questions. How much lift should I go for? I understand this depends on what you are going to want out of your performance most. I want it to be noticeable, I'm not going to drop all the money to lift it an inch. I should mention most of my internal components are stock, as far as I know. I have mostly been focusing on body replacement and rust repair. How much money are we talking (obviously it differs)? I know how JF loves their lifted rigs, so tell me all you can about yours! Pictures are most welcome, because I know how much you all love pictures :thumbsup:



Cheers :cheers2:

Need some help with locks and doors

I wanted to see if anyone on this forum could point me in the right direction. My drivers side door handle no longer springs up and down. I have to actually lock in while I am driving or it will swing wide open on a turn. Is there a part I can buy to help fix this and if so, do you guys know of a good tutorial or instructions that can show me how to do it?



Also the lock on one of the doors is not working properly, any guidance on how to repair or fix the locks in these doors would be very much appreciate.



Thanks in advance.

first time wrangler buyer

Hi! I'm new into the jeep world, but really love the wranglers! I am looking for a wrangler 4 door, 4x4 preferably white. I have 20k to spend. What models and all that am I looking at? Help please! I have been noticing for that price I am looking at 2010 and older, but someofthem have higher mileage (100k) and that worries me? Should I be worried about that high of miles on a jeep, or are they pretty dependable motors?

Hesitating, backfiring, loading-up

Okay so.



Last week I was leaking coolant everywhere.



I decided to go ahead and swap out the water pump and thermo just in case.



As soon as I did that, it started running godawful.



Idle's fine, but between 1500 and 3000 RPMs it hesitates, loads up and backfires.



The exhaust smells like it's dumping fuel.



Now, the PO had hillbillied a KNS filter in. When I pulled that disaster apart, all the hoses were full of this high-viscosity brown/gray fluid that looked like chocolate milk but smelled like rancid animal grease.



I've been in the process of replacing airbox, returning it to stock.



And I'm confounded.



See attachment:



I've gone ahead and colored the lines that I'm confused about.



1: Red.

The airbox I have doesn't have a "vacuum motor" or "bimetal sensor."

What are they and why do I need them? What function does they serve and can they be ignored?



The system ran fine before without them.



2: Blue & Green.

Why are these two lines going into the airbox? As the Green line runs down to the "canister". I've gone ahead and just ran the Blue to Green and nothing has changed in my running problem.



Also:

The unit as I got it had a TPS that only had one pigtail coming off of it, however there are two in the wiring harness. I replaced the TPS with a stock unit. No change in running.



So what gives? What do I do here? I'm at a loss and am ready to drive the thing into a river. I hate this Renix garbage.

Lost Keys No Spare

I lost my keys and need to know if putting transfer case in neutral unlock the entire drive train so that I can trailer it. if not is pulling the ignition out easy to do so that I can start it without key. Need to know ASAP cause its parked in a non-secure lot! Thanks for any suggestions!!

Just Plain Dies

Good day fellow jeepers...my '93 2.5L has developed a nasty habit of dying randomly at some pretty inopportune times. It only stops while driving and when it does it's just like the key was shut off, no sputters, no warning. Gauges and lights stay on. The first time I fiddled with the coil wire and started right up. A few days later it stopped and I could restart it so replaced the coil wire and it ran for two days. It has done it a couple of more times and each time it has restarted after I cycle the key a couple of times.



Thoughts on what this might be? I hate throwing parts at an intermittent problem.

Jeep Can Die While Winching

I have a 2000 XJ with a Q9500is winch and Super Start Extreme battery with 850CCA's. When I installed the winch, I had to spool the winch with all the synthetic line. Half way through, the Jeep shut off (without using any gas). It took a jumper pack to boost it back up running. When I use my winch, it draws the battery from normal 14V to 12V and LOWER if I don't have my gas around 2k RPM. I have been reading that Jeepers are sold on upgrading to a Diehard Platinum P4 34/78 AGM battery. However those only have 800CCA, and I already have 850CCA in my Super Start Extreme. Without running a dual battery setup (as I may only winch 2-3 time a year), my questions:



-Is that normal to draw so much out of the battery?

-Is this harming my Jeep to rely on 2k RPM to keep it from dying?

-Do I need to upgrade anything, if so, WHAT?



please help!

binding during left turn.

Hello again, so, i have a 93 GC ZJ, 5.2l v8. my problem is:

i did the transfer case from the 249 to the 242, everything is fixed and working fin now! but i took it wheeling, and since then it wants to bind and come to a stop when i have the wheels cranked for a left or a reversed right and have to give it some gas to get it to budge.

i've been contemplating getting the IRO over the knuckle system to see if that would solve my problem just wanted to get another opinion before i do.



the wheel turns completely without considerable effort. but binds and stops if i don't rev it up. occasionally it will bind and hop depending on the turn.

any ideas? suggestions? thank you for your time. :)

Aux Fan not working, ECU?

I have spent most of the day in here reading the previous posts and I have not run across the same headache that I have got. A big Thank you to those that help.



The Jeep:

1995 Cherokee Sport (Stock)

4.0 L 6 cylinder

269,000 miles, but as you know a vehicle that makes it that far has been taken care of. Engine was rebuilt at 155000 miles, transmission is original.



The problem: 1995 Cherokee likes to over heat in traffic, today it was 52 degrees and it almost overheated waiting for two lights. Once moving the temp comes right back down. The Aux fan will not come on at 220 degrees.



Parts Replaced with new:

Radiator, Fan clutch, water pump, heater core bypass valve, All coolant hoses, installed new spring in bottom radiator hose, coolant, temp sensors, vacuum lines, transmission lines, transmission and transfer case were serviced.



Trouble shooting so far:

I have had a leak down test performed on the cooling system and over night it did not drop any pressure. I also tested for a head gasket with the chemical test and it came up negative. Compression is in 160's across all cylinders.



I have tested the Aux fan by jumping across the relay and the fan powers up. So I know the Fan is good. I tested the relay and it was good, however I replaced it to be sure and both temp sending units. I then was not sure about the temp gage so I put in an auto meter temp gauge that had its own sending unit. (I replaced the sending unit in the back of the head for the auto meter unit. The dash gauge no longer works. This was expected.) The ground to the control side of the relay is good. The power side goes from 0-.055 volts, which is basically nothing. The relay never gets a signal



I learned in here that if I disconnect the 2 wire sending unit that the fan should power up. It does not. Also with a 470 ohm resistor in the connector the fan does not turn on. One thing that was odd was when I disconnected it, with the motor running it almost died. I then read I shouldn't unplug it with the motor running. Also this did not turn on the check engine light, which I believe it should have. Fan does not run when I turn on the ac, however the compressor is out on the ac, so I don't know if it should still kick it on or not?



The status on the Fuses, all checked and tested.



When I shut off the jeep after it has warmed up, I can hear what sounds like running water. I have not lost any coolant since it was changed.



Nothing I have read in here discusses the diode for the aux fan control. When I went to just buy one they did not know what I was talking about. Does it actually exist for this year of jeep? If not then what would you look at next? How do you test the ECU?



Thanks again for reading this!

clutch linkage broke shortly after being rear ended

Hello All,



First thanks in advance for any help.



Back story -

Last week I was stopped in traffic after and intersection, foot either depressing clutch getting ready to start moving or above clutch (I have the bust shin to back that part up), when I was slammed from behind and pushed into the car in front of me. $1800 in bumpers, tire carrier, rear gate and quarter panel work/replacement. She hit me hard enough to bend my bumper under and leave and outline of her license plate. After driving it home I didn't drive till that friday to a dentist appointment and to work. Didn't drive it at all over the weekend and I think i only drove it tuesday-this friday just to work and back.



Problem -

While driving it home I hear a pop when I pushed the clutch in to switch gears, it then felt a little soft. I made it another few miles then my clutch hit the floor. I just replaced the whole system in November with the prebleed kit from Rockauto and have not had any issues (including a christmas road trip to TN and SC).



Question-

Is it possible that during the impact that slammed the clutch pedal to the floor and broke the bushing?



Stats-

98 TJ sport stock manual transmission



Thanks again.

HP Dana 30's and XJ/MJ Dana 44

Have several axles I will be getting rid of in the next couple weeks. Have a Dana 44 from an MJ. 3.07 Ratio with limited slip. Complete drum to drum. These use the 2.75" tubes vs the skinny 2.5" TJ d44 tubes. Makes for a very easy swap since it's the same bolt pattern and same WMS as most wranglers and XJ's. Also have a couple of HP Dana 30's from XJ's. These are all 3.55 ratio non disconnect axles. I can ship these for between 100-200 depending on your location. Looking for $400/ea for the d30s and $700 for the D44. I will be out of town this weekend but can send pics as soon as I get back.

2004 Wrangler Dies while driving

The other day I was driving down the interstate my low fuel light came on. About 1 mile later it died. I pulled over. It cranked up and I got to a station. Filled up. On the way home it kept doing this. I can go out and start it and it will sit and idle fine. But drive it 50ft it dies

Front End Mechanical Help

So, the long and short of it is this:



When I turn to the right--e.g., taking a right turn at a stop light--I get a rapid popping sound coming from my passenger side front end. It happens on the left, too, but it is not as bad. It gets worse in the colder months, leading me to believe that it is definitely something mechanical and not the tire rubbing up against something.



I have no clue what it could be.



It's a 99 WJ with ~151,000 miles on it. I recently replaced the front drive shaft and the right and left steering assemblies [or whatever they're called] because the boots had been ripped and were dry from the grease leaking out.



After all that, now I have this other problem. Any help would be appreciated.:tea:

Oil filter help :)

Hi there,

This is a MANN oil filter. In order to their catalogue I need W920/6 but I have W916/1 - the only difference is colour and Bypass Valve Opening Pressure (see links). And now is THE question: can I use it?

Hearing gringing noise in rear axle

I have an 8.8 rear with ARB and 4.10 gears. The other day as I was driving I heard a grinding/scratching sound coming from what seemed like one of my rear wheels. I jacked it up and took off the rear wheels thinking maybe there was a rock or something stuck somewhere between the wheel or the brake. While I was turning the axle I could here a grinding noise, but goes away when I take off the brake rotor. Anyone have any idea what this could be?

i get my jeep this weekend... the guy changed the tires i had to 31x1050. i noticed the sides of the jeep were awfully nasty. i know, i've been told a jeep doesn't look natural without some mud on it, but i like mine cleaned up once in a while.



the fenders are stock i guess, i didn't change them in the 8 years i owned it, but since i think i like the looks of these tires, i think maybe a wider fender is needed.



what do you suggest and think, something in black and easy to put on.

1999 Grand Cherokee 4.7 loss of oil pressure after warm...

Hi guys,



I am usually on the TJ forum but my mom and dads grand cherokee just recently started losing oil pressure once it is warmed up and they think the engine is blown.. Do you guys have any idea what can cause this? they are tight on money right now so I really hope it is not a blown engine...



Just recently my aunt and her new boyfriend got stuck going up a half mile icy hill and started rolling backwards, he said it got up to around 30 mph sliding backwards so he threw it in drive while in low range and floored it.. he had it tacked out for about 30 solid seconds. that was about 100 miles ago on the jeep, could this have caused the engine to go?

Interior Question..m

New 2015 Altitude. I just notice the door stitching on the driver's armrest is white and the rest of the interior passenger and back seats armrest are black. Is that normal?

Quadra-Drive Issue

I recently bought a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.7L V8 The Quadra-Drive system is not engaging when the tires start to slip, in fact the only way I can get through this winter weather currently is a lot of prayer (haha) and to get up my driveway if there is Ice is to put the jeep in N and put it in 4L. It does engage into 4x4 but ONLY 4Low and I can hear the transfer case, It switches in and out fine. So my question is, is there a sensor on the transfer case that is bad that is causing this? Is it something I have to replace the hole transfer case? or what? Thanks for any help :)

14 GC Summit Climate Control Problem After Reflash

I had the same 2014 auto climate control problems posted by everyone else on this forum. My dealer did the reflash. Now it has gone from one extreme to another in auto mode.



When it is cold outside and I first start it, it blows freezing cold air through the dash vents for 1-2 minutes before switching to the floor vents.



Once heat comes on, the fan will blow about the "5" speed setting. But long before the whole cabin gets up to temperature, the fan speed goes to "1" and barely puts out any air.



Has anyone else experienced this? It's driving me nuts. Thanks!

Need help

I need some help identifying this trail. I went on it in 2008 sometime and can't remember the trail. I think it's near Idaho Springs. In front of the jeep is shear cliff, open to a valley and it's above tree line in the pic. I remember as you come up on the hill you can see the trail snake up the mountain. Anyone recognize this?

Courtesy switch mounted in door on handle

Does anyone have a picture or a diagram of the switch mounted to the door handle that controls the courtesy and overhead console lamps? I'm thinking the one on my driver's door may be getting flaky. Lights always come on when I use the fob to unlock, but they don't always come on if I just open the driver's door with the handle. Passenger door seems to work fine.

Thanks,

Jeep Work Advice

Hey JF,



I was gone away at West Point for 4.5 years and my mother didn't really keep up with the maintenance while I was gone. I changed the oil almost every break but other than that nothing really happened. I don't think she even drove it or turned it on like she said she would. My brother is in the Marine Corps and I allowed him to drive it when he was on leave a few months ago but he's the other person to drive it.



I drove it to Fort Lee and noticed some things that weren't right. After looking I noticed that one of the shocks has completely failed and there is Diff Fluid getting slung all over which makes me think one of the rear seals has failed. It's making a noise like the Throwout Bearing is gone. I wasn't there when my dad changed the clutch last time but it's been no more than 25k ago and probably more like 15k. Luckily the clutches for Jeeps are about 10% the cost of the clutch I have to buy for my 2500 CTD.



My questions are mainly in the clutch and shock route. I have a Fabtech 2.5" Spacer lift on it which I will one day replace with a BDS 3" kit but for now my Jeep is my DD and will not see any trail time until I get to Colorado. Is it okay to use stock length shocks with this if it isn't seeing trail time? I'm just tired of it teetering every time I drive it. In the clutch department. I don't know what clutch was used when he put it in but I suspect it had the inferior throwout bearing instead of the OEM style. I'm looking at SACHS Part # K189005 for the clutch. Does the Sach's kit come with the better TB or should I purchase a National seperately? I'll set up a PO Box soon so I can get it from RockAuto and save some money and I've been pleased with their service in the past. Thanks.

Cable Clutch Conversion?

I am considering converting my 74 CJ5 (AMC 360) to a cable clutch to eliminate the clutch linkage binding up when the frame flexes. Does any one have a parts list or is there a kit available to make this conversion?

Any help would be appreciated.....TIA

Looking at buying 07 5.7 HEMI WK

Hey guys. Avid XJ owner/wheeler here looking into getting a WK. It looks to be in excellent shape and has no mechanical problems. I'm just asking for any opnions on the WK in question. Any advice or things to look for when I go look at it? And a good asking price cause the price seems high. I do have a certain price in my head that will seal the deal if he agrees. But want to hear from what some other WK owners have to say. Thank you in advance for your replies.

Bleeding brake ABS - yea or nay

My recently acquired 1999 WJ may have had the brake fluid changed once in 15 years... I did the Motive pressure bleeder and the fluid was as nasty as anything I have seen. While I have fresh fluid in the system I am concerned about the ABS portion that I cannot do. I know that a lot of ABS issues are caused by contamination and the old fluid was just bad. Is this worth taking to dealer to get them to use the tool to purge the ABS or am I just paranoid?

misfires

Hi Guys.

im new to the jeep comunity,so please help if you can.



i have a 1998 cherokee xj 4 litre straight 6 auto.

when it is cold it drives smooth, but as soon as the temp goes up, not even quarter of normal, it starts to misfire and jerks, can it be the ignition leads and dizzy rotor?:confused:

Using speakers without a head unit

So I'm looking into possibly converting my stereo setup to something that only utilizes an mp3 or phone setup.



Basically, I'm wanting to play music in the Jeep either through bluetooth connection, or an aux plugin only. I'm trying to get rid of the traditional deck/head unit setup to help simplify the dash and eliminate clutter.



I can play spotify in my 2014 Ram through the uconnect setup via bluetooth, I'm looking for a similar way of doing things. I don't listen to CDs, or listen to the radio so I don't want something that has all that crap.



Unless there are head units out there that are mp3/bluetooth only?

wiring up 2nd battery

I had an old battery laying around for years and thought it was dead but recently i threw it on the charger for the hell of it and to my surprise it retained a good charge. Nothing better than saving a hundred bucks next time i need a battery! Anyway i have a purely offroad rig that doesnt see a lot of run time, but since i have this battery im thinking of putting it in the back and add it to the charging system. I do not want to wire it up so it can start the jeep, only be charged by it. Basically my question is - i need to run pos and neg wires to the spare battery and put some kind of switch inline to be able to turn the charging on/off, and that will be all I need? I know it will work so im not really sure why im asking, but just curious what everyone thinks/runs. All i want is a second battery that is charged in case the primary battery is low or dead so all i have to do it swap batteries to get the thing started

AX5 rebuild source

'92 2.5L five speed. Gettin' really hard to get it into 4th and grinds a bit between 3,4 & 5 in either direction.



I've been eyeballing rebuilt Trans's on eBay, in the $675 range.



Does anyone have experience buying and installing rebuilt AX5 trans? If so, from what source?





Any disappointments with the quality of the build?





Anybody on this forum offer rebuild services?





Thanks!

Turn signal lever busted. I think.

New problem: Whatever it is that activates the turn signals is broken. The stalk is just hanging there loosely flopping around in the left turn position and moving it up and down doesn't activate the signals. Also, there's no "click" sound or any type of resistance indicating the various positions of the stalk. The actual stalk itself is fine since I can still control my wipers.



I tried searching the old posts but I can't seem to find a similar issue. What's broken and how do I fix it?



I have a '95 with a tilt column and intermittent wipers if that helps. Thanks.

VC going bad, need help on options

So after a couple weeks after swapping out my Front CV style drive shaft to a u joint shaft my VC in my 249 seems to be going. noticed it started making the clicking noise at low speeds and low speed turns. also it only happens when the vehicle is warmed up.



My options i have came up with



1. Remove front driveshaft so i can still drive it then wait to get a 249 again and swap or do a 242 swap

2. Buy viscous coupling and replace

3. buy another 249 ( i like having 4wd all time, especially since i live in northern alberta) and swap

4. buy a 242 and swap



getting any sort of transfer case is difficult since i live almost 4 hours north of edmonton and there arent any junkyards close to me.



Ideas are appreciated
