    4 wheel low linkage issue

    Just installed a new SYE/CV in my 2001 TJ (4L I-6 3 speed automatic). When testing it, 2 wheel low and 4 wheel High work fine. I can put it into 4 wheel Low, but am not able to put it back to any other selection. The gears continue to spin and grind if I try to put the gear back to Neutral...

    How to replace cracked rubber grease boots?

    2001 Wrangler TJ - while assisting in installing a new lift kit, I saw a few of the rubber boots that get grease (sorry, non-mechanic here) were cracked and don't hold grease. This affects the steering and makes the jeep have a high pitch whine at 35 - 40 mph. I put grease in then realized...

    High pitch whistle when accelerating over 40 mph

    2001 TJ - 4.0L Inline 6 - when I reach 40mph, a high pitch whistle starts. It seems to fade in and out as the accelerator is pressed and then even when it isn't. Once I hit about 75mph (highway speed limit in AZ) it goes away (or I can't hear it due to normal noise). Any ideas?

    I purchased a Superchips 3874 Flashpaq F5 Programmer for 98-14 Jeep But it only had 4 features. Is there a flashpaq out there that will let me change my speedometer to synchronize it (it is 10mph off in all gears).
