    Didn’t realize you hadn’t pulled the inner pinion bearing off yet. So the shim you dropped on is the preload shim. When you pull that...

    Set the pinion on its head and drop the left shim on it and take a pic.

    The one on the right is the one being called thrust washer and probably more correctly called outer pinion slinger. That one goes on the...

    You'll probably need a higher ohm resistor in that case. Every brand of bulb has a different wattage, so it's impossible to just assume...

    machoheadgames replied to the thread Engine advice.

    As long as the 2001 engine is from a TJ, I can’t think of any issues. If it’s from a Cherokee XJ then it won’t work. From a XJ it would...
