    Gates idler pulley?

    Placed an order with RockAuto for a belt-tensioner w/pulley, idler pulley and a new serpentine belt all made by Gates for my 2001 Sport Wrangler. Now I'm reading there may be a problem with the idler pulley fitting correctly because of redesign? My bad...should have done more research before...

    Which O2 sensors to replace?

    I have a 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport I bought new back in 2001 and approaching 71,000 miles. I have never had a check engine light for O2 sensor but feel age alone they probably should be replaced? Do I only need to change out the 2 pre-cat O2 sensors for performance and fuel efficiency?

    Oil Pump Diagram

    Fishtaco it's time for me to change my oil this week and I'm going to use Valvoline Full Synthetic Advanced 10W-30 instead of my usual Valvoline or Castrol High Mileage blend. I do believe from your explanation I have the same 2 second startup rattle you have only difference being mine happens...

    Oil Pump Diagram

    Fishtaco since winter has now returned I'm experiencing my seasonal 2 second "cold dry start rattle" that ONLY happens during winter. Any other time my 2001 4.0L never makes a tick even after sitting for days?

    Weird knocking sound on cold start

    My 2001 Sport bought new didn't start making any lifter noise till it reached around 50,000 miles. Mine will just do a quick 1-2 second start up rattle ONLY when the temperature is in the 50's and below...NEVER during warmer periods. I read an article about hydraulic lifters that stated...when...

    Drum brake wheel cylinder doesn't mate with brake line

    Mr. Blaine informed me that you will not really get much of a finger start to ensure that you are not cross-threading. I did my best to finger start (won't be much at all!) then had to use line wrench to fully tighten. All went well and glad I didn't cross thread fitting on brake hard line.

    Cracked transfer case housing

    Hate to sound negative here but corporations are much more concerned about hitting numbers than they are about honest quality customer service.

    Short quick rattle at start up

    Fishtaco I'm reviving this old thread to find out if you alleviated your start-up tick.? Your brief start-up tick sounds exactly like mine...difference is I only hear my tick during the cooler months. My Jeep has not made one tick since last winter but noticed yesterday morning at start-up (low...

    Dash light flicker

    I bought my 2001 TJ Sport new and 2 years later I experienced for the first time dash flicker at night. My flicker involved the odometer reading brightening then dimming along with losing radio light briefly then reappearing. My cheap fix was reducing the brightness on the dimmer control and to...

    Brake fluid leak following full rear brake job

    That shop may have cross threaded the hardline fitting onto the wheel cylinder? Your master cylinder level should not be that low after a brake job. Last year I had to change out a wheel cylinder on a 2001 Sport TJ and I remember it being tough to discern whether I had a good thread start or if...
