    Can't fix exhaust leak

I replaced my manifold gasket last year due to a vacuum leak. That is now fixed. It is right about where the middle exhaust bolt is, on top. I put...

    Where does the air temperature sensor go on a 05 Rubicon?

    I believe 05-06 were the years that had the tube going directly to the airbox.

    Coolant leak coming from somewhere

    I found the leak. It is coming from the heater core hose that meets the tube on the water pump. I’m not sure why it’s keaking. I slid the hose as far as I could over the water pump tube. Hopefully it stops leaking. It was just dripping out of the end of the hose and leaking all down the side of...
