I need to overhaul the front diff on my 2005 TJ auto I would like to order all the parts I need prior to starting the job. I normally purchase my parts from RockAuto but it is difficult to identify the exact thrust bearings and seals I need for the pinion. Can anybody help with part numbers please.

My starter motor sometimes wouldn't run. So I removed the stater motor assembly and started dismantling the components. I found one of the magnets in the electric motor (part # 56041914AC) had shattered and small parts of the magnet had attached themselves in various places. I know I can buy a...

My TJ is 05 got the switch on its own off Amazon.

I think I have found the problem. Installed a new coil pack but the problem remained. Took the switch apart and the copper plate on the end of the shaft had chewed out the locating indents on the shaft. I could have repaired it with JB weld if a replacement was not available but new switch will...

Mine is three speed but only works on 1 The resistor unit is the style that has the coils and what looks like a diode or a resistor. All the coils are intact.

Ok thanks everyone. I've ordered a new one. Just curious the unit looks very basic where does the fault in them occur?

The blower on my 05 TJ is showing all the symptoms of faulty resistor. Only goes on one speed (second one) but blows at full speed. I have pulled the resistor but all the coils look fine. Can the resistor unit still be faulty despite it looking ok? Cheers Bob

My 2005 TJ has a 2" lift and done 60K miles and the lower control arms are looking very beaten up. I am happy with its handling and dont do any hardcore wheeling. Should i purchase another set of standard arms or something else?

Ok I've ordered Amsoil Multi Vehicle Synthetic ATF. Their technical data sheet very specifically claims it exceeds the +4 spec required the Chrysler. Will be a few days before it arrives. Problem now solved. Thank you everyone who contributed to the thread.

Great research thanks MrBlaine. I’ve been working on my market stall all day so not had time to do much rrasesrch of my own. Looks like you have saved me a lot of time. Just home now will start following up after I’ve had my diner. Won’t be able to talk to any one at Amsoil till Monday though

Tha Thanks MrBlaine. They are closed until Monday so will follow up on it then. I assume that Amsoil is only for topping up until I can get the +4

Jerry do you know what’s in the ATF-4 that makes it so vital for Jeep Auto trans?

Can you send me the link please

Only need about a litre to top up. I’ll try again next week and see what I can find. Not sure if we have Amsoil here

Yes but not +4
