    York bracket idler spacer

    Was swapping pulleys yesterday, and I dropped the spacer for the lower pulley like a moron🤦‍♂️ either rolled down the street or went to Heaven in my engine bay... either way I cant find it and had to use a spacer(not the right size but works for now) from ace hardware. Does anyone know what...

    Belt squeal with ORO york bracket and idler

    Ive always had a slight chirp and some other noises ever since installing the york and ORO bracket with their included idler. Am having a very bad chirp/squeak that stays at idle and doesnt go away until high rpms like 2700+. Putting some water on the belt makes it go away- is this a bad belt...

    Midarm "arm" size

    Ordered the brackets and trusses from savvy, but am going to make my own steel control arms with johnny joints for the midarm. Does anyone happen to know what thickness the upper and lowers are? Ill probably use some steel DOM, just need to know the diameters. Thanks

    Misfire Help

    Developed a misfire a few weeks ago, noticed it would only do it when starting the motor after already at operating temp. P0204- is an injector issue but Is this heat soak related? I cannot get it to replicate when the engine is cold, and sometimes it goes away quickly while driving or lasts a...

    Fried PCM

    Thats what I would think. Except im almost 100% positive I dont have any shorts anywhere that would lead to that.

    Fried PCM

    Long story short my PCM is fried, ended up buying a new one from wranglerfix. We sent it in originally to a PCM repair shop, they sent it back and said "broken tracer-CPU shorted beyond repair." I cant seem to find out what a tracer is and how that can lead to a short. We tried calling but...

    Does a cold air intake add power on a 4.0?

    Did you custom tune? Because I guarantee a few runs on the dyno with a change to timings and adjusting air/fuel ratioes, you can pick up a good bit of power and slap on any intake you want and call it "gains". I know the 4.0 left a small amount of power on the table which people pick up...

    2001 4.0 crank, no start, and no gauge life

    Our mechanic buddy ended up testing the pcm voltage/ground. PCM is most likely the issue. No shorted wires currently

    2001 4.0 crank, no start, and no gauge life

    Checked all fuses, all relays work. Not sure how im getting fuel but I do not hear any noise from the pump, and it doesnt read any fuel level even though I have a full tank. Starting fluid wouldnt help either. Power reader turns on and works on other cars, but cannot communicate to the pcm...
