    Odd 2.4 rattle only under load while moving

    I actually ended up selling the Jeep like 2 months ago but I definitely don't think that was the problem. That thing had no low end torque so I had to shift at higher rpm. I usually shifted around 3,000. That's the only way I could get up and go kinda well enough to merge on the highway without...

    New Transfer Case Time?

    Ahh I typed in car parts.com. I was on a whole different website. That one you found is about 70 miles from me so I may have to snag it this weekend. Thanks man!

    New Transfer Case Time?

    I found one from an 01 Cherokee auto not too far from me, do you guys think that could work? I looked on carparts.com and couldn't find anything unfortunately.

    New Transfer Case Time?

    Right but what do I need to grab one from? I've heard some vehicles used 21 or 23 spline variations and have different shaft lengths. I just wanna make sure it all matches up.

    New Transfer Case Time?

    Hey guys. I've got an 06 TJ with the 2.4 and 6 speed. I'm trying to find out what transfer case will fit on the end of my transmission. My current transfer case has a nasty leak out if the tail housing, there's play in the output shaft to the rear wheels, and you can hear something in there...

    Transfer case leak

    Also idk if I said this in a previous post but the output shaft to the rear wheels does have play in it as well.

    Transfer case leak

    So I tried to seal up that leak and had 0 luck. It might actually be leaking worse now. I'm thinking a new t case may be in order. What do y'all think?

    Is there anyway to make a TJ 2.4 any faster?

    Holly crud thanks man!

    Is there anyway to make a TJ 2.4 any faster?

    Haha yeah. With that logic, me taking the 70lbs worth of tools out of the back should get me at least another 40hp right?

    Is there anyway to make a TJ 2.4 any faster?

    Yeah I'm hoping to start the swap in a year or two. So I'm guessing the best bet is gonna be buy a cheap beat up but running durango with a hemi, pull out what I need and part out the rest?

    Is there anyway to make a TJ 2.4 any faster?

    And as far as the tune up point goes, I've recently replaced the timing belt, all 4 spark plugs, valve cover gasket and spark plug tube gaskets, thermostat and housing, flushed the coolant, and I'm sure there's other stuff I'm forgetting. I know other stuff goes into a tune up but from what I've...

    Is there anyway to make a TJ 2.4 any faster?

    Holly cow that was quick y'all! Thanks for the fast responses! To answer everyone's questions, I'm running the factory rims and tires with the factory final drive ratio, I believe it's 4:10 or 4:11 and the Dana 35 in the rear. When I got it, it did have 31x10.5s on it which looked great but it...

    Is there anyway to make a TJ 2.4 any faster?

    Hey guys! I've got a 2006 wrangler 2.4 with the 6 speed. I know the 4.0 is way better but I got a deal on the 2.4 and now I'm stuck with it. Is there any way to give it some more torque? This thing looses speed like none other up hills on the highway. I do think I'm firing on all cylinders but...

    Should I get a new soft top?

    Figured it out! I had it screwed to the header completely wrong. Luckily enough, everything still lined up and no real harm was done. So a quick review on the Rough Country top. I'll start by saying it all seems pretty thin, thinner than the old Smittybuilt top. The color is ok and the windows...

    Should I get a new soft top?

    Alrighty guys the Rough country top FINALLY came in. I put it on yesterday along with the new straps. It went pretty well and the back windows are quite a bit tighter but the roof is loose as crud. Should I unscrew the header, roll it up one more time, and see if that works?
