Hey all, i have a question i either cant find or one that somehow hasnt been discussed. Its been awhile since ive been active as life had me sell my TJ awhile back, but am now back looking at the market and had a question about the oil pressure gauge. We all know in 2003 they changed some...

Mine just started doing that a few days ago. And i keep seeing more and more broken skirts with that noise the deeper i dig.

Also have a knocking 02 sport...been discovering piston slap is common, apparently. Now i’m worried. How did the rebuild go?

EDIT: Alright everybody, let’s hear your opinions/diagnoses as to what my knocking is, with these symptoms. Recently, the last few days only, after i had let it sit for a mere week, it starts up good, I drive a few minutes, and start hearing the knocking. at 50km/h its clearly audible. This only...

So what about the coolant pipe that threads into the pump? Nobody seems to mention it. Does the stock one last forever?

In honesty, i tend to presume i need things i dont before checking that i need them. The springs are actually good still. Im surprised at the resiliance of this older higher mileage jeep. Springs are fairly simple, but havent done them on a TJ. And tjs are easy to work on. Check your bumpstops...

Excellent, thanks

Thanks! As rob has said, ill probably upgrade to all new, usually how my OCD runs me for integral parts like this, plus i have her loaded all the time, use her for work so i always have material and tools, and when i dont work shes loaded with recreational gear Thanks for the offer though.

Thanks for the clarification👍🏻 Thats 2 for rancho 5000x, not including all the other threads that say ranchos are excellent. Looking good, thanks jeepers! Will be checking in on this until i get to purchasing them. Thats how it is with my BMWs but luckily those never remain stock. Not sure...

For the zj upgrade, do you go to the zj parts section on rock auto, or is the moog one they have the upgraded version?

Im assuming its 12" is the rear height? Ill check when i get home.

This seems to be unheard of in the jeep community, but I would like to retain the stock suspension height/setup. I believe after 320k and 17 years its on the list to replace. My question is, what brand would you recommend, and what model or sizes do i need to maintain the stock ride Thanks in...

well, under all the snow there is pavement, but theres no traction. In 2wd i was rolling backwards. So i felt it a good time to check the function. Which it does, but with noise

As my first post I'll start with a hello all around and thanks for all the help this forum has given me through purchasing my first TJ. New as of January something. As for the post, I've researched far and wide, and come up with a potential u-joint issue. But to be sure I thought I'd ask where...
