    Control for A/C on 97 TJ not working

    We just replaced the AC compressor on the TJ and system charged with no leaks. The problem we are having is the the AC only blows cold through the defrost windshield ducts. No air flow through dash vents. Any thoughts on a fix? Maybe faulty controls? Vacuum leak?

    Will an AX15 transmission from a 97 TJ fit into a 93 YJ?

    Would anyone know if a 1997 TJ 4.0l 5spd transmission fit into a 93 YJ. If so are there any modifications that need to be made. Thanks

    Could it be that the 33's are just too big for the Dana 35 3.55 and the size is chewing up the spiders?
