Bought to see the SW.
Buyer of an almost free to me: rust free, broke Jeep TJ SE 2.5L.
First 2 weeks made the 2.5L stop leaking (was like potty training a puppy).
Following 2 months made it run
Last few years made it mine
Currently an actual DD/weekend warrior
Could not have gotten this far without https://wranglertjforum.com/
Thank you for all of the advice.
Redos? Followed Gear Break In recommendation from TJ forum - had catastrophic failure because I did not look here first. Put in E-Lockers.
Lessons Learned: Look up what you are about to fix/upgrade then do what Chris, Jerry, or Mr.Blaine recommend.
