    How to diagnose no fuel in the injector rail on a 97 TJ 4.0

    I found that the only difference (in most cases) in the 15 and 19 gallon tanks is the length of the vent tube next to the filler tube. I thought I had a 15 gallon tank and after a little research and replacing the fuel pump, I cut the vent tube to within 1.5" of the tank entrance and I now can...

    97 TJ 4.0 32RH auto to AX-15 manual swap

    97 TJ slop in steering wheel

    97 TJ has a few inches of (1 inch or so per direction at 12 o'clock) slop in steering wheel. New Yukon HD steering pump and steering parts (see pic). Slop was there prior to changes. Would it be more likely caused by lower or upper steering rod? Any recommendations on steering rods? Thanks.

    Restore brand oil additive—snake oil or beneficial?
