    Cannot shift into 4 Low

    Thanks Everyone, I figured since it worked before the skid plate being lowered it would work now with out needing an adjustment. I'll do some research on adjusting so I'm familiar with the process and have a look underneath. I did have a few others in the club try to shift into 4lo and they...

    Cannot shift into 4 Low

    T Thanks RHanna, It did shift into 4low before the frame repair and the skid plate being lowered. No other changes which is why I'm thinking the lowering of the plate is causing binding somewhere. Rich

    98 TJ 4.0 header install: intake will not seat on the pins

    98 TJ 4.0 header install: intake will not seat on the pins

    Yes it fits right into place with no issues. Any other suggestions? The videos all say there are three bolts on the bottom, I have four. Are the videos wrong? Could the motor in my Jeep been changed? How would I tell?

    98 TJ 4.0 header install: intake will not seat on the pins

    Good suggestion, it is the stock intake; I can't imagine why it wouldn't fit back on with out the exhaust manifold in place. I'll put it all out again and try the intake by itself.
