    Antirock questions

    I need a bit of schooling on the AntiRock. I have an opportunity to buy one from a part out. The Jeep was hit on the front left corner. I assume that I'll want to check the shafts to ensure they are straight. Is there other things I should be concerned about. Are The bushings readily available...

    SOLVED: Jeep died, throwing P0340 code, distributor assembly seems broken

    The play in chain may not be the full cause of running rough, the crank sensor, cam sensor or other things may be contributing but the chain needs to be done and it definitely was not helping anything. Fixing it is a big step in the right direction and you will know the cam and crank are in...

    SOLVED: Jeep died, throwing P0340 code, distributor assembly seems broken

    With the play you had in the time chain the odds are it would have run like crap. That kind of play allows slop between the crank and the cam and the computer would be very hard pressed to clean it up. Follow the manual and get it back together correctly and you should be fine. Unfortunately by...

    Need a bit of help with defroster connector pin repair

    What you can do is very similar to what gets done to the PCM connector when the wiring is not there for A/C and someone wants to install it. You will need to find a donor either from a wrecking yard or someone parting a jeep out. Both the female and male ends can be extracted from the plugs...

    Where to buy door rod lock clips?

    I do not recall what I ended up getting at Lordco or Napa but the universal kit did not have what I was looking for. Unfortunately we don't have O'Reilly's around here. But I'll try to track down a Dorman kit.

    Where to buy door rod lock clips?

    I have had an issue for a while now with a broken retaining clip. Tried the local Napa etcetera and there universal clips are the wrong size. Does anyone know where you can get a decent replacement for a reasonable price instead of the $14-$25 I have seen online for what really is less than...

    No gauges on 97 TJ

    When it comes to grounds looking clean is not always enough. I helped a friend that was having issues with tail lights in a car. The ground looked good no corrosion or dirt. However polishing up the connector and bare metal with emery cloth corrected the issue and resolved some other issues they...

    Recommendations on respirator mask for cutting / grinding metal?

    If you do opt in to the halfmask ones go with one that has the remote filters. The ones that mount directly to the mask can cause fogging of your shield. I have the one from Honeywell like the one in the link and run it under my auto darkening miller helmet and the grinding shields without...

    Coolant leak

    Take a good look around the top between the plastic tank and the metal core. There is an o-ring between them, both my tanks weeped from there I ended up pulling the rad out and re-crimping the metal retainers with vise grips, that stopped the leaking. That was 4 years ago. I have a new Mopar rad...

    New clock spring, horn still won't turn off

    When it shorted it works the same as pushing on the horn it completed the circuit and sounded the horn. So a couple of things when your working in around the clockspring pull the ground off the battery and wait 5mins so you do not have the airbag accidentally discharge on you, makes for a bad...

    New clock spring, horn still won't turn off

    From the picture you included it is not possible to tell what year FSM you got it from without going through them all. If you go through the search there is a page with all the manuals for dl. Make sure you have the correct year. You will find the color coded wires will vary at times through out...

    Fried my battery in 2003 TJ Sport

    The box works for several different models and depends on your options. None of the ABS is filled in so I assume your jeep does not have ABS. There are fuses behind the glove box, it wouldn't hurt to go through them. The bigger issue is the white smoke you saw there is a good chance you fried...

    Questions about Larger Than stock Tires With No Lift.

    I am up in Canada as well and I am running Goodyear Duratracs in 31X10.50R15. More than happy with them for what I use my jeep for. And being as your in Canada if you buy them through Canadian tire you can buy their 4X4 tire warranty for about $16 extra a tire. If any one of your 4 tires is ever...
