    So I have this bad ass True 3 Door indoor/outdoor cooler that was used in retail. it is in great shape and runs perfectly. i picked it up about 2-3 years ago, because all the kids were living at home and it was great having a huge fridge in The garage to store food. Now the kids are moving out...

    42RLE just started sloppy shift from 3rd to 4th

    So my 03 just started sloppy shifting from 3–4. it gets hung up, and revs slightly higher before getting it into 4th. I recently changed out the TPS as I was getting g the voltage too high p0123, and upon pulling the tps I noticed the old sensor was a little crunchy. the replacement is a...

    Snapped one TPS screw

    So the first one came out with much difficulty, finally got it out. Working on the second, it snapped off. Sucker is in there tight, I have the throttle body off and the map sensor off, applied heat, not joy. How do it get this off here? This sucks

    E12 Torx Trouble

    yep! Smarts in getting the job done for sure. Did you remove them first before loosening any of the others?

    E12 Torx Trouble

    Yep, its shocking lol. Check out NAXJA on this lol. I had trouble with a set once but never again. The subsequent times they all came out easy. I just follow my process and have not had one stick again yet. Maybe they would have come out easy, but after the first fiasco, I opted to follow a...

    E12 Torx Trouble

    The biggest problem is seating the etorx properly and stripping them. Especially if the (most store bought) socket is not a perfect tight fit.

    E12 Torx Trouble

    Yes, but you need to get the trans mount too and support both. it will give you some more room. I did this on an XJ. It might be a lot of work with the skid plate though.

    E12 Torx Trouble

    You need to remove those bolts first. The very first ones you even touch on the bell housing. If you have any bolts out put them back and try that etorx again. Its a pain but the only way I have found. If you grind off the head, they come off stupid easy, almost finger tight. Its nuts. I went...

    ZJ Tie Rod Conversion

    Does this upgrade require you change the entire tie rod if its joint goes bad? It seems to me the TJ adjusting sleeve allows for replacement of both TRE on it? OR am I confused, misguided and otherwise an idiot?

    Ok so my track bar replacement fixed my wobble and cured my couple bouts of DW but I have a wobble or shake coming from the rear of the jeep after hitting bumps at speed. Nothing is felt in the steering wheel and the front end feels solid. Its a noisy wobble from the rear I am convinced. After...
