    Slow crank when starting

    Same problem, slow cranking. Bought a new battery last week, no change in cranking speed. I would like to think it was an old school timing issue, but can't turn the distributor, lol. That leaves the timing chain or starter? I have a 2001 4.0. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Adding a receiver hitch

    Keep in mind the importance of manufacturer ratings and endorsements. Any modifications or alterations a consumer does to an engineered product relieve the manufacturer of any liabilty that may be caused from such modifications. I work in construction and we have to have an engineer...

    Does anyone know what size bolt this is?

    Does not always work, but you can usually cross the head size to the bolt diameter. If it is a standard bolt the thread pitch will be easy to tell between course or fine. Metric is a little harder to tell. What size wrench fits? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Awesome, that will have to be put on my to do list. Anything else you would recommend checking in to while i am under there? The frame looks very good for the year model. But as expected for a 2001 it has some minor surface rust. Any experience with that por15 I believe is what it is called. Was...

    How was the install? I like to think I am as mechanically inclined as most. I have access to a two post lift and have more than my fair share of tools. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    I bought the wife one of those folding steps at the RV store to use for the truck. She tied a rope to it so she could drag it in behind her. Works pretty good. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Like the look off that height. How is the handling? Any noticeable sterring wobble? I have heard horror stories about the dreaded Jeep death wobble. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
