    2004 4.0 - List Of Parts For Front End Rebuild

    Hi Gang Thanx for all your help here. I recently posted I was dealing with Death Wooble on my 2004 4.0. When I first bought it in 2010, (with 20K Miles), the most common cause were worn tires. And most times that fixed it. Same with my older 1990 previously. Also know, I'm 78 years old and...

    Thanks Colojeep Thanks 06GEEP Thanks Harold Thanks Guys! Yeah Southern Florida can be tough at times ... I've had Hankook's before and never had any problems ... The exact issue for me is that the current tires, (installed 4-5 years ago and rotated), are worn to the point I'm getting 'Death...

    2004 - 4.0 Wrangler - Best Tire Size (Regular Road Use Only)

    Hi Harold! Nice To See You! Yes, the Good Year's look Great but where do I get them? I don't believe my local guy can order these? I'll have to find out? If I'll need to order thru 'Tire Kingdom', or some place similar, they're probably gonna cost more, and they will insist on mounting them...

    Possible Bad 42RLE Transmission: 2004 Wrangler

    Weasellee Thanx for the comments .... I believe the Warranty is 3 years - 20K. At 77 years old, I drive less than 2K a year. Reduced my Ins. rates considerably by dropping excessive coverage. Thanks again Mr. Weasellee (y)

    Possible Bad 42RLE Transmission: 2004 Wrangler

    Thanx hear! I've actually decided on a Rebuilt (to be done locally) by a reputable service center. I called all the popular places who offer both re-built and used and it makes no sense to pay almost $1700 and in addition pay my local trusted repair guy another $1500 to do the work. Not to...
