Lol! 😆 Just got back from O'Reilly's. The guys at the store were also dumbfounded. The manager went out of his way to get things straightened out. Corporate told him I probably shouldn't put it in. Lol! Now the long wait for replacement.

Oreillyi's,, AFA, mostly RockAuto. DO NOT BUY FROM ShopJeepParts.com! Scam Site! Fighting with PayPal to retrieve my payment. One big problem is "out of stock" items, which force you to shop all over to find the part. Here's what two of the lifters in a pack of four looked like. The other two...

Thanks! The thing that makes it more of a kick in the butt is the waiting & waiting for part to arrive. It's just hard to believe how bad things have gotten.

I'm totally and completely insanely fed up with the part stores, online parts stores, distributors and non-caring manufactures that don't give a @#$! about the customer, only his money! Sorry for the rant, but I've never had a worse experience than with this engine build. Name brands included...

I thought the same thing. Had the part in the box ready to ship back, but no other option is available if you want to stay Mopar other than used. Didn't want to waste time trying to figure out which of the aftermarket parts work or not. Seems there's no definitive answer there. So I took a...

Northern Minnesota! You've got your Fall (1 month).... Pretty colors and lots of mud. You've got your Winter (10 months).... Slippn', slidn' & snowblindness. You've got your Spring (1 month)..... Unbearable mosquitoes and lots of mud.

Case in point. Just ordered a Mopar crankshaft position sensor from Rock Auto. Part #56027865AB. It came baring the alternate part number #68407888AA and proudly stamped on the packaging under the MOPAR logo - "Made in China" To boot, the sensor plug was incorrect, it did not fit into the...

Thanks for the welcome! I named my TJ "Malaria". Yellow 2001 Sport with a 3" body lift. Going to bedline the tub this week, will post pics!

Strange thing I find my way here. I was looking originally for a first gen Bronco, but couldn't pass up a great deal on a TJ. Glad I did it! It is a blast to drive, easy to work on, and gazillion accessories. Got a few bugs to work out. They had it gobbed up with rust proofing to hide the rusty...
