    I experienced the same thing. Snake oil, just like all that came before it.

    P0301 cylinder 1 misfire: is this spark plug oil fouled?

    Exactly what i saw, ( or didn't ). No movement from the front rocker. Maybe a bad camshaft ?

    Aircraft Stripper on Hardtop

    Is the paint soft ? If so give it some additional time, It might possibly kick, then you can sand it and start over. I sprayed the toe rail on my skiff and didn't think about what I was doing and mixed the clear with less than half of the catalyst it called for. It was tacky for a few weeks but...

    Arches: plantar fasciitis

    Someone above stated a frozen water bottle, Thats provided great relief for me. Lay it between a thin towel and roll your foot back and forth. You can do it sitting at your desk or while watching TV. I also try to rotate my shoes and wear something different each day.

    Coil quality

    Hope not to steal the thread but I was told ProComp was no more, When I purchased my jeep earlier this year it came with ProComp MT2 tires, They are getting close to needing to be replaced so I've been looking to see what's available. I called around, and 2 shops said ProComp tires are no...

    Did you set the actuator pin on the correct side of little cam within the unit ? If I recall there is certain place it needs to be set during assembly. Maybe Im wrong. ???

    Found a random wire

    To me that doesn't look like a factory wire, The zip tie definitely is not factory style. It looks like something added for some kind of an accessory by the PO. Peel it out of the split tube and see where it goes. At minimal cut off the exposed wires and seal up the end in case its a live...

    Transmission logic

    Just wondering how you could actually drive it without the support of the skid plate.

    Is my new starter bad?

    There should be a nut that locks down the stud to the starter case, Then the cable lug goes on top of that, Then a lock washer and the top nut to hold the cable tight. If you removed the bottom nut and are using that to secure the cable that's very likely the problem.

    Synthetic oil in the 4.0

    I don't know about you guys but I was in Walmart the other day and the store by me no longer stocks conventional oils, Everything was Synthetic blend or full synthetic. Im sure conventional oils can be ordered thru Amazon or found at a auto parts store. I used SuperTech High Mileage Full...

    How much to offer for impact orange LJR?

    I think if you show up with 24K you'll be driving it home, He definitely priced it so he has some wiggle room. If he says NO he's just fishing and not interested in really letting it go. Just my opinion .

    Bad engine: replacement options?

    Bingo, Thats an easy option and you'd be on the road in a day to 2 after getting all the parts. How many miles does it have ? Did you do anything extreme that could have caused the damage ? Im just wondering, some 4.0's go a long time without anything / others seem to give up the ghost easily.

    Clutch Pedal Goes Limp

    If the linkage did fall off you can put it back in place and zip tie the outside end. I did that several months back as a temporary fix while I ordered a new clip. The clip arrived but Ive never installed it as the zip tie is holding well. I guess I should do it soon. I learned this trick...
