    Help identifying what vacuum tube is missing on intake manifold

    Now that I look at your pictures again I think it might be the line thin line that goes over the top of your valve cover near the back and then goes to a thicker fitting just below your throttle body. Take a look at that one and see if it is or is not hooked up.

    Help identifying what vacuum tube is missing on intake manifold

    I watched a video of a guy getting ready to pull a 2.5 motor out. I could see there looks like a metering valve about two inched long coming from that vacuum port in the manifold. From there there is a much thinner vacuum line that goes toward the fire wall. I could not see where that line...

    06 TJ 42RLE Hard Shift Fixed

    I thought the PCM issues were with the 2005 and 2006 model year. What Transmission does your Jeep have? I would do the battery trick and see if your problem goes away for a while. If so, it will come back. Then I would call mark at Wrangler Fix. He will be able to advise. I put in the...

    Cylinder misfiring and ghost P0303 code

    Can you feel the misfire? Did you clear the code after putting in these new parts? And finally, when you removed the number three plug, did it look any different than the others?

    Transmission Cooler Quick Connector Leaking

    It sounds like you are disconnecting the lines at the Transmission. You don't need to do that. Just disconnect at the Radiator, plug the end in the lines to the Trans and tie them up a bit. You won't leak much fluid that way. I assumed you were just replacing the disconnects at the Radiator...

    Transmission Cooler Quick Connector Leaking

    When I replaced my radiator and disconnected the trans cooler lines form the old radiator, I plugged the end of the lines with some plastic plugs that fit fairly well, duck taped then so they would not fall out. I did not leak much fluid. I also suspended the lines face up as much as I could...

    Where can I find a new Mopar radiator?

    I had to replace my radiator (2006 4.0 automatic) about 6 months ago. I wanted the cooling line from the trans to fit in the same kind of fitting the orginal radiator had. I had trouble finding a radiator that had the same fittings so I went to a Jeep dealer here in Albuquerque, NM, CASA...

    Why a TJ?

    To me, the TJ is the last Jeep that looks like and feels like a Jeep. Once they started the JK 4 door they lost me. I think I have had just about every other CJ and Military at one time or another. There is just something special and unique about Jeeps. The TJ has it, after that at least to...

    Passenger lean

    Jeeps leaning are something I have dealt with before. When the old Willy's Jeeps were made, the drive train was offset to the drivers side and the differential to the passenger side. Those Jeeps often had the Willy's lean lower on the drivers side. I was told many times that this was due to...

    What is the current heater core recommendation?

    I am supprised by the posts here for Performance Radiator heater core for a TJ. I have a 2006 TJ and just had a Performance Heater Core installed after my original started to leak. I have been running the heater as it's getting cold in the mornings (New Mexico). It puts out plenty of heat...

    Drainage Hose

    I think so. Small puddle is what I had too. I'm assuming now it has to be the heater core and there is no way I could do that job. My Jeep has A/C too, I just never used it so it is not charged. I read I would have to remove the entire unit to get at the heater core. Now I guess I decide if...

    Drainage Hose

    Yes, that's what I thought. What I don't get is it did this just when I first went to drive the Jeep after sitting for a week. After I drove it there was no leaking at all. Right now it is sitting in the garage again and this morning, totally dry. I started the engine and turned heater and...

    Drainage Hose

    I have a 2006 TJ with the 4.0 and Auto Trans. Over the last two weeks I had something happen that I've never seen before. The Jeep is in my garage and it is getting cold here now at night. I let it sit in the garage for a week and then when I started it on the weekend what looks like coolant...

    What was your first Jeep?

    1943 Ford GPW. Selling that Jeep is one of my biggest mistakes. I loved it but sold it when I went to work in the South Pacific. Even had all the Ford script bolts.

    How close are khaki and tan interior colors?

    I have a 2006 TJ with a khaki soft top. I had to find upper half doors for it since it came with full doors and I found khaki half doors for it. Tan did not match. I also have spice upper halfs and that didn't work either. I had to search the internet until I found the Khaki upper half door...

    Transmission Cooler Quick Connector Leaking

    When I ordered my new Radiator from a Jeep Dealer it came with new connectors installed. The O ring is built into the connector. The line just slides in through the O ring. Then the spring clamp holds it in place. It looks like you need to replace the connector. The o ring is probably where...

    Advice for replacing my deer-destroyed RH fender

    I figured someone would ask. Of course it was years ago and i can't remember. I did some research at the time because I didn't want to have a problem fitting it. I understand resistance to buying aftermarket anything. Might help to search for someone who is parting out a TJ with good body...

    Advice for replacing my deer-destroyed RH fender

    The fender I bought was high quality, the metal is just a thick as the original and it fit perfectly. Reproduction Jeep body parts are like anything else, there are really good ones, and there is junk. I did not buy junk. I doubt that anyone looking at my replaced fender would be able to tell...

    Advice for replacing my deer-destroyed RH fender

    I replaced the driver's side front fender on my 2006 TJ because when I bought it I found a dented area that had bondo. I hate bondo. I bought the prepainted replacement fender and it matched perfect. Color is Khaki. I am very happy with it. Later on I dented my tailgate. I replaced it...

    Temp guage acted odd

    Yes, what I saw was a temporary (I mean maybe a minute or so) drop. It did do this after a slow drive through a town called Corrales which takes me to the highway. Then I killed the overdrive and put more load on it going up the highway. You probably right. And yes I burped the cooling...
