    Coolant leak tracked down? 2nd opinions please

    My 2002 (125k 4.0L manual) has been very slowly losing coolant for the past 6 months or so following replacement of tstat/gasket and all hoses by a shop. To give you an idea of how slow it's leaking, in about 6 months the overflow reservoir level dropped from "full" about halfway to "fill". I...

    OEM side windows - tan - can ship

    OEM original tan rear window panels, should fit any TJ OEM soft top. I think they're OEM because they have no markings or tags on them at all. The previous owner was using these with a Smittybilt top so the zippers didn't line up (I could only use the velcro). I got matching Smittybilt side...

    Cooling system pressure tester adapter

Like some of the reviews warned, it doesn't have an adapter that fits my MOPAR radiator. The closest universal adapter popped out...

    Cooling system overhaul shop rate?

    Heater core always active?

    Do TJs have a heater control valve or is coolant always flowing through the heater core even with the heat turned off? I looked through the service manual and couldn't find anything about a valve, and I don't see any valves between the thermostat and heater core. But some sections mentioned...

    Rollover warning decal: is it standard?

    I'm shopping for a TJ and I have a probably stupid question. Does the rollover warning decal come on the driver's side visor from the factory? Or is it only put on if it's lifted?
