    Can't find this noise, driving me crazy

    My jeep is making a rythmic noise from the front driveshaft if I go 70mph. Sounds like I am coasting back and forth over rumble strips but not quite that loud. I know it is the front driveshaft because I took it off and the noise went away. So I rebuilt all the u joints and center ball joint...

    What triggers the check gauges light?

    So I have an LS swap 2003 TJ. But I am using the Jeop computer to run the gauges and lights. My CEL is on all the time based on this. My question is focused on the “check gauges” light. Does anyone know what triggers this light? When I start my jeep, the CEL is on (like always) and then a...

    Why does my steering suck with Rough Country 4 inch lift?

    First I did not select the RC 4” lift. It came on the Jeep when I bought it. It does have the drop pitman arm and it has the drop bracket for the track bar. I installed the ZJ upgrade steering components, did a garage alignment (3/16” farther apart in rear), and see no slop when doing a...

    Where did it go? Or are some mechanics that bad?

    Jeep JK Dana 44. IIRC there needs to be a pin where I placed the safety wire (for the pic)? I don’t see it in the drain pan. Did a mechanic just decide it was Friday and put the cover on?

    2003 TJ but axle was swapped to Dana 44, by someone else. Can anyone tell me what parking brake cable I need for a Dana 44 w disc brakes? I am guessing 2003 Rubicon brake cables would be correct?

    Is my LED headlight upside down?

    So I have LED headlights that seem to be Sunpie brands (can’t verify as they came on the Jeep at time of purchase). The issue I have is when I turn on my high beams, they act more like fog lights (they are lower than my low beams). I checked the wiring and I don’t have the wires flipped, they...

    I need to either regear my front axle to 4.56 or just put a Dana 30/35 with 4.10s on the Jeep. I know very well the 4.56 gears are awesome for some, but I am afraid they may be a bit low for me. BUT, I would like to know how much the following would be worth so I can make a better decision...

    Where should this wire go?

    PO monkeyed with the wiring and ran this green/pink stripe wire to a circuit board. I want to remove all the extra wiring and want to put this back where it should go. It comes up with the main feed at the PDC. I think the PDC but I don’t see a short wire that would indicate such. any ideas?
