    A/C Bracket to Block Bolt Size

    Does anyone have any idea what size bolt connects the AC compressor bracket to the block on a 2000 4.0? Mine is missing. Usually I can find bolt sizes in the parts catalogs. I don't see this one at all in the 2000 catalog. I see it in the 2006 catalog, and the drawing looks like what is on...

    Why does my Jeep sound like an old VW?

    I just swapped in a lower mileage (90k) 4.0. Before this it sat for a very long time (7 years) while I dealt with other crap. I don’t really hear the sound when the jeep is parked and the hood is up, a tiny bit and not at all if I give it gas (fan gets too loud). It sounds really good just...

    Remove ABS module behind dash

    I guess at some point my Jeep had ABS. When I bought it the fuses had been pulled (to hide the ABS light I am sure). I would have tried to fix it but my axles won’t work with it anyway. I have been planning on pulling the ABS motor under the hood to free up some space but I never realized...

    Can't figure out electrical issue.

    Total electrical idiot here. When I turn on my headlights, my right front parking lights don’t turn on and I get the right turn signal illuminated solid on my dash. Hazard lights work both sides. Turn signal flashes fast to the right. Both right turn signal and right side marker illuminate.I...

    Keep or ditch BPEs

    I am getting ready to put in new shocks. It looks like the PO installed Bar Pin Eliminators front and rear. Is it easily reversible? Is it better to keep the BPEs or go back to stock? Thanks!

    Should something be connected here?

    Removed the kick panel to change my headlight switch and I noticed this disconnected plug on the right side of the steering column. Is it something I need to worry about?

    Is this a normal noise?

    Just finished swapping in a 4.0 from a wreck, started for the first time today. This is the first time I’ve been able to start the Jeep in 7 years so I don’t really remember how it is supposed to sound but this seems noisy to me: The place I got the engine from said it was tested. Appreciate...

    Vacuum filling cooling system

    This is probably a dumb question that someone can answer pretty quickly. When using a vacuum kit to fill an completely empty cooling system does the tool go into the opening of the radiator or the overflow tank?

    Transmission tunnel cover gasket

    I removed the access cover on the transmission tunnel of my 2000 w/ manual transmission so I could remove the shifter to drop the transmission. There was some sort of gasket material between the cover and the tub, it’s all disintegrating and crumbling, so I would like to replace it, the part’s...

    Starter connector to harness

    I am try to remove my wire harness, so far I’ve been able to disconnect every thing except the starter and the oil pressure sending unit. On the plug for the starter, when I tried to pull the red tab it crumbled. Is there any way to disconnect it without being able to pull out the red locking...

    Oil pump pickup tube / screen replacement

    The screen on my oil suction tube is looking pretty bad, how hard is it to replace the tube? I saw mention of a special tool needed but no other details and not sure if it’s the case for all years. This is a 4.0 from an 04

    Engine swap questions

    The 4.0 in my 2000 bit the dust a while back at 185k. This spring or summer I will be swapping in a rebuilt motor. I just want to know if there is anything else I should replace while I am at it. Obviously will have new plugs, gaskets and items associated with the engine replacement. I am...
