    Perhaps the last new OEM radiator

    Congratulations on the find... That is the same factory radiator in original box that I purchased 2.5 years ago as a spare since the OEM radiators are going the way of the unicorn.

    Install of spring lift same labor as BB / spring spacer install?

    Several year ago I was trying to restore the ride height of the sagging OEM springs in my '01. I had your same scenario and comparing the small difference in the price of the new springs vs the spacers. For the labor involved; I decided on the new springs VS the same old tired springs. There is...

    MAP sensor air fitting

    I have found 90* rubber fittings at the local AP store OR you can use vacuum tubing that can be purchased at the AP store.

    Sluggish Acceleration

    Yup.... You have a leaking valve... and that is at least part of your power loss.

    Tea kettle whistle during cold months (suspect a manifold leak) how easy is it to find and tighten the bolts?

    The torque spec on the intake and exhaust manifold bolts 23- 24 ft lbs. Most are easy to get to except a couple below and here is a torque sequence.

    O2 Sensor Irratic Voltage Readings

    To determine if the injector(s) are part of the problem you can swap injector on cylinders 1& 3 with injectors from good running cylinders. If the problem moves to the previously good running cylinders and the previously good running cylinders are now not running properly; then the problem is...

    Sluggish Acceleration

    Did you just do a compression test or a leak down test ? The leak down test would tell you if the exhaust or intake valve was leaking by.... Not necessarily bad, but the compression ring is not working as well as on the other three cylinders.

    Help with vibration felt in seat

    What is the condition of the yokes U joints cup seating areas for the transfercase and rear differential yokes ? Is there any damage to the outer area of the yokes or burrs which do not allow the cups to seat properly ? Are the tabs on the yokes that hold the U joint cups in place still there or...

    Help with vibration felt in seat

    The only other suggestion I would have which is what was previously suggested would be to remove the rear driveshaft and verify the vibrations are gone or still present. Why did you replace the TW driveshaft ? Is the TW driveshaft still usable ? IF the TW driveshaft is still usable; I would...

    Voltage fluctuates while driving; "check gauges "

    All of that testing and results were found with the Jeep running .... I just reread your earlier posts and if the voltage is 11.6 with the engine running, all cables and connections have been tested and the alternator has been tested at two AP stores then the problem is either the ECU charging...

    Help with vibration felt in seat

    Personally I would prefer the build of the TW driveshaft over the Adams driveshaft. Who is the maker of the SYE ? With .8* down that should be sufficient to negate any vibrations when torqued is applied to the driveshaft under acceleration. Since the vibrations are also felt in neutral...

    Is this build good?

    The price and mileage are great.... As for the shocks; you could upgrade to Rancho 5000s which are the go to shock on the forum unless you really want to spend on Fox reservoirs.

    Issues with Passenger Side Marker Signal Light

    I would certainly check the connections at Splices 142 and 144, but I would also check the terminals 1&2 in the turn signal lamp and Splice 118 since power from the headlamp switch is fed thru S118. Also check Splice 125 which is where the ground connects to G103 (main ground for the side marker...

    Is this build good?

    That Jeep looks very nice well put together although there are a few parts manufacturers I have not heard of.... You did not mention the engine, but I am sure it is a 4.0L. What is the mileage ? Do a thorough inspection of the frame rails inside and out looking for patches and rust. What is the...

    Voltage fluctuates while driving; "check gauges "

    Remove the ECU 32 pin wiring harness connectors and inspect the clips and pins for oxidation. The ECU controls the alternator charging rate of the battery and to the electronics. Once you have confirmed the harness connectors condition; you can move on to checking the battery cables internal...
