    Mysterious Chirp / Rattle Noise

    My 05 has developed a weird chirping/rattle noise over the past few months that's gotten worse lately. Hopefully the video I inserted below works, but the noise is coming from behind the upper part of the dash. It only does it above 50mph, sometimes it's a chirp every now and then, sometimes...

    Transfer Case Input Shaft

    Had my 231 recently explode on me. I happened to have another 231 laying around which I *thought* was identical. Upon removing my old one from my 42rle I noticed that it uses the shorter input shaft while my potential new transfer case has the longer shaft. Three options come to mind: Swap the...

    Why do my tire sidewalls bulge on aftermarket wheels?

    The width of your steel wheels is probably smaller than the width of the stock ones

    How much oil should come out of a 4.0?

    I was mainly asking what the typical amount should be that comes out of the pan, since I was under the impression that not enough had come out of mine. Thought I might have been burning oil. I think someone said around 1/2 quart for the filter, I never knew it held back that much. If the filter...

    How much oil should come out of a 4.0?

    Changed my oil yesterday, 6 quarts 10w30, went right to the full mark on the dipstick. Changed the filter as well. All went well until I poured the used oil from the jeep (including from inside the filter) back into the jug and it read 4 1/2 quarts. This seems too low to me. Obviously not...

    Does anyone have experience with P1603 transmission code on 42RLE equipped 2005 TJ?

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news but it sounds like your pcm is slowly failing. I have the same year, engine, trans and it was pretty much the same process. Started up after getting gas, same weird codes (mine actually went into limp mode), they came back after clearing them, eventually got to...

    Oil in PCU (filled with motor oil)

    Looks like you need to change your PCU fluid 😉 Definitely make sure those plugs are clean when you put them back on, Deoxit works well, it's like electrical cleaner on steroids

    Rear Fender Flare Fasteners

    Call me crazy but I actually like the plastic nuts. To the point that i bought a bunch and replaced all the nutserts with them so that my flares are now held on by only plastic nuts. No more worrying about breaking tiny rusty bolts off in the nutserts

    Custom shifter levers for automatic transmission and transfer case

    Planning on building a custom center console around the shifters/cupholders etc and I was thinking of something like this for the tcase shifter. Looks awesome

    Questions before ordering gears

    That's what I figured for 35s. After driving with my current setup for over a year I'm sure that slightly less than optimal would still be great haha

    Questions before ordering gears

    I will be going with 5.13s. However if I do eventually go to 35s, I would imagine that with 5.13 I'd be a little undergeared. The calculator is showing that there isn't that big of a difference in rpms between 33s and 35s with 5.13. So will I be alright keeping the 5.13s if I do get 35s in the...

    Questions before ordering gears

    Thanks, I was somehow completely unaware that you could get 5.13s for a Dana 30 lol. I'll definitely consider it since I just plugged it into grimmjeeper's calculator and the numbers look pretty good
