I was testing my transfer case with the front wheels on the Jeep on jack stands. I noticed when I engaged 4HI and 4LO the front wheels spin opposite of each other. Is this normal? I have a 2006 with stock diff's and stock np231J tcase. Thanks.

I replaced the stock dash gauges with a Holley Pro digital dash in my 2006 TJ. I noticed after this that the dome lights in the soundbar will not come on when you open the door, or when you turn the switch on the handle on the steering column. I checked fuses and relays several times, then I...

Anyone that has done an LS swap in their TJ, what intake manifold did you use? I am swapping in a 5.3L (LM7) and I am wondering if the stock truck manifold will be too tall to work in the Jeep. Thanks.

Has anyone purchased a transmission from a company called "QualityUsedTransmission" before? How was your experience with them? Thanks.

2006 with the 2.4L, manual trans. I was removing the crankshaft position sensor and it broke off in the block. Any suggestions for getting the rest of it out???

I’ve got my 2.4L on a hoist and need to remove the flywheel before bolting it to the stand. I have the clutch plate removed but need help/instructions on how to remove the flywheel. I don’t see any bolts, just a plate that the clutch disc came off of. Photo attached. Thanks.

I am pulling my engine (2.4L) and having issues getting it to separate from the transmission. I have all the bolts out from the bell housing to the engine, but when I jack up the engine hoist it doesn’t seem to separate. Any advice? Thanks.

I’m pulling the engine out of my 06 (2.4L) and have all the bolts removed from the transmission bell housing that attaches to the engine, but one on the driver side near the top. How the hell do you get this last bolt out? There isn’t any room to get anything on it and turn it. (6 speed manual...

Just as the title says, for some reason my 2006 2.4L will start wide open and stay there. I hit the gas and no change , I have to shut it down because it sounds like it will just keep revving wide open and do some damage. I recently had to take my valve cover off to replace some camshaft cap...

I have a 2006, 2.4L, manual trans, and 244,000 miles on it. I have been noticing a ticking noise from the engine that now has turned into more of a knocking or banging sound. I am wondering if anyone can give advice or ideas as to what the cause is just by hearing it on the attached video. I...

Anyone swapped out their 2.4 for a 4.0? Is it even doable for a DIY’er?

I recently changed out my tie rods, drag link, and front track bar. I noticed a little vibration when I was up around 45mph, but not bad. Then I changed out my front springs and noticed the vibration got worse and seemed to happed when braking. Now just got done changing out the rear springs and...

I am replacing the track bar on my '06 and the new one wont seem to line up into the frame rail bracket bolt hole. I think somehow something on the front end became misaligned possibly when removing the old one. I have tried turning the steering wheel back and forth which seemed to have gotten...

I have recently put 31” tires on my 06 and other than Rancho 5000x shocks, it is stock. I don’t like how close the fenders are to the tires, especially in the front. What are my options other than a full suspension lift? I really don’t want to have to swap out my Rancho shocks either. Thanks.

I completed the ZJ tie-rod conversion on my 2006 yesterday , replacing both the tie rod and drag link. Afterwards I noticed my steering wheel is off-center (turned to the left) while my wheels are straight center. I took measurements before hand and installed the new parts to the same. Any...

I ordered all the parts to perform the ZJ tie rod conversion and was wondering what ya'll recommend for a grease gun and grease to use? Thanks.

It looks like I have a leaking steering gear box. Is it worth it to try and rebuild it or am I better off just replacing it with a new one? Is it difficult to replace? Thanks.

I have an '06 - 2.4L with 6-speed manual trans, engine has 244,000 miles on it. I changed my transmission fluid yesterday and noticed a pile of silver sludge on the drain plug - photo is attached for reference. Is my transmission on its way out , or already pretty much shot? Thanks.
