    Noisy rear end

    Hey guys, I’m dealing with an ‘02 wrangler 4.0 automatic. When driving starting at about 15mph I get a low sort of rumble sound that sounds kind of like noisy gears. The rumble doesn’t really get louder or quieter at higher speeds but changes the tone almost. It’s a stock Dana 35 and a bone...

    When turning my key to run without starting my oil pressure guage will climb about 3/8 up the guage then goes up to about 5/8 after starting. Could my pressure sensor be bad? Is this the dummy guage? Why does it do this

    Why is my speedometer off with stock size tires?

    I just bought a new tj, and the first thing i did before i even bought it was look at the build sheet. And saw on there it was optioned with 30” tires stock. And i was excited and it has 30” tires on it. But after a couple weeks of driving, i realize the speedometer is 3-4 mph off, and the...

    Is this worth it?

    Found a super clean 02’ wrangler at a used car dealership. It’s completely stock, beautiful factory paint, flawless interior no scratches or cracks or rips. Has the 4.0 with an automatic tranny. I plan to trade me 00’ cherokee in for it. Its listed for 16k. Is it worth that much? There is no rust.

    Time-sert or heli-coil?

    I bought a reman engine, and one of the thread fixes for the manifold broke and they need to know what it was. Im sure it is a time-sert but im sure you guys have been around these much more than me. FYI the place for some reason doesn’t know because “they use both depending on the application”...

    RPMs aren’t lining up with GrimJeeper gearing calculator

    So according to grimm jeeper my jeep should hit 60 at about 2260 rpm with 4.11 gears on 31” tires. I just replaced the speedometer gear so my speed is acurate (i tested it with a gps speedometer) and its hitting 60 at about 26-2700 rpm. This is all in 5th gear by the way.

    Seat belt replacement

    My old seatbelts are ugly, ripped up, dont retract, and are hard to unclip. Are there any factory style aftermarket seatbelts? I see ones with a button, and a clip, but but not oe style. I also would like new ones because well theyre new but also the price for used are comparible to aftermarket.

    No power!

    I am getting very frustrated with my jeep. I replaced the old engine because it had a lot of blowby, and i thought that was causing my issue of only being able to do about 65 mph tops. I know its capable of more and you cannot tell me otherwise. While it does have more power im still only able...

    Are there any aftermarket valve cover options for the 2.5?

    I am swapping my 2.5 for a brand new one, and realized my valve cover is so plain and just not very attractive. I cant seem to find any sort or nice aftermarket one that is anything more than the stock look. Even with the 4.0 there are very little options but still better than the 2.5. Does...

    Scotty Kilmer must hate Jeeps

    So im not a big fan of scotty kilmer, mostly because of how biased he is mostly for toyotas. But he posted a video today, and he basically said, no jeep has been reliable, or quality, since willys was sold to amc. What do you all think of this?

    Is this my original 2.5?

    So im suspecting the motor in my ‘97 tj is not original. My first hint was there was a few loose wires on the engine, but I didn’t think much of it. Second was my engine has low compression, especially low for a 150k miles, which my cherokee 4.0 is healthy as an ox with 220k. But what i just...
