    "Mechanical Relearn" for New Ignition Cylinder

    Or do what I did and purchased an ignition and all the door locks...keyed alike from Wolf Security. PO gave me an ignition key... didn't work on the locks...and I had to order keys for my Tuffy glove box. -Mac

    "Mechanical Relearn" for New Ignition Cylinder

    Does this sound like a vacuum leak?

    On the side of the intake manifold...drivers side... probably just in front of the brake booster, master cylinder. -Mac

    Any suggestions on what type of oil to use on a 97 Wrangler with 205k miles?

    Diesel motor oil doesn't contain diesel... it's just formulated to work better with diesel engines. A high mileage conventional oil like Pennzoil...which might only be doing synthetic blends...contains additives to swell aging seals and gaskets in the engine...this is especially important for...

    Random Misfire, No Codes

    I just replace all my dump trailer brakes and bearings. Chasing an issue where it wasn't helping out my truck much stopping. Pounded out all the old races, packed inner and outer bearings...covered head to foot in grease. Wired up the new brakes... electric... passenger side was dead. Driver...

    4.5" Rubicon Express long arm kit rides rough

    I like my Skyjacker Black Max shocks but I've blown up three. Arguably my fault...overloaded the Jeep once and didn't set bump stops the second time. -Mac

    HP Dana 30 issues

    How's the backlash? Pinion seals die. New parts aren't what they used to be. -Mac

    Scraping metal sound

    8mm or 5/16 1/4 inch socket will do it. Unless you want to make it easier and support the transmission and drop the transfer case. Then you'll need a couple more sizes. I frame and tub swapped my Jeep in a gravel driveway. I rewired a 69 K20 in the snow in front of my apartment years ago and...

    Scraping metal sound

    Well if it is the front driveshaft it'll remove itself eventually. =) That might take a chunk of the transfer case with it. Best have someone check it out. I know a couple of folks on Victoria Island in Sooke if that helps. -Mac

    Random Misfire, No Codes

    That cylinder would be slightly rich but well within tolerances. No individual monitoring of cylinders...you'd need a wide band sensor on each header pipe... racecar stuff. Nonetheless I paid for a balanced set of rebuilt factory Siemens injectors because I could and it wasn't much more and...

    Front clunking lower front suspension after off roading

    Might be a good time for a nut and bolt check and torque on all the suspension. Good find! -Mac

    A/C Pulley

    And or buy an o ring kit and a new receiver dryer. Probably less than $30 for both. Replace all the 20 year old o-rings, little oil or grease and back together. Assuming you're system is empty. -Mac

    Junkyard motor or crate engine?

    Don't forget a rebuilt engine might have a couple of months of lead time. I'd throw a head gasket at it and see what happens. -Mac

    Tuffy glovebox just installed - my takeaways

    My 97 had a Tuffy glove box. PO installed it. It rattled all the time. I spent hours adjusting tabs, lock catch, adding weatherstripping. The only way to get it to not rattle was stuff a rag in-between the box and flange and slam the glove box shut. That then had the reverse effect of putting...
