as a follow-up to my previous post, i found these retainers and painted using Rustoleum Nutmeg neither the retainer nor the color is a perfect match but both are pretty close.

this is a 2000 sahara. I replaced the rear turn signal bulb the other day and am now noticing other weirdness: when the lights are on: 1. the brake lights are always on unless I open the rear swing gate, then the third brake light turns off 2. the brake lights turn off when the right turn...

How do you disconnect the rear CCV Tube at the “other” end (not the valve cover end)? is it just a slip connection/do I just pull it off? Or do I loosen the nut? I tried pulling but it hasn’t come off easily and nervous about breaking something

2000 Sahara 4.0L, I6. 159k miles. 30" tires, no lift. I don't drive it on the highway often but did today and felt a vibration mostly in the gas pedal when I reached 65 mph. I want to say it smoothed out a little when I reached 70 mph but I was hesitant to go faster to test it out. The...

I've had the jeep a couple of years and plan to replace the front and rear brake pads and shoes for the the first time this summer. I've replaced disc pads, calipers and rotors on other cars (though it's been a few years) but have never touched drum brakes so that part of it is a little...

this is a 2000 4.0 I6 automatic. won't start in Park but does start in Neutral. the reverse lights are working so I suspect the gear shift cable needs to be adjusted. step 3 in the factory service manual says to "release cable adjuster clamp" so the cable can be removed from the bracket. I...

this is for a 2000 sahara with a/c. I've recently replaced the blower resistor; heater and a/c dashboard control unit (with blower switch); and got the a/c fixed. the blower works on all speeds but air only comes out of the defrost vents. I've visually inspected and none of the vacuum-operated...

this is for a 2000 sahara. The factory service manual cautions to disarm the airbag before doing any work on the instrument panel or steering column but I haven't found in the manual a description for how to disarm it. I did find instructions for how to remove and disconnect it. is this what...

This is for a 2000 Sahara 4.0L I6 automatic. My fan wasn't blowing at all so I recently replaced the a/c and heater control with this one: ac and heater control now the fan works at all speeds in the a/c and defrost positions but doesn't work at all in the two vent positions (one position is...

I need a new wiring connector for the blower switch and for the three-contact connector that is adjacent to the vacuum lines (at the opposite end of the control panel) but I'm having trouble finding the parts or part numbers. this is for a 2000 Sahara. any advice or help is appreciated. Jerry

My daughter is home for spring break with the jeep so I'm checking fluids and going over it. oil level is fine and was planning on replacing tomorrow. then checked the coolant and it looks like dirty dishwater. the coolant overflow reservoir was low and I see an oily film. Is this an indication...

inspected the inside of the frame today with endoscopic camera that Santa delivered. The frame is fairly clean where it rises at the wheels but has some scaling rust in the flat sections between the control arms. as suggested by others I'll add drain holes, try to clean it out and coat with...

Sprang a leak today on the way back from a short trip t the store. The leak is near the front approximately in line with the radiator. The transmission cooling lines at the radiator seem to be intact but I wouldn’t rule them out. What else might be leaking transmission fluid that far forward...

I've ordered the parts and plan to replace the tie rod, drag link and steering damper this weekend. I've read mention of this and just want to confirm with those who have done it: do I need to paint the new components before installing (I ordered Moog parts from Rock Auto) and should I apply...

I replaced the drive belt a week-and-half ago and it shredded on my son today (like spaghetti). all the pulleys spin freely by hand except the crankshaft pulley (which makes sense) and the a/c compressor pulley. the a/c pulley turns but not as freely as the others. the compressor was identified...

the description on the shop ticket is less than clear (to me) about what is needed and when I asked the response was "essentially the whole front end". From what I've read this is something I can do myself and would like to but I've never done anything with the front end on any car so my first...

I did a quick search but didn't find an answer. Apologies if this has been covered a million times: the owner's manual for my 2000 Wrangler 4.0L I6 automatic, calls for ATF+3 7176 transmission fluid but I'm having trouble finding it on-line. Has it been replaced with ATF+4?

as a follow-up to my new member post https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/new-jeep-owner-from-arlington-virginia.12909/ the jeep arrived this afternoon. took it straight to get safety and emissions inspections (and it passed!). now just trying to get to know it. we're super-excited about it...

Hello all, I just our bought first jeep, a 2000 Sahara I6 4.0L automatic. It's on a slow boat across the Atlantic so haven't taken possession yet. Will be for my daughter to use at college but the more I read on this forum and others, I'm starting to think I want to keep it for myself. I've...
