    Cause of gauges to be all over the place?

    I’m really not quite sure how to explain this. My no start in park issue is persistent. I recently had a mechanic replace my NSS which didn’t fix the issue. I came out to the Jeep after work Monday to a dead battery, completely dead. I blamed this on the radio since smoke came from behind it...

    Key stuck in the ignition / no start persists

    Getting the Jeep back today after having the brake line fittings rot away. I had them replace the park/neutral switch with a new one to see if it will fix the no start. I shut it off after pulling up to the gas pump at the shop and low and behold, no start in park, just in neutral. My key is...

    TJ woes part 2

    I think I’ve made a post here titled “Jeep TJ woes” Well here’s a solid part 2.. My lazy ass had the mechanic do the water pump etc. Jeeps running fantastic, runs cooler, just sounds a little louder with the new fan. Okay by me, I got it back Tuesday and was really happy to have it. I get to...

    Few questions before cooling system maintenance

    Hey all, got the new Bosch fuel pump in and the Jeep is starting good again. Keeping fingers crossed on the longevity of it, otherwise we’re cutting in an access panel in the trunk. I’m sitting on a new Mopar water pump and Hayden fan clutch, tstat, etc. My radiator was replaced with a Mopar...

    Would you lift this Jeep or cut your losses?

    Going to try and keep this short. I’ve dumped a considerable amount of money into this Jeep, and cutting my losses would mean really cutting my losses. Always used Mopar/OEM whenever I could. I like the idea of knowing what’s in the Jeep. I do 80mph down the highway and it’s a great daily, but...

    Alternatives to Delphi fuel pumps?

    Hey all, Jeeps been running great these last few weeks. 3 EVAP leak codes are gone. I got it back after having the frame done and my JKS 1.25” body lift just arrived in the mail today. Pretty excited about that. What I’m not excited about is having a hard start issue again. I replaced my fuel...

    Scored a soft top but what brackets am I missing?

    Picked up this stuff today for $200. I didn’t even necessarily want the tube doors but for the price I wasn’t gonna say no. They’re bestop element tube doors. Almost got a swing out bumper with the jerry can and hi lift mounts, but the guy sold it on me after I said i’d come grab it after work...

    Jeep front and rear end/suspension overhaul parts

    Hey all, Jeep is at the shop right now getting it’s last round of frame repairs. Granted my Jeep isn’t a total rotbox beyond repair, I’m looking to spend another $1000 or so including the cost of a good frame strip/POR15 coating. I figured since the frame is being all fixed, I’d like to refresh...

    Who here has been riding on frame patches for a few years?

    Hey everyone it’s been awhile. Jeep runs solid now but it’s still sitting on two more frame patches needing to be done, by the rear trailing arms. It’s getting decently bad the more I drive it, and the arch and spring perch is starting to catch up. I’ve already had the center sections done - one...

    Wiper motor wiring issue?

    Hey all, it’s been about 500-600 miles since my head gasket was done and the Jeep is running great. Aside from my wipers going out a few days ago. I figured it was the wiper motor. To be on the safe side, I followed the wiring diagram and the service manual testing for it. I found no loss of...

    Cracked vacuum hoses, what else should I replace?

    I’m going to replace these cracked connector whichamacallits on the Jeep. When they did my head gasket they must’ve cracked them. I don’t want to pay more to have them done. Anything else I should go ahead and replace? The one going to the tank looks like it’s been done before. The connectors...

    P0442 and P0455 codes with misfire

    Hey all, after getting my head gasket the Jeep has decided to troll me again. I got a p0442 code a few days ago and today popped up the p0455 code, major evap leak. I’ve always gotten the p0442 code and it’s gone away on its own, but never the p0455 code. The Jeep also hesitated a little at a...

    Recommendations on new head? And another question

    Hey all, I made a post a week or two back about my oil cap being milky and ending up seeing coolant right between the 3rd and 4th cylinder. After much debate I’ve decided I’ll be doing the head with the help of a friend who’s done the head gasket on a bunch of subaru’s and other cars. Whether or...

    Is a milky oil cap anything to worry about?

    Looked at my oil today. Noticed the cap was milky, I use 10w-30. Jeep runs and drives fine, I did lose a little coolant over a 6 month period but I also overheated it for no more than a quarter mile a few weeks ago. This is how it looked right after driving around 10 miles. Oil level is normal...

    Wiper motor wiring diagram and another question

    Hopped up in the Jeep today and went to wipe some frost off before work. The wipers moved about an inch before stopping and not working. The sprayer still worked, but the wipers didn’t move. Didn’t work 10 mins into my commute either. Got to work, shut the car. Put the ignition to on just to see...

    How difficult is it to put together a fuel pump assembly?

    I have a Delphi unit in now and it’s crap. Check valve is stuck i guess. Starting to get even harder to start than just two cycles of the key to prime it. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5337789113&icep_item=200929482343 Is this what I’m looking...

    Questions about the fan clutch & overheating

    So the Jeep has been overheating at idle about 15-20 degrees I’d say. I’ve known about this for a few weeks now but my short commute doesn’t really require any stopping so i’ve ignored it. Today it hit close to right between 210-260. Usually it smooths out once I start driving but it stayed...

    Has your Jeep ever been so cold that water condensates inside the hardtop?

    I’ve owned my Jeep almost 2 years now, never got to experience this. Sitting in my Jeep at work waiting and felt some cold run down my neck. My whole hard top is like this! Thought it was pretty interesting, now all my stuff is getting dripped on. Has anyone else experienced this? Happy commutes...

    Anyone know where I can find a Mopar waterpump and fan clutch?

    Hey all. Jeeps been overheating a tad at idle, and will creep a little higher than in the photo if I sit a bit long enough. Heat tends to get a little weak too. It’s the original water pump and fan clutch so It’s probably time they get changed out, I’m about to hit 142k. Once I drive for a bit...
