Rear Swing-Gate Flip-Glass Alignment
Thanks for chiming in @Luke . Yeah, think I'm going to have to get out the mallet and try to encourage the hinges ... or take everything apart to gain a better understanding of the design.- 03GoingStrong

Rear Swing-Gate Flip-Glass Alignment
Both @Luke . Drivers side is "slipped" down and touching the swing-gate and take a look at the ->||<- in both pictures. The glass is MUCH closer to the body pillar on the passenger side and MUCH further away from the body pillar on the driver side. So the glass needs both a horizontal and...- 03GoingStrong

Rear Swing-Gate Flip-Glass Alignment
Popped the covers and loosened two hinge screws each hinge. Unable to move the hinges to a different position, as though there is no adjustment there ... unless something is corroded up and stuck under there.- 03GoingStrong

Rear Swing-Gate Flip-Glass Alignment
@Jeremy-WI ... don't think so. Not at all worn or not worn enough to make the difference shown in the pictures. Reason I don't think a worn hinge is the problem is because with the flip glass unlatched, I can not move the glass around and see, find or feel play at either hinge pin. In other...- 03GoingStrong

Rear Swing-Gate Flip-Glass Alignment
No help whatsoever. Read the OP. "Glass and gate open and close just fine, but the glass isn't centered." I could understand how adjusting the latch might be necessary if it shifted the glass to one side or the other, but it doesn't. I tried adjusting that latch (see the OP) and it had no...- 03GoingStrong

Rear Swing-Gate Flip-Glass Alignment
The flip glass on my 03 KJ is not aligned / centered above the swing gate and I can't find any discussions or videos concerning this. Glass and gate open and close just fine, but the glass isn't centered. Wide gap at body pillar and contacting swing gate on driver's side. Little to no gap at...- 03GoingStrong

PCV Valve on Oil Filler Neck
No tips, just a "I've been there too". Several years ago, the passenger side valve cover gasket all of the sudden just started leaking on my '03. Lots of smoke off the exhaust manifold. I took it to a Jeep dealer for repairs. They suggested that since one valve cover gasket started leaking ...- 03GoingStrong

What did you do to your jeep today?
Warmed up today and I washed the Jeep. Just the paint. Didn't think the wheels and tires were too bad until I looked at this photo D'OH ! Bought new in '03. Jeep has never been garaged or waxed. Never been through a car wash with harsh chemicals either. Hand wash only and I can't remember the...- 03GoingStrong

42RLE Transmission : Engine rev / delay going into high gear
While I can't explain how this hack changed the shift point and while no codes were being thrown before or now ... I've got to believe there is a failed component somewhere or another or something is somehow compromised. I just don't know what it might be. The slack I found in my Speed Control...- 03GoingStrong

42RLE Transmission : Engine rev / delay going into high gear
HA !!! :D Went for another drive this morning, from a cold start of course. Definitely MUCH smoother shift and better shift points. Won't be shocked to find better gas mileage too. After topping the tank back off, preliminary indications are at least a 2mi per gallon increase in city driving...- 03GoingStrong

42RLE Transmission : Engine rev / delay going into high gear
There was a day when I would have pulled the trigger on that idea right away, and it had crossed my mind, but my thinking goes like this and I quote ... "You know you've had this problem for a quite a while with engine revving and shift delay going into top gear. It was a consistent problem...- 03GoingStrong

Dash panel battery light
O'Reilly. Pep Boys and possibly others can test the alternator (on or off the vehicle). Call your local parts house and see if they do. Make sure the "slight noise" isn't a belt slipping or something. Take a look at condition of wiring associated with the alternator and battery.- 03GoingStrong

42RLE Transmission : Engine rev / delay going into high gear
Section 8P of the 2003 KJ Service Manual describes "Speed Control" in detail but no way ties it or that cable to the Transmission. I.just.don't.know. but glad shifting has improved for me.- 03GoingStrong
