Only reason I ask is because on rockauto it shoes external oil cooler or not

She's finally going under the knife to assess the damage. Been sitting for a while, but it's been way too hot to get into it. Quick question about radiators, if I have the tow package, does that mean I have the oil cooler as well? When I look at radiators, it always shows that option.

Well.....let it fully cool, reconnected the battery and it started up with a few tries, BUT I walked around it and found white smoke from the tail pipe. The motor seems to run like normal, but white smoke is white smoke.

I loaned our kj to my mother for several weeks. I decided to borrow it back and do so a wheeling. I got about 15 miles on the hwy and looked down at the gauges, woops!. It was near the red danger zone! I pulled over and looked popped the hood. It was really friggin hot. Coolant bottle was...

Yes, it changes the pitch of the grinding noise. It doesn't go away, just different pitch. This is while holding the throttle steady or accelerating. Off throttle, it's too light to really hear

Will try, thanks

Just changed out both my rear wheel bearings hoping my griding noise would completely go away. It did get better, one was pretty bad, but it made this other noise much more obvious to hear. When in the rear diff, I did see some glitter in the fluid, but the gearset did not look worn. The...

Ah..yes, the grunt system. I have those tools. Thanks

Anyone know the torque spec on both sides of the DS?

So, I recently rebuilt my DS cv transfer case side, and I noticed that distinct tin can rattle sound again. I look under there and saw cv joint grease splattered in a perfect line around that end. I took it off and found this. The bolts on that side of the shaft were very loose. Not sure how...

Aired down to 18psi and went slow, but in reality, it made it through everything without much drama. I hit my front skid one time, not bad though. My friend was surprised I could get up the same stuff he was doing.....and with my AC on(he had no AC, ps, and it was 93*).

Went out to the Tuttle creek offroad park in eastern kansas, I live about 25min from it. Wanted to see what my basically stock kj would do. A friend of mine tagged along with his yj w/3" lift and general grabbers came along. I made it through everything he did. My kj has a clevis &top plate...

It is noticeable on the side with the worn bearing, the other side has nearly no movement. Thats kinda why I was concerned

Got everything to do this job, but wondering if I have another issue as well. I have a slight amount of movement with the axle in and out, very little movement. Could the carrier pin that holds the spider gears apart be worn? The axle only has that small amount of play on the right side, the...

My kit didnt come with a crimp clamp. It came with a pull strap type clamp. It sucked. I ended up pulling it off and putting a wide zip tie on it for now. Any ideas what I can do now? Would a regular hose clamp work, I remember reading here or on lost that somebody used one?
