    AC compressor keepers cycling even when AC is turned off.

    Yep, done all that. refridgerant is 5x5. air flow is massive, until the evap frosts over obviously. if I keep the blower at 3 or 4 it'll usually NOT frost over. my solution right now is I unplug the compressor clutch in the winter. sucky part is, it'll frost over in 90deg weather! it's pissed...

    4.10 Re-gearing - 2025

    GPS is your friend here. Also that equation depends on the year. some do speed off a sensor at the transmission (or is it diff?) others that have 4 channel ABS do it from the ABS sensors. and some us are screwed and can't adjust it at all, because 07's won't let you.

    Advice on finding discontinued parts

    I'm with diesel on this one. replace the bad section with some high pressure hose and some good clamps. Alternatively, source the ends with barbs to do it "properly." They are available.

    Need to replace my 2002 KJ engine

    last time I looked, warranty was void if engine not installed by a "professional" mechanic. Personally I'd be hunting for a running parts jeep to yank an engine out of. Hell if the OP wasn't on the opposite side of the country, I'd make him that offer from the parts jeep I have here.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    well so far so good. steers better than before. still have a little play in the steering before it takes effect. inner/outer tie rods are all good. only things really left are the steering joints on the shaft, and finally the internals of the rack itself. also ordering new bolts for the rear...

    Yea Vredestein has been cropping up in a lot of tire reviews across the spectrum, and they've been holding their own. Their Quadtrac XL, which is a clone-ish of the Michelin CrossClimate 3's, and are basically 95% of the CC3s for about 60% of the price. I put a set on the kid's car, and he's...
