    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Often times with just about every car manufacturer, they are listed as one time use parts. If its been out a couple times you may want to consider replacing it......especially if you are reasonably sure you tightened it the first time

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    The top one is for the 3.7L and the two lower are part number for the diesel. I opted not to go for a severe duty, since it would be too much for winter driving here, but didnt want the standard duty one. Our temps topped out around 30 celcius on the pacific north west (in the city)and it was...

    Put in a new fan clutch. Nothing wrong with the original, aside from being 20 years old and I want my AC to be colder at idle:D. New Hayden one is quite a bit louder, but it is also the heavy duty one and not the standard duty one. aesthetically the factory and the Hayden look very similar.

    Stripped belt tensioner bolt ?

    Also try tapping the socket deeper. That can do wonders. 12 point sockets are evil. Use them only when you have to. They will round bolt more often than you'd think. 6 point give the best fit. You can also try an imperial 1/2 6 point socket. Its slightly smaller than a 13mm. I hate all imperial...

    Valve Stem Seals - 15w50

    You may want to try a conventional oil if you haven't already. It will be in a way thicker than a typical 5w40 (really depends on the spec though)synthetic and still maintain correct viscosity for the vehicle 15w50 could contribute to more cold starts engine wear and you will definitely not a...

    Rear differential pinion seal

    Yes the Chrysler 8.25" does have a crush sleeve. best practice is to replace the crush sleeve. It acts almost like a lock ring by keeping tension on the set up to prevent the nut from backing off. If you decide to re-use it, you will need to increase the pinion nut torque by about 10 ft lbs ish...

    Harmonic balancer is common on those 4.0L engines. See if it's separated.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Ok I looked up the bushings and there are 3 part numbers available. 52125391AC is the updated part number to the one that is in your vehicle. I'm not sure what size the other two part numbers are, but I expect it could have to do with 4wd vs 2wd or nitro vs liberty, performance package, etc...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Factory ones were made by Dana and went in a lot of vehicles. Clutches are a wearable component, and are definitely a rebuildable component. There is good money in it for manufacturers vendors and shops. LSD'S aren't a magic bullet, but they do contribute a meaningful Improvement over open...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    First real opportunity to test out the clutch LSD in the rear and the truetrac torsen LSD in the front. The rear performed amazingly, really feel the bite when it engages. Hard to say about the front, since I think it would be more of a factor when cruising down the super dry roads, but that...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Just remember timing chains are most likely to jump sprockets on deceleration. Just don't do any big engine braking and it's less likely to skip if you tensioner isn't good or you have poor oil flow.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Thats before and after the load leveling shocks. HD front and rear springs are always in and the rear sat lower than the fronts. When you hit a speed bump with the HD front you know about it. They dont like to compress at all. If I were to do it again I would have gone HD rear and medium front...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Get some Monroe load adjust rear shocks (for dodge dakota) if you find your front end is too high. I got the HD front and rear springs and the rear are not as strong as the fronts even when factoring the engine weight. It stopped the sag when full of camping stuff, wood and boat.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I did a few months back, I think another person did one since that time. The hardest part is finding the front ring and pinion set. Part numbers were listed in the last persons thread. The rear diff ring and pinion is super common and cheap. The front is much harder to find because the front...

    Hood nuisance - just venting

    Sound like it could be a sticky release cable inside the housing. If the latch and hood release handle itself is good, replace hood release cable.
