    Weird clicking noise on cold start

    My 02 did that clicking. In my case It was the timing chain tensioners pumping up. I changed tensioners and guides while doing an HG replacement and the noise stopped. Lash adjusters can get lazy too. Cold just makes it noticeable. 05 was pretty quiet except for the brief rattle after not...

    Replaced Transmission no start now

    I think the NSS is in the transmission. Manuals don't have one I think so if auto did you try to start in neutral? How about the ignition switch? Have you tried jiggling it a bit.

    Replaced Transmission no start now

    What year? Automatic? Neutral safety switch? Not even sure where it is though.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Do it quickly. Don't want that to pop when you're out and about. Had that happen a few years ago...

    4WD lever not working

    Probably the cable end bushing at the tcase has failed. Check out the linked thread. My 02 took the black rubber bushing 68001899aa but my 05 took the white plastic bushing (B01BX3M514). Both of mine had the 242 tcase with the full and part time 4WD. Not sure what year you have...

    Timing chain tensioner

    I used the Cloyes guides when I did the headgaskets on my 02 many years ago. The one OE guide fell apart when I disassembled for head removal. They did have about 160k on them. The Cloyes guides worked great for me.

    ABS problems after new bearing

    First thing to check is the battery (how old is it) and then then the terminal and major ground connections. Disconnecting the battery connections and cleaning well has helped me in the past. These things get real flaky if there is a weak battery of poor power/grounding. Do that first and check...

    Low speed rumbling noise

    Yeah I think I remember that one too. I believe it was a ujoint issue.

    Copper spark plugs -vs- others

    My wife's 2008 Sienna came with Iridium from the factory. We bought it new. Had them changed at about 120k. Now have 320k, so about 200k on the second set of iridiums. PITA to change but need to do it soon. Definitely wouldn't want to do that every 20-30k... Checked the 3 plugs that are...

    A/C pulley removal.

    Nope one snap ring. If the bearing are gone then the inner portion of the bearing is still stuck on the housing and the outer is sloppy from too much room to play.

    Bank 2 misfire

    Might have tweaked a valve seat so it won't close completely. Don't want it to drop completely or you'll really screw things up. This was a common issue on the very early KJs but maybe the bad HG and getting it hot added to the issue in your later 06.

    3.7L 02 vs 03 and Later Bedplate and Cylinder Head Bolt Tightening

    I did the bedplate (replaced Crankshaft) and heads (HG replacement) on my departed 02. I followed the 2002 FSM and had no issues. I would recommend doing the same.

    Air door blend issues

    You can pull the tubes off the controller knob and hook up a little vacuum pump to force the actuators to work.

    Poor heat

    HOAT is a specific chemical makeup of the coolant. Different vehicle manufacturers spec their vehicles with different types of coolant. They determine what works best for their systems. Chrysler has used HOAT for quite a while now. The issue with mixing these different chemicals is that they can...

    Poor heat

    Tstat may be stuck open. Sometimes you'll get a code for taking a long time to get up to temp but might not be quite that bad yet. On the good side, way better to run these things cold that to overheat it...

    Poor heat

    Yeah that's pretty low. Is it cold where you are? If so it sounds like Tom may have nailed it with the tstat being bad.

    I just screwed up the timing.... help.

    Yeah the manual has a pretty good description. The right side has to be physically rotated a few degrees clockwise IIRC to get the V6 mark straight up. There is a special tool to do this that fits on the cam right behind the sprocket and anchors in a little hole but maybe put a socket on that...

    Poor heat

    Doubt a couple miles will get it to temp but could depend upon where you are. Sounds cool to me if it were fully up to temp. Mine used to run about 180 to almost 200 depending upon traffic and when fully up to temp. Never checked at the heater hoses.

    Poor heat

    Change the temp setting (doesn't matter what directional mode you are in) and listen for a slight buzz behind the center bezel where the switches are located and a bit toward the right side. Might help to remove the glovebox and listen there too. My working blend door actuator motor always made...
