    Few more questions from the FNG Jeep'er...

    For storage, I got a tote with a lid, and a small ratchet strap, put Jumpy cables, and a few other things in it, and used the tie downs in the back to keep it in place. Thought I had a pic, can't find it. For the trans, I wouldn't spend the money on a flush. Just get the SeaFaom cleaner, run it...

    Found the problem. Someone forget to re-connect the vacuum hose for the power brakes. All's good now.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Finished the new rad hose install, and filled it with Zerex G-05. Fired it up and it went fast idle, then settled around 2k. Not sure what to do next. Had battery disconnected, didn't think I touched the skinny pedal, but maybe. Disconnected it again, waited 30 min, started it, and 2k...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    That's about what they cost me, $31 & $44 with free shipping. Most of the local parts stores, (AutoZone, Advance, NAPA, Orielly's) didn't even have a listing, or had to order it. If I gotta wait, I'll order it online, shipped to my house, and probably cheaper! The 4cyl is only in 6% of Jeeps, so...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I finally found radiator hoses for my 4cyl. Talked to my buddy at the Dodge stealership, "$135ea:favorites68:", "not in stock", "not available", "contact vintage parts"!?!?!?! He gave me some part numbers, and I crossreferenced them on a couple sites until I found Continental (Good Year) part...

    You'll put your eye out! Good news, I sold the 3/4 ton Dodge Diesel today. That means the Jeep has a long time home.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Finished the timing belt, and even got the valve cover gasket done. :mexsmoke: Had to remove the entire intake. It's supposed to split apart, but I couldn't find out how. The gasket kit even comes with upper and lower gaskets. Started it up for a couple minutes, just to make sure it would. No...

    Help! Removing intake on 4cyl.

    I need to remove the intake on the 2.4l to get at the valve cover. Does the intake split, or do I have to remove the entire thing? All the way down to the injectors.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I STARTED replacement of the timing belt and water pump. Who knew it would be so hard to get at the bolts on a 4 cylinder? It's apart right now, I'll get the parts swapped in the morning. then put it back together. While it's in the garage I'm going to change the valve cover gasket too, it...

    how hard is it to replace a rear axle shaft?

    ^^^This^^^ Axles don't bend easy, try the wheel on the other side, and see if it still wobbles.

    Door Vin sticker on a 2005

    All the info on the door sticker is in the manual, you have found that in it's little hiding place, haven't you? After all, how often does anyone even look at that sticker?

    Moving backwards uphill

    It's normal for almost every unmodified, automatic trans vehicle. It's so you don't have to stand on the brake at every stop to keep from creeping ahead. Just imagine what would happen when you're facing downhill. Solution is as posted, just give it a little gas while holding the brake and...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Yes, often around airports or docks for boats. Since I switched to ethanol free my mower and other small engine stuff runs way better.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Got tickets via Orbitz, just under $600ea round trip to Erie to Anchorage. Select your date and then select dates near your selected. For about 2 weeks either way from when you want to go, they have lots of options. Don't grab first one, they change. We rented the RV from A&M rentals, $150/day...
