    250A Alternator?

    If you put the regents in a "Stratacooler" or some cooling block with some temperature buffering capacity (in the freezer too) they'll be fine for quite a while if there is a modest disruption. If you won't be actually running the equipment while moving it might be easier to get a small...

    Valuation opinions?

    Around my area (North Central MD) it would be around 9-9.5k private party sale. That's assuming it has the standard Limited equipment and factoring in it's 2WD.

    RUBBER or VITON O- Rings?

    Use the Viton. Better oil/chemical resistance. I don't think plain rubber are recommended for much of anything anymore. Strange reference linked below but seems legit. reference

    Transmission scare VLP 42RLE

    The transmission service is a good idea but if the trouble comes back (dash lights too) I'd suspect the C2100. Did you check the voltages at the terminals? Battery may be fine but the connection may be flaky/poor. Especially when you saw the light show come and go when on rough roads. Might...

    Random wires?

    Probably for this... :rolleyes:

    A/C pulley removal.

    I used a smaller three jawed puller. I have a set with three sizes and used the smallest. I'm sure there are better ways. It was a tough fit but the pulley/bearing is not a super tight press fit on the compressor housing.

    What engine to put in my KJ?

    Haven't personally used them but this place has a pretty good rep around me: https://www.powertrainproducts.net

    Help! Need to remove radiator 04 Liberty

    If you're replacing that line then I'd just cut it up to get it out without disturbing the radiator or AC condenser. If you're following the same route with the replacement then things get difficult. Can you route the new one a different way safely/protected?

    OH dear did it this time

    I'm looking forward to an update from you, Tom. I'm in need of new tires on my 98 Ranger. My Destination ATs are about 2x their treadlife based on mileage. They actually don't look terrible... yet.

    Stuck Getting Engine In

    I'd worry the TC got pulled out slightly and unseated when the engine was separated. Not sure about these newer ones but the old time TCs would go in three stages. You just spin it clockwise while pressing in slightly and it should go in a small bit if it isn't seated. I think the fluid flow...

    Stuck Getting Engine In

    You sure the TC is completely seated? I don't remember mine moving at all. I just jacked up the ****** to meet the engine as I dropped mine in. Did it solo too and I'm not that talented. See the yellow trolly jack and blocks of wood in the attached.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Mine was a 77 Pinto. Many long trips in that thing laoded to the gills. Speedo only went to 85 but it would do it. 2.3L 4 speed manual, manual brakes, no power assist steering and the possibility of bursting into flames at any moment... Kinda like the KJ in that regard :ROFLJest:

    Strange Acting This Morning.

    You've got one of those new fangled kjs. :icon_lol: Not sure how your ETC works. My old timey 02 doesn't have any of that fancy stuff I guess. When my TPS went 5-6 years ago it just ran like crap and I got a code that said my TPS was crap. Easy fix. Wish I could remember the exact code but...

    Strange Acting This Morning.

    Couldn't the P2174 be the MAP sensor? Are the connections tight?

    Coolant issues?

    Was the level High? When my HG went if I checked the oil right after driving it would be an emulsion. If it sat a while it would just look like oil but overfilled (oil floats).

    Coolant issues?

    There was no puddle where it was parked? I'd check your oil and see if it looks like a milkshake or if the level is way overfilled.

    Sonnax, any thoughts?

    Alright back on topic. Sonnax made a noticeable difference. 80 mile round trip to and from work and definite improvement. Shifting is firmer and no flutter when on slight incline on highway. It seemed to be slipping a bit but I'd say slipping has been eliminated. Not a huge difference but I can...

    Sonnax, any thoughts?

    Ouch just found the firing order diagram buried deep in the minutia and bank one is against the firewall. That sucks bigtime. I'm gonna have to go on a diet to get my chubby arms in there. Murphy's law of auto repair lives on.
