    4x4 Questions

    Take a look at the 4WD shifter...if it says 2HI-4HI-N-4LO, it's an NP231J. If it says something else and has five positions (all the above plus a 4WD FULL TIME position) it's an NP242.

    Are JBA a-arms necessary for alignment ??

    Just make sure you DO get an alignment ASAP after putting the lift in. Sage advice.

    New New York State License Plates

    Update on this if anybody is interested... They are no longer requiring you to upgrade to the new plates but they still will be phasing them in with new and renewed registrations. So we'll all end up with them eventually, they just aren't forcing anyone to upgrade until they have to renew...

    Renegade ghetto rack/cross bars for 2" roof rails

    To the OP, did you have to cut those "T" fittings to fit around your factory roof rails? If so, how? Sawzall?

    20 Lug nuts for $18.95???

    Anybody have any experience with a good quality lugnut that WILL NOT rust? I'd like to hear from some people in the rust belt like myself, not someone in Arizona or Miami. I paid Sears $60 for 20 new aftermarket lugnuts when I had my Cragar's mounted. Six months later they're rusted to hell. I...

    Misfire, lose of power, wont rev past 3,000

    Mine did that. Simple fix for the problem...a new engine. Just kidding...I have no idea what could be causing your problem. The guys have already given you the advice I would have. But it is funny, the symptoms are exactly the same as mine, minus the knocking and milky oil.

    I want Sat. radio

    I used one of these to hardwire my XM receiver. It plugs into the CD changer port of your factory radio. Sound is clean and nice. Just a suggestion...

    Knocking, power loss, flashing CEL...f**k

    I knew you couldn't let this saga end without saying something about that. :) I plan to decrease my oil change intervals, fear not.

    Knocking, power loss, flashing CEL...f**k

    Got it back. Ended up putting a used engine with 43k miles in it. New clutch. Engine guy said my old one had bad rings, blown head gasket and the crank was scored badly, also the timing chain(s) were ready to give up. New motor and clutch are great, it's like having a brand new Jeep. Only...

    Yeah I have a bona-fide engine guy doing it, not my usual mechanic. The guy comes highly recommended. I'll let you all know what he finds.

    I never had any leaks or ANY signs/symptoms that this was coming. I know enough to heed warning signs, especially on a daily driver that I depend on very much. Anyway, she left on the flatbed about a half hour ago. Got an engine guy that's going to tear it apart and rebuild it. I'll let you...

    Tjkj is going to blame this on my lackluster maintenance, I just know it. Truth is, I'm pretty good about oil changes. This all happened about half way between oil changes. Oil is full. Just milky. Purolator filters. Temps in my area have been below zero degrees farenheit for several days...

    Yep I'm calling it quits. Time of death 112,690 miles. Father in law owns a towing company and a friend of the family is a mechanic. You do the math...lol. Mechanic is on vacation until next week. Hoping to hear it's just a head gasket but with the knocking...crap who knows. Spending the rest...

    Thanks Budke. So I let it warm up in the garage. Started it up, still no CEL. Let it run for a few minutes waiting for the CEL to come on. It never did. Got almost up to normal operating temp. Knocking came back, along with a distinct singular "CLACK" every 3 seconds or so regardless of engine...

    No, I just quickly made sure there was some in there...didn't examine it yet.

    Malicious gas tank additions? Probably not I would think...who knows. I suppose a gasket leak is a possibility... Budke...stop it you're scaring the bejesus out of me! J/K I appreciate the input.

    Nope, no leaks, no drips, no smells. Of oil, coolant or otherwise.
