    Brake lines

    Next month i'm going to be doing some suspension work (Shocks, springs, rear uca, as well as a re-gear) and I'd like to swap in some braided steel brake lines. What would you all recommend for an upgrade kit, or just a place to get the parts I need?

    rear upper control arm, toast?

    Definitely worth replacing while you're under there. I'll be changing mine next month when I put in the new coils and shocks. The ball joint is just about shot, makes a nice clunk sound on the 2-3 shift under light load, so it needs to go. As Tommudd said, MOPAR only, unless of course you like...

    INSIDE DOOR BOTTOM RUST 2005 kj

    Ok, reviving an old thread since it applies to my current situation. A couple weeks ago I noticed rust on the bottom of my drivers door. Upon investigation I noticed it was pushing the pinched seams apart on the back side. I'm planning to apply bedliner to the lower halves of all the doors and...

    Ignition/injector problem?

    UPDATE: Since moving the Add-A-Fuse I haven't had any issues with the engine shutting off. Out of curiosity I went ahead and swapped it back and left the fan on, sure enough, it ran for a few seconds and then shut off. Problem solved, but the mystery as to why that was a problem goes into the...

    New Head or replace engine?

    Personally, I'd go for a rebuild/new engine. I'd hate to replace the head and then a few months later have the same thing happen on the other head. I would see this as a "buy once, cry once" scenario.

    Running a little hot at idle...

    Based on my scan gauge the fan kicks on in fast around 225° in my '05, which is noticeably to the right of center on the dash. My fan is 2 speed and a while back the low speed relay crapped out, that only the second time I had seen the fan kick on in high due to the coolant temp. Replaced the...

    Ignition/injector problem?

    Did some running around yesterday, which gave me a chance to test my theory. Every time I had the fan on when turning off the engine it continued to run. As soon as I turned off the fan the engine shut off instantly. I can't come up with any reason why it happens. I'm using one of those...

    Power Steering Pump

    If you don't mind frequently replacing it get any of the ones rock auto has. Anything on the engine it's best to bite the bullet and pay for oem.

    Difference between fenders with painted/unpainted fender flares?

    Fit should be the same, mine is textured plastic, no paint. Painted fenders look just like the rest of the Jeep.

    Ignition/injector problem?

    Think I may have found the problem, though it will take a little more scientific testing to be sure. Drove home yesterday, and it shut off just fine. This morning it did it's funny business again, HOWEVER, this morning when I shut it off I had the fan for the trans cooler turned on. When I drive...

    Ignition/injector problem?

    Connections are all good, terminals clean. On another post it was suggested to swap the ASD relay out. Did that for the drive home yesterday and it shut right off. I'm going to leave it like that for a few days to see if that's the issue, since the problem has been intermittent.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I'll try this on the drive home. It's nice enough to have all the windows open.

    Ignition/injector problem?

    Added a bigger trans fluid cooler with fan, but I used the wiring I already had in place for my LED fog lights. Same switch, same grounding point. All the lights are working, I'll have to wait until I get home to check the rest.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Took apart my ignition to clean the contacts, in hopes of figuring out why it sometimes runs for 3-4 seconds after turning/removing the key. No luck, it did it again this morning.

    Ignition/injector problem?

    Did it against this morning. I pulled the ignition apart yesterday, cleaned up the contacts and put fresh dielectric grease on them. I pulled the ASD relay yesterday, contacts were clean on the outside. I knocked it around a little, in case something was sticking. I've got nothing at this point...

    Ignition/injector problem?

    Did it again today when I got home. I've been watching for it to see what everything does. Turned it off 1 click and the gauge cluster turned off as if the engine shut off, but the engine continued to run for about 4 seconds. I thought maybe the ASD relay was sticking, but I think if it was the...

    Ignition/injector problem?

    Had an interesting occurrence just now. Got to work, parked in my usual spot, ran the trans cooler fan for about a minute and then shut the engine off. But, after turning to that first click the engine ran for about 4 seconds before stuttering and stopping. I turned it all off, pulled the key...

    8.25" Ring gear question

    Ok, I was thinking they were either all27 or all 29. Not sure if that's sarcasm, but based on your edit I'm guessing no. I can't imagine the holes would be threaded, so it would basically be a clearance issue. I've never torn down a differential before, so forgive my ignorance, but is it...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Took 4 and a half hours to install a trans cooler due to my hardlines starting to pull out of the flex hose end fittings. She's all good to go now.
