    Speedometer Pinion Reset experiences please

    I believe there's a magnetic sensor pick-up in the front diff assembly. To control the speedo for different tire sizes, the adjustment is done through the radio, which acts as an input terminal to your computer. This adjustment will set the wheel/tire RPMs to correct the speed you see on the...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    What'd I do today? Well, umm....lessee- replaced MAP sensor, installed a G-Force chip, replaced assorted old, leaky vacuum lines, and oh yeah- a rear diff! It was ready to fall out on its own, so I thought I'd give it a little help. Nothing 160,000 miles can't wear out!

    After almost 2 months...

    Hey, I sing that song for my Libby- she's now on her 2nd engine after 148K miles. She's in too good a shape for the scrapyard, and for all I know, she may be the last vehicle I'll be driving. After the engine went, I knew she had a 2nd wind coming. So now she's still rolling down the trails and...

    Transmission repair options

    Every time I see posts about transmission problems, I cringe. Sorry these problems keep haunting you guys, but I'm glad I made the right choice and went with a 5 speed stick, much to my wife's displeasure.

    Riding with rear hatch open

    After 11 years of life, I guess it's time for those gas struts to go....replaced front and rear, and they were on sale at a stealership. They were cheaper in NJ than NY. Go figure!

    Riding with rear hatch open

    Did a town run with all the windows down. Works great. Nice breeze, and no buffeting! Air movement was as though driving in a convertible. I have a stick, Yellocoyote, so the park thing won't work for me. I'll have to see if I can pop the rear glass with the engine running, and if the e-brake...

    Riding with rear hatch open

    I always wondered about riding around with the rear hatch open. I'd only consider it around town, though. I saw one fella driving down the highway with the rear hatch open on a Grand Cherokee, and it was flapping all over the place. I thought it was gonna rip off. I tried to open my hatch while...

    Roaring noise in 4wd?

    ctlberty- Yes, there is a chain inside the transfer case....but I don't think it can be adjusted. I didn't realize when first purchased, and found out about it later on. If I had my way, I'd get one of those nice Atlas transfer cases. Now, THOSE are helical cut gears. Good luck, and I know this...

    Key stuck in ignition (and the fix)

    Whoever the manufacturer is, they are probably under contract to make most, if not all of the shift assemblies for GM, Mopar and the like. My wife's Limpala had problems with the key. A friend of mine had similar prob with his Impala, too. Except he, being mechanically inclined, ripped his whole...

    Chevette

    Super 'vette! Brings back memories of my 1st new car...'84 Chevette- and yes, I drove it like I stole it! (4 speed stick) Had 130K mi on it, and I passed it on to my nephew for his 1st car....didn't even get a 'thank you' when I handed him the keys.....I wonder why?

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Had to replace the old mill with a fresh one. Somehow the anti-freeze was being "consumed" by the engine without smoking out the tailpipe. Ended up frying the engine on the Palisades Interstate one night....and that was all she wrote. If the body wasn't in such great shape, I probably would've...

    NOISES Jackie- I hope it's not still making noises after leaving the city limits?!? If you only heard the clunking when going over the pot holes , that's one thing.....if it still makes noise now , then that's trouble for sure! #-o
