    Manual Won't Go Into Gear

    That does NOT mean you need a new trans. They haven't even opened it, how can they say it's bad. Above and beyond that, how can they say that the "grooves" in the input are not really excess material melted to the shaft from the pilot bushing? They should be using emery cloth to smooth the...

    Manual Won't Go Into Gear

    Post the pics. I doubt that it's that bad. A rebuild kit is always good, but unless you sat there grinding gears, I doubt it's that bad.

    Manual Won't Go Into Gear

    What was wrecked in trans? What you are describing means only the input shaft can be damaged, which is considerably less expensive than a complete trans

    Manual Won't Go Into Gear

    Throwout or pilot will make one hell of a racket in failure, and will not stop clutch function unless pilot has fused input to crank shaft, ot throwout has grenades, leaving nothing to push the clutch fingers....unlikely, as you would hear the pieces being tossed around by the flywheel. Your...

    Front air struts02-07 KJ

    One thought I had also had was to eliminate the front bump stop and install JBA a arms with brackets through the upper ball joint bolts and put air bags in between the arms and bump stops. This would do it.

    Front air struts02-07 KJ

    Does anyone know of front coil over air struts that will work I the KJ? I run the plow on mine, and before I go for anything else such as OME with diesel springs, I want to have adjustability. I already cross referenced lengths and replaced the rear shocks with air over shocks, and have...

    Source for rebuilt heads?

    Replace the valve seals and relap the valves. It's easy, and the tools can be rented from most advance, vatozone, and Carquest.

    Alternator and electrical upgrade can it be done??

    Well, I put a FACTORY renegade dash harness in mine (from a wrecked renegade) and adding the single wire that is different from the PDC in engine bay.... The indicator light supply wire from the BCM works. If you put a renegade cluster in (at the very least, all 02 limited gauge...

    JEEP Name Calling

    I refer to my KJ as the "mini van", "car" and "grocery getter" I love the thing, but I still won't use it for anything but dd and plowing my drive. Every vehicle I have ever owned for dd purposes has had a similar referral, as I don't even consider the vehicle to be anything but what I use...

    Alternator and electrical upgrade can it be done??

    Bolt in the renegade alternator and call it a day. It works just fine, stopped the lights dimming when using my plow with lights and heat on high.

    Weird Thing under Dash

    The legality of it would be more reasonably argued if the person defaulting payment had a leg to stand on in court. I don't condone defaulting payments. Matter of fact, the lack of responsibility people feel they have nowadays is appalling, and people who default on any payments are trash in...

    Weird Thing under Dash

    Proof of shady business practice. That is 100% illegal. No disclosure of tracking upon your person or vehicle is an offense without a FEDERAL warrant.

    Weird Thing under Dash

    Remove the gps. The dealership does not have a legal right to install an undisclosed gps transmitter in property that is no longer theirs, payments or not.

    Source for rebuilt heads?

    I have a radiator at the local core rebuilder right now. He is making a full aluminum one using mine as a template. Will not work with a 3.7, though...It will be 2x full core. That will work with the 4.7 and one pusher, one puller fan.

    Source for rebuilt heads?

    Spartans. They only use the newer 04 and up valve seats, iirc there was mention of them having a cross pin installed as well as pressed in. 25000 miles on it (friend bought it) with no issue but a crack developing in the radiator.

    Source for rebuilt heads?

    Well, my heads were advance, and came complete. Cams, cam bearing caps, lash adjusters, valves, valve seals, springs, retainers, rockers. Literally complete, reman heads with warranty (excluding overheating, for which there are caps/dry sensors that indicate overheating). Bolt them on. $400...

    Source for rebuilt heads?

    Lash adjusters and rockers make up a lot of that price. I bought a pair from advance. $800 plus $200 core. Considering that a good used 3.7 for an 02 brings $1700 and up around here, and I had $1800 into a rebuild with both heads replaced and all bearings, I did well. That was. With me...
