    Good quality reman steering rack

    What brand would that be? Some say Detroit Axle are good and then some say AC Delco. However there are a bunch of negative reviews on these too. Shall I get Mopar? Or is there something else worth looking at?

    Loud knocking when turning over bumps

    The direction of the turn does not matter. Loud rattling clunks come from the driver side. It happens only when I go over bumps while turning. If the road is good or I drove over bumps straight its dead quiet. LBJ are brand new and so are the shocks. Checked tie rods and UCA for play and did...

    Brake pedal sinks all the way to the floor

    Just noticed that today during the yearly technical test. I was doing the brake tester and it was all nice and fine with the front wheels. Then we went to the rears, the rollers started spinning the tires and I started slowly depressing the brake pedal while looking at the tester dials. At some...

    What is the possible source of this leak?

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k_AJww3oU10A8aPHMxUiemBMn8cAjy9c/view?usp=sharing This is right between bell housing and transmission (oil plug can be seen there). I cannot really determine whether the spot is engine oil or transmission fluid cause of all the dirt down there.

    Wheels dragging when making U turns in full-time

    It feels kinda like part-time. I can feel and hear different wheels getting stuck and dragging for a short while when I make an U turn in full-time. Then they'll get lose and then stuck again. That's something that started happening recently. I changed the transfer box oil. Level was normal...

    Engine stalls while accelerating

    Just happened a couple of times today. RPMs also are intermittently unstable at idle. No error codes are present whatsoever. It happened shortly after filling up the tank so I am thinking it might be bad gas. I'd expect a CEL, though, in that case. I guess I will start with draining the fuel...

    Handbrake lound snap noise when pull lever but cables OK

    The first time it happened I was certain some of the cables broke. The sound was just like that and I felt the vibration of something going lose.However, both the cables were fine after that. Now it happens every other time I use the handbrake. It holds well though. However, it definitely does...

    42RLE Shift Lever Restrictions

    I was shifting form R to N today and on pressing the release button at the front of the shift lever there was a cracking sound and I literally felt something let go. Successfully shifted to N, though. Started playing with the lever after that and found out I could do R->N, N->D and D->N without...

    235/70R16 section width big enough to protect rims?

    When I got my truck it came with 235/70R16 Michelin Latitude Cross on stock rims and they were not really much wider than the rims. So in effect the tire wall and the rim face formed more or less a single flat surface and hence the rim was exposed to damage from rocks/curbs etc. So I switched...

    Steering wheel shake when braking while going downhill

    Now that's a weird one. Pads and rotors are new and I have checked ball joints and tie rod ends for play and there is none. I also rotated the tires to exclude that possibility, too. So when driving at highway speeds up to 90 mph braking is as smooth as it gets. No vibrations to the...

    How long does 3.7 fuel line stay pressurized

    I got a p0306 and I started exchanging stuff between cylinder 6 and another cylinder trying to figure out what might cause this. As part of the process i tried depressurizing the fuel line via the schraeder valve. There was no pressure in the line at all. Nothing came out at all. Not even a...

    Upper A arm locknut

    So I am replacing the front upper A arm. I unscrewed the locknut at the balljoint till it had only a couple of threads left before coming out (so that it doesn't let the A arm thrash around when the ball joint comes out) and then I popped the ball joint out. So then the balljoint could rotate...

    Front upper A-arm different across model years?

    For 07 KJ the part no. would be 52088632AC while for '06 KJ it'd be 52088632AD. Haven't really checked further back in model years. I see a single factory length (i.e. for not lifted KJs) model at JeepinByAl. I really wonder what's the chance it turns out to be different size than the...

    Inner tie rod replace on '07

    I read all the tie rod replacement topics here and it seemed a pretty straightforward task. So I proceeded to do mine and I found this: Looks like a security tab to prevent the inner tie rod from unscrewing. That picture is taken from below. What's even worse is that there is another...

    Replacement for steering rack boot bracket

    I was kinda surprised to find the brackets there are actually welded, i.e. one-time use only. I had to remove one of them and I replaced it with same width cable tie. The cable tie cannot hold it tight enough though. So the boot moves like 2mm when pulled out before getting stuck. Then it...

    At waht transmission temp does P0218 come up?

    I am getting the P0218 for the second time after some light offroading. It disappears after a couple of days of road usage. The second time I checked out the trans fluid temp at the end of the trail and it was around 200. However, the P0218 appeared at some point on that trail (I didn't look...

    Rear end knock after Ironman lift

    I've been hearing this ever since I had the Ironman springs and shocks installed. Everything else on the truck is stock. It sounds as if there is a loose piece of wood somewhere behind the plastic panels in the trunk hitting the plastic when the truck shakes. It happens only when there's a...

    245/70 R16 sway bar rubbing

    I have these installed on a gasser KJ with Ironman lift kit. I've seen multiple accounts of people using these with no lift kit at all and getting no rubbing whatsoever. However, for me they rub a lot on full lock both left and right. I got the alignment checked and it was perfect. I asked...

    215/85 r16 on 1.5'' lift and stock rims

    I am planning to go with this size tires on a 07 gasser currently sitting at 20.5'' both front and rear. I see that some people run these and have no issues. Just to be on the safe side - is there somebody that had issues with similar setup?
