    odd rpm issue

    To clarify, the heat was acting up before the flush, I did the flush to verify if there was trash in my system or if it was pointing more towards blend door. HOAT was used. I will check that link out. I cleaned the IAC beginning of this year, but it probably wont hurt to do it again or just...

    odd rpm issue

    I am going to look into the P0420 code. It was there and then went away for several weeks and came back recently. I am going to inspect the plugs and wires on the O2 sensor and if it looks good I may replace the downstream O2 sensor and see what that does before replacing catalytic converters...

    If you were to replace suspension without a lift.....

    I have to replace my suspension on my KJ. I am looking at the 1.50 lift from JBA, looking at what you said earlier in the post Tommudd regarding the 925/947 springs, this probably wont raise the jeep much, which for me is fine right now, I just want it to ride better. That being said, do I...

    Rear right wheel getting hot!

    On the way back from a visit to see family today I noticed a smell slightly coming from the jeep that smelled like metal on metal but I couldn't hear anything or pinpoint the smell. It wasn't quite like burning brakes. Got home and noticed the smell more and checked the rear right wheel (...

    Trans issue. Not sure what happened

    I have the 231 case. I have been looking for some remanned ones. I like the idea of the "free" lift!

    Trans issue. Not sure what happened

    Heard back from the dealer and the transfer case is the culprit. When I changed the fluid a while back, (first time I had done it since I had the jeep and put about 6500 miles on it. The fluid that came out was black. So I am guessing the previous owner didnt think to have that serviced along...

    Trans issue. Not sure what happened

    That didn't not happen. Haha I looked under it after calling the tow company and my ride to come get me. I didn't see any fluid leaks. No hanging parts either. Waiting to hear from the dealer.

    Trans issue. Not sure what happened

    4wd. Front drive shaft is currently out. Has not been put into 4wd with that driveshaft out. If the transfer case blew would that cause the entire trans to stop? Even if it wasn't being used?

    Trans issue. Not sure what happened

    I will add some more to this, was typing the original post on my phone waiting on the tow truck. When I pulled over and put the jeep in park I didnt feel it "catch" or sound like it engaged reverse or park. Right before the pop sound and loss of trans it the bucking I was feeling felt as...

    Trans issue. Not sure what happened

    Headed to Knoxville this morning to visit a site and was going about 75 and noticed the jeep started to buck slightly. Almost like bad gas was in my. It wasn't a violent buck. I let off the gas and nothing so I pressed the gas again and it bucked some more. Decided to change lanes so I could get...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Saturday I changed out the front wheel hubs and the CV axles. It was a PA jeep, and while taken care of and has very little rust on it for being a PA car some places are just hard to get that salt out of and the hubs and axles were those places. The pass side CV axle came out with the...

    PO700 Code

    As stated, best is to get it read by a shop so they can give a better diagnosis. When is the last time your fluid/filters were changed? Mileage?

    Them's The Brakes

    the brakes arent hard at all. I did the fronts a few weeks ago and will be doing the rears in a couple weeks when I am not traveling as much. I did it in the driveway, because the place I am renting doesnt have a garage, just a carport. Its a relatively simple job, just looks harder than it...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Took her to the dealer yesterday to get the transmission fluid and filters changed. Something I am capable of doing but not having a garage and a place to jack it up properly it was just easier. Of course the service writer said my front brakes were showing signs of wear. Which made me...

    I got a video clip yesterday of it. Easier to hear it after a few seconds. This was with the engine temp almost at the first mark on the dummy gauge. https://youtu.be/-OStvZlKCRg

    engine knock can't locate

    TwoBobs, I listened to that yesterday and read through that and a couple other threads about the engine knocks. I doesnt sound quite the same. What is throwing me off is the fact that it just goes away when the engine is warmed up . And it just started after an oil change. I filled the oil...

    Grinding noise at Slow Speed since Breaks done

    I had something similar happen when I changed my front brakes and rotors a few weeks ago, it was happening on the passenger side. It happened very randomly, I would hear what sounded like grinding as well and when I let off the brake and pressed it again it wouldnt happen. I made a couple...

    AC Clutch destroyed itself...

    When mine went out my wife was driving it and she said it smelled like burning brakes to her and she thought maybe the rear caliper had locked up again. I could smell it outside the vehicle and inside when she got back tot the house but it didnt smell as strong as burning brakes.
