    Radiator core bulging

    At third radiator install I went to a 7 lb cap. I think the caps either get tight/stuck or are out of spec. I do a lot of high altitude driving and was not sure if the 7 lb cap would be sufficient. It only sends a little coolant into the overflow tank after shutoff. No problems so far. No...

    Buying a new Wrangler soon...opinions of them?

    The offerings are dizzying. But after a LOT of digging through the confusion I concluded the same thing. Willys, not Willys Sport. 39K and change. Add $2500 for auto box. Add another $3500 for four door. Engine is start/stop. Hate those things. Expensive brand. Yikes! What's the...

    Buying a new Wrangler soon...opinions of them?

    I am thinking of buying a new Wrangler. Local dealer says they can take a deposit on an order to my specs and get the vehicle built and delivered in about 6 to 8 weeks. They say the factory is highly limited to bespoke orders like this. Looking to get a two door. Mid range of features etc...

    Water Pump Gasket 3.7L--Is RTV necessary?

    The nice write ups here on replacing the water pump indicate using RTV on re-assy. I don't recall that in the manual nor on the (same) water pump on the 4.7L in my Dakota. Do I apply RTV to the gasket on water pump installation? I may be suffering from CRS, but opinions from the field are...

    Smart Phone Dash Holder Tray ?

    Yes, you are right. Never thought about those issues. I don't use navigators. I read signs and maps. Old school. And I keep my eyes on the road. Some still do. o_O

    Smart Phone Dash Holder Tray ?

    This is what I use: https://www.duluthtrading.com/vent-commander-49706.html?cgid=gear-truck-car-organization&dwvar_49706_color=KHA#start=8&cgid=gear-truck-car-organization But instead of hanging it from the vent, I ditched the hook and used a couple of screws and trim washers to fasten it to...

    Busted the sun visor clip...Same all years?

    I busted the sun visor retaining clip. Are these the same all years? I will swing by a JY that has some Libs, but I don't know if the clips are different over the years. 02-04 different than 05-07? Any advice?

    What Compression Tester Kit do you suggest?

    Mityvac has two. The fancy one for about $97 and the simple one for $32. Harbor Fright sells a kit for about $30. But I'm suspicious of their stuff. What do you suggest? None of my old school compression testers work on the deep spark plug well engines of today. I have a 4.7 and 3.7 and...

    Italian Tune Up on 3.7L--Catastrophic or Beneificial?

    Thanks tommudd and Liberty TC. That is what I wanted to confirm by people who actually do it. It has been a routine for my other vehicles, but I was not sure if it would be OK on the 3.7L.

    Italian Tune Up on 3.7L--Catastrophic or Beneificial?

    Have you done an Italian Tune Up on your 3.7L? Did it help, or did you destroy it? Share your experience. But please omit speculation and caution from the sidelines. I am trying to assemble some real data here from Jeep owners. Thanks.

    Fuel Injector Advice Needed

    I am considering replacing the fuel injectors. 122K miles. Maybe too soon, but I like to renew stuff before it fails. What brand is currently found to be good to go with? Are there real upgrades, or to the supposed upgrades just cause more problems? Thanks

    Jacking and Lifting Point Pics

    And just as a precaution I leave the lifting jack under the front cross member with substantial weight still on it after lowering the vehicle onto the jack stands. I always try to have a third point like that just for safety. Sometimes I will stack blocks of wood etc. Three times over the...

    Jacking and Lifting Point Pics

    4695 lbs. That's about what my well equipped Dodge Dakota Club Cab 4.7L off road 4 x 4 weighs. Weight of my XJ two door loaded and equipped is about 3700 lbs. Yep, the KJ is a pig! Lots of steel in it. Looking at the crash pic album on this forum indicates these things are pretty...
