    Timing advance and distributor rotor

    There is a common thread as you stated.

    Timing advance and distributor rotor

    "These are all general numbers, not specific to the jeep engines, but they are generally typical." That is exactly what I said. I am happy to see someone else agrees lol.

    LOL! Fair enough!

    It's $60.00 for a year, that's .16 cents per day.

    Timing advance and distributor rotor

    Maybe the model. I use it for many applications and most recently for a Jeep JL. It's fantastic. Full-color, detailed schematics so you’re not shooting in the dark when tracing wires, testing sensors, or fixing electrical issues. TSB's that are super helpful. Torque values, fluid capacities...

    Again, if the OP wants to use the FSM so be it. I do not.

    Shocks with overlapping ranges

    If your Jeep always sits at 3” of lift, the 1–3” shocks are probably the better option for proper bump stop alignment and ride quality. If you prioritize maximum articulation and have the clearance for the extra compressed length, the 3–4.5” shocks could work, but you’d need to check bump stop...

    Ok then the OP can get the FSM. ALLDATADIY is updated with easier to read instructions, illustrations, all TSB's, diagnostic trees and much easier to read diagrams.

    No, not the FSM, this is just based off of my experience. If you want something very similar to the FSM but don't want to pay the high price, I suggest ALLDATADIY. It's an outstanding and thorough source that practically mirrors the FSM. These are good baseline numbers (I think) but you can use...

    2004 Rubicon Steering Issue

    The intermediate steering shaft has a U-joint near the firewall and another closer to the steering box. These can develop binding or excessive play, especially after a lift. Have someone turn the steering wheel while you watch the shaft for any sticking, binding, or delayed movement. Steering...

    2004 Rubicon Steering Issue

    Very well could be the issue. Honestly, I am hoping it is that way you found the fix lol

    2004 Rubicon Steering Issue

    After installing a lift kit, the steering geometry can change, especially with an adjustable front track bar. If the track bar is not properly adjusted, it can cause misalignment in the steering linkage, which can lead to the steering catching or having a delayed response in certain turns, as...

    "Check gauge" but only when it's cold and disappear when I turn off and on the car

    Sure thing, Let me know what you find out and we can go from there if the issues persist. Have a great day!

    "Check gauge" but only when it's cold and disappear when I turn off and on the car

    Faulty Oil Pressure Sending Unit: The most likely issue could be with the oil pressure sending unit (sensor), which measures the oil pressure and sends this information to the gauge. If the sending unit is intermittently failing, it could cause the gauge to behave erratically, especially after a...

    Timing advance and distributor rotor

    I do not but the Expected timing advance readings (Degrees BTDC) should be as follows: Idle (Warm, No Load): ~10°–14° BTDC Cruising (~2,000–3,000 RPM, Light Load): ~20°–30° BTDC Full Throttle (WOT, High Load): ~15°–22° BTDC These values can vary slightly based on engine load, altitude, fuel...
