Can anyone recommend a leakdown tester that for sure comes with the right adapter to fit the spark plug sockets on the 2.5L engine? I was going to get the OTC 5609 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0030EVL60?tag=wranglerorg-20 but alot of the reviews say it doesnt come with an adapter that fits the 4.0...

@Wildman @Chris Can one of you gents recommend a leakdown tester that for sure comes with the right adapter for the sparkplug holes in the 2.5l? I was going to get the OTC 5609 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0030EVL60?tag=wranglerorg-20 But reviews say spark plug adapters for the 4.0 arent long...

Perhaps. Im learning, used to take it somewhere for major stuff. That said, I'm kind of afraid to run it that long at this point with the oil loss though. Shouldn't I do something that doesn't run the risk of making things worse? Or just add oil and crank it long enough to test? Edit: my bad...

Hey guys – looking for some insight before I dive into this. Background: I’ve got a Jeep I’ve owned since 2009, with a 2.5l 4 cyl and about 120k miles on the motor I had installed in 2012. It’s always run pretty well (untill it doesnt), but lately, it’s been showing signs of something going...

Hate to be that guy and revise a 2 year old thread, but do you happen to remember what sized hole saw you used? I like the controls on the front and think it will be easier to get them out to recharge if they arent behind the steering wheel. Edit: disregard my question. I figured it out. Note...

Thanks Jerry!

I have a 2002 SE model and need help verifying which down tube will fit my rig because I am replacing everything including headers, downtube, cat, and cat back. I have extensively read on here and plan to refurbish a cast mopar manifold for the headers and ceramic coat or similar. Cat back...

I agree with what Blue said above, if the "jumping" is cyclical and seems to jump faster when you are turning faster it is likely the U joint binding. I would try the trick where you install a few washers behind your turn radius limiting screw. I learned that trick on here and it eliminated my...

Thank you!

Hey guys! I am new here. I've been lurking for a while and have gotten a ton of useful info and inspiration from the site already so thanks! I have a specific question so figured I should go ahead and create a profile. After extensive searching, I can't find a definite answer and am hoping...
