Your 2.4L engine has a waste spark ignition system, exactly what brand and model # spark plugs did you install? Some supposedly correct spark plugs, per some spark plug guides, will cause problems like that. Single-tipped platinums to be exact. Single-tipped meaning they have the platinum...

Duralast is absolutely the WORST possible brand for anything important or critical. The one time I had to use that brand for an oil pressure sender, on a Sunday when the dealer's parts department was closed, I had to go back to AutoZone twice more that day until I finally got one that worked...

Keep in mind that a Carfax report only (!!!) contains what was reported through official channels. It won't contain anything that wasn't reported through official channels up to and including even major work after major accidents.

See if you can't fix the vibration first, manual hubs are an expensive option to install. The first thing I'd do is remove the front driveshaft, or at least disconnect it up front and support it so it won't fall down, as a diagnostic to see if the vibration stays or goes away. Maybe it's just...

I don't want to get into a long disagreement but I've never heard anyone say they were disappointed with their 4.56 gearing for 33's and the 5-speed. 4.56 has been recommended for 33's and the 5-speed since I first got my TJ in '96 when I stupidly regeared to 4.10 for 33's instead of 4.56 that...

X2, early signs of a bit of corrosion.

Yeah that has hit me too. I don't know whether to sell it or to tell my wife to just bury me in it. :ROFLMAO:

I get that, I just believe 4.56 has been heavily recommended for 33's and 5-speeds for years for good reasons. I just don't believe the extra rpms of 4.88 for 33's are of benefit for highway cruising. And offroad the difference when in 4Lo with 4.56 vs 4.88 are insignificant. Just my opinion...

Yep new carriers, I'd go with 4.56 for your 33's. I'd only go for 4.88 if your TJ has 35's in its future.

It's not critical to replace the boot, just give that joint occasional shots of grease.

I was ready to buy it until I thought about how little I drive it now. It'd be a waste.

I was on the trail with that rig once maybe twice in JV, it was amazing.

Does this mean we have a chance of blaming the EPA on this? :ROFLMAO:

Sure but contaminated fuel is a regular cause of problems that aren't problems until they become one. Maybe Baltimore's fuel storage tanks had recently been refilled. They're investigating that possibility so it's a real possibility to those working on possible causes for the crash.

One possible source of the problem they're investigating now is contaminated diesel fuel the ship took on while in Baltimore. That could sure cause it depending on how low they were on diesel when the arrived in Baltimore.

Absolutely but that's only electrical arcing. I'm only talking about the video that showed bridge that blew up in a huge fireball that some have claimed to be the Baltimore bridge. Which, again, was actually the Russian bridge the Ukraine drones took out.

X2 exactly to P Man's above comments. Regarding Core control arms they are actually pretty fair quality. However if it's remotely $$$ possible I'd bump up one level from the Cruise to the Camp level. The reason being their Cruise control arms have rubber bushings at both ends and that...

I did see a video purportedly showing the Baltimore bridge exploding in a huge ball of fire in support of the dynamite claims. It turned out to actually have been the Russian Kerch bridge that the Ukrainians blew up. I absolutely HATE conspiracists who claim there's a conspiracy behind...

They have already extracted and posted data from the black box (VDR) recorder. The timeline of events from the VDR were read as follows: By 01.07 the ship had entered the channel. By 01.24 the ship was underway on a true heading of 141 at a speed of approximately 8 knots. 01.24:59 - Numerous...

Nevertheless you put some serious effort into making all those posts, thanks!
