    Coolant not coming to temp after heater core bypass

    All, This morning on my way to work, one of the plastic pipes for the heater core broke at the firewall. I was able to bypass with a socket to get close enough to an auto parts store. Currently, the HC is still bypassed but with a 1/2" to 3/4" hose adapter. For the life of me, I cannot get...

    Front Track Bar - Frame Side Measurement

    I need someone to take two quick measurements for me. Can you please measure from the frame to the bottom of the trackbar mount? Can you also measure to the mid-point of your track bar end? Greatly appreciated! See attached picture.

    Track bar mount cracked, also cracked at frame

    Been having some DW. Was trying to identify my track bar to rebuild when I realized that the mount bracket is cracked and the welds to the frame are cracked as well. Does this need to come off completely, or can I get by with welding all the cracks. I’ve seen other posts where @mrblaine has...

    Rough idle at start-up and during idle for a few minutes

    03 sport w/ 4.0 Been having a rough idle at start-up when engines hot, seems to be missing. Usually can give it some gas and things pop back to normal.

    Is this a bad front output bearing?

    Need a second opinion. I have a low growl on deccel in gears past 3rd currently. It is not the transmission, I have just installed all new u joints along with a new sye and cv ds. The sound is still there. Tonight I pull the front ds, which is extremely hot to the touch, and spin the front...

    Low whirring noise on deceleration

    It’s hard to hear but it’s a low growl, almost similar to the sound of a Jake brake. Happens on deccel, louder in gear but still makes the sound with clutch in. Most noticable in 4th gear when engine braking. Is this a bad pinion bearing? Regear was done slightly longer than a year ago. The...

    NP231 tail shaft play

    With t-case out of the jeep: How much rotational play should there be when turning the tail shaft back and forth. I have rotational play in what seems to be the planetary gears. The long shaft was in good condition and obviously the new sye shaft is in good condition as well. I have a leak...

    Strange Clunking

    I have a strange clunking going on. First symptom of the issue was a pop and a whir a week ago while driving straight about 45mph. Noise went away after. Was driving home from that location and had to get towed because of a consistent clunk. Was on a big circular off ramp and the jeep was...

    Identify this spring

    Hey all, just got done replacing my clutch. Had everything buttoned up minus skid and the transfer case shift lever and noticed this spring on the ground. I did not see it during tear down. Does anyone recognize it? The only place I can think of is in the transfer case linkage. There is a chance...

    Catalytic Converter for '03

    As title states, I need new cats for my '03. Looking around, I find for the 03 just the 2 precats with a flange prior to the third cat. Looking at my exhaust, there is no flange ahead of the third cat. Therefore I would need to purchase the third cat seperately? I cannot find a reasonably priced...

    Diff Rebuild

    Just bought my first jeep. Its an '03 sport with a '44 in the rear end. There was a grinding coming from the rear end at low speed when turning. I thought that this was due to PO not adding friction modifier as they just replaced the diff fluid. My dad was nice enough to drain the diff and take...
