    CB radio not receiving

    Hey all, I recently picked up a Uniden pc78xl cb radio from a garage sale and it's not receiving, from what I can tell. It is confirmed to transmit.

    O2 sensor or PCM?

    Currently wrestling with a silly little TJ. (97) Had O2 sensor codes and rough idle with loss of power before engine reached “closed loop” temps. Replaced O2 sensors (with the ones recommended by the updated O2 sensor thread) and it ran fine. Drove about 1800 miles then bang O2 codes again...

    Lift and Tires

    I have a 2000 2.5L 4Cyl. Running 31” on stock lift (I think, bought it that way). Tires are almost done so I was looking to upgrade.

    32RH Shifting Issue

    I have a 32RH in a 2001 4.0. I’ve had a recurring gremlin that I just can’t fix. The issue is essentially that it won’t stay in 3rd gear under certain conditions. It will shift into 3rd and coast in 3rd just fine. And it seems to be shifting just fine. But under any sort of throttle, even just a...

    2.5l Serpentine/accessory Belt Squeal

    Howdy! I just finished replacing the timing chain on my 2.5l and about a week after reassembly, the belt started to squeal. I noticed that it didn't matter the outside temp, but mainly happened when the car was at operating temp. It has an intermittent tea-kettle like squeal that will last about...

    Hi everyone, My 98 TJ has recently been stalling when dropping gears. I’ve noticed that the revs would drop down to 0 when I go down gears, especially down to 2nd and 3rd and then would stall. Ive started with the easier fixes first so I’ve replaced the oil pressure sensor, spark plugs...

    Down the rabbit hole (not the transmission after all)

    Borrowed my buddies truck and got the jeep back to my house. Will drive on/off the trailer, seems to be running fine. Can’t pinpoint where the fluid came from under the jeep, other than I know it’s the transmission somewhere. It looks like where it mates to the transfer case? It’s hard to see...
