    My 1991 wrangler has got me stumped

    It's the capacitors in the PCM.

    Safe for Yellow Metals GL-5

    The manual is wrong. It was supposed to say GL-4. Jeep also says you can use 10W-30 synthetic oil now. Personally I have used Red Line GL-4 and am now using syn 0W-40 in it and I can't tell any difference in the two.

    Rubber Floor Mats

    I've got the Quadratec ones in mine in the front. You can check out the pics on their site. They are the same as Bestop.

    YJ restoration project (air in fuel line?)

    Yes, the sock prevents big stuff from going through the pump. That box is to prevent fuel from sloshing away from the pump while cornering, etc.

    YJ restoration project (air in fuel line?)

    You should have dropped the tank and cleaned it out. No telling what was in there. Pull the fuel pump back out and see if the pre filter is clogged. If it's not spraying gas out the schrader valve when you press it with the pump running, no way it's going to run.

    1994 4.0 manual YJ not going into gear

    Not sure what the squealing is, but the issue getting it into 1st and reverse is usually because the input shaft is turning when it shouldn't be. Clutch not releasing or it also seems to be an issue with high mileage AX15s. Not sure of the exact cause.

    YJ won't start

    First flip the distributor 180 deg. Easy and quick.

    AX15 transmission fluid recommendations?

    You can get a conventional GL-4 at Summit Racing etc. You can get GL-4 Redline syn many places, but it is $$$. You can use a GL-5 only if it states yellow metal safe. Jeep states you can use a 10W-30 synthetic. Personally I have 0W-40 synthetic in mine because that's what I use in the 4.0.

    Loss of power when off-road

    Probably either a weak fuel pump heating up, or a coil going out when it gets hot. On mine, the coil would get weaker the longer I drove it. Eventually if you floored it, or loaded it down, it would just cut off like a switch. The fuel pump felt more like hitting a rev limiter, ran rough and...

    Compatible steering column for 95 YJ 5-speed

    It's a GM column so there should be plenty of them out there.

    Whistling Noise Coming from Engine

    Or a vacuum leak. Check all the vacuum hoses and elbows for cracks and splits.

    Crankshaft end play

    That sounds like it should work. I'd replace the timing set too. Sounds like the chain is worn.

    Crankshaft end play

    I would guess tq converter pushing on it base on this. If the transmission cooler lines have been pinched or crimped, excess pump pressure can cause the converter to act like a hydraulic ram, continuously jamming the crank forward. If the vehicle in question has undergone an engine...

    Crankshaft end play

    So, was the wear from the crank being pushed forward?
