    Rebuilt 4.0 engine doesn't make enough vacuum

    Basic questions. Did you thoroughly bleed all four brake cylinders starting with the furthest one (right rear) and working forward? Any leaks? I've had brake problems and went to a dirt road, built up a little forward speed and stood on the brake pedal to see if all four wheels locked up...

    Replacing ignition key tumbler and buzzer switch

    Problem identified, solution.. well.. Tools are returned so I'll just deal with it for now. I found the key release lever will not spring to the full up position which allows the key to rotate to the run/start position. If it barely touch the lever it pops up so I can fully rotate the key to...

    Replacing ignition key tumbler and buzzer switch

    Update about the buzzer switch. It only controls the buzzer and has nothing to do with the ignition circuit. I checked the wire harness connecter along the column and all was good. Jiggled the key a few more times and got it to rotate more into the run and start positions. For some...

    Replacing ignition key tumbler and buzzer switch

    Hey all, time to ask for a little help. I purchased a lock tumbler set for my '92YJ and changed out the ignition key first. Pretty straight forward by removing the steering wheel, goofy snap ring, turn signal switch and prying the key tumbler out. This is a non-tilt steering column. The...

    Sanity Check - YJ Ownership Cost

    Not to start any flame wars but my desire is to never own anything with a carburetor again. I just bought an EGO battery chainsaw and leaf blower. Never going back :)

    Fuel smell

    When I dropped my fuel tank to fix the sending unit I had the small vent lines pop off and leak fuel on top of the tank. When raising the tank into place, make sure there's plenty of slack or else they may get pulled tight and pop off the tank fitting as mine did.

    Rear diff clicking sound from 1990 YJ

    Maybe he dropped a bearing cap off the a U-Joint and lost a few roller pins. I've had a few slip off when removing the driveshaft. They're sneaky.

    Clutch or Master Cylinder / Slave?

    Several factors to include. One is to identify what transmission you actually have and what type slave cylinder this is. My '92 has a 2.4L engine with an AX-5 transmission, all factory stock. This is what I ordered from Amazon. Many recommend the LUK kits. I've been driving with mine for...

    Bolt missing from track bar

    Is you YJ lifted? Chances are the bolt on the other end will be the same. Standby for a discussion on whether you even need the track bar or not depending on you suspension modifications.

    Fuel pressure issue

    That's a good size split in the hose

    Strange ticking noise, can’t isolate

    Check to see if the dipstick got bent. It could be taping against some rotating internal part. I've seen it happen on the 2.4L. That would be a connection to a recent oil change.

    Knock Question

    What is your oil pressure reading at idle and 2000 rpm, both cold and warm? Is the oil new and at the proper level?

    Did you replace the fuel filter?

    Welded Nut

    One option may be to use a Riv - Nut. Cut the head off that bolt and push it inside the frame. You may be able to fish it out through some other opening later or just let it roll around inside.. I've done this many times with 100% success. Here's a video showing the Riv-Nut and how it...

    Belt wheel pressing against fan

    I'm not familiar with you rubber transmission mount, but is there any way it was removed and reinstalled backwards? I'm not sure it's even possible or if it makes a difference but they look offset. Does it look like this?

    Belt wheel pressing against fan

    Looks like the water pump pulley. Is that an aftermarket electric fan? Any way to mount the fan on the front side of the radiator? You can't just shift the pump pulley back because the belt won't be aligned with the other pulleys. We need more ifo on why you remounted the skid plate and why...

    Gearshift, making rubber sound when shifting into second gear

    I don't understand the "Rubber binding sound" but I can say one common issue is the shift lever may be coming in contact with the opening in the tub because of the lift. Can you see how close it is? Even if there's a fraction of an inch, it may be hitting during acceleration or deceleration.

    92 YJ stiff rear axle after replacing bearing, locking ring and seal

    Those axles are different than the ones in my '92 YJ. My axles are held in place with C-clips on the differential end, not the four nuts on the wheel end. Each type may have different bearing sizes. I'm not familiar with the dates when the axle types changed from clips to nuts. Edit...

    Fuel injection to carburetor conversion

    Four SU HS6 carbs would definitely raise eyebrows. Let us know what happens.
