Thank you for this feedback. I have slowly replaced incandescents with LEDs in several places in/on the Jeep, but I have NOT done the turn signals and may not ever. The headlights and interior were greatly improved when I switched to LEDs, but I don't think I NEED that type of improvement with...

This morning I replaced the front fender side marker lights with LED bulbs and new amber lenses. This was very straightforward, no issues. I performed the bulb "change out" with the parking light switch "on" (to verify electrical continuity to the new bulb before assembly) AND with the...

I did not replace the front shocks (yet) and will be looking for something soft. I suspect that the "low-end" Gabriels will have longevity issues, so I am not adverse to a different brand. Rancho certainly has market respect. When I buy shocks, even the RS5000X, I'm going to insist that I get...

My rear Monroe Shock Absorbers were leaking, and although replacing them is an easy job, I asked a shop to install new ones while doing other work with the Jeep up on a lift. My only request was that, in a world of "Good, Better, Best", I only wanted "Good". To be honest, I don't know how to...

I put the Clutch Master Cylinder replacement task off long enough. I'm replying to my own post because after 48 views, nobody has been able to say that they ever tried clutch bleeding Method 2 or 3. I broke into the clutch hydraulics today, deciding to go with Method 3 since I had no "helper"...

Have a look at: https://wrangleryjforum.com/threads/yj-heating-system-explained.26987/ on this site. Administrator Chris put together an excellent description of this ventilation system.

My opinion, for cost, is to pull the head, recondition whatever it needs, and replace the head gasket. That's assuming the block is doing fine and you're happy with the carburetor. The 4.0 option gets you fuel injection, but there is a bunch of extra stuff required to support it (fuel pump...

I need to install a new Clutch Master Cylinder "only", without disturbing either the fluid pressure line below the Master Cylinder or the slave cylinder. My question concerns hydraulic bleeding. Method 1.) The Maintenance Manual procedure is to crack the bleed screw under the Jeep with an...

I'm with you, machoheadgames. I'm simply going to tighten them by feel while the engine is cold. It's only the rearmost 4 bolts that are giving me a problem.

Thanks for the 10W30 info... I did NOT know that Chrysler changed that transmission oil recommendation. I do know that I failed (locked up) my first AX-15 using 75W90 and that the heavier oils make the transmission shift harder. I was concerned about AX-15 seal compatibility with ATF, and...

Do folks generally use the "cupped" washers to secure the manifolds to the head? I need to find a source for new ones... they are the only attachment hardware that was reused. These washers are pretty substantial in thickness, but are cupped to provide some thermal flex to the manifold mount...

I have a different opinion about removing the front track bar. You can buy a new one complete with new bushings for about $60 to $70. It does have a design function on Jeeps with leaf springs, particularly in terms of the steering components. I replaced every steering component forward of the...

I now have about two years on my second AX-15 manual transmission, with about 400K miles on the Jeep. I had problems with the synchronizers not working very well, especially when hot. The gear grinding tendency was bothersome when downshifting, and it was difficult to engage higher gears when...

1990 YJ, Manual Transmission, 4.2 6cyl. - After 30 years and 397,000 miles, I finally removed the factory-installed 231J Transfer Gearbox. The new "rebuilt" Gearbox was supplied by TheGearShop1945.com. The Gear Shop needed to know if the front axle 4WD was vacuum controlled or electric, and...
