    A few things I'd check: Make sure the TruSpeed unit is properly calibrated. Sometimes, if the calibration isn’t set correctly, it can cause the speedometer to behave erratically. Double-check all the wiring and connections leading to and from the speed sensor and TruSpeed unit. Any loose or...

    Knock Question

    The fact that you hear a knock that improves with the clutch engaged could indicate that the noise isn't solely from the engine itself, as sometimes transmission or clutch components can add to the noise when they aren't properly aligned or lubricated. The isolating of the knock to cylinder #1...

    4WD not engaging after transfer case drop

    The best advice I can give you after having dealt with the same thing myself is to support the transmission with a jack stand, take the skid plate off, and adjust the transfer case shifter linkage until you can get it in 4WD without issue. It takes some fiddling with but you'll get it...

    Manual Transmission Shift Knob Hack

    You can use a tap and dye kit to rethread the portion of the shift lever that remains. Of course it's going to be shorter now, so you may just be better off replacing the entire lever unless you're okay with losing an inch or so of height.

    1995 YJ 4.0: Runs great but randomly dies, then won't start for a while

    Here are a few suggestions that might help pinpoint the cause: 1. Ignition Switch: Since the engine shuts off abruptly and all electrical components (lights, etc.) remain powered, this points towards a potential ignition switch issue. The contacts within the switch might be failing...

    Red with green stripe wire in the harness gets really hot when the keys in accessory

    The red wire with a green stripe you mentioned could be a power wire related to a critical function, possibly the ignition system or fuel system. If it’s getting really hot, it could indicate a short circuit or that the circuit is drawing more current than it should, which can lead to wiring...

    Will this spare tire set up destroy my tailgate/tub?

    As long as you have the snubbers setup properly it will last. It's the lack of snubbers that will destroy your tailgate, regardless of tire size (though the bigger the tire the faster it will be destroyed).

    4L60E transmission torque converter

    For a torque converter, since you're not looking for high performance and plan to use your Jeep mostly as a pavement cruiser and beach vehicle, a torque converter with a stall speed in the range of 1800-2400 RPM should suit you well. This range provides a good balance for everyday driving while...

    YJ start / run issue

    I know this sounds nuts, but I had a 1999 XJ a decade or so ago that the HVAC would not work. I tried everything you could think of and replaced every single part you could. Even then, nothing worked. After months of troubleshooting I finally decided to dig into the wiring harness. After weeks...
