85 mph in Dallas is what they run on residential streets!

I occasionally have the same issue on a ‘95 4.0. My problem is with the speedometer and related wiring at the transmission. I’m just too busy to crawl under to fix it. My speedometer goes crazy every now and then. When depressing the clutch while coming to a stop, the engine stalls or almost...

I put my trac bars, both front and rear, in my “Pile of Things I don’t think I need” and haven’t had any issues either on or off road for 2 years now. My $.02.

Jeez man! Learn to use proper punctuation!

I understand that. Here’s a picture of the switch. There is a nut, bracket, net configuration that allows for adjustment.

It’s been a while, but I don’t remember seeing a spring on the pedal. But I’m getting old and forget some times. If it was a switch problem, lifting the pedal wouldn’t turn the brake lights off. I agree with what you said about the mechanic. He probably installed a slightly different master...

I had a similar issue on my 95 4.0/AX15. It turned out to be a loose nut on the brake light switch. The switch mounts through a bracket with a hole in it and adjusts there. The switch closes when you push the brake peddle down and opens when depressed by the brake pedal arm. Since this happened...

I ordered and installed a set of 1 1/2 inch lift near OEM springs. I found that the pins in the rear spring packs barely made it through the door stop size shims that the PO installed. The rear end had been slipping back and forth on the springs. That explains the popping and bumping around we...

Here in Texas also. My converter was replaced with a piece of pipe by the previous owner. It smells different when running. Kinda like my old K5 Blazer did!

It’s running LT tires now on aluminum rims with Jeep logos on the center cap. I have a set of 31X10.5-15 tires on steel wheels that were on it when we got it. Those tires are old and won’t be used. But I liked the 31’s. They’re about an inch taller than what’s on there now and drive well except...

Not too big. We don’t need a crawler. Probably a $3-$4K budget. Doing the work myself with the assistance of a certified mechanic at his shop. Or should I say, I’ll be assisting him. We barter all the mechanic work, so free shop time and help.

We took the 1995 YJ, 6 cyl. 5 spd, out this weekend for the first time on the trails of Barnwell Mountain and managed to break the left rear spring at the rear shackle. After looking at the broken spring my wife said “We need to make it bigger and badder!”. What can I say to that other than the...

Like ytradio said, WD40 may free things up. Also a gentle push closed from the outside while working the release might free it up and get it open. I use WD40, Liquid Wrench, and then Kroil in that order on my 95 Wrangler. Kroil is rather expensive so I use it last. Good luck.

An all North Central Texas thread?

I’m not an expert on PCM issues, but when my 95 was giving me CEL problems, I disconnected the battery for an hour or so and reconnected. It cleared the codes, CEL went off, and it started right up. That was over a year ago and I haven’t had any further problems. I’m sure someone with more PCM...

I believe the pins you need are called roll pins. Various sizes are available at most big-box building materials stores and at discount tool stores. Looks like they are also available from Amazon, but those may no be of the highest quality. I have a 4.0 with an AX15, so I can’t help you with the...

Great to hear! Very responsible of them to tape the splice. Where was the spliced wire going?

How did the thief get it running to take it? If “hot wired” you may have a bare wire somewhere. I guess your battery stays charged when the + cable is disconnected?

Or, just downsize the tires.

Tapping the ease out into the drilled hole with a hammer usually works for me, but it really depends on the quality of the ease out. I have had more trouble with the spiral type than the square ones. You may have to enlarge the beginning of the hole to the next larger size. Only drill in a...
