I second looking at your wires. On a different vehicle, I had the same symptoms and turned out that I had corrosion throughout the battery cables. I replaced them and it fired right up during the cold months every time.

I found a couple online that I believe may be what you are looking for: https://tuffyproducts.com/products/jeep-hood-lock-jeep-1987-1995-wrangler-yj/?sku=295-01 https://www.extremeterrain.com/rugged-ridge-hood-lock-yj-hl2.html I will be honest and say that I have not used either product. My...

I appreciate that. And I'll have to keep in mind possibly adding washers when I finally do get it back up and running.

To be honest, I don’t know how it is holding up. After installing it, I took it for a drive and discovered I had too much slack and the belt started to slip off. So I tensioned it more and took it for another drive, but the transmission is too trashed to keep driving it, so it’s collecting...

Good news! The kit for the TJ does work, albeit with a little persuading. I ended up having to keep the bottom bolt that holds the bracket to the steering pump loose while I made all of my adjustments and set the tension. After that, I snugged everything up and couldn't be happier that there...

So some tentatively good news. From a physical perspective, it is only a little bigger than the one I broke and it fits fine into the space it is supposed to go. I attached the bracket to the pump and that worked out well, though I think I tightened the bolts holding the pump in place too much...

I was wondering about that. I could not get it to turn at all and assumed that was the design. I ended up twisting the entire tube to the point where I believe I compromised its integrity. A new one is on the way - supposed to be here this past Friday, but now I'm not sure when it's coming...

It looks like there is a different kit that might work better. Dorman part # 917-951. It says it is compatible with Wranglers from 1997 to 2002, but it looks to be the same size and shape. My local Advance Auto has one in stock that I'll pick up tomorrow and then I'll update this thread again...

Unfortunately not (just finished trying). It is too thick on the side that attaches to the power steering pump bracket, so it will not fit and the power steeting pump bracket cannot attach to the pump. I'm going to try searching Autozone's website and see if I can find other, similar ones and...

On a whim, I went to my local Autozone and showed them the broken pieces and explained what they came from. He started typing away at his computer and was silent for a couple of minutes. Then he flipped his screen around and showed me Dorman part # 917-148. It is an idler pulley adjuster bolt...

I am good friends with PB Blaster - I have a bunch in my garage from when I was working on a 2009 F150 with more rust than this Jeep. But the bolt itself turned fine and did not break - only the tensioner nut broke into three pieces. And I also have a 1/2" ratcheting wrench, also because of...

So, I’m new to owning Jeeps and recently purchased one that I knew would need a lot of work to bring it up to snuff. I’m trying to do little things right now to keep it running and troubleshoot some problems the previous owner told me about. I’ve been lurking on this forum for the last few...
