Its always a great feeling when I've fixed it myself. I've done so much on this jeep. Its been a great learning tool

Evidently, this part is no longer available and has been replaced by the entire fuel line. I'd rather not replace the entire line if I dont have to. Can I just seal up the connector with JB weld or something?

The hoses were 80 for the pair, and yes, they were molded to the exact shape of the originals. The intake gaskets were 54, on top of the diagnosis from the shop of 136. All in i was at $270. The 136 would gave been on top of their $700 quote. I will say it took me an entire day. I went very...

It turned out the heater core was bad and was leaking just as bad. I didnt notice for a while because it was leaking into the cab and getting absorbed by the carpet. I replaced the heater core. No more leak

Update! There be heat in this jeep! After all the things I tried, flushing the system, changing the heater core, replacing the radiator, it ended up being the heater hoses. One burst at the firewall. I replaced it and there be heat.

Got it done. I did end up taking off the top part of the intake. I tried to do it without taking ot off but I just could get my ham hands behind the engine. My heater has never worked since I've had this. I replaced the radiator, the heater core, flushed the system and no heat. I decided to...

Well, I'm doing it myself. Great name and profile pic. Love Conan and Robert E. Howard.

You are correct. I'm actually looking forward to working on this. Thinking I should get gaskets for the intake manifold since I'm removing it, thoughts?

They're $80 for both at O'Reilly. The ones that take the coolant to the heater core.

I'm guessing theyre charging me 100 for the hoses and the rest is labor. I saw a video on how to do it. It doesn't look so bad, have to remove the intake

I took it to a shop I trust. They're saying the heater hoses at the firewall are torn badly. I don't know how that happened. I'll attach their note. They want to charge me 700 to replace them, is it that difficult?

Yes. The fan is running

Think I may have figured out the issue. Looks like possibly a blown head gasket. I was driving and had to pull over, white smoke was billowing from the engine

I have a 2007 JK wrangler. Its started overheating. I seem to be losing coolant but theres no obvious leak, at least not obvious to me. I have replaced the heater core and flushed the coolant system, including flushing the heater core. I have also replaced the radiator and water pump. Any...

I have a fuel leak. There's a fuel line that goes from the main line to the injector rail. The line is about a foot or so long. The leak is where it connects to the main line. I've been lookinh for a replacement for the short line but haven't had any luck. Any suggestions?
