    Oil coolers

    Hi All, 2008 JK. I have noticed a lot of issues concerning oil coolers. Are all wranglers equipped with oil coolers? Or are they only on certain models? I have a 6 speed manual Thanks Tom

    My RANT for the day 😩

    LOL, Jerry, I totally agree. I have only been a Jeep owner for about 3 months and I have come to realize that with a lot of jeepsters it becomes an obsession!! LOL

    My RANT for the day 😩

    Yea, I’m still not positive I’m going to install the kit. Don’t think I will really miss those items. Haven’t so far. Just considering resale issue if the time comes.

    My RANT for the day 😩

    Nope. Jeep did not include the wiring harness, washer tubing, or rear washer pump If it was a soft top. One must also install a whole new heater/AC/fan control panel and a new steering column stalk. The kit includes all of this stuff for only around $150.00. That’s not bad, but installing it...

    My RANT for the day 😩

    So, I bought my 2008 jk which was built from the factory as a soft top. The PO installed a hardtop from another 2008 jk. But they never had the hardtop wiring kit installed for the rear washer/wipers/defrosters. After researching how to install the wiring kit, it’s really a PITA to do so...

    Engine rough running, only one short trip

    I’m no expert yet with the OBD readers, but don’t the codes stay until cleared ? If your engine light came on there should be a code lurking somewhere ?

    Seized spark plugs

    Also, do not install plugs when the engine is hot. Works the opposite of removing. Tightening plugs ( or any threaded part ) when a block is hot will allow it to be tightened further then when it’s cold. That can be too tight.

    Seized spark plugs

    Heat the block is what you want. No different then installing bearings. You heat up the surrounding area so that the steel/iron/aluminum Expands. I work on many small engines. When I remove a bearing or threaded part I always heat up the block around the part. Also when reinstalling a bearing...
