Similar story, took it in for the clockspring and received a message needed new front and rear brakes for $1,200, new steering stabilizer (which was accurate) and something I can’t remember. Said no thank you, I’ll take care of it myself. $1,200 for brakes is ridiculous.

Some have been tight, one seemed loose to me.

Interesting, part of the issue is I am not sure what the exact symptoms are for a bad torque converter. It seems to drive fine minus the engine temps, again. Usually on a grade, in Tahoe this week and temp hit 245 coming up from Carson City. Keep in mind it is a constant grade from 4800 to...

I am little late here. The wife’s JKU has been through a few t-stats, none of them OEM though. I have two at home in storage now and looks like I need to replace the t-stat. The others were under warranty and had work done at a local mechanic shop we use. This one I’ll be doing myself. I...

I don’t own any soft shackles but people in our club do so I’ve used them a few of times assisting with recoveries. I guess what I haven’t been able to wrap my head around so far is it seems like with enough force the knot would slip out the hole it is inserted through. But I’ve never heard...

We have a couple in our club and BB = Bad Betty!

Thank you, it would be for my LJ so no worries there.

Hopefully easy to install. Seems odd that there are two ways to control the throttle. Does one override the other?

Nope, keep the man card. Nothing wrong the automatic, except I don’t know how to wheel in them 😂. My kid and wife’s ask me questions and I have to keep learning and asking others what to do. I do want to install one of those throttle knobs that go on the stick shift.

Mine is a 6sp.

Agreed the JK’s are much smoother. Certainly understand about outgrowing a TJ. I had YJ for years. Outgrew it too. Then took me about a year to find the LJ I wanted. One time owner, mostly stock and benefit was a Rubicon, at least it was a benefit for me. Added a 3” suspension lift, 33”...

TJ’s are great fun!

My son has the 3.8 but I don’t drive it so can’t say a lot about it. I know it’s easier to work on than the 3.6. Between the 4.0 and 3.6 I prefer the 4.0 and think it’s one of the best motors out there. Didn’t say the best, but one of the best. We bought a used Gladiator a few months...

Not sure of the forums were established at the same time but for instance check out these two numbers. On the TJ forum I can’t keep up 😂

I plan on replacing the thermostat housing on my wife’s JKU. Does anyone know if there is a drain plug on the engine block? The TJ (4.0) has a drain plug and when removed a fair amount of additional coolant drains out. I’d like to get as much of the old coolant drained as possible.

Hello Mr. Cooper, welcome to the JK forum. It’s not active as the TJ forum, but good people on here.

I assume the Jeep is getting up to temperature?

My question is where did the stuff go that was blocking it?

You can also run the VIN# here and it will tell you the jeeps build. https://fcagroup.my.site.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing

Installed new battery clamps on the daughters JK. Found a bolt to use for the negative terminal as getting an allen wrench in there is a pain. Instead of stripping the cables and putting on new terminal ends, I decided to cut up the old ends and just use them. In the long run it ended up...
