I hear ya. The last time I tried was probably 2018 or so, but it is never brought up in conversation as a place to go get stuff in my circles. That being said, their location is only a couple miles from Interstate 94 and they have a decent collection of vehicles, so I imagine most of the workers...

This has bothered me as well. While there are two 'doors' one for the heat / cold that typically gets called the blend door. There is also the gate that directs the air flow to different places in the vehicle. I'm unsure what to call that one, beyond the 'directing gate' or some such. One...

I'm not suggesting that all of them are like this, just the one in my town. It's been a few years since I tried though.

Fastenal sells to regular people by you? The one in my town will only work with businesses. Walk in and they ask "Contract number?" and then shoo you out when you don't have one. Our Auto Value has a really good bolt collection though.

I have a manual, so I'm unsure what you mean by manual override. Is it working fine now or is the problem persisting? I agree that is sounds like an electrical problem. On jeeps, (and many other vehicles) if a ground starts to go bad, all kinds of wackyness can happen. The schematics for...

Especially considering how much better the manual is for the 3.8 engine. (2007-2011) Specifically, if you have larger than stock tires on it and it's not a rubicon the auto trans will be a massive downgrade in performance. Even for the Rubicon, anything over 32" tires will feel like you are...

Is the hood insulation getting sucked into the air intake? I do see your torque curve for the YJ. Older engines had a much lower torque curve. I have a TJ with a 4.0 and a 3.8 JK. Both are manual and I shift around 700 rpms lower on the TJ than the JK. And your 3.6 is even higher torque curve...

Give another try at explaining what's happening. This paragraph is a bit of a brain dump and is hard for me to follow, I may be tired and already getting into Monday morning mode though.

My first thought when looking at that was "those rear tires would be slipping all over my lawn. Useless."

Just like everything wheel and tire related, the measurement standards were decided by an engineer with a substance abuse problem. Negative offset moves the tire farther away from the vehicle. (0mm offset is the mounting surface is dead center of the wheel front to back.) And before I go any...

I looked back at the tire size to dif ratio chart and I had forgotten how much difference there is between manual and automatic for the 3.8. I have a Manual and can go with a much bigger tire than the auto can before issue show up. Based on that, I would stick with close to stock size...

This is my main argument for doing a five tire rotation. (Not the manual) If you only do four tire, then you are stuck with a particular size / brand of tire or having a non matching one bolted to the rear of the vehicle limiting its usefulness. https://tiresize.com/calculator/ This website...

TireSize.com Calculator Use this link to get a pretty good idea of what the actual size of tires will be. I have a 2009 Rubicon that I put 285 70 r17s on, and initially with factory wheels they didn't fit. I had to get new wheels with a different offset for them to work. They were a bit too...

So the factory amp was missing as it had been removed, or was it never there? Only models with the premium sound package got the amp. In the US at least. Not sure about Eastern Europe.

It's really the primary thing that would allow engine heat to get into the cab. I imagine that at speed, there is higher air pressure on the system that can push air past the core and other seals that are not as good after over a decade.

I wonder if the heater core is more exposed to the interior than it should be. I've seen heater core shut offs on older vehicles (not jeeps) for similar reasons. Mind, I don't advocate doing this. You could as a temporary experiment short out the heat core lines so they don't flow through the...

Someplace on here I posted a video of a guy that looked at his old oil cooler to figure out where the issue was and at least for him it was related to the cap for the filter. Basically, it was fixable without pulling stuff apart. I posted it in the last couple months or more recent. found it...

This is one of the big reasons I try not to get stuff from Amazon anymore. You have to pay such close attention to the postings so you get what you think you are getting. For some things, it's the only option available annoyingly. That being said, I've had luck with some of the cheap knockoffs...

I try very hard not to buy anything from Amazon. I now see them as a slightly better version of Wish.com where you can't trust the reviews. I also focus at first on the negative reviews. That is where you will find the real ones. It's usually easy to parse out the ones that are user error. If...

Ouch, a brick pulling a brick. Good luck in your adventure.
