I own a shop. Id rather guarantee my work on a full engine or transmission swap than a damn seal. Your putting a new seal in an old housing around a worn/ rusted/ whatever metal shaft. Even an axle seal is bad. Id rather guarantee a re-gear than an axle seal. If you put in a ring and pinion...

Can be very difficult. The tube is most likely. The right side is the long side so you have that working for you too. Don't underestimate a carpenters ("L") square or a masonry twine for checking. I have lasers and digital alignment tools but still use squares and string and tape measures for a...

Everything is permanent except the pressed in ball joints. The only way for the tire to lean is a bent ear on the knuckle or a bent tube. And these tubes suck if you really go offroad. Generally they do ok in the mall parking lot but I suppose a hard hit on a pot hole could do it. On trucks we...

Broken clock spring i suppose. Just unhook the battery for a while and replace it

I wouldn't do that without figuring out what caused it to get off. Either your knuckle is bent or your axle tube. Not much else i can imagine could do it without a bent track beat or something. Either way you need another alignment shop if they couldn't tell you why it was out of alignment...

Would be cheaper to have it smoked and diagnosed than throw parts. I also have an 08 rubicon plus run a shop. And yes....needing repair every few weeks is just natural for Mopar. Especially 04ish till 2018ish or so. The 08 SHOULD say gas cap on the dash where the odo is. Generally they do IF...

Idk. I work on trucks and 4x4 most every day. Ive never seen a straight axle with adjustment from the factory on any jeep, GM, Ford, nor Ram/Dodge. We have to buy offset joints, sleeves, or shims. If your stock jeep is having issues other than toe then you have bent something. No other way...

Yeah. Most jeep guys use it. I don't personally. I have dedicated scan tools myself since I work on all make. Diagnosing your problem would be a hell of an endeavor im afraid. Actually having the correct live data or getting a freeze frame at the correct time is going to be rough. Somewhere a...

I be Id guess autozone or one of those guys did the original scan for free. To properly diagnose you would only have to watch the live data for 3 minutes. Lol. Jscan would be fine for that. My point is that I'd have pulled a higher quality brass temp sensor to install an off brand inferior...

Yeah. And I use internet research and experience a lot too. But people also get into "ive seen it 100 times" and don't properly diagnose. If a subaru comes in amd the heater is blowing cold or antifreeze is low they start pulling a head for a head gasket. And yeah there is a 90% chance thats it...

Not necessarily. Plenty often the electrical issues are only at idle. How is the battery and the alternator output BTW. With the valve coversoff and a visual, combined with leakdown and compression checks you can tell any valve train issues. Plus any valve timing issues will have a code...

An engine is easy to diagnose. Its all mechanical. If the leakdown, compression, and visual checks of the engine are good then swapping another good engine will fix nothing. The electrical/sensor/ computer side is likely the issue and will be kept. An engine that is bad/low compression etc...

It has to be programed to the vehicle. It's pretty much the computer/ fuse box. It's a totally integrated power module. Just Google tipm problem. You will find plenty. The cheapest option is to send yours off to have it fixed. There are companies that just do that. That's how common it...

The axles held in by round pins, c-clips etc etc and have to have some play. Thats normal on any straight axle that isn't floating.

No doubt. I can't imagine going without my lifts. I do greatly prefer my 4 post though. About the only things we use the 2 post for is taking out transverse mounted engines which a 4 post doesn't excell at (lifting the body off the engine cradle.) And setting beds off of trucks for fuel pumps...

I meant mileage out of the tires. Not fuel mileage. Ive never concerned myself with fuel mileage. And the vehicles that I've had that probably should have got decent fuel mileage weren't impressive. Currently I have 10 vehicles either tagged or could be. My mach one gets my best mileage...

A fuel filter won't cause one bank to run lean unless there is one filter per bank on your setup. Could perhaps be an exhaust leak on that side. Or vacuum leak causing too much air on that side. Take a propane torch around the engine and listen for changes

Id watch the live data and see what the first 02 sensor was showing compared to the first one on the other bank. I would swap the two if i could (if they aren't stuck). If the issue moves to the other bank then the sensor is faulty. That would be my first move. Costs nothing. Of no change...

Ground anything you want that is metal and not positive. Lol . Most vehicles have them from the battery to the motor or frame but both is fine. Some do. The motor generally has a few to the body which is bolted to the frame. I highly doubt ground is your issue if you have added that many...

Buy a pack of braided ground straps and stick them anywhere you want. Engine to frame, battery to frame, battery to engine. They won't hurt. I've seen alternators with bad diodes cause your whining issue too
