Got the trans pulled out of my 89 YJ, now trying to remove the flywheel for surfacing. It doesn't show any signs of being burned, grooved, rutted, or pitted, however it is shiny. Does it need to be surfaced? Six 3/4" bolts hold the flywheel on, and the flywheel just cranks the engine over when I...

I want to see how much emission legal power I can get out of my 258CI. Inline six with just bolt on parts. I will be doing that this last weekend in February 2005. Any one who has dealt with these modifications, any advice would be greatly appreciated, You can e mail me at Bolt on...

I'll start off by saying that this forum's archive can be a great technical resource -- most recently for me a crank sensor issue this past weekend....but the CJ5 misfire post reminded me of a doozie of a problem I had a few years back... Now, we've all got stories about breaking parts, getting...

Santa just brought me a Hilift jack for an early Christmas present. If that gives you the urge to tell me how dangerous they are and how many people have died and how I should throw it away, please reference the subject of the post. I am well aware of it's uses as well as what not to do. Those...

I have been quoted some prices on some potential repairs to my 95 Jeep Wrangler, but being a non-technical owner (I just drive the thing, I don't know how it works) I have a hard time understanding these problems, guaging how important they really are, and guessing whether or not I am getting a...

Greetings All, So I turned on the defroster in my '98 TJ for the first time in months today, and the smell of burning pine needles immediately followed by billowing smoke poured out... I popped off the wipers and vent cover and stuck my shop-vac hose down into the air intake and vacuumed out...

OK - the vehicle is a 2004 TJ Sport, 4 wheel discs, limited slip Dana 44 Rear, aluminum wheels. 30,100 miles, I've had it since new. Great car in every way. I don't offroad it yet, I just drive it in snow and adverse weather conditions. Recently, though, if I drive along and hit a particular type...

I posted this several weeks ago, and got a lot of thoughtful replies. No remedy yet, this is just an update. Last week, I drove home from vacation, a 500 mile trip. I noticed repeatedly that the temp at 65 mph would be in the 205-210 range, but five minutes after I go up to 75 mph, the...

Gee. I wonder if he got a little message from his news service provider advising him of his gross improprieties over the last several months (or years even)????????

Went shopping the other day, when I parked Libby was all by herself. When I got back she had some company. www.selby.ws/mallrats.jpg Three others had joined her, looked like girls night out. Mine is the one on the right, in the middle. Funny, I have only noticed this phenomenon with Jeeps and...

I'm going to call this one Bert. http://www.revbeergoggles.com/temp/bert.jpg He/She is about the size of a quarter and anytime I get close it shakes the web. At least this time it's not in front of the side door. o_O -- DougW

any wind tunnel tests for a Wrangler? Just a sheer curiosity...want to test the toaster thing! Don't want to build a wind tunnel for my TJ, one in the works for the toaster (love after Halloween fog machine specials.) Bill, Bill, you of all people would have it. -- Disclaimer: A large chunk of...

I have a Koenig winch on my 1959 Willys jeep I recently purchased. Model 51. J51-202 is also stamped on the side of the case. I am inquiring if anyone knows where parts can be purchased. The entire driveshaft is missing. Also the housing that extends down from the transfer case is leaking where...

OK, being the some what resident jeep expert at work a friend asked me a question that I didn't quite know how to answer. I know y'all will know. Seems he has a new to him 88 YJ with the Peugeot transmission. Apparently like many Peugeots it is toast. The rest of the Jeep is stock and in good...

Hello everyone, I need your help, my front windshield wipers just stopped working (not a good thing as there is snow coming down and there is snow forecasted for the next week!!!) I checked the fuses in the glove compartment (I guess I should mention that I have a 97 TJ...) and they are fine I...
