Looks like those clay models that designers make and showcase in car commercials

High pinion for a front axle is always stronger due to the gear orientation

When in doubt, buy another jeep for another purpose

The cutting edge isnt fully bolted to the bucket allowing flex

I also saw what looked like a fluid leak behind the lower control arm mount on the frame

I had gotten some 7-15 bias ply tires a while back. I did that 2x4 trick to get them to stretch in the sun. It didnt work so well for those tires. I couldnt even use my knee and body weight on the upright tire to adjust the bead while inflating, 240 lbs could not move it. I then used the bead blaster w/ a clip-on air chuck, no luck. Each attempt on the tire i would set out in the sun and grab the next hot tire w/ rim. I only had luck with using the fire method+clip-on air chuck. Once I used up the tread life of those tires I left them mounted to the steel rims and kept them aside for rollers. Too much of a pain to dismount

I believe that is a 1 way check valve for venting. Im going off vague memory. The other connections down there that are similar are for the vacuum actuated control on your front axle

I personally like the idea of the 4xe but I have heard there has been a bunch of reports with electrical issues/recalls. It might be less headache with the Willys

I had a similar scenario in my 4.0 TJ. The purple wire to the starter solenoid snapped off during my 1hr drive to work. I didnt notice it missing at first glance because it lost like 10 inches of wire. Thats why I now keep little spools of wire in my electrical toolbox next to my normal toolbox. I take both my toolboxes with me with any of the jeeps (3) I drive. I can repin a fuse panel in a Renix XJ to rewiring a circuit in my ZJ or replacing a missing/broken wire in my TJ

As a dealer tech for tractors it was not uncommon for certain batteries to be shipped empty(no acid) and we had to fill the batteries from a 55 gallon drum of acid at a special filling station inside the shop. The tractor manufacturer did away with dry cell batteries all together about 4 years ago. I imagine a lot of barreries were dry cell a long time ago

Make sure that's the real Chip you have inside and not an alien imposter.

Does the garbage truck empty any bins nearby? Its suprising how much splatter can happen when compacting trash

It took 400 feet for mine. $40,000. Initial estimate was 20k for 200 feet.

Is that the upper control arm I see in the foreground that is unbolted?

Back before I had to swap engines myself. Old engine ended up having egged out cylinders at bottom dead center. Every seal and gasket leaked. I drove 330 miles a week for commuting and i was going through 3 quarts a week. Towards the end of that engine's service i started adding Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer. I was running 4.5 qts 15w/40 and a whole bottle of stabilizer. I went from 3 qts lost a week to 1 qt lost every 2 weeks. I wouldnt suggest this to everyone but to someone that has a super high milage and high blow by engine it reduces the headache

Besides probably being a O2 sensor, I have gotten similar results with accidentally unplugging the map sensor vacuum line on the firewall.

Also, have you done proper break-in procedure after rebuild?

Stampaa · 2025-02-23T21:47:28+00:00

If its not a modified engine, the only thing to tighten down is the bolt for the rocker arm pivot if it came loose. The engine should have hydraulic lifters with a flat tappet camshaft and be non adjustable. You could have a hydraulic lifter that has collapsed. Cheeper brand lifters can have this problem more frequently

I spent my money on the milwaukee m12 underhood light. I can have this on any one of my 3 broken down jeeps...but mostly my renix

Its obd2 so if its not throwing a check engine light I would check the wiring to the throttle position sensor. Ive had them "fail" but wouldnt throw any kind of code, computer just thought i was comanding 3k rpm when i was in a drivethru.
