You will be wishing you had the 4.0 engine in your new jeep after you do some repairs. The new over-head cam engines are very technical and expensive to fix.
You may need to grind the corner of one or two ring gear teeth to get the pin out. I have seen this done before and it really doesn't affect performance because the pinion gear does not contact there anyway. In the future you could get a notched pin.
The I am Jake channel is getting hard to watch and take seriously. It seems he makes drastic unexpected moves and doesn't really explain anything. He will take months to get to a certain point and then all of a sudden he is taking things apart again and redoing them in a slightly different...
Its too bad that the Gibson header does not come with any expansion joints like some of the other brands do. I also think that the Cherokee/Wrangler exhaust systems should have a woven stainless flex joint some where in the exhaust piping to allow for movement when the motor torques under load.
Aluminum is 1/3 the weight of carbon steel, but also 3x the cost. I would say to build the frame from steel and use aluminum for cladding. Aluminum could be riveted together as well to limit the welding time.
BFG K0's are a winter/snow rated all terrain tire. I would say that they are a very good alternative for people who do not want to buy a dedicated winter tire set.
Its too bad that jeeps and muscle cars aren't more affordable today. I think people will eventually reason that price and practicality are more important than looks and styling. At that point I think muscle cars and other "fun" vehicles will fade away.
I am not totally sold on the necessity of a all wheel drive SUV versus a sedan car. I have a 2003 VW TDI Jetta which I have driven a lot and it has returned very good MPG's , been very reliable , easy to work on and reasonable in snow/ice conditions.
I live in Saskatchewan, Canada and we get...
Yes you can really upgrade these little engines and they seem to take the abuse for awhile anyway. I guess my original plan from the start was to NOT spend a ton of money on upgrades because in my mind it defeats the purpose of putting a fuel efficient engine in. If you spend $2000 plus on...
Mine is a 1999 so it has the AX-15 transmission and unfortunately the Dana 35 axle. I wish I could afford an unlimited as that extra 15" would great to have on trips.
I have a Jeep TJ with a VW diesel (1.9l ALH code). I have a very mild tune on it so it is not a powerhouse but gets the job done with 35 mpg mileage. After working on Jeep Grand Cherokee's Diesel's I wanted something very simple and this thing is so easy to repair. And If I don't like something...
It is a VW ALH code engine. I don't have many other pictures during install since I needed this done fairly quick as it is a backup vehicle for me. I completed it in my garage in about 1.5 months working only in the evenings after work. Most of the wires you see in the back driver side are the...
