    Ok, well ordered a set of lash adjusters and valve cover gaskets, will take it apart soon when parts are in thier way. Not sure what else this could be.... Any other things to do while I'm in there?

    3.7 knock?

    It definitely isnt front of engine. With the fan and belt off I was able to get my ears close. Sure seems to be the top end...

    3.7 knock?

    Well its not the drive belt. Or any of the pulleys and bearings. Took the fan and belt off, the noise remains. Seems more top end the more I am listening around. Could it be a failing hydraulic lifter? What could I see or look for if I remove the valve cover(s)

    3.7 knock?

    I think its more top end maybe...? Changed the oil, no change, went away at idle and is quieter at rpms, but when you let off the pedal to drop back to idle, it rattles. Nothing in the oil filter of any significance. No chucks or pieces. No glimmer in the oil either... Its not missing or...

    3.7 knock?

    Sounds more bottom. I'm,investigating more. On the way home from work. It was less if none at idle. But more from 1500 rpm up. Odd...

    3.7 knock?

    I have a rattle from the engine today after a weekend of camping and 4wheeling. 3.7 with 223,000 miles. Regular oilchanges since ive owned it at 150k. Rattles at idle, kinda like some kind of loose metal or heat shield. And then goes away as I pick up engine rpms. Comes back around 1200 or...

    Are wheel adapters safe?

    Yes, if/when properly installed and torqued, use red loctite. Buy new not used. And Buy name brand. If you follow those, no problems. Been running them on my KJ for years. (Fyi spidertrax has a blem section on their website for cheaper new parts.)

    02 Renegade brush guard and tow hooks.

    I have seen and installed,both the wj hooks/brackets (on a wj of course...) And the kj. They are not interchangeable. The brush guard / bull bar brackets hang down where the hooks,would be on the KJ. There just isnt room for the hooks still...would be a very custom part that I'm sure is doable....

    Been slowly losing collant. Is this where I'm losing it?

    Maybe the hose is bad. Had that happen where the inner part was leaking and coming oit at the end of the hose at the braided section.

    Replace or rebuild lower control arms

    Just replaced the lcas today and I cant imagine pressing out those old bushings. It was very easy to just replace the whole arm. Thanks for all the tips
