    Strut Spacers. Are these stock?

    I would probably not use them as they are putting the load of the suspension on a small area as opposed to spreading the load out over a greater area of the sheet metal. If you want a little bit more lift or just to level out the slight lean to one side a couple conduit washers under the shock...

    I'm going to have to do a wrecker run next time I am in the city - $15 for a gas tank skid is so cheap!

    Nice haul - which wrecker did you go to? I've been looking for some skids, but not a ton of options up here on the upper coast.

    Multiple CEL codes after re-installing engine.

    Maybe double check your ground wires.

    better towing capacity

    Probably the best upgrade would be to re gear your diffs if you have not already done them.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I have replaced a lot of sway bar bushings on Chrysler products over the years for front end clunks - they will look ok but will still clunk. The Caravans were the worst. Might be worth a new set of bushings - they are pretty inexpensive. Could also be the shock too - if it is leaking then could...

    How to diagnose a bad front diff?

    I have seen bearings (wheel and diff) only make noise when under load - ie - car is driving down the road. If you don't want to buy the chassis ears maybe it is time to take it to a shop. I'm sure a good shop can diagnose the problem within an hour.

    Coil 6 Insufficient Ionization, Multiple Cylinder Misfire, Fuel Injector 4 Circut/Open

    You don't need to remove the injectors to check them - just have to unplug them. Which spark plugs did you put in?

    Coil 6 Insufficient Ionization, Multiple Cylinder Misfire, Fuel Injector 4 Circut/Open

    Did you check the fuel injectors impedance with a meter to see if #4 is open and compare it to the other ones? You could have a bad ignition coil driver in the pcm for the other code - pull the #6 coil out and stick one of the old spark plugs in the end, ground the plug to the engine, and fire...

    2004 Liberty, signs of a failing PCM or bad grounds?

    Were you checking voltages at the relay with it plugged in or did you have it out? I would pull the relay out and make sure you have 12 volts at pin 86 and a good ground at pin 85 - the bottom of the picture is cut off but I assume after it goes through the range switch it goes to ground? I like...

    Rear end whining on power - How to diagnose cause?

    Personally - I would go for the rebuild instead of a used assy - buying used is a bit of a dice roll, you could be golden or get a worn out diff that never had the oil changed. I like to just do the job once - hate doing a job over because someone wanted used parts installed. Is the noise a...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Jeep got a new upper ball joint/control arm and a few conduit nuts to level the front and get rid of the lean to the pass side.

    How to diagnose a bad front diff?

    Get it up in the air, climb under it, and run it in 4wd - if it is the front diff making noise it will be pretty obvious
