    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    Hopefully Chrysler will fix my Jeep today! They have it scheduled for today anyway. It's been there since Monday morning. We leave for Reno tomorrow. Not driving the Jeep. Going to take the Explorer.

    Possible Recall 2002-2007?

    I asked my dealer about it on Monday and all the whole crew of guys could do is laugh. They have a book 4 pages thick with a waiting list. He said it will probably be a year and a half or more before they will even get started.

    Enigne knocking/ticking

    Got my engine from them. So far it is very strong, and mechanic said it started right up after only a few turns of the crank. I have a misfire issue, but I don't attribute that to the engine. Sounds great, and feels really strong. Took it in a trip 100 miles round trip and got 18.75 MPG and with...

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    Ya'all are funny. On a number of threads I read, ONLY USE NGKs and NEVER use Autolites or Champions, and now that I follow what was more than a recommendation, and not by one but by many, I get told, Oh what you had were fine, I hate to see you waste your money Autolites are fine. No big deal. I...

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    Well, with all of the talk on the right plugs on here, I made sure I put in the ones that have been recommended. My Jeep is at Chrysler now. We dropped it off this morning. They can't get to it until at least Wednesday. Glad I bought another truck. I am leaving Thursday morning at 6am.

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    OK... Been trying to diagnose this all weekend. Bought 6 new spark plugs, NGK Copper type. No help. (Engine builder sent Autolite Platinums.) Swapped fuel injectors with no. 1 cylinder. No help. Using a noid light, I tested the wire for the fuel injector. When I start the engine, the first...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Just the pulleys for right now. That's all I could find in stock, here in town. I'll keep an eye on the belt though and keep what you said in mind. Thanks!

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Broke my Libby out of bondage at the shop. Drove a hundred miles, found the whine sound source and replaced the two tension pulleys to fix it. Gave her a hug and welcomed her home!

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    I think it is getting closer. Not quite there yet though! Yeah, About that! LOL (banghead) <<That's how I'm feeling right now. I may check the spark plugs in the AM myself to see what they look like.

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    Well, I got my Libby back. I took a road trip for a 100 mile round trip. Used 5.335 gal for an average MPG of 18.74. 10% was city. The check engine light never came on, but Ed the mechanic let me take his OBDII code scanner home with me, and he told me to drive it with it linked. At the half...

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    Well, I went down and they still hadn't received ECM yet. They called who will be bringing it and he said he has it on his desk and will drive it out tomorrow for sure. I told the mechanic not to leave before it was done tomorrow. He said "I promise, I will get it finished tomorrow!" We'll...

    I couldn't find a nice way to say that. Good job CJ!

    Broken Water Pump? Did I ruin my Jeep??

    As mine was, when you accelerate you hear it more pronounced. It turned out that the wrist pins on the rod had ovaled out and the play in them was causing the tick that eventually turned into a bang, bang, bang, bang sound. At that point, stop driving it and have it checked out by Chrysler...

    Anyone on here have a Ford Explorer? Advice needed, please help.

    Did some research and found where the truck came from and which Ford dealer did the services when needed. Then I called and talked to the service manager and although he could not go into too much specifics, he was able to verify that the vehicle had been owned by an individual up until a...

    Broken Water Pump? Did I ruin my Jeep??

    When you go pick up your Jeep, you need to listen very carefully to the engine and see if you hear any ticking at all. If there is, it will only be a matter of time before it fails. A shop that does not know what HOAT is, wouldn't be one I would use. It is imperative to use HOAT in these...

    Broken Water Pump? Did I ruin my Jeep??

    Scary! Mine never even overheated and my engine blew at 134000 miles. Oil light came on once for about 10 seconds until I gave it gas and then it went off. No water in oil, not oil in water. Just blew. I hope your luck is better than mine. Look for my thread about a good source of getting an...
