    What did you do to your jeep today?

    s Just the OME.... for now ;) On the Ram you may have more room than on the XK. On the XK driver's side the power distribution center makes it a little tight to get the socket down the spark plug tube. What made it much easier was the cordless right angle ratchet I used - there's not much...

    Uh oh! ID this bolt?

    Possibly a bolt from the diff cover? Has the same type of flange but may be too long, not sure. That happened to me when I was in high school and rebuilt the engine in my '73 Roadrunner. It had a 340 Six Pack and my dad told me to put all the nuts and bolts in separate containers by component...

    Mopar 7 pin trailer wiring harness - no tail lights

    It is weird - that's what I thought but since I wanted to have brake controller capability I just installed both. Yes, the supplemental harness has to be run from the right rear panel in the cargo area to behind the dash and then one wire through the firewall to the battery. It's actually not...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Duratracs are a GREAT tire - especially in snow. Really good in rain too - and didn't get loud until the last 1000 miles or so. But I've gotten almost 80,000 miles out of them... Ha! Guess you changed trucks instead of plugs, eh? ;) The project looks more daunting than it is. Once the engine...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    The title of this thread doesn't mention which Jeep I worked on today... ;) Gave the Commander a good wash for first time since some paint and bodywork at a local shop. And yes, it needs springs and shocks. About to place an order with JBA on an OME spring/shock setup... Then decided...

    Mopar 7 pin trailer wiring harness - no tail lights

    If your KJ did NOT come with an EVIC from the factory you have to purchase the "supplemental harness" to complete the install. I never did figure out why the additional harness is necessary but my KJ didn't come with an overhead EVIC from the factory nor with a hitch or trailer harness. I...

    Dead Pedal / left foot rest pics?

    Tom, I love that idea. That spot has always just seemed to be wasted space - having a way to get power to the offroad lights is brilliant. I'll be watching... ;) Bob

    No start after crank & cam sensor replacement???

    Replied in your other thread but reading back through your posts in this thread answered my questions. I'd guess that the loose harmonic balancer bolt allowed the timing gear to ride funny on the crankshaft and the timing gear wore the keyway so that the timing is now off just enough to create...

    Coolant leak no puddle on ground

    That's the usual spot for the crack to appear. Look for white residue below the upper radiator hose - when the coolant dries or evaporates a residue remains and confirms the leak. Just replaced mine last week due to a crack in the same place. There's 210,000 miles on my KJ now and the original...

    Pics of..

    I did a similar Pioneer head unit - the AVH3600BHS. Works well, has all the Pioneer apps including Dash Command for monitoring the KJ via the onboard computer, mapping apps, music and entertainment, bluetooth, blah blah blah. To piggyback on what Teeje said, here's a pic of what gets cut out...

    Broken crank keyway?

    I agree - should be fixable. Really wondering how in the world the thing got damaged...? There's not a lot of stress right there - the timing chain system is geared in such a way that it's pretty easy to turn the chains even when actuating the cams under full compression. Is there an issue...

    Antifreeze disappearing

    The heat returned because there was enough coolant to flow through the heater core - so as the air blew over the core it was warmed. The coolant is either being lost from a hole or crack in the radiator, a leak around the water pump, or a bad head gasket. My bet is on the radiator - it's a...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    My memory ain't what it used to be but as I remember the original radiator came right out with no rust issues. But this one - Ugh :favorites68: Bob
