well looks like I'm striking out. Ran fine for a whole day. Started acting up again today when I left for work. Unreal. With winter approaching this IS my daily / winter vehicle

Yea the 10% thing is nice - covers the tax for me but sometimes the parts are ridiculous when aftermarket could work the same if not better. All depends on what part/s it is
Seems on the KJs very few parts work better than MOPAR
and non better I'd much rather spend a nickle more today than spend a dollar a few weeks down the road
Just like one guy made fun of me for going with a MOPAR radiator
he went cheap, 11 radiators later in less than two years he went MOPAR
Tri - links, cheap ones 3 months for me, MOPAR miles and miles

I usually just order the real Mopar stuff at one of those on line wholesale places like Moparonlineparts or Factorychryslerparts if I can't find it on Rockauto, ebay or Amazon. I don't have a convenient dealer on my daily route. I order my Ford stuff online at Fordparts.com and pickup at a local dealer. I get great pricing doing that (well as good as it gets for Ford/Motorcraft stuff). Don't think I've ever seen an on line Mopar network like that.
BTW anyone know a good Chrysler dealership around Albany/Troy NY? Need a recall done on my Avenger and it's "out of town" right now.

One of the best local dealers in the Albany area is Goldstein.
So I did this today:
working on upgrading to power heated leather seats... found some... uhhhh... residue under the carpet and center console. Needless to say - YUCK. Somebody had a dog that loved soda apparently because it was a sticky hairy mess under there. I took the wire brush on the drill to remove some surface rust and painted it flat silver over the whole area. No major issues, just one too many sodas (beer) got spilled and not cleaned up by the original owner. And the damn dog hair... nasty.puke.gif
Check out my journal for more details on the progress - or lack there-of - on my seats.

Threw in another 4.10 rear diff yesterday. Not much difference since I had 4.10s before but through some wheeling and dealing traded a 48 Harley gas tank for a DTT, brand new one still in the box. Great deal since I picked up the gas tank a few years back for next to nothing. :gr_grin:
Was going to do this a week or so ago but you know how life happens:emotions34:
Now to hook my enclosed trailer on, load up some furniture in it and head to Winston-Salem NC. My wife found a nice place to move to finally after a month being down there and looking.
Also finally got that last bit of vibration out of the driveline. Only had some at 45-50 at WOT. But annoying so adjusted the JBA bolt on a little, drive it, adjust a bit more and done !

P0301 is back this morning. Occasionally stumble at idle. Drives fine. Then is started missing again and triples the light. I can't win with this jeep. If I can't figure anything out I'll post a thread and list ecerything I've checked so far.

Mine kept doing something like that too. It would only act up occasionally when it was cold, but steadily got worse. I changed plugs, checked coils, put in injector cleaner and even got the dealer ship stumped.
Long story short, by O2 sensor was bad. It didn't throw a code itself because it was still providing voltage within the spec range, even though the voltage provided was incorrect.
Give it a shot, maybe?

Interesting. I had a p0153 come and go.
Edit besides $160 on mopar - is denso a good equivalent?

No, only get NTK or Mopar. NTK ones are $35 at my local O'reillys.
It's easier to swap the rear axle/front diff from a 4 cylinder. I was able to swap my rear axle in the street with some basic tools but I did use an air gun to break some bolts loose so if you don't have air tools you'll need a big breaker bar.
No not for a newbie , and not something you learn on YouTube
Takes the right tools etc
I used to do gear swaps back years ago but last set I had done just let someone do it that does it daily
And yes if you can find a low mileage 4 cylinder and swap over both diffs
