    07 wrangler engine swap questions

    The re manufactured engine place said they would void the warranty if I re use my old one, since there was metal bits all in there. My mechanic and I are both calling around salvage yards locally to see what we can find. He also said he may have found a place that remanufactures those timing...

    07 wrangler engine swap questions

    Yeah it sucks. It’s very pricy I assume, because the oil pump is built in. But I’m already stretching myself on the replacement engine. And I know that there are kits for pulling the pump out of that cover and replacing that, and that seems like you could get in there and get it pretty well...

    07 wrangler engine swap questions

    So my 07 is finally in the shop getting a remanufactured engine put in. Engine failure due to pushrod bearing going bad. In the oil pan there was a lot of metal bits. The re-manufactured engine doesn’t come with the timing cover/oil pump assembly. The mechanic is telling me we shouldn’t re-use...

    Tj steering issues, maybe

    Hmm that drag link bed or lack there of is curious…it could be something that was “fixed” as they were trying to get it on the road after it got totaled. Previous owner said it got hit on that side. I ordered a new adjustment sleeve for the drag link to get my steering wheel centered but maybe...

    Tj steering issues, maybe

    I tried getting pictures of the under side but I wasn’t able to get it up in the air and get the tires off yet…too busy flushing my rad and heater core…previous owner decided to make mud in the rad by mixing coolants. he told me there was a thermostat issue, so he swapped it with a lower temp...

    Tj steering issues, maybe

    I’ll post some pics when I get out of work today. see I measured the front springs according to something I read on these forums and that’s how I came up with the 6 inch lift. But since I have read like 3-4 different ways you can measure to tell what lift you have and all of them disagree, I...

    Tj steering issues, maybe

    The control arms were on my list of parts to chase around until I solve this. can anyone tell me how to measure or where it’s supposed to be set? when I get adjustables, how do I know where to adjust them too? I can’t go with the same length as the stock ones obviously

    Tj steering issues, maybe

    So the steering geometry looks good, all parallel and what not. but the control arms look stock. I know it is common for people to slap a lift on a wrangler and call it done, making an undrivable mess. Maybe the stock control arms are too short ����*♂️ how would I be...

    Tj steering issues, maybe

    So I just got an 02 Tj that has an R title, and the previous owner says it was in a front end collision on the passenger side. the frame want bent (so I was told) but all the motor mounts needed to be replaced and they were. The Jeep also has what I measured to be a 6inch lift, steering geometry...

    Engine is going bad, what options for replacement?

    Couple of reasons, 1) I’m not confident in my ability to rebuild it. 2) I can’t have the vehicle down while I learn to rebuild it, so it would be faster if I can just drop in a replacement. I would probably rebuild it in my spare time, after the replacement

    Engine is going bad, what options for replacement?

    So I have an 07 wrangler with a 3.8 v6 the engine is going, and I am going to need to replace it. if I can not find a direct replacement, what other options do I have for engines that will bolt up to the tranny and that the pcm and wiring harness won’t be an issue? motor mounts are not an issue...

    07 wrangler, stalling at idle/traffic lights.

    it idles a little lower than 1000 when sitting at a red light. the not starting, the engine doesn’t even crank, it just click and nothing. I’m pretty sure I hear the fuel pump kick on but I’ll check again next time it does it. it’s just weird that if I put it in neutral, it will start after it...
