has anyone heard anything about these Black Diamond suspension lifts that quatratec is selling? they're not that expensive, but i was wondering if they're junk.

they just called back. they tested it and found the sending unit was bad. $126 for labor, testing, and parts. $70 for the damn sending unit alone. I called advance auto and it'd cost me $50 there and then I'd have to figure out where it was and how to replace it myself, since it was nowhere...

whelp, just dropped her off at the shop. thanks for all the concern guys. I'm betting, and the service guy is betting it's just a bad sending unit, but you're all right, better safe than sorry. not worth blowing an engine over. we'll see what they say when i get her back.

ok, the latest. went to lunch, started the jeep and it was running around 20 psi. not the usual 40, but hey, I'll take it. ran fine to lunch. got out of lunch, started jeep, 0 psi. shut it off, start it again, 0 psi. did this about 3 times....on the 4th start, went straight up to 40 psi...

I guess I was thinking either the oil pump or even worse a cam bearing.

Hey all. My '97 TJ's been acting weird lately. This morning I woke up and started driving to work. I got about a quarter mile down the road and noticed that she was being kind of hesitant. Wasn't knocking or anything, just kind of jerked when I let the clutch out like there wasn't enough...

Building an Exhaust we jeepers do share a pretty cool bond. if you're ever broke down, or in a bind, you can always count on a fellow jeeper to lend a hand. it's pretty awesome. as far as jeep chicks go, y'all are the bomb. personally, I really hope the girl that I marry is down with the...

rotating the spare. What are the reasons you guys aren't fans of the independent front suspension?

I was looking at my tires the other day and realized that if I needed to use my spare, the diameter of the spare tire is a lot bigger than the diameter of the other 4 tires on my jeep, probably by a good inch, due to wear. If I had to put that spare on and drive any significant distance, that...

1043701 The O2 sensor on my 97 TJ fits upstream from the cat in the downpipe. You must have done a whole lotta cutting to cut that out of the system. Was the cat a direct fit?[addsig]

1044281 I ran 31s on my 91 YJ on 8" wheels, but I'm not sure what the backspacing was. They did rub on the flares a bit. The easy fix was to put a 1" shackle lift on it. That worked pretty well. They stopped rubbing after that, plus a shackle lift is really cheap and easy and it looks better...

1044303 The biggest shackle lift I've ever seen is an inch and a half. But I think if you do any type of shackle or suspension lift, if you go over 2.5 inches, you need to start messing around with the pitman arm and transfer case, etc. [addsig]

1062336 I ran the codes and got a 72, which translated says, "catalyst efficiency below required level", or something like that. That and the rattling sound from underneath led me to believe that it was the catalytic converter that was at fault. I guess once that's replaced and the engine...

1063733 Just had a garage replace both the front and rear pinion seals. Turns out they were both leaking. Seems odd that they both went at the same time. Could this be an indication of something bigger being wrong or is it just one of those things that goes bad?[addsig]

1063804 Haven't driven through any water since I've had it. Can't guarantee that the previous owner didn't though. The shop didn't mention anything about water being in the fluid either. Of course I don't think they drained them, they probably just topped them off. Maybe I'll change the...

1063805 I was actually thinking DeWalt, but I may end up going with Milwaukee. [addsig]

1059063 my gauge is always messed up. it's a fun game to guess where the needle is going to land whenever I fill up. but it is consistent in that whenever the light comes on, it has exactly 5 gallons left in the tank. I've just learned to ignore the needle and go based on mileage and that...

1059113 Thanks for the tips Jeepin. Guess I'll have to go steal my jackstands back off my dad. I was planning on getting a high flow cat. The only one I've found is that Random Technologies unit that Quadratec sells. Anyone have any experience with this one or know a better (or cheaper)...

1059257 Thanks for the heads up JeepGuy. I only have 72K on my Jeep, but I'm not looking to replace the cat with and OEM one, so I don't think this will apply to me. I'd rather put on a high flow piece. It looks like I'll probably end up going with the random technologies cat. thanks for...

1059268 dingus, that is perhaps the single greatest idea I've ever heard. I'm calling the dealership this afternoon. edited by: indiemo, Mar 11, 2003 - 10:37 AM[addsig]
