RE: Re: RE: college Hey guys what brand/model shocks do you run on your rig. How much lift do you have and what kind of wheeling do you do. Would you buy them again? Thanks

How did you deal with the transfer shifter case linkage?

RE: water in auto transmission Hey gang, I want to install a 1" body lift on my TJ and was looking for feedback on brands to buy. I'm looking for a complete kit that is easy to install and comes with all the hardware required. Also are you satisfied with yours? Does it squeak? Thanks, Derrel

Hi all, I have a 1999 Dodge RamVan 1500 with a 318 and automatic that I use for my work. I installed a K&N air filter when I bought the truck new. I installed a Flowmaster muffler about a month ago. Since I installed the muffler my gas milage has gone from 13.5 mpg to 8-9 mpg. with no change...

Thanks alot for the input guys. I did have the oil changed at Zip Lube the other day and never thought to check up on them. I checked the oil level and it was a quart too full. When I drained the oil down to the proper level the guage went back to normal. You guys are great! Thanks again, Derrel

Hi All, I noticed last night on my way home that the needle on my oil pressure guage was all the way to the right reading 80. I've never noticed it before but 40 is straight up and I thought that most of the time straight up is normal. The temp is normal and it runs great. Any comments? 2000...

45 and feel young. Derrel

Go for #5. Low miles, 6 cyl, and good price. Good luck!

I checked the rear end and there is a metal tag bolted to the diff cover that says that it's a limited slip. Desert Rat says that it's an open diff. and that I'd notice when going around corners it would chatter if it was limited slip. Sounds like BS to me. Anybody know where I can find...

I loosened both ends on the track bar and there is no way to move it. I'm thinking about ordering an ajustable track bar but really don't want to spend the money right now if I don't have to.

Thanks for the idea Craig I'll try that this week.

I live in the desert so there isn't much grass around but there is LOTS of sand. If I stomp on it on a dirt road from a dead stop both rear tires spin equally for as long as I keep the gas on.

Hey guys, I noticed the other day that my rear tires aren't centered on the body of my Wrangler. It seems that the axle is about 1" offset to the passenger side. Can I ajust the track bar to re center the axle or should I have it aligned? Any ideas? Thanks, Derrel

Hey all, I was told by Jeep that my Wrangler had a limited slip rear with 3.73's. I changed the oil in both diff's and the transfer case a couple of weeks ago and both the front and rear diffs looked the same inside to me (D44 rear/D30 front). My question is how can you tell the difference...

BTW Mingez the crest got 18" of new snow yesterday, almost 6 feet total! I'm going skiing today. Happy Trails, Derrel

Thanks for the input guys. I am planning to install an auto locker at the same time (Powertrax, EZ locker, etc.) but that wasn't included in the $1200.00. They said they would install it for the same labor plus $400 for the unit. Mingez I live in Ventana Ranch way out on the West Mesa near the...

Hey guys, I have a 2000 TJ Sahara with a 4.0 / Auto running 32" tires with 3.73 gears. Desert Rat tells me I should change my gears to 4.10's for $1200.00 installed. Opinions? Thanks, Derrel

Interesting XJ Hi Mike, I have a 2000 TJ 4.0 Auto and it also came with 30" tires. I installed 2" Teraflex coil spring spacers and 32's and I love it. I'd stay away from body lifts, the spring spacers were easy to install and cheap. Good luck! Derrel

I sold them locally, Thanks!

I have a 2000 Sahara and with stock alloys and 31s my front tires rubbed at full lock. I bought new rims with more offset so they don't rub anymore. I also installed a 2" coil spring lift after. Derrel
