I ordered an aluminum valve cover for my 258.  Does anyone know the
proper torque spec for the bolts?  I have searced google groups and the
internet and have seen people suggest 13 inch lbs to 19 ft lbs.  btw, I
know that 19 ft lbs is way too much :)  Thanks.

The shift stick on my 92 YJ has a lot of play, when in gear, the top can
move in a 4" dia circle.  I drive my brothers YJ the other day, and his
stick is much tighter.  What parts do I need to replace to fix this?

I found something out the other day at NAPA just on a hunch
I asked them if they give a discount to Postal People & the
guy said "Sure do" & knocked off like 15%, never asked me
for any ID or anything & I never said I worked at the PO but

I just installed BFG A/T but I have not been able to find the air
pressure I should use. The door jamb has 33psi for the 215x75x15 but
that rides very harsh on these. I am at 30psi for now and the ride is
better. This is a 2004 Wrangler X. My 1999 Isuzu Amigo rode great at

Ok, I put Mobil 1 synth in the axles and Dana300 (75w 90), and now I want to
change the oil in the T-5.  My AMC shop manual calls for ATF, and my
owner's manual calls for GL5 gear oil.  I have read that GL5 is bad for the
syncros in a manual transmission.  So what is the best oil ...

I occasionally have to load up my `89 Cherokee (4.0, auto, 4WD) with
several hundred pounds of gear for work.  These are generally one-day
affairs and usually under 200 miles round-trip a few times a year.  When I
do this she's a bit nose-high and going down by the stern, but still ...

Anybody know where I can find those little plastic pieces that fit in
the door for the soft top window poles to slide into?  It sounds like
I have a birds nest in my TJ these days...

Well, after changing the spark plugs and serpentine belt, I was going to do
the fuel filter. However, in looking in the shop manual, it seems that
changing it is going to be a PITA.
Soo, the question is how often should it be changed? This way I know whether

So, here is the deal.  My brother just got his license.  Within the first
week he decided it would be a good idea to take my former Grand Cherokee on
a muddy trail during a heavy rain storm (he is not a smart person).  Anyway,
he managed to go off the trail and into a drainage ditch ...

Anyone had a lubrico warranty denied becuase they had altered their
vehicle slightly ? I replaced the suspension on my jeep with a
Skyjacker 3 inch lift kit. Are they likely to honour the warranty
still ?

Do bug deflectors really work on a TJ?  My wife had an Explorer that had one
and she cracked it on a light wire during a blizzard and when I removed it
and you couldn't tell a bit of difference.  The Explorer was not the rock
and bug magnet the TJ is.
