this may sound like a dumb question.. and I may get the response of "duh"
for posting it but..
is it normal to need to get under your 1+ year (new nov 02) old Jeep and
tighten loose oil/tranny pan bolts ?  I am now seeing reddish (assuming

Today after a hard weekend of offroading (rockclimbing & deep mud) I noticed
some foam on the upper part of my dipstick and my oil had some milky film
spots to it.  I'm hoping it's not a blown head gasket as I've no indication
of fluid loss (yet).  And no indication of ...

Speaking of body lifts....
 I'm thinking of putting a 1" body lift on my '82 Scrambler, using the
urethane "bushing" kit.  My body mounts are all factory (read: destroyed), and
i'm sure the hardware needs replaced as i live in the rust/salt belt (PA).  I

Hi guys/gals,
Well, my TJ is pretty much apart in the garage.  I've got a Rubicon 4.5
Super Flex lift, 35" tires and the ring & Pinion is being changed in the
diffs.  I'm going to 488's.

Well Mike and John S., you guys were right that it wasn't my brake rotors!
I think it's a bit more serious than a U-joint though....
I think it is an axle issue.  Taking John Sevey's advice I jacked it up
again, turned the wheels to full lock and tried to spin each side.

How does the EGR system work on a CJ7 with a 258?  Specifically, what
exactly does the ported vac line do?  Does it actually pull the exhaust
gases into the carb, or does it simply open the EGR valve?  Suppose the
EGR ported vac line is not hooked to the carb, but the EGR valve is

I am leasing a 2003 Liberty (v6, 4x4), and after a year (about 30,000KM), I'm
finding the gas mileage to be very poor, much worse than the posted standards
which are (10L/100KM highway, 14/100KM City).
I get about 500KM on a tank, and that's mostly highway! On a 70 litre tank that ...

Well, I finally got around to tweaking the new weber carb today (k551
from carbs.net) for my 258 (86 cj7 computer bypassed). I can't seem to
get a decent idle curb idle speed without turning the idle scew in at
least 3 turns, and all the information for the weber says it shouldn't

Anybody looking for a Scrambler (CJ8) .  Nobody wanted these when new and
now they go for a bunch.  This is a nice one.

I appologize if this is a cross post.  People over in alt.jeep-l
suggested i post here...
Let me preface this by saying I only know a bit about cars.  I can
change a serpentine belt and replace disk brakes, but that's about

It's time to give the XJ a tune up. It's had a tune up from a dealer at
about 26,000 (long story), but I'm now up to 80,000 (appox.). The only
things I've done so far is oil and filter changes, air filter, new trans
fluid, and greased the joints.

I am looking at buying a 98 cherokee sport, while test drive, I feel like
the interiror is quite noise, I mean it's more noisy than most of the pick
up truck of the same year. Is it normal or some sort of sound proof material
damage?

Just put a rebuilt Holly carb on my CJ7's 304.
She runs fine, the install was clean BUT,
three things are unclear:
1) the Holly has an extra tube connector that

I know that Bill d/n like K&N's but I already had one before I found out.
Anyway I purchased a FIPK Kit 12/20/00 & installed it shortly thereafter. It
seemed to be a little inconvenient to take off the filter wash it & let it
dry overnight, then oil & reinstall. I finally figured ...
