It could be either, or even the fan motor. But, since it generally tries to run, turn the ac on and see if it stays on since it should be on when the ac is on. Then wiggle the wiring from the fan as much as you can. That should show if you have a loose connection or ground.

Yeah, they are just for looks. I told my son to take them off since someone in town will do it when he is not looking anyways

Have to be they mo ed something from the carb

Like where the frame and rear cross member meet? I think they are about 3 inches inboard of the frame mount on each side i think. It has bolts on each side of where the frame and crossmember meet and i think those shackles are over the inboard set of bolts. It uses seven 5/8" (16mm) 10.9...

Ha ha ha, crazy

Got it for cheap and put it on today. Better than the stock tin can bumper, thats for sure.

i noticed when i practiced seating the torque converter out of the jeep that its not flush with the bell housing fave when fully (3 clunks) seated. If you only have two clunks, the torque converter bolt holes are basically flush with the mating surface of the trans to the engine amd when the...

We found out that our 03 is a january build so we must have earlier lines than the later 03 this trans came from. The output shaft on the trans didnt come out on this new trans, where it came out on ours. And the cooler lines used different fittings on this trans. Last, of course, the exhaust...

And a longer flatt screw driver against the driver side bellhousing and ypu cam put the tip in the flywheel teeth to rotate the engine over and get the 4 bolts holding the torque converter to the flywheel. Ours is done. Jarrod took the jeep for a few test drives and after we changed the fluid...

Oh yeah, the top two bolts on the trans are t11 torx

We got the tcase and trans out this afternoon. Tomorrow the jeep should be driving again

maybe just change the fluid?

We are in the process of dropping our 42rle also. Finally, ha ha ha. I am letting my son do all of it and only help if its a clip or some dumb part, or when its a 2 man job. He is si anxious to be done, he took it around the neighborhood one last time before we started and said he cant wait...

No, put it under the pan. Also, support the engine in case it tries to tilt and pull any wires or put the fan into the radiator

It is heavy, the trans andnthe torque converter. When you reinstall the torque converter, make sure to read up on whether it has to "seat" a click or three. My son and i pulled his auto trans in his bmw and his torque converter had to click twice so it was seated on the pump spines properly...
