94ZJ 42RE transmission problem AAAAAHHHHHH!!!! I was having Jeepz withdrawels. :lol:

throw out bearing...part 1 I hate automatic transmissions!!! But for the wifes sake I got one in my ZJ. Now here is the problem. When I left from work yesterday and I put the shifter in drive it felt powerless like it was in third gear. When I put the shifter in 1 I do get first gear...

If you had $500............ I will vouch that the albany's do squeal a little during light braking. However they have always stopped the jeeps I have. They do not squeal under heavy braking though.

If mine did not come with the factory racks I would have built a rack to mount to the gutters myself. I think the safari racks are more versatile. and are not as flimsy as the factory setup. It will definatly be easier to install.

The factory roof rack only has rated capacity of about 150 LBS. I made a roof rack out of alum tubing then I used hose clamps to mount it to the exsisting roof rack. My thoughts were if I spread the load more evenly it have any problems and it has not had any. I only use the roof to carry a...

The Fab shop I work for has a powdercoating facility as well. I have seen several sets of rims come out of there. Powdercoating is really thick and durable and bonds great as long as surface is etched first. I personally agree with tug-n-pull as far as the solid black looks to plain. A crome...

There are many gun owners who have had there own guns turned on them. The split second decision to take a life to save your own is not a decision faced my people in their day to day lifes. Since you dont believe if guns I am going to assume you dont believe in taking a life for any reason. So...

You might ask your mechanic to add more weld and to turn up his welder. I am sure you may have a decent mechanic but a welder he is not. I weld for a living and my track bar relocation bracket broke on my XJ with good welds. Not something you want welded halfa$$. Just a suggestion good luck.

turbo charged 2.5 My wife's ZJ has the overhead information center with compass, fuel economy, etc. The problem I have is that it will all of a sudden the gas guage will go to empty and the Distance till empty guage will go to zero and then will go back to normal almost instantly. I have...

Hiem joints is the name most commonly used for them. Some of your major industrial catalogs such as MSC and grainger have a variety of them. They are made from different materials "stainless or galvanized steel", some even claim to be lubed for life. I have used a set of stainless ones for my...

jeepin' words!! I have had a starter case actually break. All it would do is click the soleniod. Then after a few "love taps" with a hammer the soleniod engaged all the way to where the starter windings got voltage. however with the case broken it would not turn and I ended up burning up the...

No, ZJ's dont get many waves in this area. Too may yuppies drive them as their DD's. The only way to get a wave is to have some modification to the outside of the jeep to indicate that is actually used offroad. I do get lots of people pointing and smiling at my lifted ZJ and that is just as...

Well I quess that answers my question then. I was thinking how I had thought at the time it would not have been an easy fit. The Trans am motor looked a little long to fit if I remember correctly. I believe he was looking at putting his radiator in front of the grill if he had to.

I was going through some pictures of an old Trans am I once had and had remembered I traded it to a guy how wanted to put the 403 Olds powerplant in his CJ. I dont know if he ever got it in there I was in the service at the time and left soon after I traded it. I was just curious what was the...

regardless what my wife thinks you can never have too many Jeeps.

Thanks for the clarification XJNICK. I kinda thought that was your concern but I wasnt for sure. I do like the idea of using a diode for a switch type setup. I have never heard of that one before.

I understand the use of the diode for charging the battery when using a switch type setup. This would allow the alternator to charge the battery when running yet not allow any current draw from the battery unless switched to on. My question is what makes you nervous about having two batteries...

ZJ stuff is hard to find and there is not many choices out there. 4wheeldrive hardware has been good to me. I do like to look through quadretec they do have some ZJ stuff but are gennerally a few dollars more but not much. I difinatly look at shipping charges.

The way I have seen dual battery setups is to use a ford type soleniod mounted on the firewall to connect the batteries in parellel. You can either switch manually with a toggle switch or have it connected to your ignition switch to where when you switch the ign on you will connect your...

I thought my wifes jeep was bad. She loves tweety and has him everywhere on her jeep. Seats, steering wheel cover, floormats, and pretty much everwhere she can put one.
