    woodpecker under my jeep?

    1043703 man how creepy this is, my 95 yj does the exact same thing already described. I just finished a pain in the ass distributor swap the other night and after I got the jeep fired up again I really noticed that rattling sound, couldn't pinpoint it, now I have some ideas. It comes and goes...

    drive belt removal

    1043961 I just spent a couple hours trying to figure out that same problem so I could remove the first cylinder's spark plug, ( My jeep has A/C and the pump sits right above the 1st plug). I have a 95 YJ too, except mine's got the six. The way I loosened the belt on mine was to loosen up the...

    91 yj, 4.0 engine tapping

    1044415 I had a really loud tapping sound coming from my 95 yj with the 4.0, turned out the distributor bushings were shot, so after I replaced my distributor, the knocking went away. Although....now that I think about it, the knocking only started after it warmed up, but might be something to...

    radio problem please help!!!!

    1046999 I had a similiar problem with the radio in my 95 YJ, the face plate kept blacking out whenever I hit a bump. It took 2 hours and a torn apart dash to fix the problem. Turned out the yellow battery lead was plugged into the front of fuse board using this odd adapter that mounts onto a...

    changing u joints

    1047324 The 100 dollars is the deductable each time I have the jeep into the shop to be serviced. I only bought my yj about 5 months ago. I didn't really look to much into the warranty naively thinking everything would be sweet like candycanes. Basically everytime it goes into the shop, its a...

    changing u joints

    1047409 aah, the story you tell has been haunting my dreams at night. I figured the front axle u joints would be tough, even the Haynes Manual says have a mechanic do it. With this new information I think I'll pay to have it fixed then. I will finally be able to use 4 wheel drive and turn...

    1042875 I had a hunch u joints had something to do with it. Now the real question is should I have the u joints replaced on warranty and pay the deductible or just do the work myself. Thanks for the information and help.[addsig]

    comman trac part time 4 wheel drive

    1042797 I bought a 95 YJ recently with the archaic command trac system in place of 4 high. The other day on a lark I engaged it to see if and when it would kick into 4 wheel drive. Didn't really notice anything except that when I turn, it has a pronounced wobble to it and during really slow...

    Loud knocking sound

    1042956 So I'm checking fluids and whatnot on the jeep last night and while the motor's running I hear this loud knock coming from the engine bay. Using the old screwdriver method I pinpointed the noise to the distrubitor. I took the cap off and everything looked semi-normal except for some...

    changing u joints

    1047292 The front u joints on my 95 yj need to be changed. I've been considering doing it myself, or having the jeep dealership do it. If the jeep dealership does it, its a 100 bucks under warranty, or I can do it myself. It looks like a simple enough job but..... Anybody done this before?[addsig]
