there should be some testing procedures for the various sensors in the link in my sig TPS, MAP and the head coolant sensor can all cause weirdness

everyone gets cards and a magnet

I googled for a bit and the internet doesn't agree on the years. could range anywhere from 95-01.

late 90s. not sure the exact cutoff years. far as I know the 2.5Ls were only 2wd.

just make sure you either lease them over and over or you get the Mopar extended warranty to cover the doodads. But then that applies to most any modern rig.

yup, it has the 2.5L Jeep pattern in the front and the AX-15 pattern in the back 'cause sometimes you get tired of grenading AX-5s. (right, Pat?)

<---- this guy! no plans for it yet (don't have a 2.5 truck), but I'm sure some day it'll come in handy. funniest part of my day was dragging 40 lbs of tools out to the truck only to find that I didn't have any tool to take on the 8mm bolts of the rear ujoint to start the process. fortunately a kind soul lent me one so I didn't have to hoof it (and the aforementioned 40 lbs of tools) alllllll the way back to the parking lot to grab it. I also grabbed the ax-15 shifter just in case it's useful. I left the 2wd AX-15 though. I can afford a few bucks for a rare bellhousing, but I can't plop down 100+ for a trans I don't need.

and in this day and age, that's practically a glowing review

that's more or less par for the modern era of trucks. although some of the individual gimmicks are growing on me.

If you've already got the batteries, then it sounds like it's a winner.

I love april first

don't give up! a lot of us have been in your shoes

absolutely it's all just steel after all.

just needs a bit o' steel added in. not the first, won't be the last.

perfect for my april fools MJ

nice! I totally need a roof rack

does it shift into gears with the engine off?

great choice. I love that shade of blue

the older years didn't have them on the benches. eventually they decided that the back glass was a poor preventer of whiplash and included them. not sure why your 92 wouldn't have them. should have been standard by then. I will of course be hanging on to the bench for future Concours d'Elegance showings.

the only time I've ever had spraying oil is from a bad oil filter (if I remember right the crimp had failed)

this is so blatantly april fools laughable I can't even post this with a straight face https://www.quadratec.com/c/blog/jeep-announces-2dr-gladiator-truck?fbclid=IwAR3XRM7KNRyoXe-_eZC1g1VsW5Q3YEe_gM8X0VVyM2KpKFjItafmfRSLmeE

cranking = turning over = engine is rotating after proper starter engagement ballast resistor:

is it in a vehicle that you'd be buying/storing whole? or an engine block that will then be sitting on the floor in a corner of a shed for a couple years?

happy april 1st!
