Jeep Driver

Sounds like a collapsed lifter to me.

Mopar version is no doubt $80-90K........all the goodies, as you say. Stripped version, base will be $60K Chrysler is not, has never been, known for their transmissions........7600lbs is pure BS long term. And, regardless, it's a JL. Bed size is the same as my Frontier, it's worthless as a 'truck', nothing to brag about. JT is for guys with money and small........well, you know.

Cool, happy for you.

34+ years in the trades and never had one. Measure off the side of a receptacle, 16" OC, generally. Every wall gives framing away if you know what to look for.

I was not defending the concept of a grouping of parts as a 'kit', if you have paid any attention to my posts (attitude) you would know that I think 'kits' are for dummies. DUI sells the cap and rotor separately. I bought the Elchin from NAPA and paid more than the DUI. Try to find a truly custom made high quality 10mm wire set that is numbered and insulated and in a color of your choice for the 2.5 or 4.0........you cannot, so, $100 is a good deal. (and further- you can no longer find a set with a 90 degree boot on the #1 plug to clear the AC compressor, DUI does) A set of Taylor wires will cost you just as much if not more and will not be insulated. I responded to the 'pixie dust' comment and the point was that as separate parts they are no more expensive than any other parts, grouped or not. And you can make what you want of this-

DUI cap and rotor in brass is $27 which is about $3 cheaper than other brands......IN BRASS. Wires are the best on the market, bar none, will run just under $100. Kit is sold for $175 and includes coil........coil will run you $50 no matter where or what. I have wires for the 2.5, they are worth the money. You want quality, you pay a few bucks more......or you can buy cheap $#!&, up to you. But, a little perspective.

If it's engine temp related, it's engine related. Not drive line. If it bucks and idle varies and goes low as you state, it's engine related. I don't care who or what or how proud they are of it.........I build my own engines, I want to know. Everyone is going to piss in the breeze until you figure this out.

Is it really running that hot?

No, not really. Masters, slaves, TOBs, pressure plates, clutch discs, shifters, nylon bushings, they all wear out. One must be present to discern. One must have general mechanical ability and knowledge and aptitude. Whether it takes me an hour or a few minutes, with some effort I can always work through a problem or at least determine what my problem is. Getting information from some of you is worse than pulling teeth, too much effort, has become a bore. And further, in my experience, and in the experience of others, moving to the Hurst/Core solved my shifting problems. Hurst/Core will cost you $250, Jeep people are cheap and I get tired of repeating myself to deaf ears. If you have an AX15 or an AX5/4 and you have a shifting problem and you know for a fact it is not in the case/gears- Replace- Clutch disc, TOB, pressure plate- LUK Master/slave unit- Mopar Shifter- Hurst/Core Fluids/seals And you'll be good for another 100K++++ Now get off your @$$ and get to work.

Find the irony.

Make your own adapter.

You say you wash the belt with soap and water which tells me it was saturated with oil and a saturated belt cannot be cleaned and it will chirp

See last page

Yawn. Unimaginative and overpriced.

Yep, supply and demand. Simplicity does not require an article.

According to your vid.......your engine started and ran on 0 fuel pressure, you need to figure that one out. Defies logic, unless the injectors are dumping fuel.

Amazing......

MPI is not going start on 2lbs and it's not going to idle at 15lbs. Gauge behaves as a TBI with a weak pump. Doubt it's a 91.

I will.

You have TBI? If so, pressure should instantly rise to 15-17lbs and remain there. If TBI, pressure is supposed to bleed off to 0 immediately after shut down.

Buy new, not used.

I have had the AT3s on our XJ, good tire, wears extremely well. See Hankook Dynapro ATm, that's what we have now and we're happy, IIRC it was about $630 mounted and balanced.
