I want to establish a price on a new Wrangler Sport at the dealer, and then work the price on my trade (98 Sport with low miles). Should I offer them say, $200 over invoice and then bargain my vehicle trade price? I want to solidify one side before the other side is even considered. But I don't...

Are there any bugs they are working out? Better MPG on highway?

How are they? What changes? How is the 6 speed manual transmission doing?

Greetings. I've been browsing the group but this is my first post. I've been a CJ owner since around 1990; I'm on my second one right now. Had a break in ownership while I was stationed overseas. Here's my question. I recently did a swap from a 258 to a 304 in the Jeep. I rebuilt the 304 mostly...

I'm looking for some help on a bolt size. Need to replace the bolts that hold the front and rear shackel hangers on an '83 CJ7. Does anyone know the size, lentgh and thread count? thanks in advance

Guess this is a little OT, but the tie in is that the Jeep was originally military technology built for the same purpose this vehicle is being built for. Check out the torque specs! http://www.carbuyersnotebook.com/archives/2005/03/stealth_hybrid.htm

Hi all, Been monitoring the group and had a quick question. I've had my CJ in storage for the past year and am getting ready to redeploy this Spring and start it up again. Wanted to ask what the best way to do the initial start up is. Since it hasn't run in a year I'm assuming all the oil is...

i have an 88 yj with a 4.2 and manual trans. i recently ran into ignition problems. The car died on the road and would not turn back on. Turning the key does not make any clicking or turning sounds at all. I smelled burning and saw smoke between the battery and engine. On the relay that the...

my 88 4.2 has recently died. I was a block away from home when the car slowly stopped running. I believe it is problem with the ignition. Turning the key now does nothing, no noises at all. When i opened the hood i could smell a burning smell and saw smoke coming from the area between the...

i recently replaced my starter and solenoid. there are three bolts on the solenoid. one sticks out and had a green wire attached to it. at some point that green wire was pulled out and i dont know where it came from. The end that does not go to the starter has a rectangular plastic connector on...

my 88 4.2 as been having idle problems. in most cases it will happen when coming to a stop, or in worst cases if im not on the gas. in recent fiddling with mostly the carb and air filter, it was running fine for awhile, i was expecting the problem to start when the choke opened up so took the air...

when my car is running, usually after it gets hot, the pcv breather starts blowing white smoke. what is causing this? internet tells me the piston rings are bad and combustion is occuring where it should not. are there any other possibilities? (preferably with an easier fix). can it cause...

my 88 yj 4.2 is not getting gas to the carb. the fuel pump is new and i checked all lines between the carb and the pump. i did not check the fuel return line because i cant get the hose off. i dont know if that could cause this problem or not. the fuel filter is new too. i ran a hose from the...

i took the fuel line off of the carburetor(the metal tube part) and a 3 sided thing with a rubber tip fell out. i do not know exactly where it came from or how it goes back. anyone knw what it is?

my 88 yj has been having problems with getting gas. no gas shoots out in the carb when i hit the pedal. this happened a few weeks ago but started working again. the car was running fine until recently. when i put gas straight down the carburetor it starts and stops so i assume its just the...

i have an 88 wrangler yj, 4.2 L, 6 cyl. when driving down a hill to a stop sign, when the clutch is in the rpms drop real low and the car eventually turns off. i dont know if the downhill thing is important but that seems to be the only time it happens. any help is appreciated, thanks in...

i have an 88 wrangler yj with a 4.2 straight 6. it seems to be getting really hot under the hood. i noticed smoke coming out of the air filter so i took the top off. on the side closest to the windshield there is a hose of some sort going from the side of the air filter (or the metal pan thing...

can someone with an 88 4.2 please look at their starter relay next to the battery. I have a connecter missing a wire. Its at the 11 oclock position and points outwards a little bit. It is on the post part of the relay and is on the top of the rest of the circle connecters that are on the post. ...
