So I finally got around to fixing my no-start issues, and reverse lights. I still can't get the NSS switch off, and have already broken the lock nut threads. Looks like I might have to buy a replacement. I've always heard of NSS switches being really expensive, have they come down in price...

I bled my brakes for the second time this past weekend and every time I do it I get an uneasy feeling with the wrenches I'm using. They never feel like they bite that well. I tried to bend a wrench over so it would fit better, but ended up breaking it. Does anyone have any recommendations on box...

Hi, I had a brake cylinder rust out and brake fluid was everywhere, so I ended up getting a tow. I have the 242 transfer case, and like a dummy left my owner's manual at home. I put the transfer case in neutral, the transmission in park, and towed it by the back wheels approximately 15 miles. Do...

We had a bunch of snow last week, and I went through the car wash last night. Well this morning, I had a check engine light on, and it won't shift into overdrive. The codes are: -Transmission control system malfunction -Transmission range sensor circuit malfuntion (PRNDL Input) I know my NSS...

Anyone have a part number for the shift gate on a NP242. I was at the junkyard today but didn't have time to pull it off.

I've searched, and searched, and searched. Now I'm asking. I know the input spline count changed around '91, and the tail cone switched to a sealed unit around '96. I've got a 1998 and trying to find out what works. Will the 242 from a Liberty work, are the output shafts compatible? Does the...

I had my check engine light come on previously and when that happened I checked all the fluids. When it came to the power steering resovoir there was a *whoosh* noise when I took the cap off, like there was pressure in there. When I did that the last time the Check Engine Light went away, so I...

I swapped in a new head unit today and everything wired up fine, but there was an extra connector back there. It had 3 wires Red/White, Blue/White, and Black. It had a couple more pins but they were empty. Anyone know what this extra connector might be for? I couldn't find it in my FSM.

I was fixing my parking brakes this past weekend and my backing plate has quite a bit of surface rust on it. I need to replace the brake cylinders some time in the future and since I'll have it all apart I want to take a wire wheel to the backing plate and then paint over the rust. What should I...

My parking brake wasn't working and one of the cables looked like a rat chewed through so I replaced them today (the cable was actually working, but it still looked bad) Anyways I replaced these brakes about 1.5 years and they are still in good shape, but I don't think I ever adjusted the...

I need new tires here soon, and I want something that's good for all seasons. I see a fair amount of cold weather with snow mixed in every now and again. I've always bought whatever cheap tires were on hand, but now that I do all my own work I feel like I can afford nice tires. From what I've...

I feel dumb, but I can't get the numbers to come out right. I know I can just plug it into one of the online calcualtors but I'm trying to understand it as opposed to just punching in the numbers. For example, how would I calculate the MPH if the engine was running 2000 RPM with an AW4 in...

Anyone have any advice on removing the steering wheel. My steering wheel is very worn out from where I used to "palm" it at the top. I found an OEM replacement from Jeeps Are Us, but my FSM doesn't go into detail on how to remove it. I have an air bag as well. From the looks of it, it sounds...

I'm having one hell of a time finding somewhere to recycle my transmission fluid and used coolant. Anyone point me in the right direction? I'm in NC and I've called my local land fill and they pointed me to the county land fill. Both looked at me funny when I asked them about recycling trans...

I replaced my A/C condenser and accumulator two weekends ago and am ready to have a guy charge the A/C system. I told him I was going to take my own refrigerant oil and r134a. I went by the parts store and found the r134a and the oil. My question is how much r134a will I need. It came in 12oz...

I replaced my radiator this past weekend, and just want to clarify some things. The quick disconnects that have the nylon ears and o-rings connect the two hard lines closest to the transmission correct? But the disconnect that is connected at the bottom of the radiator is not like this? It's...

When doing the poor man's flush, instead of pouring new fluid in through the dipstick tube, what about connecting a new host/fitting into the return line opening and putting that hose into a bucket with new fluid. Let the old fluid come out disconnected return line into a different bucket. That...

I'm replacing the heater hoses and one is labeled 11/16" but no one carries that, will 3/4" work, it's only a 1/16" bigger?

I've bought my new Hella Vision Plus with included bulbs, I've bought the H4 plug, and I'm going to buy new battery cables from 5-90 once he's moved. I'm going to make my own wiring harness using this website as a guide: http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoHeadlightLoom.htm My question is that...

I'm going to bleed my brakes soon because I don't think it's ever been done and my Jeep has 102,000 miles on it. What type of wrench do I need. I keep hearing about line wrenches for a flare nut, and that I should only use that to prevent rounding the nut off. I'm going to buy some wrenches...
