    Kobalt air tools?

    I heard the Raptor kit is great, but I was leaning towards using Monstaliner. I guess if I do that I'll just roll it in. It's just for the interior so it doesn't have to be perfect. If I decide to do the exterior, that's when I need to be able to spray and I don't want to drop a ton of coin for...

    Kobalt air tools?

    Thinking about getting this set for wrenching on my Jeep. I'm also interested in their spray gun kit as well if it's decent quality and if it will also shoot bedliner (might be bedlining my interior). Anyone used the Kobalt air tools? I'm not going to use these to make a living, but I do...

    US Navy paint on XJ?

    So the US Navy uses this company to supply them with the paint they use on their warships. It obviously resists corrosion well, as these ships sit in salt water 24/7/265. Anyone ever used it on their auto? I'm looking for maximum corrosion resistance and was wondering if that might work...

    4lo won't engage, stays in 4hi

    Well, I don't know what happened. I had to drive a short way on a gravel road and threw it into 4lo to see what happened. Worked just fine. Good thing too because I don't have the cash to rebuild it. lol Hopefully that wasn't the beginning of the end for it.

    4lo won't engage, stays in 4hi

    Nope. In fact, it shifts into the 4lo position easier now than it did before. When put into 4lo it drives and runs just fine, except instead of being 4lo it's in 4hi. Very frustrated!

    4lo won't engage, stays in 4hi

    I cannot shift it into 4lo at the TC. The shifter will move into position to be 4lo, but it stays in 4hi. This is what happens when I shift. from 2wd it shifts into 4hi on the fly just fine. Stop, put vehicle into neutral, shift TC into neutral (that works), pull lever back for 4lo, instead of...

    4lo won't engage, stays in 4hi

    92 Jeep NP231 4hi and 4lo have always worked just fine. Went to use 4lo the other day and the TC stayed in 4hi. When shifted into 4lo it stays in 4hi. I shift into 4lo by stopping, putting transmission into neutral, shift TC down to 4lo. I readjusted the shift linkage, and the TC...

    2" spring/shock suggestions anyone?

    Planning my expo XJ and don't want to go above a 2" or 2.5" lift with 31s and lightly trimmed fenders. I checked with dpg about getting the 2.5" OME hybrid kit they sell but was told the rear leafs would not support a rear tire carrier, new 3/16" bumpers front and back, armor and chassis...

    Hard start, runs great

    Problem solved. It was a bad temperature sensor. Jeep is running better than it has since I got it. Thanks to everyone, especially Rob707 for all the help!

    Hard start, runs great

    Rob707 put Ford 19lbs. injectors into my Jeep. It's running a lot better now, but it's still having a hard start. We checked the TPS, the IAC and a couple of other things with no benefit. At this point Rob has discovered that flooring the Jeep when starting it puts it into clear flood mode...

    Hard start, runs great

    Already replaced the cap and rotor and plugs. That was the first thing I did, especially since it's been raining around here and I had just recently had to spray out the engine bay a bit. New o-rings, got it. I'll pick up a set before I try out the other injectors. I take it when...

    Hard start, runs great

    Hmm I hadn't thought of the injectors flying off from the pressure. My idea was to just turn the key to on and let the pump prime and see if any fuel drips out. Now I see why you gave that testing regime for them - sounds a lot safer. I think I may pass on my "worst case" idea unless it...

    Hard start, runs great

    I got a PM from a guy in my area who has a set of injectors I can try, so that'll either completely eliminate or verify a leaking injector in one fell swoop. lol I'll definitely post back the results as soon as I have a chance to try them out. Worst case I bet I could pull all the...

    Hard start, runs great

    hahahaha well it didn't seem quite like the hesitations I've felt before, it's a little different, but I can't really describe it. I think I may have actually used the word hesitation at some point. :D Either way, yeah, it hesitates one time when giving gas until the engine has been running...
