I'm 99.9% sure the nut isn't broken, I can still thread it in if I tap the bolt in and turn it. It turns with some effort but not much, and only comes out so far. I'll remove the shackle then give it a go like you said. Thanks

I need some ideas on removing the front spring-to-frame rail bolt. Its sticking out about 1/4" and it won't come out any further. I think its stick in the bushing. Any ideas? 1999 Cherokee, stock springs

BUMP

On my jeep they are 13/16. I'm also replacing my rear leaf springs and have a problem: The front bolt that goes through the bushing is stuck in the rubber bushing. How would one get it out? Is there a hole on the other side of the frame rail I that can knock the bolt out, that I'm missing...

Most 4.0's have a lifter noise after so many miles. I would replace the lifters and if the cam is badly worn, change that at the same time (Only if the lifters and/or cam show galling). Never re-use lifters. Proper valve adjustment is key getting it right and its not all that difficult. Piston...

I know a inline ford 300 can really scream with a port and polished head. Any engine will benifit with better cylinder filling.

Gas and a match! It always works out! I have nothing to contribute so I'll just say so.

A full roller valvetrain would be so great! Free up some torque at the wheels!

That could be a problem :gee:. I would think the distributor gear is broken, or the timing chain is broke. The cam turns the distributor, the cam turns from the timing chain.

I would repalce or just inspect the ground, then the battery-to-starter cable and then the solenoid.

Its not the relay, the issue is the incoming power to the starter relay. It can be jumped at the PDC with a small wire. (Keep in mind I have no FSM) What should I do next?

I'll be sure to check that out as well. Thanks!

Yeah I checked the NSS already. I got my DMM today and I'm going to fix it tomorrow. I hope its just the lead wire or the positive from the battery.

Thanks 5-90, you always give the details! The smell was really strange, it was similar to burning wire/electronics but kinda sweet smelling. I exchanged the old starter last night for a new one and it didn't help anything. I didn't check the leads at the solenoid yet becuase when I went to grab...

Ok, it still won't crank at all. What sensors/wires should I check?
