ahhh that makes sense now. Most of the time I have left mine in Full time while driving around on the beach... but on a few occasions that didnt cut it and I went to 4low.

is there any reason why they called Full time when tcase isn't locked and part time when it is locked? kinda opposite for people w/out full understanding?

ya, lifters are still alittle noisy... that airy thft thft thft sound. Currently: Cold - 50psi while driving and getting up to speed. Idle - 40psi Warm - 40psi ish and 30 psi idle Hot (about 30min of driving) - 28-30psi driving and 10-12 psi idle (after i sit and let it idle for a few...

Now its running 20w50 and some Lucas... drove it around for a bit... at FULL hot temp it did eventually get as low as 5psi on the mechanical gauge before switching to a thicker oil. Now at hot it doesnt go below 14psi... so i'm gonna toss a mechanical gauge in just to keep an eye on it while i'm...

Hooked up a mechanical gauge today. When my stock gauge would "plumit" to 0psi on the cluster the pressure was actually hovering right around 8-9psi. So for the time being i'm just gonna run 20w50 and see what that does.. my mechanic says he's leaning towards cam bearing maybe.

Did you pull your motor by chance er0080?

well. i got a guy who will sell me a 2001 4.0 for 400 bucks (the motor). I'm gonna check my motor out tuesday and see if me and my mechanic can't put our heads together and find a solution.. i got a sneakin huntch its gonna be the cam seals or something in that area... but who the hell knows. I...

ya, i looked around inside there when i had it off at the time (the dealership i bought it from had basically no RTV on and it was leaking.) and i didnt notice any coolant lines or drips or cracks.. but i coulda missed something, who knows.

ALSO! Another bit of trivia to my similar symptoms was I bought the vehicle and it ran fine for 3k miles w/ no problems. I changed the oil over to synthetic (93k Miles) and thats when I started having all the oil pressure problems...

also a tid bit.. if it were mains and such wouldn't the motor idle extremely rough and make some good amount of racket? I just did a quick test.. let it run at 0psi for about 5 minutes just to see how the motor reacted and all it did was go up in temp from 215 to maybe 218 or 19 or so. Ran just...

Hmmm. I'll mention that to my mechanic for sure, thanks for the input. Whatever it is, I can notice it getting worse and worse as the days go by. It used to take a few seconds for the pressure to fall off now its just dumping to 0 psi almost instantly. AND when I am driving under normal...

Do you mean the bypass valve?

er0080: I took the valve cover off and looked in and I did not notice any cracks anywhere? Is the crack to the left or right ony our head? I'm so confused and iritated at this point I don't know what to try other than paying someone to completely rebuild the motor... but at that cost I don't...

Just drove the jeep around w/ the new oil pump and its still doing the same thing. I'll be replacing the sender unit tonight as well just for shits and giggles even though I'm sure it won't be fixing the problem. Just want to eliminate one more variable. I always have the worst luck with...

You have basically wrote every issue i've had since I bought my 2000 XJ. I bought it and w/in a week of purchase (bone stock) I noticed the lifters making a lot more noise than I was used to. (I've been a import guy my whole life) and I took it to the dealership and they said "Its a straight 6...

thx, ill have them check the u-joints and such while its getting serviced.

Did a quick search with no results (mainly because I don't know all the acronyms and 4wd terminology probably). Got a 3.5" RE ride lift and 31x10.50s. Been feeling slight vibrations from the tcase whenever i let off the gas. I did notice that the handle for 4wd sometimes vibrated and made...

Ya, its on life support. =]

welp, I dunno how the hell yall did it. But ive soaked it in BP blaster for 4 or 5 days (soaking it every day w/ the tcase mount off so it can get up in there good) and ive tried the double nut technique and the vise grip job. That f%$king stud is not moving. I'm just gonna pay a shop that...

My point made. You are a frat guy, so its not a far jump to another. =] So don't leave her hanging long, tell her you are sorry and have previous arrangements with a friend to work on your jeep. She'll huff and puff but then promptly (2 or 3 weekends) go visit her for that time and show her...
