SOLD

Gads. My bicycle mechanic pay won't support that kind of load. But then, my cheapest bike is worth about 4 grand. My priorities are a bit skewed from normal.

You can never have too many. I can though. Only room for one in front of my house. Plus paying for insurance on one I don't drive much anymore kinda sucks.

*snort* Now that's funny.

You know you need a spare.

It is with heavy heart that I let my Jeep go. There is only room for one vehicle so my extra has to leave. email: ntmare AT sbcglobal DOT net phone: 214.868.1399 and leave a msg. 1990 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 Larado 4.0 245,000 miles AW4 trans / NP242 xfer case 16/20 MPG Features -functioning alarm...

No matter how smart I may think I am, my jeep always finds a way to bring me down to earth. My trans dipstick is difficult to read in the best circumstances so the level is always kind of a guess. I drained the fluid measured to about 2 quarts less than what it took to fill it (at least...

A fluid change and some conditioner for this weekend then. I hope it's not a solenoid, I just had all of those bench and drive tested by a jeep dealer up in Denver... or so they say.

thanks Lawson. I try to check the cable every time I open the hood. I took a sharpie and made alignment marks the last time I adjusted it just to see if it ever moves. I haven't looked at it in quite a while. I guess a fluid change can't hurt either. I just wish I would think to do it before it...

Thanks for the response. I've checked the TPS several times in the past hunting down other gremlins and it seemed to be fine but maybe it's quirky that way. I seem to get a very random hard start/high idle thing as well but if I wiggle the wiring harness for the ECU, it goes away. It's the...

I might add that a few days ago I noticed that if I start the jeep and run it long enough to get it to stick in 1st, then stop somewhere for 10 minutes or so, it will work normally once I get back in so apparently it doesn't have to be running, just warm.

I'm hoping that the answer to this not "new/rebuilt trans". Anyway, I've owned this '90 for 10k miles. Paperwork shows that the trans was rebuilt 15k ago. A problem showed up late last winter that perplexes me. Above 60 degrees, the trans works the way it should... more or less. It seems to...

Incidentally, I think Sears refusing or limiting replacement of broken tools because they are afraid of the people who buy them from pawn shops is asinine and only gives me reason not to buy from there. Honestly, the tool is not going to fail a greater number of times or faster once it has been...

I used to work for Snap-On fixing air tools at a service center. I love the fit and finish of the Snap-On hand tools and Craftsman professional series hand tools. Air tools are a different game altogether. Some may already know but the Japanese company NSK makes ALL the popular and not so...

I was going to suggest a bone yard. I just replaced my drivers seat for 25 bucks and found an exact replacement in pattern and color at a pick-n-pull. They gave me the sun visor clips, shifter trim plate, and extra fasteners for free. Took me about 5 minutes and a 6 inch adjustable wrench.
