Ok found a nice one 2020 Overland, the Hemi sounds real quiet no tics but it has air suspension which I hear can be troublesome….but the Hemi in the last few years of WK2 only usually came in the top trim models like Overland & Summit, too bad. I have heard you can switch to springs but it’s a...

Personally I HATE these things, most especially the plastic oil filter housing on the Mopar Pentastar 3.6, when they leak, it is a lot of labor to replace. And I don't see any advantage, not one, to the consumer/DIY mechanic. The old way was far better. With the one on the Pentastar, the o ring...

I would not use a multi-vehicle fluid, just use what they spec, I use either Mopar ATF+4 or Valvoline ATF+4 in my Jeeps. I would use OEM filters I would change every 60K miles, I don't see a need to do it more often unless you are towing or snow plowing If your vehicle doesn't have a drain plug...

Mine's got an ancient Prestolite points distributor and a Quadrajet, old school just the way I like it. No electronic mystery boxes that become NLA when the engine gets to be more than 15 years old. All parts are in the aftermarket.

Yep, I REALLY want another one, but the prospect of doing a cam and lifters is intimidating! The most frustrating thing even with the endless internet posts, youtube videos, etc, is the only thing we know is that there are quality problems with SOME of the roller lifters. Which ones, made by...

I have a pre-Vortec in my boat, it runs at approx 20-25 psi at hot idle (after running up on plane, 3500-4000 rpm), cool idle is about 40, max at speed is 55-60 psi. But that is running Mercruiser marine 25/40 oil so if you're running normal 5/30 motor oil it may idle at little less psi. When...

That's the MB NAG1 trans, no way it is overweight. The V6 Grands then used the NAG1, the V8s used the Chryco 545RFE

2007 Grand Cherokee 5.7 with 120,000 miles, bought it used at 25,000, I have used M-1 5w/20 since then, change it every 3500-4000 miles, no mechanical problems so far. I do want another one but hearing about the lifter/cam problems does give me pause. I think that the lifter/cam problems were...

This is something that didn't make sense to me either as I have owned: 1998 ZJ Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.0 liter straight six, rated at 5,000 lbs with tow package 2007 WK-1 Grand Cherokee Limited, 5.7 liter Hemi V8, rated at 7,200 lbs with tow package the later model WK-I platform has much...

a couple of trailer companies recommend either Lucas R&T or the Marine. I used the marine on my trailer wheel bearings, & the gimble bearing and u joints on the boat (I/O power train) it seems to work fine for all 3 applications. The R&T is lithium complex based whereas the Marine (blue) is...

I heard it was a bunch of fake Louis Vuitton handbags…

Because Toyota is right. Time will prove it.

back in the '70s and '80s when we drove these: we had to do the same thing, didn't have Blizzaks back then but Firestone Town & Country studded snow tires!

Saw a vid by a Ford tech who explained this whole problem; question is why did they design it wrong in the first place?

fast forward to 1:05 and turn up the volume one day years ago (1977) I was at SUNY Stony Brook picking up my brother from college and saw basically the same thing in the sky far above us. It was there and.....it was .......GONE........

fake engine noise = boring. when car racing goes all electric is when I'll quit paying to go to races. I can race electric cars in my basement, they call them slot cars. Like the ones I had in 1969.

While the performance of the ecoboost is excellent, for my use a simple old school 5.7 Hemi fits the bill for low maintenance and repair cost. 120,000 miles and no engine repairs, just replaced an alternator at 100K miles.

Glad the cause was found and the solution is a well known one. My 07 Jeep 5.7 doesn’t have a gauge so I hooked up my fancy new Autel scanner to it to measure pressures. Cold start approx 45-55 psi dep on RPM Hot idle 20-25 psi Checking on various Mopar boards these are typical. This is running...

Maybe GM realized unlike some others that EV pick ups will be a dud.

Yep 1998 ZJ with Selectrac
