Im curious to hear what you guys think the best sounding engine swaps are.

Hi yall! I have a 1998 4.0 TJ with 183k miles, sadly the engine overheated while I was driving one day, took it to a shop, they quoted me 1k to fix the head gasket and resurface the head, I’m debating if it’s worth just investing into a crate motor, I don’t want to replace the head gasket and...

I’ve been reading a lot about swapping an engine and I’ve asked a lot of people about swapping an engine. Some people tell me to go all out and swap a 5.7 Hemi into my wrangler and others tell me to put a 4bt in my wrangler, even going as far as to say a kubota and I’m just wondering what you...

I just ran a cold compression jeep on my jeep, found compression of 155,150,60,60,120,120 at each cylinder. What does that mean and what is the repair? Background: Bought a 4.0 straight 6, 97' TJ Sport 3 years ago. So far I've replaced the floorplans, replaced 3" lift with 1.5" lift, replaced...

Hi Guys! I'm new to the forum, but I have been utilizing the awesome info on this site for a while now since purchasing my 2006 SE in March. Prior to purchasing, I had researched the options for when the engine goes out and is not repairable because it had just over 170,000 miles on it. I...

Hey all, so I’ve got an issue I’m trying to diagnose and so far all I’ve got is that it’s got to be a clutch issue and it could also be steering column related. Not really an issue when I first start rolling but after I get where I’m going and I turn into a parking spot in 1st or 2nd and...

Long detailed post ahead. Thanks for reading! 2001 TJ automatic, 4.88 gears (relevant for the speed figures below) BACKGROUND: I spent a ton of time late 2021 and half 2022 trying to troubleshoot a misfire issue. Replaced just about every sensor; Mopar replacements where possible, forum...

Recently i found out my engines in need of a rebuild however I can seem to find anyone with crate engines that make the 4.0 I would just swap out a junkers engine but my parents are helping me pay for it and they will only do it if I get a brand new engine any help would be appreciated.

Hey everyone, I have an interesting issue that I'd love some feedback on. I have a 2005 LJ, non-rubicon, 195,000 miles, with the 42RLE automatic transmission. I'm running into an interesting issue where the engine will have a very small moment of almost stalling when hitting the throttle at...

Does anyone else have a really loose steering column, like to the point that its difficult to drive on the highway because the wheels go all over the road and you cant feel it in the steering wheel. Like its so bad that i cant shake the steering wheel pretty violently and the car wont turn at...

Hi from Rome, Italy where I converted my 1999 Jeep Wrangler 4.0L in a LPG powered to pass emission restrictions here and run everyday as a daily driver in city centre. I decided to make this post cause I can't really figured out the problem after many attemps. Symptoms are some little random...

Having trouble with my TJ not been able to get it to turn over. The battery is good so it’s not that but wondering if there is a place I can wrench onto to manually turn the motor over and ensure it’s free. Thanks for any help!

I have a 4 cylinder TJ on a 4" lift & 33" tires. I've been thinking about a V6 with a super charger because I don't want the weight of a V8. I also have plans to upgrade the axles so I can run larger tires so the new engine would have to work well with future upgrades. I'd like this Jeep to...

‘97 4.0 Manual 136k miles. Have this ticking noise when accelerating, gets louder with more throttle. Mechanic said the noise checked out and was normal but I can’t seem to agree. Can I get some thoughts on what it could be? The video I have was from today, in 3rd-5th gear, accelerating...

Hey, So I’ve got something that has progressively gotten worse over the course of the past few weeks and it’s the rattle grinding noise coming from the engine/trans area. The noise is never present at idle but only when in any of the five gears and I’m cruising but on the gas still. Transfer...

I bought a 2001 TJ Sport 4.0 about a year about with a replaced WJ inside. It drove perfectly fine up until about a month ago. Started getting a small 'lifter noise' that would come and go, nothing too bad to the point it was annoying. However, I tried to start the TJ after leaving work and...
