    Looking for some helpful hints on best methods for swapping a trans. I have a 3 ton jack, and a trans jack. Please advise on best way to accomplish the process to prevent injury to the parts, and me of course. This is my first attempt at swapping a trans. I do have a perfect record on a solo...

    Engine block ground '04

    I'm buttoning up an engine swap, installing an '04 motor into an '01 Hundy. This ground wire is listed on the 02.2003-05.2005 production dates. ( It is not present on my 99 so can't cross reference). Checking all details on the replacement engine, I saw the pigtail of this ground remaining on...

    Engine swap-Engine absolutely stuck to trans. Guidance needed before removing entire drivetrain at once.

    I've reached an impasse in attempting to separate the engine from the transmission. You name it, we've tried it. Mechanic friend with over a dozen engine pulls and I have been patient, but patience running thin. Jacks, blow torch, raising engine, shock drop with a 2x4 support under trans, pb...

    fan mount bolts

    Wrapping up a timing belt job. Is there any special trick to tightening these four 12mm nuts that mount to the fan bracket studs- can't get any torque with a box wrench, and of course there's no clearance for a ratchet. Fan unit wants to spin free, and nuts are easily stripped. Cussing hasn't...

    RT Help Busted Ignition, final steps

    Ok, so I removed the broken rod, and screwed the back "white plastic housing" on the back of assembly. Now I'm inserting new rod into assembly. It appears my steering is locked and the 'lock flange' at the 3 o'clock position needs to spring back so I can slide rod in to seat in the back of the...

    If anyone needs transport from Sunset lake rd at Holly Springs Rd area to Sunset Ridge (Devils Ridge neighborhood) I can most likely assist. Golf course paths have no traffic. Holly Springs Rd is gridlock on all hills as expected. Cars in ditches as expected. Only concern was if bridge...

    indicator light trivia-what are these?

    Was sitting in the truck, parked, sun shining on the dash and noticed a few indicator lights I wasn't familiar with(that's a good thing). Curious as to what these lights mean- check out the red vehicle outline, with a puddle behind it? Next up is the yellowish arrow passing through a box. I...

    Front Anti Sway Bar and 1.5" lift, any aftermarket solutions?

    I've read all the ASB posts, several on rear ASB issues- easy enough to solve that with extended links it seems. Will these same extended links (ie Man A Fre) work for the front as well? I see 2000UZJ goes commando with no ASB up front, (assuming several of you mudders are doing this) and...

    Timing belt inspection via dust cover

    The wife's 03 with 136k on the clock is finally getting some attention for a change as I favor my 99. We've had the 03 for almost 3 years, and when purchased dealer stated he believed timing belt was changed, but there was no sticker. I got a good deal, so purchased with this knowledge...
