4.0 Engine replacement
well just a little tid bit for yall here, if you are removing and installing your 4.0 I highly recommend removing your crank position sensor before engine is removed and put it back in AFTER the motor is back in and torqued down. Or even better just take out the motor, take off the sensor off the bell housing, throw it away get a new MOPAR sensor and install it after the motor is in. I didn't do any of these things the first time around and when I torqued the motor to the bell housing I pinched and severed one of the wires and I think we bumped the sensor pretty good with the flywheel which can damage the magnet. So when I was all excited and ready to fire up the new one I had no fuel pump! I was so mad I had to call it a night after me and my dad searched the whole motor for a loose ground or plug, thankfully searching the forums older threads lead me straight to the crank sensor as the culprit.

no problem, it was more of a joke, you rarely see one that isnt leaking, and i know even when they are fairly new they still leak
