Does this include the hoses running along the passenger side of the engine too? They'll cone off the thermostat housing and run right over thr spark plugs into the firewall.

Main suspect is a vacuum leak causing the blend doot to not operate. Does any air come out at all? Only on the wind shield? If so then there's a black ball with a bunch of tiny hoses that lives in the passenger side of the bumper that works as a vacuum reservoir/manifold. A fitting somewhere has probably popped off or cracked.

Honest opinions about Spartans. I can get a D30 and D44 for 400 bucks right now in the box still. Should I go for them or get two Posi tracs instead?

Hey guys,
98 XJ limited 4.0 automatic.
My oil pressure gauge on my dash usually sits around 10-15 after start up but whenever I start driving and have my foot on the peddle it will go up to 40-45 and drops back down to 10-20 at braking or stop light. Is this normal or is this a bad oil pressure sending unit? Checked the oil and its right where it should be and no real leaks under her. Just wanna check as I'm going to be flushing my radiator and replacing the thermostat so figured fix it while I'm there. Thanks in advance

Well it going up when you accelerate is normal and going down when you brake or park is normal. Sept mines at 40 when stopped or braking and at 75-80 when I go. But I think that's abnormally high

If it's like my '01, you're stuck paying a stealership.

You can't go wrong putting silver or red under a jeep.

Is the point of painting them not to make them stand out?
