Does the a/c run when the air settings are between hot and cold? Or is it just air sucking in from the blower motor? I guess I could go run it and check myself but I'm away from the jeep.

 

On 97+ at least (possibly more years), the A/C is on for all modes except floor and dash. All the A/C modes and the two defog settings engage the compressor. Temperature setting has no impact.

This annoyed me on my 1999 (cold face, wasted gas, and no heater recirculate for winter) so I wired in a disable switch. On a 97+ all the switch needs to do is open the small light green wire coming in on the 7 pin connector by the fan speed ****.

 

Probably, but i would pay premo prices for it. I try not to buy things from the stealership.

 

I dont blame you and I only go there when its the last resort. I couldnt imagine them charging more than a dollar or two but then again it is the dealer, who knows. They quoted me $180 for motor mounts.

 

Lol the fools! I would deffinantly get some brown dogs!

 

Have you checked the NSS or tried bypassing it?

 

A friend pressed on my brake pedal when I had a caliper off of a rotor (brake line still attached) and now the caliper is closed shut and I can't install it back on the rotor. Does this means I will have to disconnect the brake line, vent pressure, and then purge the line of air?

 

Is there any room to squeeze a brake caliper tool or a c-clamp in there?

 

You try loosening the bleeder and using a c clamp to compress it?

 

+1 pop the bleeder and force the piston back. You could use the outer edges of the caliper plates (that ride on the mounting bracket) to pry on without damaging the pads, not sure if the piston would be happy about that uneven force though.

I also recommend getting a new friend. Messing with stuff you're working on is 7-year-old stuff, but jumping into the vehicle while it's on jackstands and you're beside/underneath is very dangerous.

 

Are you still looking for specs on the shift linkage bolt?

 

Shouldn't the the rear pinion be angled down to match the output shaft on the tranny?

 

x2.
I love my brown dog motor mounts.

 

Ah, one day...
Speaking of which, anyone know a place to get a good price on those?

 

IIRC you can only get them direct from Brown Dog Offroad, and there's no reason to buy anywhere else - they're a small company and need the support.
