Does anyone know of a walk through or like a how to on doing crank shaft bearings on a 4.0 motor i just need to know like the the torque specs and what i can expect when i drop the pan..

also would a slightly crushed exhaust pipe cause the check engine light to come on? or i guess that's just a result of the bad bearings

lastly i read a post that said knocking from the bottom side of the motor could be a slightly loose torque convertor ... how likely is that the knocking is super loud and i just don't wanna waste my time doing one thing if its something else the truck idles great no noise or just a slight one then as soon as u hit the throttle it knocks rly loud then higher rpms its gone

any ideas welcome thanx guys

 

I have never done the bearings myself but try this link;

I couldn't find much in a "How too" but that should give you a good start. I don't believe a exhaust would give you an engine light unless it was really damaged and where it was damaged. The exhaust pipes do have oxygen sensors in it so maybe one of those were damaged. Have you ran a scan for codes? For the low end knocking, have you opened up the inspection plate and checked the flex plate bolts? Those can loosen over time and cause a knocking sound.

 

My question is why close such a fun thread?

 

Just a question about exhaust. From what I have gathered ideally we want 2.25-2.5 diameter on our exhaust pipes correct? I plan on taking care of my exhaust by replacing the CAT and everything back. But my real question is, to achieve the 2.25 diameter am I going to have to replace anything upstream from the CAT? What size are those stock pipes?

 

Mine is 2.5 all the way with a flowmaster 40, it breathes well

 

IT WAS the flex plate i rly couldnt believe it ... sounded just bearings thanx for your help i love these jeeps soo easy to fix!!!

 

..what happens if i replace my original rear spring(which may not be heavy duty), with the original "heavy duty" I realize that the arch sizes are different, and probably a stiffer ride. But, will they bolt right on?

 

Stock piping is 2.25"

 

i posted in the wanted section but also figured id ask you guys too. If anyone has a part our rig that they can see if they have the wirimg with connector for the cargo bay light. I have an 01. I appreciate it. And i know this is off topic, srry but im usually on this thread reading more than others

 

Don't have a diagram, but the are pink, purple and yellow

 

Yea. The switch leg wire burned up the connector so when I open the hatch the lights won't stay on cause of it. I need that connector and like 4 inches of wire to connect to my wires so I can have light again when hatch is open

 

What is going on??!!! My power steering goes out on long trip and if I let it rest a dayit will work agin what is up is it going out or is it something else? Helo

 

I just read what I originally posted and I botched it up. I meant to ask if anyone has a "part out" rig if they can send me the connector for the cargo bay light. I don't know how I wrote that so horribly wrong before.

 

Won't turn over! Lights dim here a click and fuel pump engage but nothing else! Please help!

 

That sucks. Literally just threw one away Wednesday night. Sorry man
