Anyone know if its normal for two of the 4 relays (in a row on the passenger side fender wall) to activate when the key is turned on, then several seconds later click twice again like two of them are turning off? I ask because today after I started this engine and let it run for about 5 minutes...

My old Jeep AC was working fine then just stopped blowing cold air. I figured it probably needed a shot of freon like in years past, so I bought some then noticed the AC's electric clutch does not engage so the compressor does not turn. I have a GM truck with a 'low pressure' cut out switch but...

A friend in Wisconsin wants to buy my old 1989 Jeep wagoner 4wd and drive it up north if he can put a snow plow on it. Being a guy living in Florida, who do I ask if this is possible?

My 4.0 6cyl Jeep needed a new idler pulley so I bought it and put it on. Adjusting the power steering pump IN or OUT in its slot is how the slack is taken up, but for some reason the adjusting bolt turns fine but the pump will not move in either direction even after using penetrating oil and...

Those who know this vehicle (like 'RudeDude') know it can be very difficult to get a serpentine (fan belt) on and off unless you have done it before. I replaced the basic idler pulley and now find the same old belt is about 1/2 inch short of going over the power steering pulley. Before I...

I just replaced a bad idler pulley with a new one from the auto parts store and still have the old belt, which IS routed correctly, but still the belt will not go on-- because it is just a tadt too short. This idler pulley is NOT like the newer models that takes up the slack and has a nut to...

My fan belt idler pulley insides went bad after 200K miles so I bought a new one exactly the same size and put on. Now getting the old fan belt to fit back on is the problem. Any suggestions how?

Compressor works, but clutch bearing squeels real loud even when AC is turned off. Any idea of cost to repair? Is it possible to just swap out serpentine belt with shorter one and totally bypass compressor? About what should that cost?
