    4L80E No shift from 2nd---SOLVED!

    If you recently installed the motor did you backspace the converter properly? Can eat up a pump in a few miles if it’s too tight. Once the pump goes then pressures fall and clutches,etc fail short after. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    M38 A 1

    The bearings in the steering knuckles are likely worn. Common problem with a Jeep that has a few miles on it.

    Oversized pistons and ring end gap

    I’m still struggling with your bore measurements. If pistons are 20 thou over your measurements must be off. I’d start there before moving on.

    Oversized pistons and ring end gap

    How did you measure the bore? A dedicated bore gauge or snap gauges you transfer to micrometers? The second method takes patience to get right and you need to measure side to side and not front to back. The piston will rock in the bore and will wear slightly oblong as a result. Are you sure...

    M38a1 loss of power backfiring

    Any resolution on this? If you let ethanol fuel sit in the Jeep it’s hydroscopic (absorbs water) so it can ruin a fuel system in short time. Sounds like you could have a fuel issue or ignition.

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Using a Jerry can mount for the plate as well. Used a light mounted to the side for illumination.

    Saving deeply discharged Optima 51R's

    Good luck but I’ve had very little success bringing a battery that deeply discharged back to life. Search online as Optima has a section specifically on deeply discharged AGM batteries. Has 3 options on how to recover the batt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
