Anyone rocking a 5.5” or 6.5” long arm kit from IRO? How do you like it, what tire size are you running

Ect rise at idle

My 99 4.7 has been slowly getting hotter and hotter during periods of long idle, while warm, and running AC. The ECT will stay in good range during driving but once i hit traffic or a long stop my ect will climb and then drop to normal once i contribute driving. My temp stays between 201-206 during normal driving. Thinking maybe fan clutch? Or is there something else i should be looking for, i have a new radiator and thermostat/housing already in since those had previously failed. Any help is appreciated! Thank you

Random hose on 2002 4.7?

I know this can't really be a random hose, but I found this today when looking around inside the bay. It was uncapped, but I found this random cap as well so I put the two together and drove 2 miles before parking it. I'm concerned. What is this hose and where should it go?

Its that time again, and has been for some time, to change the differential fluid, and id like to hear some thoughts on the matter.

What fluid do you prefer to use?

Is it better to buy fluid that already contains friction modifier, and add a little bit on top? Or to buy fluid that does not contain modifier, such as redline, and add the prescribed amount of modifier?

Ive always bought it already with modifier and added what I assumed to be an appropriate amount on top, but im curious what yall have to say about this, as i think id like to give redline a try.

Cheers

Did an oil change (2.5k miles, 6 month interval) on my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.0 I6. Noticed that after a while of sitting in the garage, the spent oil separated and what appears to be water is sitting in the bottom of one of the jugs of oil.

Engine has had its head replaced to a TUPY head (common problem with the 2000s Jeep 4.0s was a cracked head causing coolant leaks into oil). I don't have any noticeable loss of coolant. Coolant and oil never show any signs of interacting with each other (no milkshake on oil cap). Mostly short drives in the city. I did replace CCV valves recently.

Could short city driving cause a buildup of moisture in the oil or am I looking at a possible coolant leak into the crankcase?

To be clear, I am in an extremely foul mood at this point, and doubt I will use an actual torque wrench. I just want to be sure that I’m correct in thinking that I should have been able to remove my lower shock bolt without a breaker bar and cheater pipe, and possibly a torch. There is extremely minimal rust on the threads.

My 2002 4.7 springs were pretty tired so I tried out Lesjofors stock replacement springs.

I think it had lost about 2" over the 20+ years.

Hey all, my ‘04 4.0 with 307000KM on the odo began making this noise. I’m hoping it’s just a bad pulley on one of the accessories but it sort of sounds as if it’s an internal issue. Any thoughts?

Snagged this bare JK 44 rear for $50 last week. This will eventually get swapped into the WJ once I get finished with my other Jeep project. For the front, I think I may go with crate 44 and skip the wimpy JK rubicon 44 front.
