When I pull my turn signal/windshield wiper switch forward, it usually turns on the ... Read More

I don't usually have any problems getting it to start up. But this morning it ... Read More

  I am not sure with the 94 jimmy but with my 2001 you cant grease the ball joints. Mine are a sealed unit that are suppose to last for a long time. So if yours are the same I dont think your friend trying to grease them will help. I am told that It has to be changed. Also when we changed our hubs it wasn't a clunking noise but a ... Read More

  Let me start by saying my mechanic is a family friend. Sometimes thats a good thing, sometimes not. In this case, I'm not sure. My antilock brake light came on, and he replaced the front hubs as the wires were worn. Light went off, all was well. However, driving it home, when I did a hard turn (left or right), I hear and feel through the floor a clunking sounding like ... Read More

  Per the Haynes manual, the 94 "W" motor lower intake torgue is 35 Ft lbs so that is x12=420in lbs. The 96 and newer is listed as 132 in lbs or 132x.083= 11 ft lbs. Year is critical on these so 94-95 use the higher 35ft lbs while if you torque a 96 and newer to that it will actually cause the block to distort and the crank with fail later ... Read More

  My truck has had the fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel injectors,the intake manifold gasket replaced,all in an attempt to remedy the stalling problem. The fuel pump is intermittent after a few minutes at idle causing the truck to stall(CHECK ENGINE LIGHT comes on). While driving on the highway, the truck will stall out(possibly the fuel pump)then fuel supply is restored and will continue in this pattern until I reach 50Km/h , ... Read More
