Thanks Brillo. Mama would scold me if I ever rode the clutch, so I get that whizz with clutch out. It doesn’t always happen, moreso in colder weather, but also in warmer months (heard it just last week for example). I will be getting that GL4 refeshed here shortly, one way or the other. I’ll...

Thanks Charlie. I haven’t been under the shifter boot yet, so that will be new and exciting. i’m hoping you’re right. Shifter seals seem a much easier task than pulling the t-case.

Hi folks. It seems to be leaking from the back-up switch or the gasket between MTM and transfer adapter. Just confirmed the switch isn't under-torqued (FSM says 32lbf and it took more than that to nudge it a hair tighter). I'm heading out for degreaser to isolate the source, and some GL4 to top...

Also, to pile on, when you log in and type up a new post and get it just right and hit submit. The site says "hey you aren't logged in anymore, go ahead and do that", and when you do it, your draft post is GEE OH EN EE. <sigh>

I just had exact same symptoms and it was the turn signal fuse. Weird that the flashers work, and pushing them in a little allows the blinkers to work. “What blew the fuse” is what I want to know…

Thanks. That’s actually something I’ve never done. My 98 I’ve had for 10 years is overdue, this 99’ I’ve had for 1yr is unknown but was well maintained. Anything special, or just “hit the fittings with the grease gun”? (Will look in FSM, and inspect the joints.)

Thanks. Have not checked that. But...please correct me if I'm wrong...I don't think a belt related noise would stop when I put it in neutral. ? EDIT: see OP. does NOT stop when out of gear, only happens when cold engine, I have a P0441.

I recently did fuel pump, and it seems like I started hearing it sometime after that, but not certain. Also had the whole evap can out prior to dropping the tank (when I was troubleshooting the non-start issue and hoping it wasn’t fuel pump haha). I’m 99.9% certain I have all the hoses where...

Yeah, I see posts and vids about HATCHES, but they have comments like "nice, but the hardlines make it so you can't actually get the assembly out". I haven't seen one where they come back and say "no problem, it came out fine", haha. I looked into the VENT PIPE, but then couldn't find a clear...

Dropped my tank recently for fuel pump. It wasn't a nightmare, but wouldn't want to do it on the trail. Bottom line, I'm trying to think of a way to improve the bulletproof nature of the rig, and make it easier to address a fuel pump issue that happens at an inopportune time. (1) Anybody...

This is Solid Troubleshooting Advice. Thanks.

programming mode can be pretty finicky, but keep trying I tried to get my '99 into programming mode about 10 times, and had almost decided something was broken, when it finally worked. It was such a surprise that I forgot which keys on the remote to press and had to start over, ...and... then I...

Are you talking about lubing the motor, antenna or both? The one on my 99 is the rare one that’s working great and I want to keep it that way if possible :-)

It made a weird brief shriek after the engine caught. Never heard that on either of them before. But, it fired right up and has been running solid (with no shrieks on subsequent starts). So… Connector was pretty tight. I had to squeeze extra hard to get the click from it. I’m thinking when PO...

Think I may have found the problem...CkPS was disconnected(?!) The comment by 19963.4lsr5 was right on the money. Thx! Haven't put everything back together yet, but I'm assuming it will at least run now. Curious if it will go back to the "shuts off when warmed up" symptom.. Trying to wrap my...
