The starter solenoid went bad in my CJ5 so I swapped it out with a Master Pro replacement part (Part#2SS3) I got from O'Reilly and now it's making some strange grinding/clanking sound while running. Looking for some advice on what could be some possible causes as I only changed the solenoid and...

I changed the oil in my 78 CJ5 today and notice even after idling for about 20 minutes the oil pressure was still around 50 psi at idle but the needle kept jumping all over the place. Also when driving it sits at 80 the whole time. I looked underneath the Jeep while idle and did notice what...

Title says it all, I've got a buddy who is putting a hemi in his 2013 jeep and can sell me the engine at a really good price, so a few questions: 1. How much work is would it be to make it fit? Is it even worth it? 2. Considering the modern engineering of the engine, will I have to put in a...

Hey folks! So my son and I acquired a CJ5 in pretty good, but raw condition, from my dad and are starting our rebuild on it. My son (14) is really starting to get into cars is "leading" this project (though let's be honest, he's 14 and struggles with motivation sometimes) and once we are done...

I've been rebuilding a 1976 Cj5, I6 4.2L for the past year. I've finally reached the monumental moment of starting the engine. Of course, it simply won't start. I'll list what it does/doesn't do below. If anybody has any experience with similar conditions, please chime in. Engine -turns over...

I have a 76 CJ5 with 54K miles. I got it 5 years ago with 49K and had the dealership here swap out the 232 with a 258 crate engine. I’ve had to repair little things here and there since then. 2 weeks ago I noticed that the ignition module had seen better days and decided to swap it out with a...

Hey guys, I am new here and recently purchased a 4 speed manual transmission 1980 CJ5 with only 59k miles on it. I do not have much knowledge when it comes to vehicle engines, so bear with me as I further learn. The main problem I am having right now is 1 out of 3 times I take it out for a...

I have my eye on a 1974 CJ5, sort of a barn find. Looks to have a stock 304 in it, in fact other than the seats and a few minor mods, it looks to be pretty original. I have spent a fair amount of time learning about the later model CJs, about 1980 and newer. But I know very little about the...

Price lowered; inquire via private message. Thanks.

I just recently inherited a 1974 CJ5 with an in-line 6 (232). The dash is pretty much toast. I need some assistance in learning what all the indicators and switches are supposed to do. 1 - Unknown - it pulls out but doesn't seem to do anything 2 - Some sort of an indicator. I think it has...

My engine has some serious blow back so I’m thinking the engine needs to be replaced/rebuilt. I’d like to buy a crate engine and keep the price below $1500. Anyone have any recommendations on where to buy? I’m new to this so any help is appreciated. 1974 CJ5 258ci 4.2L i6

Hey guys, i've got a new to me CJ5 that has a small lift on it. One of the first things i want to fix besides the fuel leak on the filler tube is the steering. It's got a bit of bump steer shimmy going on and i was thinking it might be the bushings need to be replaced, however after closer...

I am in the market to purchase my first Jeep. I have found two different models; 1970 CJ5 with Inline 4 and a 1991 YJ. The CJ’s motor has a bottom end knock in the motor and is missing the master cylinder. The seller wants $1800. The YJ for the most part is in decent shape. Haven’t heard it run...

Hello Jeep Peeps! I took my Jeep on an extended drive on the highway a couple days ago. Got there, didn’t notice any problems, but didn’t really look. Got home and now have a hiss coming from either brake fluid reservoir or from side of engine block. There’s also smoke rising after a minute...

A couple weeks ago I had an interesting experience on my way to work. While shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear I pressed on the clutch and it popped and went straight to the floor. I was still in 2nd gear and limped/coasted into a nearby parking lot. Eventually I determined that my release rod was...

I've never restored any vehicle before let alone done any major work further than changing brakes. I have, however, grown up around a family that used to practice restorations quite frequently. Unfortunately, time catches up to us all and a lot of vehicles either collect dust or weeds now. Out...
