My brakes are soft. And the fact I'm running 33's decant exactly help... All the lines are clean and have been bled multiple times before and after replacing the brake lines. Starting to think I might have a vacuum leak somewhere related to the booster, would that cause it? My rear hardware is in good shape as is the front and none if it looks like it needs replacing. I just want to be more confident it my brakes and have a better stopping ability

If no one answers right away give them a little but if time. Posting so close together will only make people feel you are trolling or just annoying. As for the coolant issue. You said you checked for leaks everywhere in the system, by the radiator. Always a chance the head is cracked

Mines magically losing coolant also. Not at the rate he is and i do see coolant kind of below where the radiator is. But i never see any drips and i cant ever find the leak. Opening the hood just smells like coolant. Radiator leak somehow?

And on the basis of cooling and temps. I did the cluster swap. My temp gauge sits way below 100 degrees and when it gets to operating temp its still a little below 100 degrees on the gauge. I tried moving it at temp to around 210 but that still wouldnt be accurate because i put it there and that may not be its real temp. Any ideas?

I have a 99 WJ 4.0. Whenever I start my jeep up and first put into reverse to back up out of the driveway there's a bit of a whining noise. It goes away as soon as I put it into drive. Any ideas?
