Im referring to the noise coming from the front.
Reason I say drum brakes is because my pop when starting from a stop and sometimes echoes to the front.

It back fires, won't go above 1000 rpm, and no power what so ever.

Check firing order.

Just pulled my front drive shaft..test drove it and still had the pops.

I do have a loose shock..its loose on the stud side..I can't tighten or loosen it..its like the nut is stuck on the painted threads. I checked the ball joints and didn't see any play...other then the entire axle moving from the coil compressing

Are you even able to start the jeep? That's CPS signal cannot be found while engine is cranking. If you stall out or can't start the jeep you'll need a new CPS.

Yeah it starts up pretty quick so I don't know what s wrong. I cleared the codes so I'll wait a few days and see if they come back

So I'm messing with pressing the new U joints into my axle shafts. I'm not entirely sure if the yoke ears are bent (they kinda look like it) or if the piece of crap press is putting them in on an angle. I see a lot of screwing around in the near future.

Anybody else run into this? Suggestions on how to deal? (the ****ty press is a rental so demolition won't work)

OK so I replaced the o2 sensors yesterday to see if they were causing my 7mpg but they weren't because I'm still getting 7mpg. What the crap is wrong?

Hello, I posted here a week or so ago about a starting issue and that has since been resolved but now the issue is no headlights. The bulbs are both good. I am wondering if it may be the switch. When you turn the headlights on the dash lights dim a little but no headlights, just the other lights come on and when you turn the switch to the off position the dash lights get brighter again.
Any help would be amazing
