CAn someone confirm the part # for the adjustment sleeve? For the tie rod upgrade. I can't find it online at autozone. I also noticed the price for the upgrade are a little different than the thread shared. Maybe it depends on location?

Mopar numbers are in there too. XJ has the same sleeve between pitman arm TRE and drag link.
I wouldn't hesitate to use a cheaper brand for thr sleeves... They're pretty simple lol

If I replace the the tie rod do I have to put up the whole front in the air or can I take the whole tie rod off all at once with the tires on the floor. I don't have jack stands at the moment.

Driving the Jeep, wouldn't go above 2k rpm. Wide open throttle Rpms/speed didnt change. Try downshifting/neutral (auto) still wont go above 2k. Stop, power cycle jeep works fine. Thoughts?

Temp gauge
My temp gauge shows this after it should be warm:
What could be causing this?
My first thought was a faulty sensor, but then I thought stuck thermostat.
I call on the powers of the Jeep community.
Edit: heat was working. But I couldn't tell if it was as hot as should be.

Thanks bruv, you too Cane. I flushed the system a few months ago and replaced the sending unit. I should have replaced the thermostat too.
So this needs to be dealership item only?
Just ordered one with a gasket from the dealership. It's $20something and the gasket is $6something. Ac/delcos are fewer than $10.
