Thanks !
What's the history of the jeep/engine? Has there been a previous swap? Or a cam change?

I just replaced the REAR wiper arm and Wiper blade and I can't remember how the hose goes back on the wiper. I have it connected to the arm, but I just can't remember how to make it so it shoots on the window. Can anyone help me out? Pictures work great if not. Snap a picture of your rear wiper for me. Thanks in advance.

No crank swap, as far as I know completely stock, replacing the head gasket and it was cheaper to get a new hew than have a valve job done. well it was close enough in price and faster just figured I'd replace the rods as well.

Pivots J3235090

you should replace the lifters (tappets) at the same time as the pushrods though - they're a matched set

have no good pictures, but it just clips to the window side of the wiper arm about 1" from the blade's pivot point. Spray hole faces passenger side of jeep.

Email Chrysler and ask for a build sheet, this will tell all of your options. Just go to jeep.com an click contact us and fill out the form with your vin and all the other stuff i asks for they will get back to you within a couple of days. My bet is that it does have keyleless entry. Also for the gauge cluster check the fuses, and trace the wires and see if one is loose.

Today I noticed that when I started my jeep there was some water dripping out of the tail pipe and in about 5 minutes there was a small puddle about 2 inches in diameter... It was also running a little rough today. For instance the rpms dropped just a little while waiting on a traffic light (happened twice) anyone have any answers? This is the first time it had happened. It's a 99 2wd btw. Thanks!
