OK I got new leaf springs this summer and someone is selling a 3inch rough country lift with add-a-leafs. My question is since they are new (dorman) leaf springs and off I put add-a-leafs in them will they sag?

They won't sag nearly as quick as with a worn out stock pack, they will probably last longer than you will have the jeep.

Well its called reverse polarity, this allowed me to use there endless supply of energy to power of my Jeep!

Nah....

I called my kids school to let them know I was going to be dropping them off that morning and when I went out to warm up my Jeep, the battery was dead. As for the driveway, depending on which route I take, its normally about 1/16 mile. That particular morning was the coldest so far (-15) here in central Michigan, I was going to drive them in a nice warm vehicle, but nope my son had left the door open the previous night.

Hello everyone- Jeff here new to the forum.

Today I peeled off the remnants of what I thought was going to be a parted serpentinebelt and was surprised to find that there was an entire loop still intact…though shredded. Turns out the water pump pulley the belt rides on went “wobbly”and allowed the belt to slip off… then getting shredded from the fan belt etc….

Anyhow I began to order some replacement parts on-line and found somenegative comments about some sellers and ended up on this site as a “newbie”looking for advice on a reputable online parts vendor so I can replace thewater pump and serpentine belt. All advice welcome.
