Found a new gremlin when driving to work tonight. Jeep stalled out and engine shut off when making a right hand turn into the lot. Has half a tank of fuel. So now the Internet troubleshooting begins. It has run fine for the past week no issues. So based on reading, it could be the steering column, a bad ground, fuel pump, fuel filter, PCM issue or crank shaft sensor issue. FML.

Switched out my old 07' kenwood 316s headunit for a new kenwood 155u, defiantly made a difference and finally got my antenna back from having to use a transmitter for my ipod

The welds are good, I know they will hold. The only part that worries me is it's a Dana 35 with 245000 miles on it turning 33" tires, used as a daily driver and wheeled every weekend.

installed wide band O2 sensor and gauge with a feed to the PCM.
Still need some fine tuning in programming it but that's for tomorrow.

Started prepping the comanche for the 1000 mile drive to our new home. Moving to Idaho for school. The reason I'm selling my cherokee. Going to swap my good wheels and tires between the two. All my goodies I want to keep off the cherokee is going on the comanche. Even though I should keep the cherokee for during the winter since its a 4wd. I'll most likely finish the 4wd conversion while up in idaho so I can safely travel the snow covered roads till I can afford to buy another cherokee.

There really isn't a PCV valve. This is a CCV system and uses a fixed orifice in the rear grommet. Can you post a pic of what yours looks like now?

Maybe you shouldn't put tacks in it then?

I looked at the video. There is no PCV valve with a ball on these Jeeps. You need the vacuum harness to run from the front hole of the valve cover to the intake tube/air filter.
