I don't think it is very common, judging by the small number of posts on it. Even the most minor of problems get amplified in discussion forums so that's a good sign. Did they do any real tests like looking for combustion gases in the coolant or looking at the plugs or borescoping the cylinders...

Glad you figured it out. It's easy to find it online when you know what to search for. Pipe wrench spring.

I've had this a long time. Somewhere close to 50 years. Still sprays, too. Not much, but a little. I bought it when I accidentally left part of a butchered deer in the cab of my dad's truck for a week. Was handy for other uses, too.

Does ChatGPT provide a part number and or a photo of the piece it thinks it is?

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 If there was a choice between that and rotting whale, I'd go with rotting whale.

Doesn't look like an automotive part to me. The general look of it looks familiar but I can't quite place it; kind of akin to having a word or name at the tip of your tongue but you can't quite get it out. Maybe a draw/slider stop on a toolbox or part of the creeper (press down on the tab to...

Personally, I do front-to-back rotations only. I don't cross them to the other side or include the spare. I've never had a problem or poor wear doing it this way and it is easy to do with two jacks. At one time in the distant past there was something about it being bad for radial belts to swap...

30 years ago a friend of mine installed a CB in his CJ. Turns out there wasn't much of anyone to talk to or listen to back then, at least not where he lived. Was a waste, and the antenna was annoying off road.

Bought someone's take-offs on eBay. Roughly $100. I figured it was worth a try for $100. I installed them myself so no labor cost. I don't have the exact part numbers on me at the moment. I think there are different "Max Tow" springs, and probably additional ones for 2020. I think one of the...

Mine is stock height, daily driver, and the bed is empty 95% of the time. I tried the stock red shocks, Fox, and Bilstein 5100's. The red and Fox were too floaty for me on the highway. Biggest improvement to my ride quality, though, was stiffer rear coils (Max Tow). Prior to that mine rode...

All the Pedal Monster does is remap the throttle pedal, like if you pushed on the throttle harder/faster than you actually do. It does not change anything in the engine or transmission programming. JSCAN does have a transmission relearn procedure. I don't know exactly what it does, though. I...

Oh, I thought one of the others was steel. Maybe I can get the new/EU/Aussie steel hood when the time comes. I'm just not looking forward to new paint or a new hood every few years due to aluminum corrosion.

Nothing against the venting or the style, just the corrosion.

Rumbling could be a wheel bearing, which can also cause a slight pull to one side. If bad enough it can also cause things to be out of place enough to get other sounds (like your metal-to-metal contact sound). If it happens at walking or jogging speed, have a friend walk/jog beside you and...

I'd rather have the plain steel one than the "vented" aluminum one that corrodes and bubbles the paint. When I end up taking mine in for the corrosion that is starting on it, I plan on asking about changing it out.

Please quit asking ChatGPT questions about vehicle problems. AI gives useless, generic, or absolutely incorrect answers. One sign of bad batteries or a bad aux battery is "issue with start/stop feature", but you didn't say what the issue is. It is much more likely to be weak batteries than "bad...

And some people may have disconnected the electrical connection from the tailgate lock because they got really annoyed about the tailgate being locked whenever they wanted to open it and didn't have their key fob with them. They use the key to lock it when needed. A hose clamp is a great idea...

I have a miniature thumb drive plugged in the console that has nearly my entire music collection on it. That's a little over 1,800 individual songs in AAC format (because mp3 sucks). It is barely larger than the part that plugs in. It is basically part of the vehicle now, unlike my phone that I...

Spray-in liner with a bed mat to keep things from sliding around, prevent scratching/tearing, and absorb some impact. That would be my ideal but right now I have only the bed mat, no spray-in liner. I'm fine with just the mat except for the tailgate getting scratched up.

And just as useless.
