So I’ve had what I thought was just an upper oil pan seal go bad, but today after I was checking the dip stick to make sure the oil level wasn’t low I got the smell of gas from the dip stick, so now thinking something else is going on I started looking around the engine bay and low and behold I...

Hi all, I have a 1995 Wrangler Rio Grande YJ 2.5L manual transmission that is having an intermittent low voltage problem. About 85% of the time when I start it, my voltage gauge reads around 11.8. This matches the reading I get on the battery when it is running. Sometimes the voltage will go...

Strange issues with my JK. Last spring my JK didn't start on an unexpected cold morning. Clicked, dash lights going crazy and headlights flashing. Started after about 40 seconds of trying. I changed the battery and was fine (weather also warmed up after that). Fast forward to last week...

I've got a 2011 Rubicon, had the alternator go out on it about 7 months ago replaced the alternator and the battery (just in case) no more problems out of it. About 2 months ago battery light started coming on and my left turn signal stopped working. Checked the alternator, checked the grounds...

I have a 2004 Wrangler 4.0 with the 42RLE that is slipping. The trans seems to be slipping into neutral on its own and kicked the p0700 code at me. When I was merging onto the highway, the trans clunked into 1st and 2nd, then slipped into neutral as my foot came off the gas. When I got to...

So this is a long one so bear with me. I was driving my Jeep and after about two hours of driving, the battery light came on (its never done this). I was heading up snowboarding and after a day on the mountain, I go to start my jeep with no issue, starts right up. All of the sudden when idling...

Yesterday morning I went to start my jeep (2008 JKU 3.8L) and all that I heard was one click and then the battery completely died - no lights, no power locks, nothing. I took the battery to my local auto parts store and they told me the battery is fine and shows a 90% charge so I took it back...

Hey all, my 2016 unlimited has been great with no issues. Hasn’t had any problems starting but today i went out to run an errand and it started just fine, ran into the store and came back 10 minutes later and it wouldn’t crank. All my lights were fine, stereo started, ac started but the engine...

So the battery died on me. I was able to get it jumped and went to autozone and got a new one. They said it may need a new alternator since the voltage on the battery wasn’t going up. So I order one off rock auto and put it in Wednesday. Drove it around for about 45 minutes with no issues...

I have an 89 Jeep Wrangler 2.5L 5-sp manual. Replaced the alternator with a 78 amp and now I don't get proper volts as measured at the dash gauge. It went from steady at 14 with the old one to more like 8-9 with the new. Things like wipers and blinkers are now slooooow. The old Delco-Remy alt...

After a regear to 4.88 I did back in July to my 2012 Jeep JK I have started experiencing an issue when driving at highway speeds for 2+ hours. After a long period of driving I will hear a chime from the instrument cluster and all of the gauges will turn off for a second and all of the warning...

I've recently been having an issue with the battery voltage on my Jeep Wrangler 2004 TJ Unlimited. The car would start with 12v visible on the dash gauge, and the "check gauges" light would come on. After replacing the alternator, testing it, testing the battery, and charging the battery back...

Hey Guys, Over the past month, have had an issue with my TJ not going over 12v and the check gauges light coming on. Jeep almost died on the way home one night, going all the way down to 9v. I got it tested at the store on that drive back, and they said the alternator was bad. I installed a...

I just bought a 1998 Jeep Wrangler 4cly. I'm somewhat new to Jeeps other than owning a 2006 back in 2006. When the jeep is running the lights flicker and the battery reads 19volts. It appears to have a new alternator with some strange wiring and electrical pieces connected to it. I was...

Symptom: Jeep (97 TJ 2.5l) kicks and misses while driving. Alternator/Battery light normal for a few minutes. Then shows failure to charge. First by showing 12V instead of 14V. And then showing no charge at all. With red “check engine” light coming on. But engine stops missing and runs smoothly...

Hey all. I drive a 2012 Jk with ~75k miles on it. 18 months ago, I drove through a mud pit/puddle and my alternator started a scratchy whine which ended up being the bearing. Had to replace it, luckily did so under warranty at the dealership. Last week, had to drive through mud at work (I...

In the process of removing the alternator on my 98 TJ the little electrical tabs broke off. These are the tabs that come out of the little black plastic box thing that connects to the field terminals on the back of the alternator. I've read on-line that the little black plastic box the...
