    pcv valve location on sohc

    That is what I have been reading, I am about to turn over 50K on mine and I really do not know if it is bad but I have been getting this annoying vibration when running and the rpms seem to bounce around between 500 and 1000 so I thought I would replace to see if that helped. The part was only...

    pcv valve location on sohc

    Haynes shows it on the valve cover on the regular 4.0 but not the sohc. I am getting an odd vibration when idling under 1k whether in park or drive. Do you get it at all in yours?

    noticing noise when idling 1k in drive

    It started as a rattle but now is a vibration. I noticed today it is not as bad. It is very cold here and yesterday the high was 18 degrees so that may have had something to do with the high idle process. It is idling now below 1k and the vibration is not as apparent but yesterday it would...

    noticing noise when idling 1k in drive

    yes I did but I do not have those symptoms... What about torque converter problems? Mechanic said it could be that but I give up. When I accelerate to 1K it does not vibrate but anything lower in RPMs it does. Today it did it while in park when before it was only while in drive. Your...

    installing shocks

    does rear need to be elevated on both sides at same time to change or can you elevate one side and change shock then elevate other side and change shock? Same for the front end? I have done this before.

    Question About 00M12

    I did that and found a lot of stuff on it, thanks! Also, if this is the problem would the check engine light come on? Can I just go to AutoZone and hook up a system tester to see if anything is going wrong since the light is no on? I just hate spending time at the dealer for crap like...

    noticing noise when idling 1k in drive

    I am not familiar with tensioner problems, what is it, where is it and how do I fix it? I am getting the sound again, the suv can idle normally and no sound or vibration, or even give it gas and nothing. If the rpm goes over 1K then back down to about 700 I get the vibration and sound. Very...

    noticing noise when idling 1k in drive

    mine is not shaking, just when you put it in gear the rpms go to around 1k, then I hear a rattle sound. Sounds like something vibrating in the rear, maybe tail pipe or even the bottle jack rubbing against something in the back panel. Does not cause any problems just a little annoying...
