Re: 4.0 I6 2000 WRANGLER RUNNING A CARB [grcooper] by mac24

Yes, it could be done, though I'm not sure why you want to complicate things by replacing the ignition and injection components.
Propane injection is relatively simple and can be done through the throttle body.
I suggest you do a little research on propane conversion manufacturers, though I'm not aware of a kit specifically for the 4.0 I6. Most conversion kits are fairly generic though.
 
To answer your original question, the I6 is virtually unchanged from when it used to have a carb as standard. The carb didn't work well though, and a kit to add fuel injection was a popular conversion (and is still available today). So yes, a carb and distributor is a simple swap from an earlier model.

Sure I remember you, Chief. You were so kind to me when I lost my Rossie Pup.
 
Glad you have that new Jeep.
 
Stick around.
 
Tom
Have you hugged your Jeep today?

They are fixing mine today. 06 wrangler X with 16,00 mi. They just replaced severely warped rotors and metal to metal brakes. The Shimmy is under warranty so no charge. 364.00 for the rotors and brakes.

KM2 vs MT/R by unlimitj

I need new tires for my Wrangler and I'm looking for info. I've had good luck with my Goodyear MT/Rs, but am always up to try a new tire. Now that the BFGoodrich KM2s have been around a while, anyone have experience with them?
Trying to decide whether to get another set of the MT/Rs or try out the KM2s (a little more expensive).
Thanks for the feedback.

Jeep Resale Value by embeeduece

Yup. She's five years old and I feel it's time to sell. So... I took her to Car Max for a first appraisal just to get a ballpark figure.
 
She's a 2004 Jeep Wrangler Sport. 60K miles. Great condition. Loaded w/ options. I know you'd need more detailed info, but...
 
Looking on KBB and eBay, I figured she's worth at the high water mark $15K. Probably less.
 
But Car Max came back w/ an estimate of $8500. Which I find to be criminally low.
 
Reactions?
 
Thanks,
Mike

Looking on KBB and eBay, I figured she's worth at the high water mark $15K. Probably less.
 But Car Max came back w/ an estimate of $8500. Which I find to be criminally low.

 
A quick scan of the completed listings on eBay shows that over the last couple of weeks only around 10% of the 100+ '04s actually sold, with prices averaging around $10-$12K.
 
There's nothing criminal about the Carmax offer. Why would they pay you more than they could buy one for at the 'dealer only' auctions? However, you now know the price you can get if you want a hassle free instant sale with no effort on your part.
 
If you want a shot at a better price you need to sell it yourself, and you need to invest the time and money to make that happen. Detailing, servicing, maybe putting a warranty on it, will all give you the best chance of a good result.
 
There's never been a better time to be a car buyer in recent years, nor a worse time to be a seller. The current economy and gas prices have seen to that.
Everyone thinks that their vehicle is worth more than it actually is, and an '04 Sport with 60K isn't exactly a rare commodity, even if it is loaded and in great condition.
 
If you can make yours more attractive than comparable ones I'd say $10-$11K would be a reasonable expectation.

O2 oxegyn sensor - $300 job ????? by mtnjack
Oct 06, 2008 (4:39 pm)
Reply
I just got back from the dealer who charged me $300 to install a new O2 oxygen sensor in my '05 Wrangler inline 6 cyl. He said this caused the engine light to come on, (P2096 message). They said it was a 2 1/2 hour job. Does this sound reasonable or did I get ripped off?
 
Thanks for you advice
