I ordered the "new" engine yesterday. We're getting a 1997 engine with 56,000 original miles. Will come complete minus, A/c, Alternator and Power steering unit. Will take 7 -10 days to arrive.
We'll finish pulling the old engine this Thursday, then maybe have one Thursday to clean up or fix anything we want in the engine compartment before the new engine arrives.
Fernando secured 4 JK shocks with very limited mileage for $80.00 and I'm going to go ahead and order the 2 1/4 inch spacers.
Thanks,
Fred

If I bring my jeep could we do a tire rotation and check out the brakes? Maybe a lube and transmission rebuild if there is time  |

Hard to say who will come as the guys usually don't tell me ahead of time that they will be there. I'm pretty much dedicated my time to the engine removal. Depending on who comes I might be able to have some guys help you. Best I can do at this time.
Thanks,
Fred

$80 for used jk shocks? Wow I gave a set of zero mileage shocks away for free to an xj guy I just met lol.

I'd help out with ensuring your brakes get done properly but got a KOH team meeting tonight.

Fred, Do you have any news on the engine? Nope, I'm just a little concerned. I may contact them again. Fred |
