How do you shift to four wheel drive on a 1992 jeep cyj?
If it is a standard:
4High - Put in clutch, use transfercase shifter (shorter shifter) and follow the shift pattern into 4H
4Low - Come to a complete stop, Put in clutch, use transfercase shifter (shorter shifter) and follow the shift pattern into 4L
If it is an automatic
4High/4Low - Stop, Put vehicle in park, use transfercase shifter (shorter shifter) and follow the shift pattern into 4L or 4H
If this doesn't work it means something is wrong with your CAD (central axle dissconnect). Which means there could be a leak in the vaccum lines, or the shifter fork in the CAD is bent or broken.
How do you know when your neutral safety switch is bad on jeep cheerokie?
It will start sometimes, seemingly only when it wants to, and the most telling symptom will be no reverse lights.
Most likely not bad, just dirty.
On the passengers side of the trans about even with the front of the door fan shaped switch held on by two bolts.
I suggest taking it apart and cleaning it before you think about replacing.
The switch is nearly $300
To remove, flatten out the retaining washer side under nut, remove large nut, remove smaller ( 14mm ) bolt on the adjustment side.
cleaning is easy, 6 screws in back, pull apart, clean out all that old grease, pay special attention to the two contacts on the sweeper arm, they should move in and out easily as they have springs underneath and are the man contacts, apply new di-electric grease and reassemble.
reassemble and align before tightening, easiest way is to put trans selector in R and move switch until reverse lights come on.
How do you program a Chrysler jeep or dodge transponder chip key?
If you don't have 2 keys you'll need to call a locksmith or the dealership. Before you call the locksmith, make sure you have the four digit PIN code to your vehicle. The dealership has the PIN code and will give it to you for FREE with proof of ownership to the vehicle. The can also give you the key code which is helpful at the same time. Add a key when you already have two: 1) Insert one the programmed transponder keys into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the switch to the "ON" position 2) The key should be in the "ON" position for 5 seconds but not more than 15 seconds. Turn back to the "OFF" position. 3) Within 10 seconds, insert second programmed transponder key into the ignition and turn to the "ON" position. The VTSS ( Vehicle Theft Security System ) or Immobilizer System lamp (depending on model ) should start to flas. An audible tone will indicate the system has entered the " Programming Mode ". 4) Within 45 seconds, turn the switch to the "OFF" position. Insert the new transponder key and turn the switch to the "ON" position. After approx. 10 seconds and audible tone will sound and indicator lamp will illuminate briefly. This will let you know key has been programmed. 5) To add aditional keys, repeat steps 1 - 4.

How do you tow a 1977 Jeep CJ5?
For a very short distance you can put the transmission and transfer in neutral and tie off the steering wheel. But it is always recommended to drop the drive shafts. just make sure to take them lose at the axle. ANSWER 2 I have flat towed Jeeps for years by putting the transfer case in nuetgral, and the transmission in 3rd gear. You will have to either disconnect the rear wiring harness from the fuse plack or install diodes ahead of the taps where you connect the tow vehicle lights to the Jeep. If you have a locking steering wheel, you will have to place the key in the accessory position.

How much does it cost to lift a jeep?
It depends on which Jeep you are talking about and how high you want to go. Anywhere from $100 for a body or spacer lift up to several thousand dollars for a long arm 6" suspension lift.
The Jeep was invented in 1941 for the U.S. Military by The American Bantam car company. The final production was awarded to Willys as the military felt Bantam was too small a company to produce the necessary numbers needed. Ford also built the Jeep for the military using the Willys plans. Bantam, which was the inventor, produced only trailers for the Army and never made the Jeep. Willys called their Jeep the Model MB and Ford called theirs the Model GPW. Jeep was never a name the military used. It was only a nickname in the beginning.

Jeep front shakes when hit a bump?
worn steering stabilizer shock, get it changed
I had a 99 grand cherokee ltd and I've experienced the death wobble. That time for my Jeep they balance the front tires and permanently solved the problem. Now, I have another jeep ( same year and model, 4.7 V8 ) and this time balancing the tires did not solve the problem. It wasn't alignment neither although we think it is. Is actually several problems after my mechanic put it up on the hoist and used a giant clamp to inspect the parts under the truck's front and determined this; worn outer tie rods ends (left side and right side), worn tie rod ends(both sides), The entired drag link complete or kit needed to changed, the adjustment sleeves( both sleeves needed changed). He showed me the problem and I saw that those parts were loose and moving side to side and up and down. So yeah, either tire needs balance, alignment or what i just mentioned here above. And oh, not only my jeep shakes it also pulls to the right when let go of the steering wheel. My mechanic is a factory trained technician and have 20 years of experiences. we when for a spin and he said it wasn't the alignment although it appears that way, is all them parts (under) needed to changed.

In 1940 Karl Probst created the Jeep, and it rocked! This is the story of how the legendary Jeep came to be...and how it has come to be what it is today...
By 1939 the US military needed a new, universal vehicle to replace the motorcycle and its other vehicles (such as the modified Ford Model-T), so they invited 135 different car companies to compete for a contract to build a new vehicle for the military. The vehicle had to meet certain specs, such as a payload capacity of 600lbs, a wheelbase under 75 inches, a fold-down windshield, a gross vehicle weight of under 1200lbs, and it must be four-wheel drive. Only three companies entered, Bantam, Willy-Overland, and Ford.
Bantam enlisted the help of Karl Probst, and in 1940 was the first to produce a working prototype for the military, dubbed the Bantam Blitzbuggy and "Old Number One". Willy's-Overland and Ford soon followed with their own prototypes, the Willys Quad and the Ford Pygmy, which were basically knock-offs of the Bantam car. Willys eventually won the contract because of their 60hp "Go-Devil" engine, but Ford was also given a contract to help keep up with the military's demand for the vehicles for use in WWII. Willys later renamed their jeeps the MA and the MB, while Ford called theirs the GP and GPW. Many believe, as I do, that the Jeep won the war for the Allies.
As for the name 'Jeep', no one really knows for sure where it came from. Some people believe that it evolved from the Ford 'GP' designation, which many think stood for 'general purpose', which is incorrect. The "G" was for Government and the "P" was the vehicle class (80" wheelbase 4x4 ¼ ton truck). Another possibility is that the name came from Popeye's magical sidekick named jeep, who could do almost anything.

How do you remove a factory steering wheel for a jeep YJ?
pull on the edge of the horn button to remove it - then unscrew the 3 Phillips head screws that hold the inner horn assembly to the wheel ( do yourself a favor and unplug the horn under the hood before doing this or every peice of metal you touch makes the horn sound) - then remove the large nut in the middle of the steering wheel - next get a wheel puller and 2 bolts that thread into the 2 larger holes beside the steering shaft - a couple turns on the wheel puller and it comes right off
What does an oil pump switch do?
I really have not heard the term oil pump switch. There is an oil pressure switch on some small engines that will shut the engine down if the oil pressure falls below a preset pressure. These are not installed on vehicles for safety reasons. You vehicle however has an oil pressure sending unit that keeps track of the oil pressure and will warn you of low oil pressure with a red light, or by way of a gage, or both.
