My dumbass opinions are only outweighed by my racism.
No one forgot that I exist to defend violent cops, champion chaining down immigrants, and have trash opinions on cooking.

The Jeep, with 70 thousand miles on it started to eat its power steering pump. It was louder than any Ford unit I've ever encountered.
2/10 beer job on the Pentastar. Took maybe 45 mins start to finish. The hydraulic tensioner is a bear. It's stout enough to crack my elbow in ways that don't sound good.
Button it back up. Still howls. Ah dammit.
Couple hundred miles later the new pump noise is gone.
Self healing Jeeps make me uneasy.
It kind of looks like a ZF clone. I'm gonna do a teardown of the old one to see if there's ways I can improve it. Because at $350 bucks and 70k-miles, that's kinda terrible. The one on my million mile ford is original, loud as it may be.
The nice thing about my TJ is that pretty much everything is a couple beers away from me fixing myself, rather than handing it over to a dealership (or worse) for them to gently caress with.
The most difficult this was finally fixing the death wobble, which many thousands of dollars later ended up being a simple squishy bushing in the track bar.
