My wife uses a Black and Decker 400w inverter in her liberty for a heating pad, no heated seats in this jeep. I think the heating pad pulls maybe 75watts, so its no problem. We have also used it to charge cell phones, run computer, charge camera battery etc... The inverter sets under the...

What is it with blower motor resistors, they only seem to last about 80K miles. I've replaced one in my wife's old pontiac, my ford taurus, and now the wife's liberty. The pontiac and the ford were delco parts made in Japan, I think the Jeeps is valeo made in Mexico. It's a stupid simple...

I bought the harbor freight earthquake, of course its made in china but so are some of the snapons anymore. For doing my own repairs, I use it maybe once a month and its a beast for $89. I think its got max of 625ft-lbs torque. Seems nice quality and have yet to find a fastener it couldn't...

anyone get reimbursed for the aftermarket repairs like the Steiger parts?

why can't you just change it yourself? use the oil dipstick to check the level of the transmission.

I'm not aware of any OEM's recommending 3K mile oil changes, except for extreme use conditions. It is wasteful to change the oil that often. I change most of my vehicles at 5k mile intervals because its easy to remember. Or I change it at 6 months, which ever happens first. I usually get...

I don't believe the story. I personally have run a VW I owned at 10K oil changes per manufacturers recommendations. I had to replace the heads at 102,000 miles. Not due to a lubrication failure but due to a dealer screwup with a timing belt change. The engine looked like it was new except...

I used the supplied screw.

I did this to a rear driverside last spring. Took about hour twenty start to finish. Impressed with the product, looks pretty sturdy. Pretty simple, and cost about 80 or 90 bucks. If any of the other 3 windows fail, I will be buying again.

Was this an unexpected failure? Or were you doing something that caused it? Just curious. Good luck with the repair.

cool, that should help even better. pictures are always best for a simpleton like me.

don't pay that much for the parts, ask for if its their best price, ask for a discount. or go somewhere else even look online. A quick search online I found the set of front pads for $43.99 and the front rotors for $59.99 each. So about 2x what you would pay for aftermarket parts. If they...

just get the brake parts from the dealer, hopefully they will last as long as the OEM brakes. If they do, it will be cheaper in the long run. I typically get between 60K and 80K miles out of original brakes and 15-20K on aftermarket brakes. the wifes KJ has 62K miles on it and hopefully...

I had similar thing happen twice now in my 2007 KJ limited. It was caused by a short in the trailer wiring harness. After the first occurrence I replaced the wiring Harness, then 6 months later it happened again, now the new harness is unplugged and the lights are working fine. I have not...
