well sonofagun...Sounds a little muffled but its better than rattling base. I used $2.68 pipe insulation at the Depot. Cut off 1/2 of a 36" section. Of course, there's already a pre-slit cut made to open and fit on pipe, so make about a 1/2 inch slit parallel to it. Gently slide the foam...

Years back while backing out in a tight parking space, I punctured the bottom front of my passenger side door from a parking lot bollard that had some metal loop thing sticking out. Because I was too lazy/procrastinating my insurance deductible, I covered it up with duct tape and drove it for...

My CRD lease is up in 10 months. It's a 2005 and has 30000 miles. Wanna take over the lease? I'll put it back up on lease trader.

Case closed. I took it to Spitzer Lakewood. Three business days later, according to the invoice, they replaced a modulator(?) and installed a new inner cooler hose to the air intake. Runs like a charm in the Cleveland rustbelt of ice.

Chrysler Jeep of North Olmsted. It's a place that's pushing cars out like electronics at a best-buy. They have a huge garage that looks like its going full tilt. It's the way their service department is set up that'll make you chuckle: Chrysler makes money hand over foot, you'd think they...

Well the week's over. I paid a visit to the service department and asked the "service advisor" whats up. Besides the expected OMG I'm sorry and the mad dash to the tech, I pried him to get some more info as to what this prick tech needs to fix my CRD. In a nutshell, the tech needs an an...

thanks for the help. I'm in a relatively big city (cleveland) and am about 2 hours out from the Jeep plant itself. There were two other things I had asked to fix. They fixed the 4WD shift lever (no brainer...they probably see that all the time), but I agree that you have to not intimidate. I...

I lease a 2005 Liberty CRD and one day I noticed an awful hissing sound when I accelerated. The turbo was toast. I took it to the dealer to get it and 2 other problems fixed with it. A week and several phone calls later, the service rep said the turbo was "replaced" but the tech couldn't make...
