Pretty sure my starter went bad
After getting the chance to actually get under the hood and work with it, I found that it is the battery. I havent had the chance to get to the parts store yet, but I'll be buying a new battery. I was going to take the battery out of the TJ, and when I went to do that, found that the...- gordymills

Pretty sure my starter went bad
as far as replacing the starter? Do I have to remove or disconnect anything to get to the starter? or is it a matter of removing the screws and disconnecting it, and replacing like some that I've done in the past?- gordymills

Pretty sure my starter went bad
The battery was my original thought, because I know they tend to only last 5 years or so, and the car was purchased new in April of 2004. Would the battery light not show up if it went bad? All of the other lights came on, they seemed a little dim, but there's obviously still some juice in...- gordymills

Pretty sure my starter went bad
I have an 04 KJ and when trying to start it tonight, it made a fast ticking noise. The lights seemed dim, but the battery light was not on(it does light during the initial light test.) Needless to say, I connected the jumper cables to our TJ and let it run for about 5 minutes. Same thing...- gordymills

This makes a $55,000 Hemi JK look reasonable!

K&N vs. Airaid
The Filter came about a week after going from the 215/75/R16 tires to the 235/70/R16's and it made up for the MPG's I lost with increasing the tire size. Wasnt much, maybe 2 or 3 mpg's.- gordymills

K&N vs. Airaid
I'm using K&N works great, as I expected. I've put K&N in every car I've owned except my Cadillac STS because they didnt make one for that car. Had to use a Fram Air Hog.- gordymills

What is green that could be leaking from my KJ?
I just did a brake job on a JK that had blown seals on the rear axle, and leaking dif fluid into the brake housing. It was a dark green after being mixed with brake dust, and sand. Have you checked the axle seals to see if they are clean? This JK has been submerged in water above the axles...- gordymills

What is green that could be leaking from my KJ?
What about grease from the drive shaft? I've seen greases in varying shades from yellows to greens to blues. Grease would explain seeing the spots only when the snow comes in contact with the components. Just a thought, I'm no mechanic by any means.- gordymills

2004 Jeep Treble - FUNNY STORY!
I told them 5qts of Mobil 1 Synthetic anyway and to not mess with the air filter since it's a K&N. it went fine, but I can imagine their frustration when they were trying to actually enter it into the system. The paperwork I received was handwritten. It was still fun.- gordymills

what is this lever?
I believe that's the piece that pushes the glass outward when the latch releases. Either when you press the open-glass button on the Key Fob, or when you pull the handle on the gate.- gordymills

2004 Jeep Treble - FUNNY STORY!
I've never been a fan of seeing other people driving the exact same car as me. That being said, I purchased my 2004 KJ in September of 2007, and although the options on my car are a rare combination, I've still seen a few that are equipped simillarly. I started a business a few months ago...- gordymills

transponder keys
they should work, but the dealers would probably have to do some programming to make the key match the ignition.- gordymills

Quick Question...re: Front End
check the alignment. Mine was doing that, but after I got the alignment done, it stopped. When I got my tires, they put the car on the rack and if it didn't need an alignment, they dont charge you for it. If you know anyone at a tire place, see if they can put it up on the rack and just check...- gordymills

Kinda squirmy on snow
I had the Wrangler ST 215/75/16's on mine, and they were close to bald, ************. 4WD gave me great traction starting, but only in straight lines, I had a hard time keeping it going straight, and couldnt turn for the life of me. I just put Bridgestone Dueler APT 235/70/16's on and noticed...- gordymills
