    water pump keeps leaking

    http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44066 Most pumps come with a new O-ring. The O-RING on the WP is a compression type and my guess is that once used and then removed, it should be replaced.

    Switching to Synthetic oil

    I switched to Synth after 70,000. I now have just over 100,000 on the truck. Running like a top. I try to get my changes in every 4,000.

    D rings and Cold air installed.

    The stock airbox in the KJ is actually very well designed. It's not as sexy as the open intakes, but you'd have to work extremely hard to take in water with that stock airbox.

    05 Liberty 3.7L Rattle/Growl Noise

    I have a growl/vibration that started when I replaced my tensioner with the Dayco. My growl shows up when I would rotate my steering wheel to the far ends of its travel, and was worse when the airconditioner was on. The growl became diminished when I changed to a newer belt. You can...

    Rear diff rebuild

    I have the same noise coming from the rear. One shop said it was the rear diff, probably a pinion bearing but wanted $1200 to start. Price went up from there. Took it to another shop a few months later to have them look at it, because they quoted me $600. He opened it up, couldn't find...

    TPS, mass airflow, mulitple engine codes.

    Might be something not related to the sensors that is giving you those errors. Might take it somewhere and have a compression check done. Hopefully more knowledgable members will weigh in here.

    How Many Use 120V Inverter in KJ?

    Hmm, these should work well with the 1500 watt inverter. http://www.amazon.com/Cobra-CPI-A4000BC-4-AWG-Heavy-Duty-Inverter/dp/B001550DVU/ref=pd_bxgy_auto_img_b

    How Many Use 120V Inverter in KJ?

    You shouldn't need a pure sine-wave to run your laptop. What's the rating on the laptop power supply? My old 300 watt inverter wouldn't run and charge the laptop at the same time. It would charge it if it were off, or run it if it were fully charged, but not both. And yeah, 75 watt cheapo...

    Gas tank only fitting 16 gal?

    I have the exact same issue, but it's not the gas tank, it's the fuel light. The fuel light is "supposed" to go off when you have 2 gallons in the tank, "more or less". For a lot of liberty drivers, it's more, and often a lot more. Mine goes off when I have more than five gallons in the...

    How Many Use 120V Inverter in KJ?

    Because now you've got a coffee maker that only runs on 12 volt. I always get a kick out of some of the tech threads where some guy reworks his entire computer or some such device to run on 12 volts dc so he can put it in his car. I'm kind of a "bam! Third wheel!" kind of guy. Just go...

    How Many Use 120V Inverter in KJ?

    Any time you introduce a heating element, you've got high wattage. I'm a little surprised you've been able to run a laptop on 60w inverter. The laptop on my desk which is no workhorse has ain input 1.5a, 120v rating on its power supply. About 180 watts. 300 watts is generally a bare...

    Front brakes and rotors

    Not bad at all. Sounds about right for a standard brake job. Had you done the work yourself, you could have put pretty high-end brake equipment on for $420. Speaking as a non-super mechanic, front brakes are something that are pretty easy to do. I would expect around $400 for a shop to...

    ridiculous stealership sticker removal?

    You might be able to get it off with a good pressure washer.
