What did you do to your jeep today?
Got the new starter in Bert. All is well. Up and running on the factory drive train with 300k miles on it. Kids bought the wrong one initially. After a talk with the guys at NAPA (Oh, yeah, forgot to mention their regional manager is a friend I've done business with for decades) Got a brand new...- Johnny O

Wifey had major surgey and is recovering well, so finally had some time to work on Bert in between wound care and drain purges (gross even by Biologist standards)... Replaced starter. Greased the JBAs. Cleaned the snorkel pre and post filters. Re-wired the rear spot lights. Polished headlamp...- Johnny O

I do not like 'em either, but their return policy is pretty good. For reference, most parts dealers do the same thing.- Johnny O

Hmmm. Electrical is good. Suspect is wrong starter or is improperly torqued. Tough to troubleshoot when you don't know what all happened.- Johnny O

Dang kids never listen. I told them Bert (2007 KJ 3.7L) was old and tired and deserved to be taken care of and only used around town. Instead of having me troubleshoot a starting issue, they just threw a new starter in on their own. Good for them... Then they drove it down to Lincoln, NE an...- Johnny O

Bert needs a starter
Hey gang. Long time since I posted KJ stuff. I don't get it. 325k miles and the factory starter went out... Son-in-law actually swallowed his pride and asked me for help. This is good, as I'm making him do the work and strictly stuporvising. However, never had to do a starter job.l on...- Johnny O

Yeah, too dang cold here to DIY it, plus I get alignments done at the Local DIY garage, local veteran owned. 75$ with military discount. My garage is three inches short to fit the Jeeps, so most work is done in the driveway.- Johnny O
