    EVIC Install

    Are you going to move your front dome light to above the rear seats too?

    Got new meats, NOT HAPPY

    Holy crap, those Interco Boggers kick a$$ for looks! Must sound like a diesel locomotive going down the pavement.

    EVIC Install

    Hey, I'm almost done with my EVIC wiring. I've made and run the harness, with the EVIC connector & dome light connector spiced in, and moved/wired the original dome light above the back seat. I'm now working on the splices under the dash. I'm going to tap into the fuse block by tapping into...

    90k (or around there) service

    I used the expensive Mopar stuff and their flush/additive. I don't know if it's any better than the other anitfreezes out there, but I was at the dealership at the time, so I bought it. I did not buy the pre-mixed stuff - but I did mix at a strong 50/50 mix. I flushed with distilled water...

    90k (or around there) service

    I didn't put the 90,000 on all myself either - and I can bet those plugs were original when I changed them. They came out ok. A penatrating oil can't hurt, but I would only use that after I blow out the plug hole with compressed air. There's an 0-ring seal at the plug connection that's...

    EVIC Install

    I just got mine today! I just got my EVIC today! QueensJeep - did you install yours yet? How did it go? I bought one on eBay from a 2004 Chrysler 300M for $175 including shipping. This has the Homelink and the TPS. I have to order the plastic mounting bracket for the EVIC, and go to...

    90k (or around there) service

    Anti-seize on the spark plug threads, and dielectric grease on the top conductor of the plug. Also, I also did my 90,000 miles service. First thing I did was flush the radiator with the Mopar stuff. It comes with an additive to the coolant, also Mopar. I drained the coolant, filled with...

    Oil change idea

    Not that I'm a big fan of Fram oil filters, but I think they're the only ones left that have the '3/4 turn past contact with the base,' or the like written on the filter, with the little arrow marks every 1/4 turn. I've always used that as my motto when tightening oil filters. My father had...

    new toys have arrived

    I don't know of a good supplier of shock boots. But I'm glad you didn't remove the control arms. I only found one 'how to' post on the installation of a KJ lift kit, and the guy had you removing the upper/lower control arms, and then getting a front-end alignment afterwards. I knew there...

    new toys have arrived

    Congratulations on your install! It's still fresh in my mind, so I can relate. So, your rear shocks don't have covers? My concern is the rod getting knicks/scratches from rocks/debris from the tires, and causing leaks at the seal. My OME shocks have the standard metal covers, but if they...

    I Need Help!!

    Had the same problem with mine. And that's exactly what I did - used a 2lb hammer and beat them out. Of course, I removed the compressor threaded shaft completely before doing so. Just watch you fingers and toes. You posted a while ago, so I'm assuming you hopefully found a solution.

    new toys have arrived

    It's true, you can use a jack between the frame and brake rotor, and you'll accomplish the same result. But if you detach the sway bar - 2 bolts on either side, which are easily accessible - you can install one side just be pushing down on the axle. The other side you have someone stand on the...
