Thanks for your input! I'm thrilled that my work is helping people out.:High 5: In regards to the dish soap, while it's a good idea for a lubricant, and I did see the word 'sparingly', I wouldn't recommend others do this. When I consider that dish soap is used to clean oil off of waterfowl...

Sorry about the delay, I’ve been on a road trip and just haven’t had any spare time. Now that I’ve got a chance though, I’m glad to help! I marked the top of the filler hose, as it sits when connected to the tank. You have to twist the hose a bit to access the open end and insert the...

I've had no issues with auto-shutoff, even on pumps with huge flow rates. I'm fact, my only issue has been that sometimes, when the flow rate is really high, there has occasionally been a small burp as the tank reaches capacity. It's rare, and unless I notice the meter going extraordinarily...

Ditto.

Wrong sensors was my first thought. However, from all I can find on the internet, these (schrader 28308's) should work. Is there an authoritative source to correct me on this? Different settings...interesting. I don't recall anything about this on schrader's site, is there another place to...

When it became clear that my sensors weren't going to work, my first thought was a nagging fear that I'd done the same thing.:happy175: As far as I can tell though, these sensors should be working! Glad your problem is on its way toward solution, at least.

I suppose anything's possible, but a dead sensor seems unlikely. Already tried the 40psi thing too. Yeah, I'd found that and couldn't find any answers in old threads. I asked over there too though, so maybe someone will be able to help. No magnet, this is the 05+ version. And no evic. As...

I don't have personal experience with either, but from all I've heard from those who do, they're both perfectly good tires. If you've narrowed the options to just these two, the choice seems pretty simple to me: Do you want an A/T? Then get the A/T. Do you want a highway tire? Then get the...

I got new tires a week and half ago and had the shop replace all 5 TPMS sensors as well, as at least one of OEM sensors' batteries was dead (the shop used Schrader 28308 direct-fit replacements). I was told at the tire shop that the jeep would retrain to the new sensors within 15 minutes of...

Great to know! That points toward the temporary gasket expansion theory, I'd say. I hope we can get more user experiences and establish the answer for good!

It always amuses me to see/hear a story worded this way. In all fairness, Tom, I have no doubt your buddy worded it exactly this way to you to, but if he were more honest and responsible, he'd have said, 'I tripped over my wife's shoe bag and compulsively pulled the trigger, because I stupidly...

I agree many KJ's have the problem - but there were almost 900,000 sold in the US alone, and even on this forum we seem to be a minority. Consider that owners of so-afflicted KJ's are far more likely to chime in with their experienes than are those whose KJ's don't burp, and it's tough to...

Thanks for the info. I'll have to go back and edit that part out sometime. Of course, that opens up the question again: why does this only seem to afflict a small minority of KJ's? If anyone has ideas, I'm all ears.

That's the beauty of these rivets, they're a 'blind' style. You can remove and replace them without any access at all to the other side. The Harbor freight tool referred to earlier in this thread works perfectly. I just used it a month or so ago to remove and replace several rivets on my rear...

I suppose instead of just laughing, I could add my two cents. I only have experience with one car seat in the kj, but if you haven't already discovered this, the snazzy convertible seats that can be adjusted to fit anything from an infant on up...well, they're a rather tight fit, at least in...
