welp... my jeep is doing jeep things.
for a little while now i've had what I've suspected was an exhaust leak tick from the manifold. haven't bothered to investigate it.
today we did the 100 mile round trip for the kid to go shoot (Camp Perry practice), and on the way back she popped a CEL...
I mean... slightly plausible?
Alarms are known to cause higher parasitic draw, and if it keeps sensing something that pulls it out of sleep mode, it could be waking up parts of the jeep that way. since it happened twice at the gym, are people even more of ******** when it comes to rubbing and...
only reason NOT to do a pan drop and fluid change, is if the fluid is in really bad shape. I know it's counter intuitive, but the whole "I changed the fluid & filter and my trans blew up 1000 miles later!" is a real thing. We just had it happen on the khaki jeep... 134k miles, never had a...
I would definitely be looking at the alarm system.
Tell us more about this no start.
What dash lights.
What sounds do you hear.
Does the alarm have remote start capabilities? If so does that work/not work?
What happens if you disconnect the battery for a couple of minutes?
How long are you in...
must... not... buy. has a bad rear axle, but everything else looks REALLY clean, especially the underneath.
I could toss the rear in from the parts jeep, drive it for a bit, then swap the manual trans into it.
got the battery hooked up and ran the winch to spool up the cable. now I need to figure out how to tie it down in the box. otherwise, lookling pretty good.
kid just discovered that for his 1999 dodge dakota 3.9L v6 5spd manual 3.55 geared 31" tired truck that:
he has a 20 gallon tank
his fuel gauge is accurate
he's getting 13.1mpg :D
could be an exhaust leak. mine developed a tick earlier this year, also from the driver's side. it's not a lifter tick I know that. it sounds more like exhaust. I need to get under there and see if a bolt/stud broke, or if it pushed the gasket out.
totally understand the mission creep problem.
axle and the one seal, that's what I'd do.
not unless you're REALLY feeling like doing the front re-gear, *AND* are already prepared to get the rear done before the winter season hits.
