    What did you do to your jeep today?

    KJ? If so check 50A fuse 9 under the hood. Make sure the fuse terminals are nice and clean. I would also check door lock operation from each door switch to confirm switches are functioning properly. I think there must be a relay that powers the door locks that is starting to fail. See if...

    2009 KK Sun Sensor

    Update: Yesterday I removed the Sun Sensor to prep it for a light dusting of black spray paint. The Sun Sensor is super easy to remove. You can work it up and out using a trim tool, small flat blade screw driver etc. Once I had it out and wire harness unplugged, I slipped a small flat blade...

    Burnkat, I bought this scanner last August. Works great on our 2009 Liberty. If you do have a DTC it will tell you what it is and even provide links to videos or websites on how to correct the problem! You can view them right on the scanner! It even has a speaker so you can hear the video...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Today I added a can of the ATS 505 CRF Fuel treatment to a full tank of gas to our 2009 KK “Quackers”. I checked my fuel mileage and calculated 16.71MPG! My daughter started putting on about 120 miles a week that’s all highway miles. That may explain the higher MPG. Around town we were...

    2009 KK Sun Sensor

    I don’t think tint film will work. Wrapping film around a hemisphere shaped sensor would be impossible. Maybe a dusting of spray tint would do it.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Today I changed the oil and oil filter on “Quackers” our 2009 KK 131,849 miles. I always use Valvoline full synthetic high mileage 5W-20 and a Mopar filter. On the previous oil change I used ATS 505 CRO as instructed just prior to the oil change. This is the first time I used it. I noticed...

    2009 KK Sun Sensor

    Howdy All, I was wondering if anyone out there has messed with the Sun Sensor on the dash that controls automatically turning on the headlights in low light conditions. Our 2009 KK "Quackers" has the Auto Headlight feature and I have noticed that there are days where I feel the lights should...

    Blown OME - Moving to Bilsteins

    Bilstein 5100’s are valved differently than the 4600’s. I looked into the differences between the two when I did my lift on our 2009 KK. According to Bilstein, the 5100’s are valved for a firmer ride than the 4600’s which is more suitable for lifted vehicles and larger tires. The 4600’s give...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I also have used 505 CRO and 505 CRF twice now on our 2009 KK with 129k miles. It always amazes me how dark the oil becomes after adding the 505 CRO. Using it took care of slight lifter tick upon start up with the first treatment. The tick is gone now. I also used 505 CRF along with 505 CRO...

    2012 Jeep Liberty Limited (Jet?)

    According to your build sheet, it has the dreaded canvas Skyslider sun roof. I would pass on that Liberty for that reason alone! Hec

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Flex fans have thinner fan blades. They are designed to move more air at low RPM's. At higher RPM's the thinner fan blade will flatten out and basically do nothing and therefore not induce a load on the engine. At highway speeds the air created from the fan isn't needed for cooling.

    Someone please help me

    Faulty radiator cap can cause this too. Replace the cap if it’s older than 5 yrs old.

    Remove stripped Torx from EGR

    Do you have room to hammer your torx bit driver on the stripped screw? If so, you can try using a piece of tin foil. Fold it so you have two or three layers of tin foil thickness. Place the tin foil over the torx screw and hammer the torx bit in. Hopefully the torx bit will bite enough to...

    KK Lift in 2025

    I am surprised you found OME Struts and Rear Shocks. When I recently did our KK's lift in Dec. 2024 OME shocks and struts were unavailable. So I went with Bilstein's instead. So far so good. I have a question, why are you adding top spacers? Are trying to get a little extra lift in the...

    Bert is in my driveway...won't start...

    Just a thought. Try starting it with the gear selector in Neutral. If it starts then there may be a safety switch at the shifter that needs adjustment. The key should only crank over the starter if the shifter is in Park or Neutral. Worth a try. Hec

    Hands free use

    I think it’s more than the just the radio. You may also need a steering wheel with audio control buttons and a microphone to have hands free with factory radio. I installed an Alpine head unit with a back up camera in my daughter’s 2009 KK. She now enjoys hands free, a USB port to charge her...
