    I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty and went to jump start it with my welder, have used it before, but for some reason too many volts went through it this time

    There should be a special emoji for this. ;) Im not laughing, more of an SMH. I also wish that I could be more helpful, but all I can think is "poor little ECM" !!! That said, I am not sure if OP meant ECM (Engine Control Module) when he said that he already replaced the BCM (Body Control...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Its not the same as Pick n Pulls, but I've used https://www.car-part.com/ to successfully find all different kinds of parts for my vehicles. It's kinda like the searchtempest.com CL/FB classifed search aggregator, but for used car and truck parts only. MANY different wreckers across the...

    Question about windshield seal

    Not that concerned about it, though of course I was the person who actually did use black exterior grade 100% silicone caulking to fill the gap that the OP was asking about. Anyone else, of course, can have thier own opinion about it and make their own decision if it is a good idea or not, but I...

    Question about windshield seal

    As always … your car = your money = your choice. Personally I am not worried about that all… all the silicone that I applied is completely outside of the parts that any hypothetical future urethane adhesive will need to bond to, as evidenced by the fact that it is all applied above the TOP...

    Question about windshield seal

    Bought my 2005 used and it had a piece of moulding there that was starting to come unglued at one end and flap around at highway speed and marking up the paint job so I just pulled it off completely.

    Question about windshield seal

    It was a regular caulking tube of outdoor 100% silicone window and door (exterior)caulking IiRC it took almost the whole tube to fill the gap. Obviously it’s a good idea to thoroughly clean the channel and adjacent areas with acetone first. After cleaning, I applied the painters tape to the...

    Question about windshield seal

    There is a moulding piece that fills that space, but I dont know if it is still available it or if you could find one in good shape at a junkyard. I chose to fill mine with black 100% silicone caulking. I first applied blue painters tape on both the roof and windshield to make applying it and...

    Lower ball joint loose in knuckle

    Yes it can still apply though I’m sure Others can correct me if they feel differently IMO there is nothing to lose by trying this … you will know if you were successful by noting how tightly the BJ presses in when you install it. While this is an old school mechanics trick people do this on...

    Lower ball joint loose in knuckle

    Before replacing it, you could try "dapping" the existing LCA socket with a cold chisel. Dapping involves punching a sharp, hard pointed cold chisel into the surface of the taper at regular intervals where the BJ will eventually sit. It raises up small bits of steel on the surface that will...

    Changed starter in 06 KJ and it still wont start

    Hopefully, you knew to disconnect the battery ground before doing ANY of the electrical work. PLEASE be sure to do that, before following any of my advice here, and then reconnect ONLY when you are ready to try the starter again.

    Changed starter in 06 KJ and it still wont start

    A few questions and a couple possible solution for you Did the new starter work at all out of the box? Is it OEM or Amazon aftermarket? NIB or rebuilt? If it is aftermarket or rebuilt, it is sad to say, but also certainly possible that it is bad right out of the box. My advice would be to...

    Loose Turbo Meter? Could it be the problem?

    “Test” the turbo by physically inspecting it for damage and spinning it by hand there should be just a little side play and no end play (in/out) at all. The side play is to allow for a thin film of oil to coat the journal bearings while the turbine is spinning (sometimes at over 125k RPM)...

    Loose Turbo Meter? Could it be the problem?

    That mostly depends on if the “no boost”problem was that the boost gauge wasn’t reading boost because of the loose sensor or if the turbo wasn’t actually producing boost. I’m guessing it’s the former because otherwise your CRD would be laggy and blowing a lot of black smoke which you didn’t...

    Air in the coolant system.

    I always use an incline sometimes as much 10° to bleed the air of any of my vehicles coolant system. Just seems to work better for me.

    IR Laser gun is a great way to check for wheel and brake problems in order to narrow down where the problem is. That said, did you ever check to see of the PB was fully releasing?? Like others pointed out, they do get stuck sometimes. Another problem on the rubber brake hoses can be the...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    That's a good idea…if the boot is still in good condition, I have heard of people removing one or both of the ear (Oetiker) clamps, sliding the boot back and then adding grease to the CV joint itself and finally reinstalling new ear clamps to seal the deal.
