No start on Laredo 3.7
Spray starter fluid and see if it cranks over if it does it a fuel related issue. If it doesn’t look for ground wire by starter sometimes they get corroded and give issues.- Noclutch

Welp after doing further taking apart I saw that the pistons are kissed on the 04.Kj. I did some research and saw that if your pcm(ecm) has the 4 connectors plugged into, it’s a plug in play with any engine 3.7 up to 2012 with the exception of swapping over the throttle body(intake manifold) and...- Noclutch

Working on the 04.Kj head gasket today. I have a question has anyone tried this trick with success. Were you can loosen the tension from the chain without having to remove the front timing cover. The guy initially guided a rod from the top of the head slips it in the tensioner and releases the...- Noclutch

Sorry if I didn’t see you mention this but have checked the rack and pinion bushings? That’s what solved my clunk sound when turning hard.- Noclutch

Wouldn’t hurt to give it a try if everything else failed. It’s relatively not hard to change I think you get access through the radio and you remove that by undoing 4 bolts I believe they are 7 or 8mm. Then loosen the switch and pry it back with hazard light switch still attached. Unplug and...- Noclutch

Check if the emergency lights work if they don’t then proceed to checking the blinker flasher which is integrated to the emergency light button on the dash. When my blinkers weren’t working last year that’s what I did, I swapped the blinker flasher from the 07 KJ and put it on the 04 and I got...- Noclutch

What did you do to your jeep today?
thank you! I was looking at the procedure and it might seem like something I can do if I follow all the instructions and put everything as it should be. I do most of the work on my own cars. But when it comes to timing the engine i still feel like a novice. Now I think this is the perfect time...- Noclutch

I’ll ask for the mileage on the head when i pick it up, the scrapyard said that they have it on the shelf. For $200 (my discount) I hope it’s a good head. Any advice on pulling the head and other components that should be changed while in there. It’s the passenger side head. US- Noclutch

What did you do to your jeep today?
I was on my way to pick up a used head right now with mostly everything in there. What’s a good solid way to check if the piston is good and the key way? Appreciate your input brother, really clears the fog and helps me lay out a game plan to get my 04.KJ back on the road!- Noclutch

Will do I’m hoping it’s something like that and for the misfire I’ll check the rocker arms and lifters see if they popped off and also do a compression test. Yesterday i put champion copper plugs i had back in and the misfire still persisted.- Noclutch

I’m not the original owner of the car. I used Prestone HOAT (orange)only or distilled water. I done changed the radiator, thermostat, thermostat hosing, upper and lower coolant hoses and the overflow tank. I never realized anything strange with the coolant while doing these multiple jobs all at...- Noclutch

Decide to drain the coolant on the 04.KJ and to my surprise found grey sludge in the coolant. might be looking like a head gasket failure. Trying to weigh my options now.- Noclutch

The battery is in good condition it’s at least 1 year and some months old terminals are clean and have been sprayed with fluid flim to keep them clean. The spark plugs changed them less than 7000 miles ago I do admit they are the laser double platinum spark plugs but it feels like a harder...- Noclutch
