    Hey, what's that noise?

    Agreed, it definitely becomes less noticeable once the Jeep is warmed up. Until I pull into a drive-thru lane, that is. Then it seems to be quite loud, announcing, "Hey, everyone, look at the squeaky Jeep over here!" EDIT: This thread may be more discussion on the same topic...

    Hey, what's that noise?

    I have a persistent squeak coming from my front suspension. It happens most frequently over bumps, especially in cold weather. It has recently spread to the rear wheels. Must be contagious. Anyway, I recorded it tonight so the knowledgeable ears here could have a listen. The recording was...

    Leak from plug on transfer case, 03 KJ Sport

    Is it weird that the Jeep seems to ride a little more smoothly now that the front drive shaft is out? Maybe it's because that joint was so close to failing that it was shaking things up.

    Leak from plug on transfer case, 03 KJ Sport

    Good catch, but I meant to say that I had all 12 bolts out. I figured out that it needed to be lifted up on the t-case side first. Once it was above the yoke, it was pretty simple to persuade out on the diff end. Now I need to order the new CV joint for the t-case end. The boot on the diff...

    Leak from plug on transfer case, 03 KJ Sport

    Okay, I'm working on the front drive shaft. I got all six bolts out (which wasn't easy with the Jeep on the ground). Now I'm trying to get the drive shaft out, but it doesn't want to budge. Any suggestions? Do I need to get it up in the air to take pressure off the wheels?

    Leak from plug on transfer case, 03 KJ Sport

    Okay, I'm done relying on my memory. The transfer case clearly isn't leaking from either of the plugs. Could this be a seal issue? As for the clunking, I took a good look at the boot on the CV joint transfer end of the front drive shaft and it's toast. I'm not afraid to take a...

    Blower Resistor Question

    Yep. I did this repair a few years ago. The hardest part was going to the dealer for a new resistor.

    Leak from plug on transfer case, 03 KJ Sport

    Awesome. Thanks for the tip. I love getting my hands dirty, and I love saving money. My favorite thing in the world, though, is to successfully complete a repair that my wife didn't think I could/should do myself.

    Leak from plug on transfer case, 03 KJ Sport

    Assuming this is the case, any idea what sort of cost I'm looking at for a repair, dealer vs. independent?

    Leak from plug on transfer case, 03 KJ Sport

    Let me preface this by saying that I'm not much of a car guy, more due to lack of time than interest. I've had a very slow leak (a few drips a day) for a while now (don't ask) from an unknown source near the mid-center of my KJ. I originally thought it was coolant (it appeared to be either...

    Garmin Nuvi 350

    I thought about mounting my Garmin on the dash with the plastic disc, but I was deterred because doing so would keep me from opening the top of the dash. Upgrading the tweeters is on my KJ wish list, so I don't want to block access to the dash. I've also thought about running the Garmin cord...

    rear windshield wiper problems

    Let's just say that I park with the back end of my Jeep under a tree. The sparrows use it for target practice.

    rear windshield wiper problems

    The rear wiper blade is the one maintenance item I regularly buy at the dealer. It's closer than Pep Boys, anyway. I've been thinking about picking one up soon. I think they charge about $13 (that's the part that sucks).

    GPS?

    I have a Garmin, and it's awesome. Last summer I took my family to Disney World via car from Chicago. I refused to print ANY directions, and my wife thought I was nuts. The Garmin got us from our front door to the lobby of our hotel at Disney without a single problem. I was even able to use...

    Replacing Steering wheel

    I've often wondered if that can be done as an add-on. My 2003 doesn't have steering wheel controls, and I would love to have them. Of course, I changed the HU to an after market unit, so that would probably complicate things a bit.

    Yet another EVIC question

    My understanding is that instant MPG disappeared after 2002, so no, a 2003 EVIC would not give you instant MPG. The 2003 GC EVIC I just installed does not have instant MPG. But, if you watch the Average MPG for a few minutes, you'll see that it's always changing based on conditions. And if...

    What does everybody pay for their fuel

    Prices in my area are running about $2.49/$2.59/$2.69 for 87/89/93 octane. I only use the cheapest regular I can find.

    Has anyone added reverse glow gauges?

    If so, how difficult is this project? And do I risk damaging any sensitive components in my gauge cluster? http://procarparts.stores.yahoo.net/jeli02euregl.html

    Problem with my EVIC

    Thanks, Craig. I'll check the power connections and then post again. And I have double-checked to make sure I'm setting things correctly. I start the Jeep, make the changes, drive to my destination, and then check them before I exit to confirm they're still set. When I get back to the...
