Loud noise from front bottom of engine
Rod Knock, possibly spun bearing. I had a car that was normal at idle and coasting, but under load (going uphill, acceleration at a stoplight) it would knock in time with RPM. Started out barely noticable, but within a week it was loud even at idle. Used this trick to narrow down what...- mrlavalamp

I have always stuffed big rags or towels in the hole. Just make sure whatever you use is big enough that it wont end up in the pan itself.- mrlavalamp

What Spring Compressor for Front Springs
This is long, so look for the TLDR if you dont want to read, but I want to share my story because I am a very persistent DIY advocate (stubborn even). When I did my lift a few months ago, I was 100% in the mindset "let those rich guys waste their money at the shops, I can buy a spring...- mrlavalamp

any way to make my electric fan work better?
The Hayden 2905 is the Severe duty. My parts store found it listed under the CRD liberty. Hayden 2736 is the Heavy Duty, and was listed as the only option for the v6 3.7. I believe the difference is that the 2905 severe duty clutch activates (tightens up?) at a lower temp vs. the 2736...- mrlavalamp

All Aluminum Radiators
This forum is dangerous for my wallet. Going to see how my radiator holds up before I pickup a mopar/all aluminum. I am definitely leaning mopar if this one doesn't work out, but if the price on the all aluminum drops below 200 I may give it a shot. Before I started reading posts both here...- mrlavalamp

All Aluminum Radiators
Thank you all for the replies. The Radiator I put in is a Spectra Premium. Has a 2 year warranty as well, but I did not see anything specifying its pressure rating (12 or 16psi). Just the usual marketing tagline "OE design to ensure exact fit, form and function for an easy drop-in...- mrlavalamp

All Aluminum Radiators
Wondering if anyone has tried out these all aluminum radiators I found on ebay? Searching yielded little to nothing relating to all aluminum rads, other than folks stating they don't exist for the KJ. Made by GPI Racing, this listing includes a fan, but I would probably just keep mine as...- mrlavalamp
