    Battery Drain?

    Start by cleaning your battery terminal and posts. More than likely that's the problem.

    High Pitch Whistling...

    My girlfriend's '06 does it when under load, such as climbing a high at highway speeds. I never worried about it because it hasn't caused any drivability problems. My '03 has never made a peep. It's the good child.

    Positive Battery Cable

    Don't take what Advance says as gospel. I had one of their stores tell me my alternator was bad, when it was the battery. Check things over good yourself or take it to a good mechanic.

    Viper 5101 Remote Start Keyless Entry, Omega ChDL4-P

    I'll bet. Some of the old school installers still perfer to do it that way believe it or not.

    Vehicle shift!! HELP!!

    Interesting that they would make a bushing like that. I wonder what the design theory is behind it? I suspect the slots are there to allow for rotational movement of the control arm. If the bushing was completely solid as you suggest, they would probably be stiffer, or fail sooner, or both.

    rear glass question

    Yep. It's as simple as that. Just be sure you open the latching mechanism before closing the glass so you don't risk breaking it. BTW, I've driven my KJ for miles with the glass up. It's fine. It never hurt a thing. II've never had a problem with exhaust fumes either. And for some of...

    Rear Pinion Seal?

    If it's not pouring out, just check the oil level. Then check it in about a week or so. If it hasn't changed in a week's time, then check it every two weeks. Although Eric is right; if you're going to change the pinion seal, you might as well freshen up the whole axle; I wouldn't plan on a...

    Caliper bolt...

    I always loctite them with the blue stuff. I had a bolt come out of the brake caliper adapter plate on my 2001 Ford Taurus once. The exciter ring on the CV shaft wore half way through the head of the bolt. I'm lucky the bolt head didn't jam against it. I was traveling 75mph on the...

    Can I get a DIY rating on......

    Though I've never removed it on my Jeep, I've done others that were similar. I would say a 4 out of 10. Other than a 35mm hub nut socket, you'll just need basic hand tools.

    HEY check it

    I think $650 is a bit on the conservative side. My OME/Rancho lift cost about $800 shipped from All J Products. That was about a year and a half ago. I also had to spend another $40 for the Teraflex front bumpstop from TrailQuest.

    3.7 > crd

    3.7's are much more common, therefore there are more used parts to be found.

    Knuckle question

    I wouldn't buy that story. Something like a steering knuckle doesn't bend. It may crack or break, but it doesn't bend. It's iron, not steel.

    Mass Air

    Three months and no reply. I guess the answer is no. lol Do you supposed there's a design reason for not using a MAF system?

    Did you ever get the problem fixed?

    Welding KJ bumper

    As far as I know, it's ABS plastic as mentioned. One fix I've done on beater cars in the past is rivet the bumper back together. I drilled holes for the rivets on either side of the crack, spacing them apart evenly. Then take a piece of aluminum roof flashing and form it to the back side of...

    return line

    I beleive the lower line going into the trasmission is the return. Just trace it back to the cooler.

    Need some wiring/electrical help.

    First off, does your '07 Sport have fogs? Does the multifunction stock on the steering column indicate a fog light option? If so, I'd be willing to bet the wiring from your Sport, is the same as, or nearly the same as the Renegade.

    Stupid question..

    Do you have stock rims? I don't think you can put a hub cap on a stock steelie. It doesn't have any place for the hub cap to seat on, does it?

    Lots of steering feedback?

    Aka, bump-steer. There's not much you're going to do about it.

    Oil drain plug

    I just bought the same one to go in my transmission pan. The head is considerably bigger. In fact, I bet you'll strip the treads in the pan before you strip the head of the bolt. The only thing I don't care for is the gasket on it. I seems a bit cheesy to me. I wish it was molded on like the...
