    What is your average MPG (City) / (HIGHWAY)

    My auto computer on my dash says 19.7 average for my last tank when I was doing mostly highway driving. Since I've been driving around town it's been 19.2. It has an aero turbine muffler, other than this, no modifications (at least until today when I found out I'm getting a new transmission -.-)

    KJ Won't Go Into Gear...AGAIN!

    As it turns out, I'm getting a new transmission anyway--The pilot bearing in the current one exploded and took out the clutch, etc., something was mentioned about the crankshaft, and yes, it was the boot on the driveshaft they said had been gone a while, so there was all sorts of crap up in it...

    KJ Won't Go Into Gear...AGAIN!

    So I got the Jeep to the mechanic, and they made me REALLY happy...sarcasm fully intended here. The list: - New clutch. - Something from the front drive shaft has apparently been gone for some time and I didn't know about it thanks to zero symptoms, so I need a new front drive shaft. It also...

    KJ Won't Go Into Gear...AGAIN!

    So, let me first start off by saying that I just moved to Cobleskill last month, and it has proven a NIGHTMARE for cars in my family. First off, my parents' Ranger can no longer tow anything because the frame and part of the hitch rusted through. Then the day we were bringing furniture down...

    Got my new tire cover!

    Lol I don't know, I rather like AC--I don't have AC in my house or my new apartment so I rather liked the AC working in the Jeep, but so much for that idea. Got the regulator fixed though so at least I can put the windows down. The tire cover came from http://www.sparetirecovers.com/ --My...

    Got my new tire cover!

    So I haven't been on here in forever, but I thought I'd share the fact that I revamped my "YES, it's a stick" tire cover with my new business =D Ain't she a beauty?! Unfortunately the other beauty this one's strapped to has been a real pain lately, with the AC dying and now the regulator...

    Weird coincidence or did I mess something up?

    So today I ran the codes and got a P1686 No SKIM bus. None of the dash lights were on when I started her up to run the codes. I didn't clear them, I just disconnected the battery again, left it for a few minutes, reconnected it, tried to start her up, stalled out, then she started the second...

    Weird coincidence or did I mess something up?

    So I changed the spark plugs in my Liberty tonight, just like I've done before, had no problems, hooked everything back up, started her up, runs fine, drives fine...a few hours later, driving it back to my aunt's house: Air bag light, check engine light, oil pressure light, sentry key light...

    Jeep Pickup Truck Coming for 2012

    It would be awesome if they offered it as a v8--My parents are looking to buy a new truck within the next couple of years and my mother seemed surprisingly interested in this when I showed her the picture, but only if it can tow more than our little Ranger =D

    About to buy a Jeep Liberty.

    If you research any vehicle you're going to find some issues reported, and a lot of them are due to a lack of regular maintenance, imo. Granted I don't have an '05, but I know several people with them, and one of them is already pushing 100k with no problems to speak of. If you're really...

    Does Your Gas Station Charge for "Air" ?

    A lot of places here in Upstate NY charge for air, but I always go to Stewart's shops, which thankfully, do not xD

    AC Acting Up...

    Maybe he said it was the evaporator core leaking or the evaporator fan or something...all I remember is he said something about the evaporator...but yeah, this is why I am not a mechanic xD

    AC Acting Up...

    I talked to a colleague's son the other day at work (happens to be the head mechanic at one of the Chysler dealerships or something of the like =P), and he thinks it's not the compressor but the evaporator getting stuck...basically he told me it'll need to be drained, fixed, and recharged. But...

    AC Acting Up...

    Is this something that is going to cause engine damage if I don't fix it right away? (Assuming that's what it actually is, of course). It hasn't done it since that one day...

    AC Acting Up...

    The only way I can think to describe the smell is to say it smells like electric heaters when they first come on after a summer of not being on...only not as long lasting of a smell. This is the first time it's done it, so it could have just been a freak thing, maybe, but I'm pretty sure it's...

    AC Acting Up...

    So today, driving home, my AC was ice cold, as usual, but I noticed there was a funny smell. It went away, so I thought it was something in the area I was driving through, but a few miles later my AC warmed up for no reason. It stayed this way for about 10 miles, almost blowing warm air but...

    2002 Jeep Liberty

    I bought my '02 with 87k on her and she's now at 130k and still running strong. Ditto on the regular maintenance to keep her running good. Only problems you might find are minor electrical issues that are easy to fix (or maybe my KJ is just infested with gremlins...) Either way, they're good...
