    $34,000 for a KK?

    The depreciation of my KJ hit me hard in the wallet. If I bought another new Jeep, they would have to discount it way more than they already do. Smart money buys used cars. Or BMWs.

    How to fix a headlight...

    Bad bulb. One of the filaments is bad. When you tap on it, it made a connection and "arc welded" itself together. Change the pair and keep the one good one as an emergency replacement. And you might already know this, but handle the bulb with a glove or rag, fingerprint oil will make it fail...

    Satellite Radio Replacement?

    I pay about $142 a year, get 1 month free for that. I hear you can deal with Sirius, they want your business bad. I am trying that at renewal time.

    2007 Rain Stained Seats?

    Almost everybody that has fabric seats... If there is a certain year or type that doesn't spot up, I would like to know about it. You have to shampoo it again. I tried Scotchguard. It did not work. if you do a search here, it's been discussed before and there is a TSB for it.

    Napa or OEM?

    NAPA has worked well for me for other vehicles. Especially NAPA online. My KJ hasn't needed much yet but brake job is coming up.

    Tire rubbing the front of the inner fender

    I wonder if the bumper is pushed back. If your front end was bent that bad, it might not steer straight. Ride straight through a water puddle and check your tracks to see if it is "dog tracking". If so, something is bent or broken.

    Problems with my 2004 Liberty Sport

    Why not check the switches with a multi-meter? Also, could they be wet?

    P0455 code costs?

    That's about 12 mpg, easily obtainable with a KJ in city traffic or with bad driving habits. What a lot of people don't realize is - the throttle body opens up quicker than you think it is. It is not exactly linear with the gas pedal.

    Radiator Fan Not Coming On

    There is a relay. Most likely failure. Not familiar with the CRD... Is there an engine driven fan too? If not some vehicles have 2 electric fans, one for the normal cycling on/off while running another for the AC use.

    Lifespan of the stock battery

    Seeing KJ924's post, I am reminded that everybody's cars and batteries will be different. Anybody that works at a place that sells batteries probably replaces a lot under warranty. I know I did. Which leads me to believe that battery manufacturing is an inexact science. Ask anyone at Exide, lol!

    Lifespan of the stock battery

    Only way to check a battery is with a hydrometer after it is fully charged. That is if there are caps you can open. If you have an alarm, that is your drain. For some reason battery failures are rather sudden in modern cars. I do not believe that Optimas are superior. A friend of mine had 2...

    Purge Solenoid replacement cost

    It must not be "major" enough. EPA publication in 2002 - Warranty coverage varies depending on components and individual manufacturer warranty provisions. In most cases, however, responding sooner rather than later is likely to minimize the individual owner’s repair liability. The CAA...

    Purge Solenoid replacement cost

    Isn't that emissions equipment? Should be warranted for 8 years/80,000 miles. BTW that's not a Jeep thing. I know Honda and VW owners that have had the same problem.

    HVAC stuck (mostly) on defrost

    I think the AC compressor runs in every mode except face vents. Anybody but you been under the hood? Seems like a vacuum hose is pinched off.

    New Exhaust and Hood Louvers

    Is your Jeep 4X4? Do you go off road? If so, I would go with single exhaust. Pipe and muffler clearance is tight with a transfer case.
