    Jeep Panda (Patriot/Compass Replacement)

    Look at the date on the link. As it turns out the head of Fiat is smarter than that.

    A couple CRD issues

    That's not everything. The electrical noise (and other battery failures) comes from the lead plates flaking and shorting out a cell or 2. The right way to check a battery is to charge it up (you already did) and pop the caps off and check each cell with a hydrometer. Since it may not be...

    noise when wheels spin in gravel or snow????

    X2 It also happens when I get the "live axle hop" going around turns on washboard roads. Sometimes it takes away throttle when you need it the most, so I will turn the ESP off if I anticipate that. I wonder how many times it gets reported as a driveability problem to a clueless service advisor.

    Knocking, power loss, flashing CEL...f**k

    That makes sense, especially with the one noise he describes. But I fear that the milkshake oil will cause shear failure.

    Knocking, power loss, flashing CEL...f**k

    milkshake oil and noises almost guarantee crank work with headgasket. If the rod bearings haven't spun yet, they will.

    She's getting an oil change

    Past couple of times I walked in to Advance Auto they had 5 qts. Mobil 1 and a Mobil 1 filter for $29.99. As for conventional oil practically every name brand will work. Buy what's on sale that week. Even store brands will work. When I worked at a Pep Boys in the early 90's their store...

    A couple CRD issues

    What if the HIDs were spiking the ground somehow? I say that because electrical noise from a failing battery will cause mis-diagnosed dashboard, BCM and PCM problems on Chrysler vehicles, so your HIDs might be making the electrical noise. The BCM and PCM switches stuff off on the ground side...

    Engine Shut off and oil light came on???

    06 has a throttle cable. Doesn't the IAC bring up the engine speed for the PS pressure? As for the PS, (feel free to correct me if I am wrong) the pressure builds up because there is no place for the fluid to go and the failure comes from the fluid heating up. I believe it foams up the fluid...

    She's getting an oil change

    Forget about the 10w40, stick with 5w30. It's printed on your filler cap along with the API requirement. http://www.api.org/aboutoilgas/motoroil/ All the oil really has to do is meet the API requirement. Conventional, synthetic, blends, cheap, whatever. Everything else is personal...

    From July 2006 to November 2008 over 64K miles, 18.22 mpg average overall. A low of 15.29, a high of 23.66, not bad.

    Esurance

    Companies I will not deal with - Erie, State Farm, Allstate, Geico. I have Progressive now. The one and only time I made a claim with them, it worked out great. Repair work, rental, everything. Erie - Have you had 3 claims for any reason? Erie will drop you after that. Regardless of...

    Need hitch

    I stuff my 4 wire harness up in the hollow portion of the hitch to hide it. I use the hitch for a bike rack so I have yet to use the harness.

    Need hitch

    I did a Hidden Hitch on mine in about 10 minutes. 6 bolts straight up with a battery powered impact gun. 7 wire harness is for trailer brakes. If you need that then you should consider the factory hitch package for the engine driven fan to get the increased cooling.

    Liberty wouldn’t start

    The bump will do it. The plates are flaking apart and debris gets lodged between 2 plates causing a short.
