    Synthetic vs. Dino Gear Oil

    Thanks guys! I will probably switch back to Dino oil in the diffs this summer. Is there anything special switching back and forth between the two that should be done? I'll use a can or two of brakeleen, but just wondering if there is anything else I should do. Thanks!

    Synthetic vs. Dino Gear Oil

    Hi All- I have been wondering about the merits and drawbacks of synthetic gear oil in the front and rear differentials. I changed both of them myself to Mobil1 75-140 synthetic last summer, but have since read that synthetic gear oil may not be as heavy and may not protect the gears as well...

    Warm Idle stall Procedure?

    I remember reading somewhere but I can't find it now, how do you remove the IAC for cleaning? Do I remember reading that you need a Torx bit?

    Jeep seems to decelerate more quickly...??

    Hey y'all- So I'm not sure if this one is in my head or not, but it would seem as if my Jeep is decelerating more quickly than usual when coasting. In an attempt to drive more conservatively and use less fuel/braking, I have been letting it coast a lot when decelerating from highway speed...

    Tranny Fluid Interval

    I have an 06 3.7L Auto as well and my manual has a schedule A and a schedule B. Schedule A is for the heavier usage and Schedule B is for the regular street driving and mostly highways (read: not mostly stop and go city driving). I believe that you are correct in Schedule B saying 60K for the...

    Rear End Noise...

    I have the same whine in my 06 KJ with 37K miles, but I've had that whine for any speed above ~58 MPH since I can remember. Now I'm wondering if it's just a normal noise or something is wrong. Nothing seems wrong with it...guess I'll take care of it before my extended warranty expires.

    Dealer my -ss

    Just to give you some perspective, the PS pump on my 06 KJ also just went bad. Had the KJ at the dealer to fix a broken window regulator under my extended warranty and I asked them to check the steering/suspension as it was making some funky groaning noises, but didn't seem like driveline...

    Wheel Alignment?

    Hey All- Just wondering if you guys ever get a wheel alignment done on your KJs. Never had one done on this vehicle before. I noticed it pulls ever so slightly to the left on the highway but there's no abnormal wear on the tires and I rotate them often enough anyway.

    When do you change your Tranny/T-Case fluid?

    Ok so I've been doing a lot of reading and I just don't think I have the time/tools/patience to DIY this time. Found a dealer in Nashville and they want $180 to do the Trans Flush and not drop the pan and change the filter, though they said they would if I asked them to. I also need to do a...

    When do you change your Tranny/T-Case fluid?

    Hey All- Just wondering when everyone changed their Tranny & T-case fluid for the first time? My KJ is a 2006 and just four years old last month with about 33K miles on it. No off-roading or hard driving really, just a 50/50 split of highway and local driving. I recall the maintenance...

    Blower Fan Switch Acting Funny...

    Yeah, that looks like the problem. Took apart the climate control housing and rebuilt, all the switches are working so looks like I need to take a trip to a dealer. Thanks for the link!

    Blower Fan Switch Acting Funny...

    Greetings Sports Fans- Didn't realize how long it's been since I've posted. My blower motor fan switch is acting funky. In all blower modes, the motor remains off when the fan switch is on 1, 2, or 3. The motor only activates when the switch is in the 4 position and runs at its highest...

    Platinum Plugs - How long until next change?

    Hope you didn't misread what I wrote TJ - I already changed the stock NGK's to the Bosch +2's, so I am thinking it won't need the induction system cleaning now, but I will change to another set of platinums after another 30K and then do the induction system cleaning then. I tend to be more...

    Platinum Plugs - How long until next change?

    Thanks for the explanation guys. No ignition issues or anything right now since the engine is still pretty young, so methink another 30K and I will do the induction system cleaning and then change the plugs. Thanks a lot guys!

    Platinum Plugs - How long until next change?

    Hey TJ, can you elaborate on the induction system cleaning? What's involved in that? I've not heard that particular term thrown out there before...

    Platinum Plugs - How long until next change?

    Hey guys, just curious what you guys are thinking. I changed over from the stock NGK plugs to the Bosch Double-Tip platinums today and I'm wondering what the interval should be until the next plug change - if ever. Only had 22K on the truck anyway so it's not like it really needed it and the...

    CEL Code P0138

    Thanks for the advice guys, I will call the a local dealer on Monday and make an appointment for my day off. (On a side note, can anybody recommend a local Atlanta dealer? Otherwise I'll just pick a 5-star dealer from the website.) The part/problem should be covered by my original 3/36...

    CEL Code P0138

    Hey Guys- So I was driving the KJ this afternoon doing some errands locally and for no reason that I can detect, my CEL came on. The engine didn't stumble, I couldn't feel any misfiring, and she is idling and performing perfectly normal. I only noticed it when I went to take my foot off the...
