    Stealership Story with a twist...

    I thought I would post this story in case there are any fellow Long Island KJ owners that deal with the really poor quality dealerships on LI. I posted on here several months ago that after connecting my Mopar iPod kit to the back of my RBQ radio that the CD changer no longer worked. Since...

    Check your spark plugs

    My KJ only has a little over 14K on her, but from what I've been reading, changing the spark plugs up to some bosch double platinums would make a decent difference in MPG's. Do you think it would be worth it to change them this soon? I think I can change them on my own, I just changed a set of...

    How long can a kj stand around?

    Fuel Stabilizer Question for you guys in the know - is fuel stabilizer really necessary for 87 octane gas? My KJ has been sitting for two weeks at home in the driveway with a relatively full tank. I have left it for up to 3 weeks before without starting it up and each time it has been just...

    TPMS Light & EVIC Message

    Hi All- So it's been a long time since I had a KJ question (probably because mine has been so reliable). This morning while on the highway (speeds variably from 55 to 85) I got the TPMS indicator light flashing which accompanied an EVIC message saying "CHECK TPMS SYS". I cleared the message...

    Does your Libby...

    Cool so it's sounding more and more like these are just standard jeep quirks and I should stop whining about them. Good point about the upper ball joints, I will have them checked the next time I bring it to the shop for mx.

    Does your Libby...

    I guess "spirited" is an appropriate term :-) I am coming from a 4 cyl camry, though I don't throw that one around very much because it's oooooold. I do drive the jeep a bit more aggressively (in metro New York, you have to) but nothing I would say is excessive. Generally keep the RPM's...

    Does your Libby...

    ESP, now that has to be it. I never used to notice it very much, but I thought it has been more pronounced recently. Though I've also been driving a lot more lately, went from 6500 to 11K miles since mid-October. Thanks Marlon, at least I don't have to worry that there's something wrong with...

    Does your Libby...

    Hey All- I've got a few "Does your Libby" questions. I just passed 11K and I wanted to double check that some of the things I am noticing while driving the Libby aren't actual problems. So here goes, does your libby... 1) make a loud bumping noise when the rear axle goes over a large...

    TPMS...Tire Pressure Monitor

    I bought a second set of the 17 inch 6-spoke limited wheels and bought 4 new TPMS sensors before mounting a set of Blizzaks on them. Haven't heard a peep out of the TPMS system at all. That either means the KJ TPMS is ultra smart and knew the new sensors or my TPMS is not working :-) On a...

    Need Advice - 17" Snow Tires & TPMS

    I figured the EVIC would go crazy without having sensors in the wheels. Where would be the best place to get additional TPMS magnets for the 06 system? I'll need 4 since I am buying 4 new wheels. I'm also trying to avoid the stealerships on Long Island, they are pretty bad...

    Need Advice - 17" Snow Tires & TPMS

    Hi Guys- I posted a thread on here a while back about buying a second set of the 17" wheels that came with the limited for use with snow/winter tires. I know most of you advised to switch to steel rims or 16's, but I just couldn't part with the look of the 17's year round, it really goes...

    Air Filter Contributing To Low RPMs at Idle?

    I would also think that your RPM's are fine. Depending on how much mileage you have (if it's high), it probably is a good idea to change the air filter & run a bottle of Techron through the fuel system. Both are relatively cheap to do and will help with your performance as well. I highly...

    How to tell if you have the TPMS

    This is an interesting question that I've been wondering about since I got my KJ last year...so being a limited (and also having the "chrome" valve stems), it definitely has TPMS. I thought I had TPMS because last year the EVIC showed a warning message that my spare was low pressure. A quick...

    Air Filter Contributing To Low RPMs at Idle?

    My 06 3.7L always idles around 600 RPM once warmed up. I wouldn't think there's anything abnormal there. Was the vehicle vibrating or showing signs of stalling? If so, then you might have something to worry about, but if it was just idling low but running alright, then I would think you're fine.

    New Owner: Random Questions

    I've been using 5 quarts of Mobil1 5W-30 synthetic and a purolator pureone filter for my last two oil changes and everything's been great, no problems. I usually change the oil every 6 months or so, in preparation for winter in October and then in preparation for summer in April. I've been...

    Reliable site to buy Jeep OEM Wheels

    Hi everyone- It's been a while since I posted last. I have the 2006 KJ Limited with the 17" charcoal-spoke wheels. I was thinking about getting another (possibly identical) set of wheels in order to mount a set of winter tires on it for the winter season while keeping the original wheels &...

    RBQ Radio - IPod Kit/CD Changer Problem

    Hello all- My KJ has the RBQ radio from the factory, no Sirius add-on or external CD changer, just the in-dash 6 CD changer. About two months ago I installed the Mopar Ipod integration kit and it really works great, especially with the steering wheel controls. However, since then, I have...

    Radio Trim Panel

    Hi all- Saw the thread on the instrument cluster trim panel and figured I'd ask if anyone has pictures of the trim panel around the radio removed, perhaps even showing me where the clips are? I read the how-to on removing the factory stereo and the diagram is good, but pictures would be...

    Wiring Diagram for RBQ Stereo?

    Hey all- I just ordered the Mopar Ipod Integration kit from JParts (thanks to all on the parts thread for your input!) and I am wondering if anyone knows of or has a wiring diagram or a picture of the back of the RBQ radio. This is the AM/FM/6CD-in-dash changer that comes with the Infinity...

    Where do you order Mopar stuff from online?

    Hey all- Just curious as to where people get their Mopar parts from online. I am getting ready to order an iPod integration kit and there are a few sites that I have browsed with decent prices, but I want to know if anyone else has ordered from them. Anyone ever ordered from JParts.com?
