    Ball joint replacement cost?

    With 155,000 miles on it, the front end of my '02 is getting a little squirrely. I need a front end alignment because I can see that the inside edges of the front tires are wearing faster than the rest. Also if on the highway at speed, say 70, and I hit the brakes, I can feel some wobble in the...

    Possible Recall 2002-2007?

    I think a roof mounted GE mini-gun would be just about right.

    Hood lift supports

    Yeah, I agree. I have very little money tied up in these asian ones, so am not terribly concerned. If they give up in a year or two, I will look for the US-made ones, but given the costs of manufacturing here, I wonder how good such inexpensive items are likely to be.

    Hood lift supports

    Wish I had found those before ordering my spiffy chinese ones. OTOH, looking at the pictures of the Strong Arm ones, they look eerily like the chinese ones. I wonder if the chinese are THAT good at copying or if those are really US made.

    HOW TO: Front Bumper Mounted Driving Lights

    Excellent write-up! There is also a spot in the firewall where you can sneak the wires through with some other stuff passing through. It has been a while, but I want to say it is below the master cylinder.

    Torque converter

    I recall reading somewhere years ago (wish I could recall where!) that around 62 was when it was supposed to lock up. I kid you not. Since reading that, I often will try to notice when it happens on my 2002. It is usually right around there. So, I think yours is behaving as designed.

    Rear Gate -Glass Lift Shocks

    Yeah, I didn't feel like I was risking a whole lot. They work great, though. I can hit the rear window button on the remote as I approach and it pops right open.

    Rear Gate -Glass Lift Shocks

    These are what I got and installed. I did not know they were chinese until I got the tracking info. We'll see if they last. I probably would have selected some other brand, if I had realized. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LCBK6CS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hood...

    Rear Gate -Glass Lift Shocks

    Thanks again to all of you who posted in this very helpful thread. Today, I installed the new cylinders on both my lift glass and the hood. Squirted a little white lithium grease in the socket holes before snapping them in place. What a breeze of a task. And holy cow, you guys were not...

    Rear Gate -Glass Lift Shocks

    Just got some new cylinders for my lift glass and hood, too! Thank you to all who pointed out how to deal with the little clip on the rear ones. Do ones on the hood use the same retention system?

    Selec-trac question

    I agree with Bob. In short, the position of the transfer case control lever does not in any way affect front or rear wheel differential function.

    Whoa! The guys local to me have the hitches in stock, or so they say.

    Free Recall Hitch question

    Thank you so much for all of the replies, everyone! I will have them put on the hitch and then attempt the harness myself. Should I stick with the Mopar harness, or is there something easier or better?
