    Cabin Fan Control Speed only at 4

    I did this replacement a few years ago. The resistor was shot and it only worked on setting 4. Took all of 5 minutes.

    P2097...Scan Tools are Fun

    For the rear? This is the one on top of the rear differential, I did try a small flathead but felt it was bending the plastic to much.

    stock scissor jack quick question

    To me the jack provided should only be used for emergencies like a flat tire, otherwise I'll stick to my 3 ton jack and stands for anything else.

    P2097...Scan Tools are Fun

    Yeah the locking tab comes out easily enough but pushing down on the connector does not allow it to slide making me feel as if I may break it. I'm wondering if the smart thing to do is remove the sensor then disconnect. I cancelled my order from RA and went with Amazon, RA had not even...

    P2097...Scan Tools are Fun

    Thanks for all the input everyone. I truly did not mean to come off rude in that reply, was just excited to finally have a way to at least identify what the heck the light could be on for understanding that 2097 could be a lot of things. For $25 it's worth to replace that sensor and see what...

    P2097...Scan Tools are Fun

    NTK, yeah I didn't need a very pricey one but this at least gives me an idea of what I'm potentially dealing with (i.e. leave it home to fix or drive it). Also lets me clear the codes as it could be a fault from running rich or whatever. Figured for the cost just replace all 4. Also for the ABS...

    UGH!!! Broke Down Again

    My wife got her 2005 new before we met and it's up to 170k now. It's the reason I've been able to collect new gadgets and goodies for my DIY mechanic tools. Just picked up a scan tool and a brake caliper piston tool as well. I plan to keep it going for as long as I can, not having a car payment...

    P2097...Scan Tools are Fun

    Yesterday my wife's ABS, Brake, and CEL went off. Car is driving fine however. So I went an invested in a scan tool, was able to get $10 off plus 20% plus my $5 coupon from Advance Auto so worth the purchase. The ABS is the rear sensor, this is the second time it has gone off after trying to...

    Front Brake Recommendations

    Ordered the Powerstop KOE2160 kit with rotors and ceramic pads. $92 from Amazon, also picked up a paddle style hand crank caliper tool that will make the process a little easier than using a C-clamp. Can't beat free 2-day shipping and a quick project for this weekend. Excited to get the garbage...

    Front Brake Recommendations

    I've gotten about 30k out of this set from Autozone, funny you stated that mileage. They felt cheap from day 1 as I said with very little bite and they warm up and fade quick. Always feel like I'm having to stomp the pedal to stop the car. Akebono, added to the comparison bank.

    Front Brake Recommendations

    I had EBC years ago on a different car and was not impressed. I always did well with Hawk HPS pads and powerslot rotors but again different kind of car. I was tempted to go with Centric but there are A LOT of options on rotor type. I'm not looking for slotted or drilled but a nice blank whether...

    Front Brake Recommendations

    I am going to do the fronts before we take our yearly summer trip, pads and rotors. I had my expectations blown away when I did my dads 02 JGC Laredo with Brembo blanks and new pads but cannot seem to find anyone who carries the model/part for the Liberty. That being said, what are some...

    Rear Spring Clunk after install?

    I did the rocking as did a bigger buddy of mine, not a peep. So I keep going back to the strut, maybe I can get under there tonight and check. I torqued to 85ftlbs. initially.

    Rear Spring Clunk after install?

    Understood on all points. The shocks are KYB, maybe I'll start with the tightening and give it a quick drive. No sense in dumping money if it's not needed, just saved hundreds doing the coil packs, plugs, and a new PCV valve on my GLI.

    Rear Spring Clunk after install?

    What metal bends? That may confuse me a bit as the whole unit is $480 vs. $50 for each bushing plus $100 for the ball joint.

    Rear Spring Clunk after install?

    So the question is should I just replace bushings and the joint or start with bushings. Driving around a little more it doesn't seem to happen when I hit a bump with the right side of the car, more prominent with the left.

    Rear Spring Clunk after install?

    Diagnosed to the bushing on the "boomerang". I'll call it that for now but its the V-arm that sits over the differential and has one bolt holding it up. I'll be replacing it this week.

    Rear Spring Clunk after install?

    So I guess I should re-torque. I believe it was 85ftlbs.

    Rear Spring Clunk after install?

    I replaced the struts with KYB and a set of springs (can't recall if they are Moog or Mopar). What I've noticed is that on certain bumps and bounds along the road is a clunk from the rear. It almost sounds like the spring is contacting metal instead of the rubber isolators. Install was...
