    Engine Block Drain plug?

    I had a dream last night a mechanic flushed my coolant and replaced it with non-HOAT. Woke up in a cold sweat....

    Transmission temp warning

    I would have thought keeping the transmission in the high rev range would cause it to overheat? Or do I have it backwards?

    Transmission temp warning

    Ive had my transmission temp light come on once. I was driving through sand dunes at high revs for an extended period. I stopped, let it cool then I was on my way again with no warning light. I changed the transmission fluid soon after. It looked pretty burnt and nasty, so id recommend changing...

    ABS light on after steering rack rebuild

    When I replaced the rear wheel speed sensor on my Jeep, the Brake light went off but the ABS light stayed on. I took it for a drive and the ABS light disappeared.

    Bleeding 3.7 cooling system

    An effective method I use is once you have replaced the fluid, start the engine and loosen the bleeder valve so that a small amount of coolant and air bubbles start bubbling out. Keep doing this until no more air bubbles come out.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    2003 KJ, loose upper control arm bolts?

    2003 KJ, loose upper control arm bolts?

    2003 KJ, loose upper control arm bolts?

    Might be a silly question, but have you checked the ball joints with those control arms? My UCA's made a terrible rattle over bumps. I replaced the UCA's with better ones that are suited to my lifted Jeep and the rattle stopped. It wasn't until the tyre was off and the Jeep was off the ground...

    2003 KJ, loose upper control arm bolts?

    Wow those are some seriously compressed springs! I wouldn't be taking that anywhere near an off road track (not that your lad goes off road, but still, its a Jeep!) Even cornering would be rough with those springs, id imagine?

    Does anyone know the book time to replace a E-brake

    It took me about 2 hours to do mine. It was a real PIA but shouldn't take longer than 2 hours or so, especially in a shop that has access to better tools than I have.. edit; this is assuming theyre only replacing the brake drum parts, not the whole cable setup as well.

    Adding a true water temperature gauge?

    I plugged in the OBD2 scanner as I was driving and the scanner showed a coolant temp of 97 degrees Celsius or 208F. This was just normal driving conditions around town with the A/C on. I have the HD Towing package as well. It surprised me a bit because 97 degrees Celsius is very close to 100...

    How Often Do You Inspect The Butterfly?

    Ive cleaned mine twice in the past 18mths. Both times it was very dirty. I drive on dirt roads fairly often so the dust gets all up in there and everywhere else.

    Adding a true water temperature gauge?

    My Jeep gets hot on occasion. Typically, it will be in situations where I'm stuck in 3rd gear for longer periods of time, for example, maintaining speed up a long incline or when driving on sand and the Jeep stays in the 3000+ RPM range for longer. The temp gauge will move past the halfway and...

    2003 KJ, loose upper control arm bolts?

    Sounds like a blown shock absorber to me.

    Another recall

    Does this apply worldwide or just in the USA? I only replaced mine about 6 months ago with Moog Problem Solvers.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Haha yea, the forecast predicted less than 1mm of rain in my town, but this was about 2 hours north of home, so i figured id be ok. The storm lasted maybe 20 minutes. Normally i sleep in a swag but this time i just slept on a camp stretcher, so I was off the ground a bit (but with no...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Camped on a beach under the stars. It was lovely, until a storm rolled in around 4am and drenched me. As you can see, it was nice clear skies before i went to sleep. That'll teach me to sleep in the open! 61599[/ATTACH]"]
