    Glad My KJ Is Old-Fashioned

    Gotta love the new technology that senses when the key is close to the car when you touch a door handle. Just repeat and amplify this signal and the door is unlocked. Better wrap your key fobs in aluminum foil when you are home. Or maybe this will help create a resurgence of the old tin box...

    These pistons look normal?

    What do you mean by "the intake"? Where exactly was this 1.5qt of oil and water? Oil in the intake could cause that buildup in the combustion chamber I suppose... Need to know where exactly 1.5qts of anything can hide in the intake? Did you perhaps mean in the airbox holding the air filter?

    Jeep not starting....HELP!

    Get a mirror and check that cam sensor. I have had them not go all the way in and then sit cockeyed when you tighten the bolt. They sometimes cause a no start condition but usually they throw a code. I would still check how it's sitting with a mirror.

    The Wrangler Wave?

    Only time I have ever waved at someone who didn't wave first is on a motorcycle.

    Fasteners

    Yup, harbor freight tool works for attaching the flare to the inner fender. Comes with assortment. The plastic piece that holds the flare to the body are different but available from Amazon for about a buck apiece.

    Liberty plastic takes out Sorento

    That valve stem transmits the PSI to my EVIC. It's far from cheap and it is working fine. The other car's tire brushed against it. Just a cheapo grey plastic cap to keep dirt out.

    Parking brake won't hold

    Bike shops have a cable oiler that clamps over the cable where it runs into the housing. You clamp it down tight for a good seal and there is a tiny hole where you poke that plastic pipe from a WD-40 or other penetrating oil can. Push the button and (the red pipe flies off the can and sprays...

    Liberty plastic takes out Sorento

    Daughter got hit by a Kia Sorento. Fender flare on Liberty was hanging from one rivet. Kia was a little worse. There was absolutely no damage to the Liberty - sheet metal wasn't even touched. I have the new flare hold down clips on order for $7. They just sheared off. Oh yeah, It also took...

    How much does a roof rack kill MPG?

    I doubt you would be able to calculate any difference in anything larger than a bicycle.

    Big 3 upgrade.

    Rather than replace or add cables I would augment the crimp (I hate crimps) by soldering.

    '04 Stalled twice today, 4 codes thrown - crank and cam sensors but I just replaced

    On mine it was 3/32" max from one side to the other. Made it throw a 340 until I straightened it out. I actually swapped it out twice thinking I had gotten a bad one.

    Gas filler splashing back

    I think I would pull the inner fender (don't even have to remove the tire) and see if your hose got kinked. Might be an easy fix.

    '04 Stalled twice today, 4 codes thrown - crank and cam sensors but I just replaced

    I don't care who made the sensors (I am using a autozone camshaft sensor that works fine) but the chances of both of them going out at the same time are astronomical. I would bet money against that being the problem. One problem I DO remember having is the new camshaft sensor did not want to...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Is that T-PMS? We just leave our ski racks on through fishing season. It clamps them down and holds them tight.

    the beloved parking brake...

    Mine were making a terrible squeeking noise shortly after we bought it. Parts 3 & 4 were seized. I soaked them a bit and broke them loose. Cleaned off rust and grime on the wire wheel and reassembled with high temp brake grease. Yes the cable attachment holds them on. Put new shoes on and...

    Gas filler splashing back

    Yes that is best, but the valve doesn't need to be. Just make sure it isn't backwards. I put mine just past the bend in the hose - see the other picture, it's under that middle clamp.
