    02 kj sucks in rain

    Do you have a limited slip differential in the rear? They may break loose easier on hard turns in slick conditions. Mark

    Gas filler splashing back

    I don't think it matters where the non-working valve is as long as the one that does work (GM) is above it and stops the gas. Mark

    Gas filler splashing back

    I know the hose is too short for a KJ. I have just read a few that made it work on a KJ by cutting the GM valve out of the GM hose and placing it up into the KJ hose. I will let you know how it turns out. Mark

    2005 Renegade 2" Rack Rails

    Actually I checked and you can position the ski racks over the top of the inside screw for security. Though, to tell you the truth I never worry about it. I have never locked a ski carrier in my life and never had a problem. It's not like we ski on new high performance equipment every year...

    Gas filler splashing back

    I could prob do that but not my wife, daughter, boy friends, gas station attendants when I am over in Jersey.... Just too much to go wrong. Can't depend on people being careful and calculating right. And if anyone gets it wrong the downside is too dangerous. Dealing with gas is nothing I...

    Gas filler splashing back

    I am looking for a real solution. Your slowing down the pump when you THINK it's close is not a sure enough thing for me. My daughter is driving it - makes me a nervous dad. I put my ear down and could tell when the gas entered the pipe from that sound we all recognize and stopped it...

    Gas filler splashing back

    I know it's been talked about but it seems like there is no consensus. One person bought a GM filler and cut out the valve to place in the Jeep pipe. I would like to see several say this fixes it before going to the expense and trouble. Sorry to beat a dead horse (deadhorse) but our (new to...

    F'n furiouus at Jiffy lube.

    I am in the same line of business and I too have had to grab cellphone shots of existing damage to protect myself and the company I work for. Especially true when the EU is unhappy about warranty coverage. Unfortunately it's the world we live in. Mark

    Brake light keeps going out :(

    Unhook the camera wire from the backup wire and run for a while. Maybe the camera is causing it? Mark

    New used Jeep owner

    New to Jeep but not to 4x4. Got a 2005 Liberty Renegade for my daughter to drive. Learning all about it. Hoping to get her off road a little but finding any place around here is next to impossible. Mark

    This Damn Snow!

    Had some hack at the tire dealer thought he would be smart and use a dremel cut-off wheel to remove a stuck metal stem cap. He got the cap off alright but sliced into the stem and now you cannot fill the tire because the air goes out the side hole he made. Of course it's an expensive TPMS...

    Heater problems, PLEASE HELP!

    Heater core is just a small radiator. It RADIATEs heat into the airstream going through the heater. Otherwise you would have no heat. Of course one hose is going to be measurably cooler than the other when it is working right. Not sure exactly how much...point is: measure temp on a working...

    Took the speed bump a bit too fast...

    Usually shaking is balancing, not normally alignment. I would have it checked. Did you also look under the hood for anything out of place or evidence of the fan hitting the radiator? Also check the top for a wrinkle showing that the unibody was bent from the landing (ask me how I know about...

    P2311 DTC....need input.

    Well, if it is a bad coil causing the components inside the PCM to fail, then don't get a new PCM until you change the bad coil as well. Mark

    the beloved parking brake...

    Mine were all seized when I got it. Took them apart and removed those top parts which were stuck together. Sprayed WD40 and pried them apart. Shined them up on the wire wheel and re-lubed, re-installed, etc they now work great. No need to remove axle at all. Only problem is getting the...

    03 Jeep Liberty rattling noise

    Simple, does it make the noise while sitting still? Not the drive shaft. Check the Cat and muffler to make sure the insides aren't loose. Mark

    2005 Renegade 2" Rack Rails

    One could also turn the same clamp sideways to attach a basket between the racks. Mark
