    What type of Engine do I have?

    The intake manifold is plastic, the valve covers are metal, pressed steel by the look of them.

    anyone else had this problem with noise?

    The mechanical fan has a viscous coupling that limits it's maximum speed, but it's always running. Once the air reaching the coupling gets to a predetermined temperature, a bi-metallic device locks the coupling and it can reach a higher speed. The electric fan is controlled by the engine...

    Error 1491

    I don't know how you managed to swap the relay, the parts book only shows one of this type of solid state relay in the vehicle, until 2005 when it was changed to a standard mechanical relay. I got the P1491 and it turned out to be a bad connection on the blue/pink 12volt feed to the relay...

    HOW TO: Program a new keyless entry/alarm remote

    Didn't work for me, no chime sounded after 3 seconds. The new remote worked, but then both of my original remotes wouldn't work any more. I got a chime after about 20 seconds.

    another dead battery

    The OEM batteries on both my Libbys are black on the indicator and both are working fine, I'm just expecting then to die at any moment, but who knows.

    weird noise

    I had this happen to me yesterday,but it sounded like rubber suspension bushes creaking, so maybe it's something else. Getting the suspension to move by accelerating and braking would reproduce the noise, but after about 5 minutes it went away. You can spray silicon lubricant on the suspension...

    Problem with my EVIC

    I had the exact same thing happen to me, wouldn't go away till I shut down and restarted. I also loose the setting for open all doors, it reverts back to open drivers door 1st after about one day. It remembers al the other settings, and I know it has constant power because the display lights up...

    Has my KJ gone absolutely insane?

    I'm still on the OEM 2002 battery, a friends 05 lasted 3 years.

    3.7 engine / year to year

    My 02, and a friends 05, have different intakes, but it may just be the plastic box on top of the maniifold which is absent on the 05, rather than the manifold itself. Also I have noticed that parts sellers list the fan belt as different for 02-03 to 03-05, don't know what this is about.

    Blower Control Resistor Block failure rate

    For me, using a resistor to control motor speed is both inefficient and primitive. They should use a decent motor.

    Engine block coolant drain

    I've got some stuff made by Auto Care or something similar from Sam's Club. It says it's the new type, long life (5 years or 150,000 miles), biodegradable, red in colour. Can be mixed with Chrysler coolant, but not the old green standard stuff. Will this be OK?

    Engine block coolant drain

    But how do you reach these 2 drain plugs? Especially the passenger side which is almost completely blocked by the front diff.

    Engine block coolant drain

    Is this drain plug some kind of sick joke? I can't even see the thing let alone remove it. I don't suppose too much coolant gets left behind if I don't bother draining the block. The FSM procedure has a picture of it, although it doesn't say which side of the engine it's on. It also doesn't...

    EBC brake pads

    I knew they had a good reputation. I am actually from the UK and the pads are made in my home town, even though I bought them in the US. I've done as the instructions say on the box and used them gently up to now. I'll give that procedure of braking from 60 to 10mph 5 or 6 times tomorrow...

    EBC brake pads

    Anybody tried using EBC brake pads? I got some 7000 series SUV supreme pads for the front. Supposedly they are designed not to squeal or vibrate, but they are shocking. Squeal like a pig, even after 600 miles of use and this is with copper grease between the caliper and pads. Make all kinds...

    ABS issues? Anyone Else?

    That's probably just the brake pads.

    OBD II for Labtop?

    The thing I like about the Auterra is that it will connect to just about any vehicle, all protocols are included. Supposedly the software inside the interface can also be upgraded if a new protocol comes along. It does all the graphing and recording of sensor data.

    Oh man! I'm getting tired of this!

    The part no. for 2002/2003 is 52100402AF From 2004 on the filter is not serviceable and combined in the fuel pump. I found this, but how would it work if it only has two lines? http://www.thepartsbin.com/catalog/?N=1557+10856+4294967260+9293
