    When do you change your Tranny/T-Case fluid?

    T-case is SUPER easy to do, assuming the dealer didn't torque the sh*t out of the drain and fill plugs. There's a how-to video kicking around here somewhere. I have my trans fluid done at the dealer.

    having diff fluids changed got???s

    Hate to beat a dead horse, but... ...I had the same question. The difference is that I already serviced the front and rear diffs. My build sheet does NOT say Trac-Lock anywhere on it, so I'm good with just 75w-140, right? I only did this 1K miles ago, so I could add the friction modifier if...

    Losing oil?

    Finally went to the dealership, little oil spots on driveway were making me nuts. Turns out it was a leaking crankshaft seal. $305 later, it's fixed. Essentially all labor cost too.

    Front diff gasket

    It's about that time to service the front and rear diffs on my 2004. I had them done at the stealership two years ago at a cost of $85 each. I read the "How to" and decided to do it myself. Not really reading closely, I ordered new gaskets for the front AND rear diffs, not just the rear. So...

    Jeep Liberty 04 wont start 3.7 auto

    EXACTLY what happened to me too! The exact same thing happened to me two months ago. Parked Monday night, everything worked fine. Tuesday morning and NADA! It took 6 consecutive jumps to make my way into town to get a new battery. Even when it was running and I was keeping the RPMs high...

    Spare me The Thule version is called "Spare me" and is somewhat expensive new. I found mine on Craigslist for $50. It holds two bikes securely, and also acts as a lock on your spare so nobody can steal it!

    Losing oil?

    Over the last two oil changes I have noticed the outside of the filter has a light film of oil on it at change time. The same light film can be found on the front axle and steering components. I put 5qts in at change time, I recover 4.2qts plus whatever's still in the old filter. The filter...

    WIX filters

    rockauto.com Rockauto.com sells Wix filters for $4.33. Shipping will vary according to your location, but if you were to buy 6 at once, it might make it worth your while. For example, one Wix filter shipped to me in Maryland would cost more than $10. If I order 6, the total with shipping is...

    I actually got rear-ended by an Acura Integra one morning. Her hood buckled, headlamp shattered, and one side of her bumper let go. My Thule "Spare me" bike rack got scratched on the underside...

    Changing Brake Pads - Question

    I had to compress mine with a C-clamp. My rotors weren't too grooved, minor at most. My Haynes manual specifically said to compress the piston before removing the caliper.

    Anyone done installations through Tirerack.com?

    What if the tire designation does NOT contain "LT"? Would they still be considered light truck tires simply because they were installed on a Jeep?

    Anyone done installations through Tirerack.com?

    Tirerack.com has a "price pledge plus" list of local installers who "promise" to install for the prices listed on the tirerack.com website. Has anyone ordered tires through them AND used a recommended installer? A local one near me lists mount & balance for any 60-series or higher tire for...

    Buying a factory service manual

    I know many of you highly recommend this for any form of repairs and/or upgrades due to its level of detail. I have a Haynes manual, which isn't bad, but isn't great. First, is it one volume or two? I've found some listed online, and some say one volume, some say two. Second, are there...
