    What's on fuse 8?

    New fuses, switch, starter relay, and fuses 24-25-37-38-39 not blowing. Still pops 8 fuse on what looks like 1 position. Also airbag light started staying on when this started. The only event i can think of before this was BR taillight harness being tightened. But this bus doesnt look to even...

    What's on fuse 8?

    Yeah fuse doesn't blow till I get to the spring-loaded crank stage and turn on the switch. I put in a new fuse and starter relay today and tried. Tomorrow I put in the new electronic part of the ignition switch and new fuse. Fuse 8 is in 8W - 10 - 10/12/15 and 8W - 21 - 2/4/6/7 and they...

    What's on fuse 8?

    2003 sport auto 4x4 3.7 Same here with the fuse label. I looked at the chilton diagram and it only shows the battery and starter relay. It was doing fine earlier, then I shut it off and went back to start it two hours later and it did nothing. I replaced the fuse and it blew it again. It...

    What's on fuse 8?

    40A Fuse 8 blows when I turn the key on. Chilton diagram only shows it on starter relay circuit. The under-hood box.

    2004 Liberty Water Pump

    I got the bronze hi-temp from NAPA and did around the outside of the rubber seal just to maybe make it more durable. I did the bolts 40lbs. You have to take off the tensioner to access bottom left bolts.

    Bearings kill two engines inside a year.. Mechanics clueless

    Yeah I know 140k is potential lemon dirt-lot mileage. I'm a second owner and the previous was a person who basically used it as a toy from the looks of it. It has nasty wiring issues and some scrapes and rotted rocker panels on top of a paint job that makes maco look factory. I paid accordingly...

    Bearings kill two engines inside a year.. Mechanics clueless

    Yeah I know a little about what you're talking about. Valve seals and gaskets go bad and something probably happens with main-bearings too like oil pulled by gravity then oxidation or gumming. These are cut-outs but they are recent-cut outs from salvaged cars and they passed basic tests. Both...

    Bearings kill two engines inside a year.. Mechanics clueless

    Just went through my second 3.7. All the sudden I hear bearings and it eventually gets to sounding like bearings in a soup can; same as last time. Two different low-mile engines inside a year. Great oil pressure and compression when installed and the engine bay is plastered with nothing but...

    running temperature.

    Dead center is 189-208 and fan is suppose to kick in around 211. I've been logging mine with Torque where the fan did and didn't work, and also where on top of that air was in the system. It goes up to 208 and drops back to 189 in about two-minutes when healthy even sitting still. High speeds it...

    Muffler

    A 40 series flowmaster with a resonator probably. They have the best muffler construction hands down. Next would be that one stainless catback you see around or Borla with resonator. You have three cats so it'll probably never bee too high db. HKS might have a catback. To me it sounds like...

    Clutchless mechanical fan.

    No-clutch fans are loud and don't really have significant advantage over clutch fans. Besides the eventual wearing of the clutch. Both are better than electric though.. My opinion as someone who works around hauling campers with a KJ and RVs is that every reason you have to not use a clutch fan...

    Normal Torque values?

    Here is a log from my trip back from a store some miles away. Notice the 233F/112C coolant temperature at the end. Bank 1 STFT is -6.23% to 19.53%(but averages around 4%). Bank 1 Sensor 1 and Bank 2 Sensor 1 trims are -5.9% to 15.63% but average around 5%. They all fluctuate rapidly which from...

    Normal Torque values?

    I'm more interested in seeing if I'm running lean since it can cause the over-heating issue I have(?). I won't have time to test and do stuff for another week but I can drive it around after work. My two rear O2s are on high(1.0V) but they don't influence fuel/air. My fronts are brand new OEM...

    Normal Torque values?

    Fuel Trim Bank 1 Short Term Fuel Trim Bank 1 Sensor 1 Fuel Trim Bank 2 Sensor 1 What should these be on an 03 auto 3.7 4x4 using Torque app? I'm trying to see if I'm running rich or lean or normal and this is the only OBDII tool I have. Using Google turns up nothing but maybes or generic answers.

    Headlights Recommendations?

    I had GE nighthawk platinums on my caravan and my prelude and both started going back to amber inside two-years. They are coated halogen bulbs..

    Headlights Recommendations?

    They will be within 2-years with daily use. They are coated halogen bulbs just like the cheap Chinese ones they just have better engineering for the coating. They are just the best of the "white" halogen options. Might as well do HID as I'm pretty sure they have no practical performance...

    Headlights Recommendations?

    Just Some FYI from my past research: The only HID-like halogen bulbs are the GE NightHawk Platinums. The rest are all halogen-amber with off-color. All of them wear back to halogen-amber within a year or two so its a waste of money. With my 03 I just stick with clean OEM lights. I think I seen...

    Need help fast, 190 mA draw with ignition off.

    you solve drain on anything by removing fuses and testing between negative post and cable. The worse are shorts in wiring.

    Is there a "towing package" and what is it?

    I'm eventually going to tow a 14' camper that is full-function. They are usually around 2,000 pounds though. I'm going to do the inline tranny cooler, probably one of those aftermarket ones, and convert to mechanical fan before that.

    03 3.7 strange over-heating issue(OBDII figures in post)

    OEM thermostat is on it's way. Mopar #68174083AA. Going to flush and fill with 50/50 premixed Zerex G-05 HOAT coolant 4+ gallons. By the way mine is electric fan and the fan will not come on unless I turn the AC on(means relay, wiring, and fan motor are good it's firmware/PCM). On 2003 there is...
