    Coolant System Flush Question

    I thought it was an awesome deal for a jeep that's been very well maintained. And when you think about it you never really know what a used vehicle has been through when you buy them, at least with this one I know. Like profdlp said even if replace the waterpump I think im pretty much ahead...

    Coolant System Flush Question

    is there any way to check to see if I have any issues. I take ownership of this jeep from my cousin next week when he goes to buy a new car. He gave it to me for less than trade in value and its low miles that's why I said I wanted it. If I should steer clear or if this is one of those things...

    Coolant System Flush Question

    Ive been reading about HOAT coolant today because my thermostat housing is leaking and in need to repair. I got my jeep from my cousin and he told me back when he replaced the radiator he used the "good for all colors" antifreeze to top the system off. For this reason I know I need to do a...

    Transmission Pan Magnet.....I'm OCD

    thanks guys ill swing by HD later and find a few magnets for the outside of my pan for now to hold me over until 100,000 then ill change it all again and check. If my magnet is in there would the polarity of these dislodge it or do anything in a negative way?

    Transmission Pan Magnet.....I'm OCD

    I thought about that too just to ease my mind until time to change again... would it do a decent job? If the current magnet is in there it wasn't able to hold a paperclip from outside today so would these be able to hold shavings in the same way?

    Transmission Pan Magnet.....I'm OCD

    well the old pan was rusted and a new one was ordered. While i trust my mechanic i ofter "wonder" about some of his help. I can envision the rusted pan being removed, filter changed, and new pan pulled from box and put on without much consideration given to the thought of fingering through the...

    Transmission Pan Magnet.....I'm OCD

    i wondered if the new pan came with a magnet. Thought about stopping at the shop and asking but expect ill get a blank stare or an automatic "yes" when asking. I was thinking about doing it in 25000 instead of 50000 this next time just to be certain. What kind of fluid does the Jeep take...

    Transmission Pan Magnet.....I'm OCD

    Ok stupid question.... i posted that i am about to buy my cousins low mileage Liberty end of next month. He took it in for a checkup after we discovered transmission fluid dripping on the pan. Turned out the pan had rusted so he had a new one installed. I'm worrying that they may not have...

    New to me 2004 KJ Columbia Edition

    window Reg with motor assembly

    not sure but i hear they OEM design has issues from myreading. My 04 has a bad window regulator too. Watched a few videos on youtube and read some articles about this issue. There are some newly designed regulators that are more durable i believe. Just do a search and they should come up...

    New to me 2004 KJ Columbia Edition

    well i realize the KJ isnt as easy to customize or capable as some other jeeps on the same budget but someday i hope to own an old CJ or Wrangler and do a really crazy setup. For not a nice street cruiser capable of still getting me around in snow or to my favorite hunting spot is all i really...
