Attention: Paint & Auto Body experts!
If it were me. I'd buy it and take it somewhere and have them paint it. Then just put it on myself. Most body shops would much rather just have you hand over the untouched panel and take care of it themselves to make sure it's done right. I'm guessing it would probably only cost a couple...- ShafferNY

Rattle at start up
Our 06 has a rattle at start up. It sounds just like a couple transmission lines rattling, or a heat shield that's loose. I've looked under it and found nothing. I believe it's something in the valve train or time chain componets because it goes away about 30 seconds after start up. It's as...- ShafferNY

Intermediate Steering Shaft Replace
I put some clear silicone on it so I wouldn't get water in the passenger compartment. That should hold her for a while. It's just a temporary fix though.- ShafferNY

Intermediate Steering Shaft Replace
How hard is it to pull the intermediate steering shaft? From the FSM it doesn't look too bad. I need to replace this boot. It's a bit chewed up. I'm not really sure why. The other question is, can I buy just the boot or do I have to get the whole intermediate shaft? Judging from...- ShafferNY

How to check upper ball joints
As long as you're supporting the vehicle safely under the LCA, you should be able to feel any play by grabbing the top of the steering knuckle and moving it back and forth. You may also detect movement by trying to lift the UCA up and down.- ShafferNY

Feathered Tread
I understand the terms and geometry behind alignments, but the numbers he provided me didn't make any sense, specifically the toe adjustment. I hope it's not 1.8°. Factory spec is .2°, plus or minus .125°. Acceptable range is +0.075° to +0.325° If it were 1.8°, it would be way out, which...- ShafferNY

Feathered Tread
While going over my Jeep before winter, I noticed the tread on the front tires has some pretty good tooth to them. They're feathered to the inside. Now, I understand some feathering is normal, but how much is too much? When I had my alignment done after I installed my lift, the numbers...- ShafferNY

U-Joint size with 45RFE?
Does anybody know what size U-joint my '03 Liberty with the 45RFE transmission uses? I'd rather go pick up the parts I need before I take the driveshaft out, rather than take one of the old u-joints with me to match up. Advance Auto lists two different sizes for my vehicle. I believe...- ShafferNY

Bought our second KJ - Bad news
Maybe I should change it. Maybe it should say, "Stay away from Nemer Chrysler Dodge in Queensbury, NY and Saratoga Chrysler Jeep Dodge in Saratoga Springs, NY!!!" Both of these garages had the vehicle multiple times for the same complaint and neither one could figure out the problem until...- ShafferNY

Coolant and a noise
I agree. It could be going into a cylinder. It could also be caused by a bad intake gasket. Before you go so far as a leak down test, just pull all the plugs out and see if one of them is REALLY white and clean looking. If there is a marginal leak the spark plug will look almost new.- ShafferNY

Bought our second KJ - Bad news
For those of you who where following this thread. I think we finally got to the bottom of the issue. The TSB was performed and we haven't had an issue since, knock on wood. We've made several trips out of town and it's been running great!- ShafferNY

The first time I've ever seen a lifted KJ in person.
Could be. Mine was the first and only lifted KJ I've seen in peron. Go figure. There is one here in town with a neat cowl induction hood though.- ShafferNY

Ford Motorcraft Premium Gold Coolant
Here in town we only have two parts stores, Advance Auto and Napa. When we went out of town I checked Autozone, Advance Auto, Tractor Supply, Wal-Mart, and K-Mart looking specifically for the Zerex G-05 in the gold jug. Nothing. If the local NAPA doesn't have it, I'll see if they can...- ShafferNY

Ford Motorcraft Premium Gold Coolant
This weekend I plan on flushing the cooling system on my '03. I want to get it ready for winter. When we went out of town this evening, made several stops looking for the Zerex G-05. I couldn't find it anywhere. The only place left is my local NAPA, which I plan on checking tomorrow morning...- ShafferNY

Trans All locked up! 05 Renegade 4X4
Maybe you guys should start a new topic on this with a poll. lol Personally. I've always been a fan of inline engines, due to their torque and reliability. I loved my 170 I-6 in my '66 Bronco.- ShafferNY

Are you noticing fluid loss? Or are you just concerned about the wet areas?- ShafferNY
