    GForce Chip

    Engine chips, including the G-Force, are the topic of much discussion on my Challenger forum and the consensus opinion there is that all engine chips are hype at best. There are no shortcuts for tuners and an engine chip in the best scenario will not damage your engine. Installing a chip could...

    20 inch wheels suck!

    The wheelbase is likely too short to provide a comfortable ride with 20" wheels. Given your situation, I think the switch to 16" wheels is a good idea. The swap will probably require a speedometer re-calibration, which should be easy enough for most competent tire and wheel shops... although a...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    2002 Jeep Liberty. Too nice for a beater

    I've never charged anyone full price. Everybody always gets a friends/family/senior-citizen/veteran discount. I've also bartered detailing services for mechanic work. My usual fee is $25 an hour, regardless of what part of the detail I'm doing, so I always advise clients they can save nearly $40...

    Blower motor resistor pack needs replacement

    Just got the word from the mechanic, and he confirmed what I pretty much suspected from my dead blower motor. The resistor pack is dead. I did a forum search here and came up with this handy how-to (HOW TO: Replace the Blower Control Resistor Block). The steps seem fairly simple, but I have a...

    How did you first find your KJ?

    I had been looking for a first generation Jeep KJ for the last 2 weeks. The story of how that came about started with my purchase of a new Challenger in June, followed by the sale of my 2008 Accord sedan 3 weeks later, and then the acquisition of my 2002 Liberty just last Sunday. I had planned...

    HOW TO: replace blower motor assembly

    Thanks for the write-up. Just bought a Jeep and the blower motor is out, but the odd thing is that the motor was replaced just about a year ago. I'm taking it in to have other root causes investigated (I've already tested the fuse and suspect the resistor may be causing the problem). If the...
