    dash speaker blown

    Anyone know of an aftermarket speaker that will fit in the front door without modifications, and that can be used with the stock speaker amp?

    dash speaker blown

    I was on a road trip and for whatever reason, my right front speaker (the tiny one by the windshield) sounds like it is blown :icon_sad:. Is this speaker easy to get to? I'm thinking of just disconnecting it for now, and might replace eventually. Can I get to it through the dash without...

    P1281 code

    Thanks for all the info, guys. Turns out it was the t-stat. Also turns out my brakes need replaced. :emotions122:

    P1281 code

    Thanks(biggrin) Anything I can do for that, or does it just need replaced? I'd try doing it myself, but I'd have to work on it in my driveway in a bunch of snow, so I'll probably just take it in to the shop tomorrow morning.

    P1281 code

    Is this "engine too cold too long?" I've been having trouble lately with only warm (not hot) heat, and according to the temp gauge, it takes a very long time for the needle to reach the middle range. A couple days ago, the CEL popped on and the code is 1281. I had the radiator replaced...

    strange sound at idle

    I didn't check that, but I'll give it a try

    strange sound at idle

    Can anyone diagnose this? It sort of sounds like a rattling/buzzing sound. It almost sounds like it's coming from the oil tube. Notice how the sound gets louder with the cap removed. Here's a quick vid: MVI 0242 - YouTube

    overheating

    Well, in case anyone has similar problems, just wanted to let ya know I got this resolved. Turned out I needed a whole new radiator. According to the service dept, it had a pretty good leak in it. I also had them put in a new t-stat while they were in there. So far, so good =)

    overheating

    Well I made an appt to get it flushed next week. Tonight I poked around under there some more and look what I found (see pic). Does this mean I need a new radiator?

    overheating

    You might have called this one. After a very short drive home from work (about a mile) I let it cool off a bit, then tried the "burping" procedure. I didn't see the fluid level drop at all, or any bubbles. After idling for a bit, I turned it off and felt the upper rad hose, which was very...

    overheating

    OK. One thing I didn't try doing is burping the system, so I might do that to see if it helps. If the radiator is plugged, is that something I could clean out myself with a hose, or is it best just to take it to a shop and have them do it?

    overheating

    I'm just going to go ahead and replace the t-stat. Found one at Napa for 23 bucks with the gasket. How much coolant is going to pour out when I disconnect the lower rad hose?

    overheating

    Radiator looks clean, and I didn't notice any unusual smells. Is there a way to check the thermostat and water pump to make sure they're working properly?

    overheating

    Is there anything that would cause the temp to increase only during freeway driving with the AC on? Since filling the coolant, the Jeep has been fine. Temp needle has stayed right about in the middle during city driving. However, yesterday I was on the freeway running AC and noticed that the...

    overheating

    Well, I got the proper coolant and added a 50/50 mix. It took about 2 qts to get up to the line. Hopefully that solves my problem. I can't believe I let it get this low! During the winter, I had to get the heater core flushed because my heat wasn't working. I wonder if it didn't get filled...

    overheating

    OK, so here's my coolant bottle. This looks way low to me...what do you think?

    overheating

    OK, maybe I will just keep an eye on it. This is the one and only time it's happened so far. Although my drive to work is less than a mile, I haven't had any trouble this week since it's been in the 80s. Temp needle has stayed near the middle.

    overheating

    Could the stat do this intermittently? Is that something I can change myself?

    overheating

    I'll have to try the arm out the window thing. It didn't seem to be blowing that hard though. Could it be that it's only running on the low setting? I didn't have any trouble today with the AC on, but it's only in the 80s and I didn't drive very far.

    overheating

    Here's the weird thing...I didn't turn it on until after I'd been moving for a while. The whole time I was sitting in traffic, it was off and the temp was in the normal range. I popped the hood last night while it was parked and running, and the radiator fan was not spinning. Then I...
