    Snorkel caps facing forward...why?

    If there's a hole, water will find its way in, but how much, how fast is another thing. If you're submerged for extended period then you might have enough water seep into the drain to cause the engine to aspirate it. Guess it's all about how big the hole is. Maybe you could add a spigot or...

    non-directional AT tires

    I've seen that and it makes sense when you think about it. I read a document today by tire researchers that concluded something odd about directional tires. They found no measurable difference in performance on wet or dry pavement when they tested the tires mounted properly, against...

    Help Broken Wipers Replcements

    A few winters ago I got a pair of Canadian Tire winter wiper blades and they worked great. Last winter I bought a second pair and they were JUNK! Wouldn't sit flat on the windshield, streaked like the dickens right from the get go. Lost the receipt too, so I couldn't return them. :mad: May...

    New Wiper Blades

    It still amazes me how durable those plastic parts are. In fact, it's amazing to me that automobiles work at all when it's really cold. We just passed 30 days into a cold "snap", and the warmest temp has been -15C (5F) which only lasted a few hours. Mostly it's been about -35C (-31F)...

    non-directional AT tires

    Non-directional tires can be mounted either way on the rim (i.e. it doesn't matter which direction they rotate). They have tread patterns that look the same from either direction. Directional tires have a definite difference in appearance, usually a v-shaped tread pattern, and can only be...

    I'm thinking this over...

    The parts guys in the local dealership (which is my last resort for parts) always say, "That's $XX.xx. Are you sure you want it?" No wonder, either, because their price is always way higher than anywhere else, usually for the identical part.

    Removing oil filter on a 2004 Jeep Liberty

    I use a strap type filter wrench, and just get 1/16 turns on it to get it started. It is very tight in there, but it's doable. Instead of tightening the strap onto the filter by levering the handle, manipulate the strap separately with your hand to get it snugged onto the filter, then turn the...

    New Wiper Blades

    The rear wiper is 11". I just replaced mine after over 5 years, picked one up at the dealership. NAPA in town couldn't get them and one other parts place in town didn't have them either.

    Great pictures! Looks like a great place to try out some tire chains. That sticker on your rear door is funny!

    Had to Jump the Jeep

    I've had to boost two guys so far this winter. Last winter it was only a couple all winter. Usually two or three a winter it seems like. It's usually OE batteries just gone past their shelf date..... We had -39 the other night and my KJ started. Coldest temp I've started with this current...

    What Oil Should I use in my kj?

    I've been using Amsoil 5W30 oil and Napa Gold oil filter (which is a Wix filter). Personally I wouldn't use Fram filters. Other fluids to change on a regular schedule: gear oil for the diffs (Amsoil severe gear is excellent), transfer case fluid (ATF+4 or Amsoil ATF) transmission fluid (same...

    Chrysler Shutting Down

    My 0% loan was for 5 years too. They offered, I didn't ask.

    Chrysler Shutting Down

    I bought my 03 on a 0% deal too. I don't recall having to qualify, but maybe so. I ended up paying it off 8 months early just to get the payment done though. The big 3 are about to get a bailout package here in Canada too, but I'm wondering how they can still sponsor big sporting events...

    Power Steering Noise

    Try fresh fluid. Just siphon out the old stuff and replace it. Mine was squawking and now it's quiet again even in cold weather. You might have to do it a couple of times so the old stuff flows through...

    K&N vs. Airaid

    Canadian Tire sells Amsoil products. I get engine oil and ATF there. Haven't checked into the filters, though. For some reason they don't stock severe gear, so I get that at a local Propane seller.
