    stuttering or missfire or something

    historically ive always used the ngk vpower plugs. ive seen them mentioned here a few times along with the champion plugs. plugs are cheap, so if i have any issues with my trusted ngk, ill swap em out.

    stuttering or missfire or something

    I have a 2003 liberty with the 3.7 and a 5spd. i was noticing it most in 3rd gear, stuttering bad, felt like it would stall out. then today i had the same thing happen in 2nd gear. i made sure all hoses are nice and secure (although i would love to replace them all, some craching, but doesnt...

    Where to carry extra fuel

    5 gallon should be enough. ive kind of worked it out in my head. i know where ill fill up for sure, but im iffy if the other spot still exists. if it doesnt, 5gal should get me to a small town, if not, it will be close enough for a walk to refill it. if it was winter i would def carry another one

    Need suggestions on new shoes.

    i had those same blizzaks on my ram. theyre great in the snow. not good for summer. rather than look at winter rubber maybe theres a decent all weather one out there? better summer wear but still performs for a season or two in the winter. seriously though, the blizzaks, awesome. i suggest them...

    4.0L engine rant...

    im a fan of the 4.0 straight 6. its one of the most reliable engines out there. but its was low on power for its size, weak mpg, and it was dirty. i just did 300000km on the 3.9 magnum v6 in a ram. it had torque, never had an issue, reliable as all hell. but it was also low in power for its...

    brakes shimmy, even after replacing rotors!

    i just replaced my rotors to fix this issue. if you only had yours turned and not replaced, jsut replace them. because you only feel it under heavy braking, coming off the highway (same issue i had) i would say its the rotors again. 10000miles on turned rotors is more than ive ever got.

    seafoam/injector cleaner question

    seafoam works great. but ive never used it on my fuel of a vehicle with mileage that low. used twice on my dodge ram. once via throttle body and once via vacuum lines. the magnum engine ate cats anyway if you do, for some reason, decide to pull them out, be sure to replace the o-rings too. over...

    Vibration under heavy braking

    i had new rotors put on yesterday. good to go. and i mentioned i think the dealer just turned them because of the other issues i had. it was supposedly saftied, but, after 4500km of highway driving there was ZERO material left on the rotors, the mech for the parking brake is seized, the shoes...
