    Heater Core Line Question

    Noticed a small coolant leak the other night which I attributed to a screw hose clamp on the bottom of the tank b/c I could see some coolant at the top end of the hose above the connector. Took it apart last night and re-positioned the hose and made sure the screw clamp was above the barb on...

    Random CEL/Low Fuel dings?

    So maybe 2x a month, after I have been driving like 10-20 minutes, I get a random/sometimes 2 "dings" from my Libby. They aren't the EVIC beep-beep-beep, but the single low fuel/check engine light noise. It's very distracting because instantly my eyes go from the road to the dash to see if...

    Best AC Delete thread/guide/method?

    So the other day I was in traffic and thought I heard my coolant bubbling. But as soon as I got to my destination, and turned the engine off, the sound stopped, so I knew it wasn't that. Popped the hood and traced the noise to the AC compressor. Took it to my mechanic, and he felt around and...

    2003 Renegade stock bump stop replacement

    I was driving to the farm yesterday and while taking the backroad in I went over a rise and when I hit the other side a huge bang came out of my driver side. I checked both wheel wells and realized my bump stop was missing on my drivers side. Since I'm not raised what is the proper bump stop...

    What do I need to remove the rock rails/running boards?

    The tubes on my Jeep are really starting to rust and I want to get rid of them. I'm gonna ask my mechanic to remove them next time her has it up on the lift, but I'm wondering if anything needs to be done once removed, to prevent rust or rot.

    Strange coolant temp behavior.

    So I had the engine replaced end of last August and had Jeep flush and refill the coolant earlier this year. My previous engine always ran cool(would take like 5 minutes sitting at a light in traffic for it to hit 219-221 and the fan kick on), but this "new" engine seems to run hot(cooling fan...

    Airbag light on after having airbag recall done.

    So I went in about three weeks ago to get my Airbag recall done as the module finally arrived at the dealer, and I had lots of free time on my hands. Got there and about 10 minutes later they told me they couldn't do the recall as my backseat was full of stuff(water, TP, clothes, dry goods...

    What causes a P0141 or similar O2 sensor heater circuit code?

    I'm trying to figure out what is causing my O2 sensor trouble code. Since I had it replaced with a brand new NGK one, I'm wondering what "conditions" trigger the computer to throw a code? Is it measuring voltages? Is there a temp sensor on the O2 sensor that reports back what temp it's at...

    Is this "too hot"?

    I don't normally run the heat on my Libby at all, which is a stark departure from my Dodge 3500, which would finally start pushing out warm air when I was just pulling into work 25 minutes from my house. With the Libby, it's generally warm enough to run w/the window 1/4" down. Today I was wet...

    Jeep threw 5 extra codes while driving. Should I be worried or did the OBD have a stroke?

    So while I was driving to see my father the other morning, the jeep threw 5 extra pending codes, besides her usual p0141 and p0837. Should I be worried, or did the computer just have a mini stroke? The codes cleared themselves and haven't appeared again and looking them up online lead to dead...

    Can you run UV dye in the coolant all the time?

    I'm just wondering if it's safe to add some dye and when I pop the hood at night every once in awhile check to see if anything lights up, or if it should only be used when you are chasing a leak.

    AntennaX reception question

    So since I got a new car wash membership, even though my stock antenna only bends slightly in the wash, I'd like to replace it with something a little more flexible. I've seen plenty of threads reccomending the AntennaX brand, but not much on what the reception is like vs. stock. I live in...

    CD Changer making clicking noises w/no CD's in it Can I reset?

    I brought my car in for a new water pump. When I got it back, instead of the "normal" soft whirring noises on startup and turning the radio on and off, I got clicking. I've never put a CD in it, so as far as I know, there were none in the changer. I decided to try to put a cd in to see if...

    Are there any 3.7 V6 engines that would fit in a 03 Liberty that don't use HOAT?

    Going to the mechanic who replaced my engine on Tuesday for leaking water pump(6 month warranty on the engine), and last time I was there, they insisted that the engine took the green stuff. I was gonna counter with my owners manual and everyone here saying that it took HOAT, but I remembered...

    Rear tail light assembly wiring question

    So I notice there seems to be two styles of tail lights out there for the KJ. One with one yellow/one clear lens(which I have) and one with two clear lenses. Are they both wired the same? I had to replace my drivers side one when I got it, and the first KJ we went to at the pick and pull had...

    "Switchback" LED's

    Does anyone out there who has clear side lights use "switchback" LED's in them? They are supposed to be white when driving lights and then flash yellow when you use your turn signal. I can figure out how the 3157 bulb can do this because it normally has two filaments, but the 168 confuses me...

    New(to me) engine running hotter than the one it replaced?

    So I had a used 3.7 engine with 51k on it installed in my Jeep after I lost compression in Cylinder 6 and causing a litany of problems. Since I didn't like the idiot gauge on the engine temp(my old dodge had an actual gauge with numbers on it), I bought a bluetooth OBDII reader and a tablet...

    Oxygen sensor question

    So I have been getting a variety of codes for one of my sensors: p0138, p0139 & p0141. Gonna order a NGK sensor off Amazon and ask the mechanic to replace the sensor next time I bring it in for whatever new problem it has, but my question is should I replace both sensors on that side at once?

    Multiple Misfires, engine running really rough.

    So I was driving to a friends house yesterday, 7/29, after visiting my house to start moving stuff out after a fire. She was running great all day, as I had to drive bags of warm food from my fridge/freezer to a local dump, and all of a sudden, about half way there, she starts sounding like she...

    Water pooling in well under drivers side rear seat

    So I've been trying to track down an odor in the Jeep. Thought maybe something I bought for dinner may have fallen out while driving home from the store and started going bad. So I went through the other day and removed anything that may have touched food and left the windows down for a few...
