    Buying a new Wrangler soon...opinions of them?

    I am thinking of buying a new Wrangler. Local dealer says they can take a deposit on an order to my specs and get the vehicle built and delivered in about 6 to 8 weeks. They say the factory is highly limited to bespoke orders like this. Looking to get a two door. Mid range of features etc...

    Turn signal clicks quickly...

    This problem comes and goes. Right turn signal clicks real fast some times. When I get out to check things, all fine. The problem goes away. Hmmmm What's happening?

    Water Pump Gasket 3.7L--Is RTV necessary?

    The nice write ups here on replacing the water pump indicate using RTV on re-assy. I don't recall that in the manual nor on the (same) water pump on the 4.7L in my Dakota. Do I apply RTV to the gasket on water pump installation? I may be suffering from CRS, but opinions from the field are...

    Busted the sun visor clip...Same all years?

    I busted the sun visor retaining clip. Are these the same all years? I will swing by a JY that has some Libs, but I don't know if the clips are different over the years. 02-04 different than 05-07? Any advice?

    What Compression Tester Kit do you suggest?

    Mityvac has two. The fancy one for about $97 and the simple one for $32. Harbor Fright sells a kit for about $30. But I'm suspicious of their stuff. What do you suggest? None of my old school compression testers work on the deep spark plug well engines of today. I have a 4.7 and 3.7 and...

    Have you done an Italian Tune Up on your 3.7L? Did it help, or did you destroy it? Share your experience. But please omit speculation and caution from the sidelines. I am trying to assemble some real data here from Jeep owners. Thanks.

    Fuel Injector Advice Needed

    I am considering replacing the fuel injectors. 122K miles. Maybe too soon, but I like to renew stuff before it fails. What brand is currently found to be good to go with? Are there real upgrades, or to the supposed upgrades just cause more problems? Thanks

    Jacking and Lifting Point Pics

    The manual explains jacking for tire change purposes. The manual pic and explanation are still inadequate in my view. And there is no explanation for lifting the front of the vehicle for placing jack stands in the right place. So here are some pics for those who might be confused or new to...

    A/C Compressor Cycling---weird

    OK, I don't claim to understand all the features on this vehicle. But the A/C compressor cycles even when no defrost or or A/C is selected. Is this normal, or is there a stuck relay or something? 2006 Sport 3.7 auto

    Rear Drive Shaft Service Life?

    When Burro II was up on blocks this week I took a close look at the rear drive shaft. Rusty as heck. Looks all original. 122K. The spicer joint does not seem serviceable. No apparent problems at this point. But I am curious as to typical service life of these. And is there a...

    Towing flat four wire harness connections...?

    I looked but could not find a "how to" or FAQ on connecting a four wire trailer light harness to the existing wires at the back of the KJ. PO never got the hitch installed under the exploding gas tank recall. I am taking El Burro into the dealer for that recall this week. Figured since I...

    Starter Motor Replacement Questions...

    122,000 miles and the starter motor is working fine...today. But from all I can tell it is original. But I don't think Jeep/DC were known for making parts that last forever. So I am planning ahead here and want to put one on my parts shelf for that day. Replacement metric is quality, not...

    O2 Sensor Accessability

    OK, I searched but could not find this info. Probably it is out there, but I will just ask again: How accessible are the O2 sensors? The down streams are easy from what I read so far, is that so? But I found no info on replacing the upstreams and Haynes and Chiltons are silent on it. They...

    Coolant Reservoir Life Expectancy--2006

    I would have thought Jeep learned from the Renix era XJ's that pressurized plastic coolant reservoirs are just trouble waiting to happen. I owned an '86 back in the day. Dealer new purchase. Trouble within a year. What service life is typical of pressurized reservoirs on the KJ? Are there...

    Trans fluid drain and refill...

    I'm putting in a large parts order for the 06 Lib with 3.7 and auto. Included on the list are trans filter, gasket, and fluid. Question: How much fluid is typically needed when just dropping the pan and changing the filter? (ATF +4 type of course. I guess that's religion around here)

    1996 XJ For Sale (Tree Damaged)

    As mentioned previously, my XJ was crushed by a tree, so I replaced it with a newer KJ. But I know Jeep interest here is beyond just the KJ. So with that I mind here is the Craigslist posting of my XJ for sale with lots of pics, since some members here have indicated interest...
