    Transmission Service

    My auto transmission had been clunking for the past year or so, especially on hard braking, but it appeared normal from posts on here so I ignored it. Then a couple months ago it started not shifting down when coming to a full stop, when very cold, then would be normal after 10 minutes of...

    No Heat

    Ok, will post new thread on this with bit more info. Well, sure enough soon as it hits -15 C here, my heat gives out. Nothing comes out the vents after stationary idle for 15 minutes, then I get heat after about 10 minutes of driving. If I stop and park and keep idling, heat goes away, then...

    Interior Lights Come On

    I know I read that this happened to someone else somewhere in here - driving to work this morning, my overhead lights came on for a minute then went off, for no apparent reason. I've made an appointment with the dealer for Monday cause I still have warranty left (now at 86000 km - 53000 mi)...

    Front brake rotors

    About a month ago I was feeling a shudder through the steering wheel while braking, figured it was the rotors. Just had them replaced at 85000 km (just over 50 k miles). I'd had them machined at 50000 km when I had the front pads replaced and the service guy said they wouldn't be worth machining...

    Speedometer light out

    A instrument cluster light behind my speedo in the 80-100 km/hr area has burnt out (almost 80,000 km/50,000 mi). From what I can tell from other posts, the instrument panel looks easy enough to pull off. Anyone else had this happen?

    4WD Did Not Immediately Disengage

    I've had my 02 Limited (75 k km/about 50 k mi) in Full Time 4WD for a couple of weeks, put it in 2WD today for a trip. I could tell it hadn't disengaged, then about 10 km later, still in town, it gave one heck of a CLUNK! taking off from a stoplight, and it had disengaged. Anybody else ever...

    Michelin Latitude X-Ice

    Although the Michelin Cross-Terrains are far better than the stock Goodyears on ice, I wanted better for winter conditions here in Calgary and for mountain driving especially. So I got 4 Latitude X-Ice at Costco with ugly black steel rims, not wanting to fork out for nicer wheels. The...

    Silverstar Bulbs

    Thinking of going to the Silverstars seeing that a few on this site are using them and the stock bulbs aren't great. Any special wattage? Are these real hot? A buddy of mine put halogens in his Cherokee and they melted the plastic casing in the housing. Marty

    iPod & Cell Phone Mount

    I got a mounting bracket with a double-wide mount to hold my iPod and cell phone, from ProClip (www.proclipusa.com). Nice sturdy set up. Had to mount it on right side of dash thus partially blocking center-right vent, but a single unit set up would mount on left between instrument hood and...
