So the other day I went to adjust the seat back on the driver's seat and the handle snapped off clean- both the little metal "ears" that fit into the plastic handle broke off, along with the mounting screw. Anyone had this issue and have a good fix for it? I put it in the best position...

Howdy- I think this is a common issue, but I didn't know how to search for it- My grille support is broken on both sides up by the headlight. The plastic tabs cracked in half. Seems like I saw on ebay or somewhere a little kit with some brackets to just reinforce that area. I guess I...

Thanks for the response, tlrtucker- actually found out today that it looks like it was just sludgy coolant clogging up the thermostat. After I did a "quick flush" and refilled it with water, I haven't had it overheat again. Just testing it out for a couple days, and then I'll go back in with...

Looks like I may have a bad head gasket. My 03 Sport has 185 K on it, and I admittedly have not been great with maintenance. So the question is, is it worth spending the money on getting the gasket/s fixed, or am I better off just cutting my losses? It's been a good vehicle so far, but I'm...

Thanks for the tip- I'm closer to McKinney, so I'll check it out. Appreciate it.

Thanks for the responses. Pretty sure it hasn't had HOAT coolant in it, and I understand about the tap water- but at this point im just trying to figure out if I have a bad head gasket. If I can keep it from overheating, I will definitely go back in with distilled water and the correct...

Thanks for the response- I think it may be too late for that... started it up again later, drove it around the block- now moving up to the 3/4 mark on the temp guage. decided to go ahead and just drain it and do a quick water flush thru the radiator- added just some plain water to fill it up...

Hi- Jeep was running a bit hotter than normal today, so once it cooled down I checked the coolant levels. Level was OK, but the fluid was full of rusty sludge. I flushed everything out about a year ago when I did the water pump- no rust back then. Should I just flush it really well again...

Hi All- I looked in the local Texas forum first but didn't see much activity, so I thought I'd post here- My 2003 2WD has a rear-end whine that the local Firestone says is a pinion bearing. Anyone know of a good shop in the Dallas/Garland area that can fix this for a reasonable amount...

Lug nuts are good- probably does need an alignment, but would like to get the ball joints done first. And I do hear some noise occasionally from the u-joints- mainly when slowing down/stopping and then taking off again. Not always, but sometimes. And that is a different noise than what I'm...

Well, Timken is well-known in the bearing world- not sure about this application in particular, but I guess any manufacturer could have a bad part from time to time. Which could also be true with the ones I installed. Any thoughts on my theory about the bad ball joints contributing to the...

OK, point taken- but "not lasting very long" should be more than 2 days, shouldn't it?

They were aftermarket hubs- don't know the brand. yeah, I figured it wasn't the joints making noise, but i wondered if maybe bad joints would put additional pressure on the hubs or something..

Howdy- So I just changed the hubs on my 2WD Liberty. Seemed like it fixed the bearing noise for a couple days, but now it's back. While I was in there, it looked like the ball joints had seen better days. Could bad ball joints be causing the new hubs to make noise, or did I just get some...

Nice one, delisiousdaly- had the same issue with my 2003, and just fixed it- your pics were spot on. Thanks!

So bottom line is that it SHOULD be more air/blow harder on recirc, which is what I thought......thanks for the info, folks.

Hi- I noticed that when I turn the AC to recirculate, that the air volume actually DECREASES out of the dash vents, but doesn't increase anywhere else. The air is colder, as it should be, but the owners manual says that the air should increase out of the dash- which is what every other car I...

Well, I thought about the DVD player, but the holes are too far apart, I would think. Looks like some kind of inside rack-

Hi- Just got an 03 Sport, and it has 4 holes in the headliner- 2 on the front crossmember and 2 on the rear, spaced evenly about 1 foot from center . If I put my finger in there, I can feel what SEEMS to be threaded holes. Question is, was there any kind of factory accessory that would...
