    Balls on Rear Diff.

    Heck, I was going to black ball them, remove them, paint them gloss black or flat black and re-install the balls.

    Oil fill cap tight!

    New to this forum too and this fill cap was stupidly tight, took it off and cleaned all the varnish off with paint thinners. Wow what a thick coating of varnish, wondering what the engine internals look like. Then I had some Dow Corning O-Ring lube, put a spear on the cap threads and O-Ring and...

    No heat

    I'm going to try and back flush my heater core as see if it heats the cab better. Heats come out hot for a few minutes and then changes to cool. If I leave it on setting one, I get more heat than if it's on setting 4

    New KJ owner in RI (yes that's in the USA)

    Welcome, Used my selec trac continuously in all 4 positions since Thursday. Did 100 miles on the nastiest roads that I have ever been on. Boy does it ever save the brakes from heating up going down 12-14% grades for 4 miles on switch backs.

    how does the 2003 heated seat switch work?

    Welcome I used my 2003 heated seat by accident today. You press on the low to turn it on, then press again on the low to turn it off. Hope that helps you.

    Time to replace the catalytic converter

    So, need to get it scanned to find out which one is at fault I guess. How much if I DIY. How much if I take it in to it. Should I do everything from the manifolds to the tail pipe, (tail pipe and muffler has holes in them) or just do the single failing cat. My build was 09/02, 3 cats I guess.

    From Chevy S10 to Jeep KJ. Tinkering is what I do.

    Welcome, I also just joined a week ago and have an 03 Renagade. Replaced the rear diff and transfer case fluid so far. Working on wire brushing, sanding and painting over all the rust on the underside, getting it ready for winter.

    P0420 code and 02 sensors question:

    I still have the P0420 code and wondering if a O2 sensor will make it go away or do I have to replace the catalytic converter to make if go away.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    My de-rusting and painting quest is moving along, took the spare tire rack off the rear gate and removed all the rust and painted everything, waiting for everything to dry and then the assembly will begin. Studs that we're screwed into the tail gate door were blued loctite in place, had to heat...

    Upstream vs downstream O2 sensors

    Anyone know if we can test these before replacing them all. Sounds like I have fire the parts cannon to get rid of my "mil" light that is on. Sounds like I have to fire the parts cannon at the Liberty to get rid of these codes. P0420 P0442 P0445

    Upstream vs downstream O2 sensors

    Welcome to the forum, I'm new here to and would like to know too. I have a few codes that popped up and my mechanic says change the catalytic converter out. It also might be the O2 sensors I heard too.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Changed out my rear diff oil and there a lot of metal spare parts in the oil and on the magnet. Clean it out out and found that the bevel gear (side gears) look like a Rottweiler has been chewing on them. Actually, only one side gear is chewed up. Axle bevel gears look in good shape. It's a...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Well, finally had a chance to measure this and the fronts were bang on 19" and the rears were closer to 20". Question, leave it like this or start changing the suspension parts. All I've done so far on the suspension is paint it all gloss black. Undercarriage is starting to look nicer than...
