What did you do to your jeep today?
Right back at ya !!!! Though in the chaotic aftermath of being a Dad of two kids, my motto has become "A little bit of OCD can go a long ways" !!! That said, Ive probably still got an old chrome Dymo embossing labeler packed away somewhere :cool:- seafish

Rear upper control arm.
Yes I had to replace the UCA to get rid of the shift point clunk, but when Jeep replaced the LCAs under recall, Giddyup was once again able to ride without swerving both when full out galloping or slowing down. ;)- seafish

Rear upper control arm.
Replacing the rear UCA is not really a difficult job. IMO, there are really only two problems 1) The dirt that will be falling all over your face as you work to remove it 2) Finding the OEM balljoint or even another high quality aftermarket BJ The former can be dealt with by pressure washing...- seafish

Power Window Button Issue
Most likely dirty contacts inside the rocker switch. If your at all mechanically inclined, it is a simple enough matter to remove the switch pad from the console and then open up the switch and clean it thoroughly. That said, if you're NOT mechanically inclined, you can try spraying...- seafish

Engine appears to be over heating
I just reread your first post with details about your overheating and how the temp gauge is running at the 3/4 mark... That detail, combined with the unknown variable of which coolant types have been added to your system, again makes me suspect and concerned that there is some sort of...- seafish

Engine appears to be over heating
I would not recommend that unless doing a full and complete flush and even then I wouldnt do it as HOAT is the better /longer lasting coolant- seafish

Engine appears to be over heating
RockAuto has the OEM MOPAR thermostat for your Jeep for $38, though Im not sure if they'll ship to Canada. That said, don't be tempted by the cheaper aftermarket versions they also carry.;) Any decent discount auto parts supply house should carry the Zerex G05 which is HOAT. Be sure to get the...- seafish

Engine appears to be over heating
There may well be, though I dont know of any specifically other, then the usual flushing products. That said, I would advise doing multiple flushes, including a final one using distilled water, to ensure that as much as the old coolant as possible is out of the engine block as well as the...- seafish

Engine appears to be over heating
The problem with mixing HOAT with any other type of coolant is that doing so leads to a chemical reaction which partly gels the mixed coolants and this not only restricts flow by the pump but can also clog the smaller passages of the cooling system and radiator. :eek: In short, the more of...- seafish

What did you do to your jeep today?
If there IS uneven wear, you will still need to figure out what is causing it .. ie sticking caliper pins or pistons, rust or debris on the caliper frame or sliders, etc And I may as well insert my FAVORITE brake job tip ... crack open up the bleed screw while you push in the old...- seafish

What did you do to your jeep today?
Brake squeaks are generally metal to metal vibrations often caused by improper pad install or uneven pad wear. Applying the brakes changes the applied pressure/tension on the moving parts, so the squeak goes away. Time to look closely at pads and calipers and look for uneven pad wear Just...- seafish

steering liquid cooler
^^^ Yes it is one of the stranger and probably least effective “fluid coolers”ever conceived and installed on a vehicle. In fact when those particular PS lines leak, I have heard that some people have managed to have a farm repair, or other type hydraulic, shop fabricate a hydraulic line with...- seafish

05 liberty purchase
If “not shifting into gear” simply means you can’t move the shift selector, then the problem might be as simple as removing and replacing the ignition/brake/shifter interlock in the steering column. If so, that is not a difficult problem to fix and, in fact, can be quickly overridden by...- seafish

Thermostat Upgrade
Or he could just continue to point out to unwary consumers that there is no such thing as a racing thermostat…. After all it doesn’t really make you Jeep go any faster and depending on what kind of fan control is on your 3.7, could actually make the engine run HOTTER in some conditions. While...- seafish
