    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    Yeah I am highly aware of the shipping woes of the past few months. I ship 50lb computers and CATV headend creates that weigh anywhere from 300 to 500 lbs all over the US every day. The issues I have experienced were not shipping issues, except back towards the beginning of this fiasco. It...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    You know, you shouldn't bring up guns with me on the forum. I love my guns, but my favorite is my Model of 1917 Remington 30.06 which was made in September of 1918 for use in WWI. I bought it at a gun show about 4 years ago. The previous owner had done some remodeling of the stock and cut down...

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    I do have a 4 yr\million mile\no fault warranty on the engine . I insisted that this repair be covered under the manufacturers defect warranty. That means the dealer I bought the Jeep from, will have to pay more towards the Chrysler dealers labor cost than if they used the no fault warranty...

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    The service writer called me this morning to let me know the head came in on today's UPS shipment. He called me at about 9am. I decided to go up and check in on it after work at about 4pm. I talked to the mechanic; He was doing the final touches on the reassembly. He said he should have it...

    High power reverse lights

    Mine arrived 2 days later. They came in on Saturday. My Liberty is still MIA though. Maybe today or tomorrow I'll get her back. I am anxious to see how bright they are. I connected a 9v battery to one of them just to see how it looked, and I couldn't see again for about a minute. All I could see...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I drove by the Chrysler dealership tonight and waved and blew Lady Liberty a kiss! She's still in the shop there. I sure miss her. Been 2 months and 13 days since she blew up. Been 28 days since Chrysler got her to diagnose the leaking valve guide. I just hope that when I get her back she will...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    All he needs on there to really make it pop, is a set of spinners. Do they still make those? :Wedgie:

    help with transmission problem

    Long story short I had a typo, it wasn't the 1st of Jan it was the 10th, but other than that here goes. Dealer I bought it at fought me a bit about doing the work at first. Then they ordered it and it look a week to get it. A couple days to install it and it was back on the road for one night...

    help with transmission problem

    Don't be disheartened. My situation has been a comedy of errors. My thread has 230+ posts of all of the crap I've been through. I still do not blame the Jeep. As Forest Gump said... "It Happens!" There could be a bag full of diamonds and I reach in to choose one, only to fine the one piece of...

    help with transmission problem

    My experience is that it all depends on the previous owner. How did they drive it and maintain it? I haven't read or heard much about the transmissions going out. I bought mine on Dec 10th, and on Jan 1st the engine blew. It had 134K miles on it. It is still in the shop. I have been without it...

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    Just got a call from Chrysler. They tell me the head didn't come in yesterday or today. So, no, I won't be getting it until at least next week. How would you handle this situation? I think I have really handled it with grace and mercy, don't you? I have not yelled at anyone, or lost my temper...

    Low speed rumbling noise

    Found your rumble cause! LOL My initial knee jerk reaction was going to be "Get a bigger hammer" but I wasn't sure how you would take that! LOL As for the clips, same advice unless you are trying to reuse them. Then you'll have to use some finesse, tap them in a circle until they loosen up...

    Low speed rumbling noise

    Did you get the U bolts off at the rear differential? Or are they the kind that are held in with a clip? If it is the U-bolt kind, then just tap on the U-joint caps and they should come loose, then the drive shaft should just pull out of the transfer case out-shaft. If it is the clip type, then...

    help with transmission problem

    Do you have to go all the way to park, or will it work if you go to neutral or reverse and back to D? My first thought is that it sounds like your linkage slipped. Or Trans control ECM has gone bad. Have you had the recall on the ECM for the tranny done yet? If not, that may fix it. There is...

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    Well, today is the day the Chrysler dealer told me he would have it finished. I should start a poll or a wager or something and see what you guys think. Are they going to really be done with it? Is it really going to work correctly? Will there be something little to fix? Will there be...
