Murphys law just bit me
I'm on my third 4x4 shop already. This one has a great reputation and if they stand by that and fix their mistake I'll give them a thumbs up. I notice that there always seems to be one or two older knowledgeable guys then a team of youngsters doing the grunt work. At first I thought maybe its...- smittyfromPA

It never ends.... Well, my feel good vibe lasted about 4 hours. Parked in my driveway I see a puddle of fluid. Front diff is leaking. Shop did a full front axle rebuild so its safe to say it did not happen spontaneously. This is getting annoying. :favorites68:- smittyfromPA

Murphys law just bit me
Just picked it up and it runs great. I drove it 30 miles on the highway and about 15 on back roads. However, my new JBA lift is squeaking something awful in the rear when I go over the speed bumps at work. Hopefully its just because its new and needs to be broken in. At this point, it running...- smittyfromPA

Stealership told me after "exhaustive troubleshooting" it was a bad PCM:icon_frown: Picking it up later today. I think I'll take the back roads home and stay off the highway until I'm sure all is good to go.- smittyfromPA

Thanks everyone for the advice. I wish I could have drove it home and did some of my own troubleshooting before going to the dealer but was advised against driving it the 50+ miles. It wont be able to be looked at for a few days so I'll post an update whenever I have one.- smittyfromPA

Thanks, I am patient but its wearing out. The worst part was seeing all the goodies installed, tires and wheels looked awesome, but I cant drive it. Oh, and now I'll be going to the Jeep festival riding in the back of a Wrangler instead of driving my KJ - insult to injury lol!- smittyfromPA

At this point I'm stuck. Going to wait for the dealer to diagnose. I found a great YouTube video that explains the code pretty well. Start at 1:57 in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ_UeSSJd8g- smittyfromPA

Murphys law just bit me
I'm just going by what I was told because I did not drive it myself . The shop finished all suspension work and drove it to their alignment guy down the road. He called them back and told them it was done but was running really bad. That's when the shop found the codes and thought it was a...- smittyfromPA

You know, I re-read the email again and it did say 104-155. I must have read it as 140-155 the first time he sent it. Damn!- smittyfromPA

Yes, before any of this happened and I agreed to upgrade suspension I asked for a compression test and was told (quote) "All 6 cyl were between 104 and 155 so very good."- smittyfromPA

Murphys law just bit me
Saying it is now PCM related I'm being told after trying a long list of troubleshooting its probably a PCM issue. So its now going to be in the dealears hands to diagnose and repair. I drove the Jeep into the shop 3 months ago, it probably sat without running for at least 45 days, and now all...- smittyfromPA

How did you end up with your KJ?
Traded in a 2003 ford Escape for my first Jeep, a 2005 KJ Renegade. I bought the Escape for for daily driving and for a hunting/fishing/camping vehicle. Was not impressed and wanted more off-road capability. So a few years later I started seeing more Liberty's on the road and did some research...- smittyfromPA

I hope its not a valve problem. Was running fine and no codes 2 months ago. I would have thought the compression test would have caught a valve issue.- smittyfromPA
