    Rear brake backing plates, almost $400 what gives?

    Are they made of GOLD and painted black? What in the world makes them so expensive? Nearly every other backing plate I find is under $100 for the pair, including other Dodge and Jeep products. The Wrangler, Nito and KK you can get a fully populated backing plate with hardware and shoes for...

    Front hub with ABS on non-ABS Libby

    My wife's BMW X5 of course has ABS and TC and a yaw sensor and all that crap. When I try and get up our 800ft long driveway in the snow and the wheels start to spin it will actually apply all that crap and keep the wheels from spinning and will eventually bog down and just not move, I've had to...

    Front hub with ABS on non-ABS Libby

    Thats probably what I'll do, just clip the wire and heat shrink the end just because. I wouldn't think the sensor goes into a greaseable area though. Any other vehicles I've had the sensor just is mounted on the hub and goes to a reluctor ring, not to the inside of the bearing itself. I'll...

    03 Liberty 3.7 throwing lots of weird codes and then resets itself.

    Reploaced with New Optima Red Top, and still throws codes, just not as frequently. Plan to address the grounds to the computer after Christmas and see if that cures it.

    Front hub with ABS on non-ABS Libby

    I ordered new hubs as my right front is worn, so plan to replace both of them. Found a smoking deal and didn't even think about the fact that they have the ABS sensors, and I have a non-ABS KJ. Will they still work fine, just remove the sensor? Or should I leave the sensor in place and just...

    03 KJ Overheating after 30 minutes of driving. (Fixed)

    Just a quick update, System is still working, no overheating with almost 600 miles since the new Rad. Still looking for the HD parts, but no luck in any of the local wrecking yards.

    03 Liberty 3.7 throwing lots of weird codes and then resets itself.

    I am beginning to suspect grounds as well. I also had my brand-new 950CCA AGM battery tested and it drops to 9.2V on start and is showing less than 400CCA so it was replaced under warranty, and they upgraded me to an Optima Red Top for only $50 (score!!), problem has not been as frequent, but...

    03 Liberty 3.7 throwing lots of weird codes and then resets itself.

    Thats kind of what I was thinking, but leaning more towards grounds or relays as the battery is a brand new 800CCA AGM battery. I also have a Bluetooth battery tester hooked up and have used it a few times and it shows its cranking just fine. This morning it did the same thing again and after...

    03 Liberty 3.7 throwing lots of weird codes and then resets itself.

    Thanks, 147K miles on her. Changed plugs and coils 2-300 miles ago. Didn't use NGK ZFR6F-11G, but ordered some yesterday as I heard that the 3.7 is particular to those plugs.

    03 Liberty 3.7 throwing lots of weird codes and then resets itself.

    So, I'm stumped. Got down to 25 degrees yesterday, and not sure if temperature has anything to do with it, but started up in the morning to head home from work and it was running super rough and had no power. Pulled off the side of the driveway before I even got to the road to scan for codes...

    03 Auto Trans shifting issue, Off by one. Won't go into park, Reverses in park, starts in reverse, and drives in Neutral.

    Looked but didn't see this exact issue. So as the title says, after sitting for over a year and finally getting it running again, the shifter is off by one. It will start in Reverse which it thinks is neutral. It will reverse in park and it will drive in neutral. There is no park. I have...

    03 KJ Overheating after 30 minutes of driving. (Fixed)

    Thanks, I did flush the entire system three times, including back-flushing the heater core, but even the radiator was showing water moving through it, just seems that it either wasn't flowing through all the fins, therefore not cooling enough, or backing up when under pressure, as it seemed to...

    03 KJ Overheating after 30 minutes of driving. (Fixed)

    Didn't replace the fan as I never found it to not work, in fact turning on the AC to get the fan to come on early is probably what kept me from blowing a head gasket.

    03 KJ Overheating after 30 minutes of driving. (Fixed)

    Short version ... For those that don't feel like reading a novel scroll to the bottom for the final fix, but I think you might find the story and the troubleshooting steps intriguing. Long version, here goes. So been a KJ owner for about three years, but only lurked on here and thought I...
