The one for the 4.7 didn't fit so I sold it on eBay. The 2004 that I did didn't work with mine since my 2003 has a 2002 throttle body and wiring harness(who knew?) so the sensors wouldn't work. Sent that one out for some testing on an 04. So I got impatient and bought one...
I'll give you credit - you're not a quitter. :worthy:

I noticed a bad leak from brake hose left side. I got a new one from autozone for $13 and got it installed. Changed oil and oil filter, vacuumed and steamed the carpet...fun day

I was a bit chilly inside, when I realized the heater blower only works on high, so today I'm going to replace that resistor board.
Spent $120 on parts, valve cover gasket, PCV valve, spark plugs, resistor board, serpentine belt, air sensor cleaner, and rear wiper blade.
Saturdays project!

While looking for a throttle body gasket last night I found my rear wiper arm and blade. Removed it with less than 500 miles on the KJ , so its basically brand new. Forgot where I had packed it away at . Looks brand new so has to be worth at least 500 bucks right ??? :icon_lol::icon_lol:

It's worth to you, whatever you say it is :gr_grin: but might not be worth that to anyone else! I think I paid about $8 for it.

Darn Oreilly's gave me the wrong belt :favorites68: have to stop back on the way to work and get the right one.

At least the heater works now.

8 bucks for the blade maybe, but the whole arm / assembly with blade is worth another 492. :happy175:

I've never used my rear wiper, maybe I should take mine off too.
Rear wipers do look good on mini vans though. ;)

Don't see any need for them. Plus seems like most you see have big scratches across the back glass
I wax my back glass 6-8 times a year ( or everytime the KJ gets a coat) never have any issue with stuff back there. Ex even had a Caravan and it never needed one. Just personal feelings, just like I know a lot of people don't like turn signals ( or must not since they never use them:happy175::happy175:)
Some around Toledo never liked headlights
everyone has different tastes :ROFLJest:

I never use my "inside" rear view mirror, so really no need to see out the rear window. I always just use the outside ones, lot of miles sitting in a Pete just got used to using them

I got lots of Pete seat time too, currently driving a Volvo for FedEx ground.
