Durn tootin’ Dino stuff. I’d rather change it per mfg recommendations and have fresh.
I never take a vehicle in to a tire shop for tires, I remove the wheels and haul them in , then return and mount them
Last set on the 03 was running late and wanted them on so just took tires in to have them mounted
Well in doing so new guy ( first day on the job cross threaded 2 nuts on right rear
They said they fixed them
Today I go to rotate them and those two with new chrome lugnuts on them could not break them loose
3 foot bar with a 6 foot piece of pipe on it would not crack them loose
Back to local tire shop, they had to break them off
they replace all 5 studs, replaced all 5 chrome lug nuts
and my final bill was $0.00,
great job and honest people

Jump started it due to dead battery. Hadn't driven it in two weeks. Might have been even longer - neither myself nor my wife could remember the last time we went anywhere in it.
Anyone want to recommend a good jump starter pack? I think I need one...

I have one from BestBuy. I believe it is a Scosche 700A unit. I’ve used it once on my Jeep and almost a dozen times on various neighbors’ vehicles. It’s also handy for camping because it has USB ports and can charge cell phones.

I’m legal to drive it now. Title work done, plates on the Jeep. Tomorrow morning, the new wheels and tires go on.

Changed all six ignition coils today. Purrs nicely now. 207K on the OEM coils...not bad! Installed MasterPro's I picked up at O'Reillys - $23.99 each with a lifetime warranty.

We went with one from Harbor Freight - CENTECH 10/2/50 amp charger/engine starter
Does what we want.
Mine's a Die Hard. It works great for everything in our driveway and yard - from the Cub Cadet up to my husband's work van. Better yet, it takes a standard size automotive battery, so I can replace it when it dies.
Timely topic! I just jumped my neighbor’s 09 Chevy Cobalt this afternoon. The battery was toast.

I started it up for the first time of the week yesterday. I was out of town for work.

Idled it in the garage for twenty minutes to keep the battery (sort of) charged. Last time I actually went anywhere was 22 days ago.
And thanks to all for recommending a battery booster - ordered one yesterday.
