YES, I'M A BAD AMERICAN by George Carlin I Am Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD American. I am George Carlin. I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid level governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican! I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way,...

I had my 89 XJ listed for sale and one person that stopped to see it decided to not buy it but, since he had retired as a mechanic for Phil Long Ford in Colorado Springs, CO, he suggested I pull the cam out and check it. He said that over the last few years he had worked there had been several...

Is there any reliable way to check if a catalytic converter is bad without removing it? My XJ has started sounding like it has an exhaust leak when it first starts up in the morning. There are no obvious visible cracks in the manifold so I'm wondering if the cat is clogged and is causing...

All, I'm looking for some advice on this. First, some history: In December 2002, I bought and installed a remanufactured engine from PowerPro Performance (the company with the long warranty) out of Missouri. That engine had bad rings in #6 cylinder so it went back. I installed the second...

dealer says that we have a bad front hub bearing... having never encountered this before, what would cause this ?? -- ---------------------------------- "If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something." - Steven Wright

my 93 cherokee i-6 only get about 10 mpg. HELP! -- Message posted via http://www.carkb.com

In all my years of driving I thought I've had everything break that could, but now have a new one. For the past few weeks I've been hearing a new noise from my engine, and I'd pretty much convinced myself that it was the bearing in the AC compressor bracket that supports the fan... after all...

Hey all, The heim joint on my Rubicon Express track bar is getting loose and needs to be replaced. I'm pretty sure I can find one locally, but a quick web search reveals many options. I like the look of these joints with greaseable ends: http://mdmetric.com/rodend/durbalcat2004.pdf Does anyone...

My engine light goes on usually when it's raining. the typical MIL codes are 12 battery disconnect 22 ECT sensor voltage too low or high 47 charging system voltage too low 72 catalytic converter efficiency failure It's any combination of the above codes.

Has anyone in this group ever had a problem with a radiator cap? Having just come into town from a short road trip with our 2001 Grand Cherokee, my wife pulled into the garage and all of a sudden there was a large pool of coolant under the engine compartment. I opened the hood and found coolant...

Does this only happen to me? I have spend the past few nights with the jeep "studying" for the state safety and emissions test. The jeep is running great now, and I have taken care of a few odd things (like mud flaps, and the mirror that came off a while back). Last year the hazard light switch...

The selector switch knob for the AC system broke. :( And they don't sell replacements.. just the whole unit. (go figure) It's junkyard time again for a not so old unbusted part. -- DougW

That's what I get for leaving the back hatch slightly open. Although it should have had enough juice to run the inside lights just overnight. :/ Gonna have to design a shutoff circuit for that. Something in line with the fuse that has a timer and a relay. Or a voltage sensor. Anyhoo, tried to...

Only one out of three Jeep Speed class vehicles finished, averaged 28 mph. Supposedly the course was quilte difficult this year.

does there exist a ball hitch receiver with a very long shank, like 14" or more? i'm not referring to the overall length, but just the length of the shank tube that has the receiver pin holes. thanks

I picked up a new lower ball joint today and went with the heavy duty one that still had a grease nipple. They also have a light duty one listed. I was reading the directions and it says for a typical Spicer 44 front end. Well, I have a 30, not a 44. Does anyone know if they are the same part...

what can I expect to pay for all 4 new ball joints and labor at a garage?? I dont want to get screwed. NTB quoted me 800.00 and I thought that was high. bryan 97 TJ

Hi. Replacing the upper and lower ball joints on my 01 TJ, with a kit bought from Napa (closest store). The kit is made by KDS. The upper ball joint came out okay, but the kit's pipe is just a tad bit too small to go around the bottom ball joint, to press it out. I was wondering if anyone has...
