I hate motor homes, Their diesel fumes sucking in my vent window, The smell of their brakes between the two mountain passes, And the big hair of their women. I hate dually pickups in the middle of the road, With their Arizona plates, Their fifth wheel trailers, And their Jeeps tagging along behind.

So I take my heep to a local mechanic I've had work done at before. The first clue was some younger man called me asking about how to shut off the alarm. :) Ok. The owner of this shop is past retirement age so that's not a surprise. They put on my new rotors and pads, fixed (welded up) the...

Last winter, I experienced some very sloppy steering in my 1987 Grand Wagoneer, and upon investigation, discovered one arm of the PS pump mounting bracket cracked completely through. I was fortunate enough to find a replacement bracket at my used Jeep specialty shop here in Spokane replaced the...

I posted this question before, but didn't really get an answer, so will try again: What constitutes a "trailering package" on a 1987 Grand Wagoneer, and what are the indications that the GW is so equipped? As a secondary question, I am contemplating pulling a 23' travel trailer, and want to know...

During startup sequence with ignition switch in run the "Check Engine" light fails to illuminate. The fuel pump also does not energize. Problem was intermittent but is becoming worse. My initial guess as to the the cause of grief was the ignition switch. Vehicle does not have a security system.

1982 unmodified CJ8 6 cylinder. Vehicle would not start with key .. turned out to be the relay. However before I realized that the relay was the problem I tried to replace the ignition switch (located on the top of the steering column -- not the key cylinder), which was actually OK. Still is OK...

Bizarre. Went to top up the oil just now and the filler won't open. It just turns and turns and turns and occasionally goes "click". I presume I get a new filler cap, bust the knob off the old one, and then go after the remains with pliers, but does anybody have any other sage advice?

Just bought my first Wrangler. I love it but after getting used to it I'm thinking that its geared awful high. I hardly need 5th gear. This is what I know: Tires: 30x9.5 R15 Trans: 5 Speed manual 5th gear at 2000 rpm = 60-61 mph (as read by two different GPS units) When speedometer reads 60 mph...

Went to replace the front shocks and found that the upper attachment for the one on the left is underneath a rats nest of brake plumbing. I can get at it with an open end wrench but if it slips it looks likely to bugger up a brake line. Is there an accepted procedure for getting that puppy off...

Master disconnect switch on my M38A1. What does this switch do. This vehicle has the 24 volt system if that helps any. Thanks, Greg

97 ZJ Limited 5.2 There's a hole in the muffler--obviously it needs to be replaced. The question is what with? I want something that's going to last and not break the bank. Not interested in "throaty sound" or "more power" or any of that crap, just want something that makes things quiet again...

Thought I had all the hard part done--muffler and cat are off, got the oxygen sensor out (the boss twisted out of the old cat, so this was not trivial), have all the new Magnaflow and Gibson bits in place under the car, all that's left is to tighten the clamps. So one of Gibson's fancy...

While searching for a full sized spare I thought why the hell not search junk yards. After all the OEM for the ZJ wheels is a mind buggering $400 from the stealership! Ran across this site http://car-part.com That site took about five hours of my life. Found several things locally, now I've got

2006 Grand Cherokee. 4.7l. Why is it that when I start it, I am getting some lifter noise on one side of the engine. It only lasts a short while then goes away. Anything I can do to get rid of it? It has 74k miles on it. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks, Greg

I am looking to replace the infinity tweeters that are in my 99 XJ, and am not having much luck trying to find one that may be a direct replacement for the factory ones. Do you know who makes a direct replacement tweeter that would fit in the door pod? I saw some listed on another forum but they...

the right speaker is very faint and comes on full strength after the heater has been going on for a while in cold months I took out the radio and cleaned the connections, etc. which seemed to make a difference but maybe it coincided with a warm day... anybody else has this silly problem? and know...

What are you guys using to "condition" the black fenders and bumpers?? The Jeep lives in the Arizona desert and the sun really takes a toll. -- Jim ... driving the Jeep
