Hi I recently purchased a 2001 Toyota landcruise jeep (Ireland). It currenyly has 50000 miles on the clock. It had very little of road use. I have notced a knocking sound from the front wheels of the jeep and since dicovered it's probably the CV joints which need to be replaced. Is it normal for...

After driving for about 20-30 minutes, my truck decides to shut off. It loses power, bogs down, and then shuts off completely. When I try to restart it, it's as if the battery is dead. It will try to turn over a few times and then dies. If I wait for about 30 minutes it will start right up like...

I think I need to replace the starter on my 1988 Jeep Comanche (L6 4.0) as the engine won't turn over while the battery tests fine. I've managed to figure out its location and can get under the vehicle to get to it. Just want to know on a 1 to 10 difficulty scale of do it yourself repair work, how...

I have an old (I mean old) 4-door truck with manual locks, you push the handle down once the door is closed. I can get electric locks at JCWhitney but I am clueless about the process of converting them. I don't even know if it can be done. Has anyone ever done this? Any help out there? -- Message...

I need to make this go away. I bought the truck in '89 out of college with 45K miles, and the engine went (hard) at 177K miles. Everything was working when it died about 6 months ago... new clutch, front tires are good, the differentials and tranny etc were all fine. It has a camper shell. This...

My 97 Explorer has recently put herself into 4wd low. I can't seem to get her out of it. I've clutched, changed from 4 high to low, backed up, drove through the snow,(didn't get stuck), and still it will not disengage. There are three positions on the switch, auto, high and low. Any suggestions...

I have recently purchased a 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport. The Check Engine Light has come on twice in the last 3 weeks. Using the "Turn Ignition Key 3 Times" tool, I get error codes; 12, 45, 17 and 55 I have found multiple posts on the web as to what the codes are, but none of them say what 45...

Just wanted to know if what i am experiencing with my 01 G.C. Limited in normal My truck has given me very limited problems until now. After feeling a jerk while on the interstate I took it in to the mechanic. I had noticed some rattling coming from under the hood and was trying to fix it myself...

Hi There, I'm posting this for my husband. He's not the type to ask for directions and is having a hard time removing the alternator on his '94 Jeep Cherokee Sport. Basic model - no a/c, pw or pl. I saw on an earlier post the following... Alternators generally aren't hard at all to change,...

What condition would you consider to far gone to try to restore? I would love to restore my jeep, but the body is in extremly bad shape. The engine only has 44,000 miles on it, but the gas tank is rusted out. The frame seems to be in good shape. What do you guys think and how much money do you...

So now that the snow's gone, took a look under the jeep ... and the right front u-joint is toast ('96 Command Trac). Not a safety issue since won't be using the 4wd just yet ... but it'll get replaced next week or so. Just a heads up :-) ... might be a good idea to crawl under and take a look.

I have an 01 Durango and am not sure which engine it has in it. The owner's manual is confusing to me. At one place it says it can pull 7500# and another place says 1680#. I want to get a pop-up camper but not sure how big it can be. Any ideas? Also, what hitch would you recommend, class II or...

After I shut down my 96 jeep cherokee V8 a pretty good leak of antifreze was dripping on the ground. I traced the leak to an area that is very hard to see. I cleaned the area and blew it off with some air. It seem to be comming from up above and behind the water pump. The water pump was replaced...

I went on the run with my girlfriend Fiona Mont for four years in my 110 defender. It was a great vehicle and kept us safe from the police and British media. Fiona was wanted for fraud at the time (all over now the copper chasing her got nicked himself). Anyway we towed our tiny caravan all over...
