I'm having an odd issue with my 09 Grand Cherokee Limited 5.7 that started this afternoon. When I remote start the vehicle, it starts up fine, runs for about 10-12 seconds, then the engine shuts off. When I try to start it back up via the remote, it only flashes once, not twice, and does not...

I have a 96 Cherokee country. 4.0 straight 6. Automatic. The beginning of this year I enjoyed that stalling out issues of the crankshaft sensor, until I replaced it, along with the distributor and a new fuel filter. I had the transmission rebuilt also and a couple weeks ago replaced a freeze...

Sank my ZJ: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f7/i-sank-my-5-9-nj-pine-barrens-yesterday-1480722/ Flushed in 6 gallons, 2 quarts of fluid. Fluid color is perfect now. Though it seems to have been a waste. Trans is basically done I think. At 55 MPH the the trans won't downshift and then acts...

We were out 4 wheeling in our 2005 Liberty 4WD V-6 Auto yesterday. Went thru a few washes, but nothing really rough. Today enroute home on the freeway there was a loud bang and it seemed that the transmission had shifted into neutral. The check engine light came on as did the transmission...

......In my front end, when I came upon this. I discovered multiple broken welds on my steering gear and brackets. The size and quality of the oem welds is pathetic to say the least. :thumbdown: I did some quick rescue welding on it, as I was attending a jeep event early the next morning. The...

I have a 2012 JKU right hand drive with around 9,000 miles. 3 weeks ago, I hit a rough washboard patch of dirt road coming up to a mail box, and the traction control system failure/warning light came on, as did the check engine light. If I turn the ignition off and back on again, the traction...

1999 TJ stock 6 cyclinder OK, I have had two unique failures of my stock ignition coil. The first one was about a year ago and after going through the troubleshooting in the shop manuals, I got to the coil and the resistance was 10500 ohms on the coil, which is out of spec (normal I believe is...

So i got a real puzzler for all you gear heads...problem started today just doing some mild off roading in some mud and snow. Went over a small embankment, came down off of it and turned a sharp left and then pressed the brake. However, when i pressed the brake it went right to the floor and i...

I am looking at getting new tires in the near future and I am wondering what is the largest tire you can put on the stock carrier without ripping it off?

Hey guys here is one I did not know until it happened to me. On Friday I was washing the Jeep at the local car wash and since it had been sitting for a bit I thought it would be a good time to check the tire pressure. Went to unscrew the first vavle stem cover and snap. The valve stem snapped...

I have a 2008 JK unlimited. I haven't had it in 4 wheel drive very often, but when i put it into 4wd or back to 2wd, the shift knob was not very easy to move into gear. Now, just after towing it behind my rv, and following the owners manual to putting it into neutral in the transfer case and...

Just curious who has already replaced their ball joints, especially in the front, and what brand/manufacturer you went with. This is the next thing I'm going to try in my never ending battle against the shimmy. Thanks.

I was told at a stop light yesterday that my brake lights had stopped working. Turn signals work Tail lights work Replaced the fuse behind the glove box Checked to make sure hazard switch was in full off position Have not checked the bulbs yet (I assume they are fine since all the other light...

Here are the stats. 6 speed. Stock X axles, front and rear, re-geared to 5.13 from 3.10. 4.5" lift, 37" tires. Shifting hasn't seems silky smooth ever, but never really clunky or anything. I was at a stop light, shifted into first and slowly began to start forward. CLUNK BANG CRASH. Rear...

So I took my 07 JK in to the dealer today for the trans temp recall - and they tell me that they noticed my steering damper is leaking and needs to be fixed. This dealer had been known years ago for being less than honest - but I thought they had cleaned up their act. So what should have been...

Has anybody seen a spacer-caused failure first hand? I'm trying to get a feel for how unsafe they really are...
