    gas cap warning

    Over the last couple of months I've gotten code PO456 and a gascap warning on the dash a couple of times so I replaced the gas cap a week ago. About a 1/2 mile from the house gascap came across the dash. I pulled over and double checked to make sure the cap was tight. The gascap message...

    low speed hesitation

    About a week ago I noticed when I turned right on the last switchback coming up my driveway that my jeep momentarily lost power. At first I thought maybe my foot slipped off the gas pedal. Twice today while coming back to town it did it also. Both times I was at a near stop making a right hand...

    sticking calipers

    I have a 2010 jk with 71k miles. This year I've had to replace 3 calipers. The 1st sign of them going bad is a drop in fuel mileage, then when the brakes start to heat you get the smell along with an extra hot rim. Nothing obvious shows up when inspecting the bad caliper, works when...

    brake odor

    I got a distinct brake odor when driving my jk this morning. While my nose couldn't pinpoint the odor, the left front and right rear wheels were hot to the touch. Would this be a traction control issue? How do you determine/fix or is it something else? 2010 jk, 67k, no codes

    j/k electronic stability control

    I drove my jeep to the doctor's office today and it started acting strange. First there was a low pitched rattling sound, then the jeep seemed to loose power after which the ESC light started flashing. Then everything was normal but a few miles later the jeep slowed down and the light came back...

    3.7 roller rockers

    On my stepson's liberty I found the reason for the dead cylinder, the first valve [intake?] on the passenger side had the roller rocker fall off. Not sure why it came off ?? also unsure as to how to put it back on. Everything looks ok, neither the rocker or the spring appears damaged.

    2002 liberty starter

    I was in the middle of doing a compression check on my stepson's jeep when the starter quit engaging. Starter motor turned but bendix wouldn't engage so I got a new starter and installed it [no little job :x] but the new one does the same thing. Am I overlooking something or did I buy a...

    snow and ice

    I have a 2010 jk and it's probably the best 4x4 I've ever had, mostly due to traction control. My driveway is on the north side of a mountain and can get a little hairy in the winter. While I've not had to get out and walk, I have had trouble going up and down at times this year. I know the...

    2002 liberty tune up

    My stepson's liberty all of a sudden started running rough and the check engine light came on. It threw 2 codes [I forget the numbers :redface:] that indicated a misfire on #4 and coil issue on #4. So I plan to tune it up for him and possibly replace one coil. I've never worked on an engine set...

    2010 jk radiator

    I need to flush the radiator on my jk but can't find the petcock anywhere, am I looking in the wrong places or does it not have one?

    seat stuck

    We went to the store today and when I went to fold up the rear seat to accommodate the stuff my wife got, while the back part of the seat will fold down, the bottom will not release from the floor. I tried prying under the seat but it looks like all that will do is bend the floor pan. I assume...

    disconnected transfer case lever

    I got in my jk [2010] to go to church this evening and the transfer case lever no longer works - it just flops around :( Obviously it's come unhooked or something. It's currently stuck in 4 wheel high. My Haynes manual isn't very clear on how to access it. I've got the console loose but not...

    jk idiot lights

    I have a 2010 JK with 41k. I was driving to the next town today and heard a slight pop or crack and the ESC and ESP/BAS idiot lights came on. I tried the ESC switch and even stopped to shut the engine off/on but the light remained. About 20 minutes later [15-20 miles] I stopped and turned at a...

    2002 liberty battery cable

    My stepson's liberty needs the battery cable ends replaced. Should be a simple job but the cable ends are different than any other I've replaced. The factory ends bend and go down along the side of the battery about 2" Both leads enter a fat wire loom that doesn't want to move much. I think I...
