I go out this morning, push the button on the remote, nothing. Hmm.
I unlock the door with the key, open it, nothing, no dome light.
I put the key in the ignition, turn it (ok, that was fucking...
I did a round trip this weekend to see my aging parents and one of my brothers. Was a worthwhile trip. Helped out around the house and a great visit. I took the WL Grand Cherokee and it...
Went to Oakridge, OR today for my favorite biscuits and gravy and Wagon Grease and we went down by the rapids and I shot a pic and video thru the thick trees. I am gonna also try to post some...
Ran around like a blue arsed fly today.
Headed out at 8:30 this morning to get the grocery shopping done before the crowds descend. Headed north to pick up a driver shaft I had a different...
Ran some errands this morning. They want to have level 2 background checks done for staff at work, so went and got my finger printing done while I was out. Stopped by Harbor Freight for a couple...
The work went as planned. The engine air filter had some pine needles and straw on it and in the air box and because of the MAF sensor location, had to remove the air box top for access and the...
On tap for today: 2022 Nissan Pathfinder with the 3.5 engine.
Oil and filter change, engine air filter, cabin air filter, clean MAF sensor, complete inspection under vehicle and in engine...
Truck here at 11 and got started. Old one off and back together with the new one was a 2 hour job. Old stuff fought coming apart. Then had to make adjustments to new one to get close to same old...
I went and pissed around on the WL Grand Cherokee in Sunday. Did a battery reset as a last resort. No dice. The battery is under the driver seat and actually not that bad to deal with. I found...
As I have talked about before, I still turn wrenches in my driveway. I did an upper intake teardown and spark plugs/coils replacement on a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6 on Monday and today I am...
Got my 9-7x Aero Frame a full descale, passenger frame rail patch and frame rot fixed and a couple holes on the driver side as well as coated with Fluid Film yesterday
Some of many pictures
Well, took the head off that motor. Not even the head is salvageable. Looks like the connecting rod just decided to leave the chat. The other cylinder looks perfect. No idea if it was over...
My wife got me 4 ramps many years ago, just for this purpose.
Today I did a tear down and service on the 2021 Grand Cherokee with about 84,000km. Went well, for the most part. The brakes came...
I worked on my daughter's 2020 Ram 1500 classic today. Bought used with 85,000km. I did the full break down and inspection. It went way, way, WAY better than our other 1500. Everything came...
After another ugly winter, I thought I would add my "effort" to this nice thread. My 2008 has been "hazed" for a while (240kkm). I decided to give some elbow effort along with some "DIY" (ie...
So to finalize, I ended up getting a new old stock Valeo wiper motor from good ole eBay. Part number 15094704. I ended up just swapping on the pulse board from the new motor onto the existing...
Today helped my sledding buddy disassemble a sled that he bought with a blown motor. Sad really as the sled itself was in great shape. The PO had no idea why it blew but he did say that he had...
A couple months ago I checked the oil level in the TB, all looked good. Probably 16,000km on it and planning to change it in the spring, regardless of what the monitor says.
The other day, there...
Well, as things change out here, we decided that we are going to sell our little 2004 Escape 3.0. The wheel bearing I replaced sounds like its going bad. This was an expensive SKF and unsure why...
Just picked up this sweet ride in September had been sitting for awhile in Kentucky had my mechanic go completely over her fully serviced all fluided drained and filled from front to back just...
Truck is back. He had to torch it out. For fun, he tried the 20 ton press. No dice. The lower ball joint was loose as well, of course nothing local for just the ball joint itself. Napa only...
I did my oil change yesterday, and while waiting for every last drop to drip out (I could never open an oil change shop, I'd drive myself right out of business), I was rolling around under the...
My 2002 without any rain sense option also suffered that same stuttering behaviour. Same solutuon, opening up the works and cleaning those rings/contacts.
My 02 LTZ had the rain sense wipers and they had a grease issue. Grease would get onto the copper conductive ring in the motor assembly and it would cause the wipers to chatter or stutter as the...
