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...

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...

Haha.
We get enough rain here in the PNW that the wiper motors don't have a chance for the build up. -
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.

Matt replied to the thread SOLVED! Washer and wipers turn on when truck started.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...

Even better, I can supply a video which really shows how much of an oddball it is and what breaks on it.

Everything from behind the rear seat, to the rear bumper, is unique to the XUV. Its like a smaller, but more water tight, avalanche. From MotorWeek

Was having an issue with my front wipers coming on when the car starts and also spraying windshield washer fluid on the TB. Thought maybe a dodgy multifunction switch. Popped a new one in and...

Replaced the oil pressure sensor. As usual, replacing the old part was straightforward despite having to do it blind and in a tight location (in between the intake manifold and the firewall). The...

Due today is the new under hood light for my girl's 2002 TB. The old one was causing an intermittent draw and has been unhooked for about a year before I recently remembered that I "was gonna"...

Ok, the truck is booked in with a local heavy duty mechanic. Great guy, by the way. Swinging by the dealer parts tomorrow for a new hub just in case. While the dealer wants to absolve them of...

Well, it will be booked into a shop. There was no pop on this one. Set it up and a few hand crankshaft with the 3/4" ratchet. 7 ton they say......
