    A/C Only Works Sitting Still???

    I've got a 2007 Navigator and the A/C works great when the truck is first started, but once you start moving, it shuts off within a couple of miles. We thought it was stopping when the truck got up to temp, but when sitting still in the mechanic's lot, it ran fine and blew cold for over an...

    Tire Pressure Sensor Lifespan?

    Hey all. I have a 2007 Navigator and am about to put new tires on. I'm willing to bet it's got the original TPMS sensors. Should I be proactive and replace them at 10 years old, or just wait them out and replace as they start to fail? The truck has 147k miles on it BTW if that matters. If I...

    Any experience with eBay/Amazon Front Suspension Kits?

    I have all factory front end components with a bit over 220k miles. So obviously, a few are in need of replacement. I'm thinking about one of the multi-part kits that are available for a fair bit less than buying the parts individually. But I'm not sure if it's really as good a deal as it...

    Jeep Takeoff Tires? 255/75-17

    Hey guys, I have a chance to get brand-new Jeep JK takeoff tires for a seriously good price. At 255/75-17, they're not quite the same as factory, but pretty close. Has anybody run these before? Thanks! Here's a breakdown of the differences....

    How to get signal for upgraded sub amp?

    I'm about to upgrade the front door speakers and know I'm gonna want a bit more out of the sub to compensate. I already have a better driver back there as I swapped in a JBL GTO804 shortly after we bought the truck. So now I'd like to upgrade the factory amp to one with some more cajones. I...

    Manually selectable recirculate?

    I have a 99 with the automatic climate control. I also have a partially clogged front heater core (surprise surprise). When it's below about 30 out, the only way to get heat up front is to put it on max a/c then turn the temp to 90. This closes the door that lets fresh air in and puts it in...

    Blew out #2 plug. Questions inside.

    Blew out #2 plug. Can I drive it? Ok, the wife headed into town today and called from about 5 miles out and said it was making a horrible noise. Other vehicle is down so she had no choice but to drive it back. Once back here, I noticed the #2 plug where it shouldn't be. The coil broke at...

    DANGIT! How long is it safe to drive with a tiny heater core leak?

    Driving home this evening, we started smelling antifreeze. It's sure enough the front heater core as there was virtually no smell with the temp set to 60, but as soon as you start turning the temp up, you get a fairly strong smell. It did start to dissipate after a mile or two, but it was...

    No wonder it sounds like crap! -- PIC INSIDE

    Bought a 99 EB about a month ago and knew the sub was blown. But weather has sucked pretty bad and I didn't feel like standing outside to deal with it. We finally got some really nice temps today so I pulled the thing apart. OH MY! I'll let the pic speak for itself: Thankfully, the...

    Can you revive a failed LSD?

    I just got the oil changed and everything checked out on my new-to-me 99 EB with 165k on the clock. When checking the rear diff, there wasn't much fluid in it at all, so we topped it off with standard gear oil. Now that I've had a chance to look up my axle code, H9, I see that it should be a...
