What did you do to the expy today

[bearss07]

That's why I hide a chip key in mine, just in case.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to do that for her. She misplaces them often, but usually finds them. Not this time. I'm going to look for myself tomorrow.

Women like kids, sometimes find ways to get your attention. Losing keys is one way!

took my radio out the dash took top plate off and Re Solder
the one connection that seem to make the display not work first time doing something like that and now i can read whats on it instead of just guessing with a blink screen

Woohoo! Found the keys. They were in my mom's back yard and thankfully it hasn't rained here since Sunday.

On a different note, why does it take me so long to do things when working on vehicles lol? Took me four hours to disassemble, lube, reassemble and adjust my passenger side parking brake. Still have to do the driver side. Gonna wait till tomorrow, but good grief.[emoji30]

Took it "off roading" for the first time today haha. Well it's not like hardcore off roading more like a muddy trail that I decided to take to work in the morning since it takes 15mins off my commute and I woke my little buns all late today dreaming that I'm sleeping more hours than what I actually am

With the hours you said you work, I'd need a cannon to go off In my bedroom to wake up! I used to be able to knock out jobs real quick 20 or so years ago. But these days, I look at the job for 20 minutes, and say to myself, do you really want to do this, or call my shop 4 blocks from me. Usually ends up the latter. I then come home, and polish my tools!

going to put mine n a trailer and send it off to get fixed if i cant find the issue myself. other than that ive done an intake and all injectors plugs and a fuel filter next up is fuel pump and fix the coolant leak

 

[1955moose]

Do a fuel pressure test first. Then run a dtc codes test. Do you smell raw fuel. What year is SUV? 4 mpg. I thought my 4x4 at 9-11 mpg was bad. Let us know what you find, or shop if that's the route your going.

[1955moose]

Got the parking brakes all done a couple days ago. They hold in drive or reverse without the gas pedal pressed, but not good facing down hill. Oh well.
Also changed the front diff fluid, not much space there. It was gray, but no pieces of metal. Probably original like the rear was, has 120K on it.

These ebrakes are marginal at best. Top that with you can't tighten the adjusters snug like I did with other drum brakes, and you've got a rolling hunk of metal on your hands. Most of the other forum members say theirs are on the weak side also. Does anyone's first edition e brake hold strong?

Don't think I've ever tried mine.

 

[Habbibie]

Yea E-brakes are pretty much useless on our trucks.

 

[1955moose]

Hey Tom, I thought Colorado had hills like San Fran? How do you get to the 5200 ft part. It's uphill, then downhill. Just messin.

Yeah, my 95 Grand Cherokee is about the same way. Works fine facing uphill, down, not so much.

so i guess there's nothing really wrong with mine then ??? on a slight hill it doesn't really hold
Be better if i cut hole in floor pan and do it like Fred Flintstone LMAO

Got the expy stuck in a foot deep mud today on all 4 tires. Thankfully 4Low pushed it out like a champion.
