Typically, with air remaining in the cooling loop, the temp gauge will bounce all over, going hot, cooling off, etc. When you get the front end up and open the rad, add coolant a little at a time and force the air out. Add coolant to the cap level. The rad will "burp" the air as it's forced out...

Been there, done this. The best, easiest and quickest way to check your t-stat and make sure it's opening at the proper temp, or if it's stuck open: 1. Cold start the engine. Have someone do it for you, as you will be standing in front of the radiator with one hand wrapped around the upper...

Found this: Yes, cold weather can significantly affect Jeep Wrangler shift solenoids, primarily by thickening the transmission fluid, making it sluggish, which exacerbates existing solenoid issues or causes delayed, hard, or erratic shifting (especially 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd) until the fluid...

When it comes to cabin size and comfort, inches make all the difference in the world. Jeep could add 4" to the overall width of the body tub, and add a longer seat rail without much trouble and it would make all the difference in the world. If they can build a Challenger and Charger in a wide...

Unless they design a cabin that will allow a 70-year old, 6'6", 300lb guy with bad knees to stretch out a little, I don't see another Jeep in my future. I'll be lurking around and may offer a bit of advice here and there.

My 2014 JKU was sold today. The 10 years I had with my Jeep will never be forgotten. My wife even told me earlier today, "Say goodbye to it for me." She has a soaker tub surrounded by the ducks its collected over the years, and, although she didn't drive it much, some of her greatest joys were...

Yeah, I was quo I was quoted between $10-11k just for a reman 3.6 motor. Regardless, I have an offer and will be meeting a buyer Tuesday.

New cooling fan unit, water pump, flush, heads resurfaced.... another $4k.

As soon as I heard the tick (about 140k miles) I made plans to get all the work done. Very happy with the independent shop who did the work. So much so, they did all the work this year replacing the cooling fan unit, water pump, resurfacing the heads, etc. I guess at this point the entire top...

Had mine done last year- cams, lifters, rockers, plugs, PCV... about $4k.

Get it into a shop now. That sounds like a ball joint almost gone or a u-joint.

I was offered $10k sight unseen by the local Chevy dealer, where my wife bought her Tahoe a couple years ago. Carvana doesn't give much of an option to include all of the mods or note anything that makes the vehicle more valuable or attractive to a buyer.

$8k...:oops:

Isn't the white plastic piece in the right side of the picture the actuator arm? I thought the older JKs, like your 2008 had a wire cable connection from the actuator to the door itself.

Thanks, I have some, but they're not the best with the sun angle, but I'll re-shoot them and include.
