I keep around 35-38 psi in the tires. I lowered the pressure a while back to around 32 psi, but it felt like it was “floating” on me. Very uncomfortable driving feeling. I also have the equipment to recalibrate my speedometer, so that’s no issue.

I’ve got a 2017 Jeep Wrangler with the below tires and lift kit on it: 35x12.50 Hercules Terra Trac M/T’s Lift system is the 4” Rough Country suspension lift system I want to eventually replace the tires with something that is not as tall and rides smoother. I’m in my late 60’s and it will...

I think I’ll also open the radiator cap and start the engine cold. If the thermostat is stuck open, the water should be visible circulating in the radiator.

Wow, what an explanation. Very thorough and understandable, thank you. I’ll check for leaks tomorrow. I also checked my antifreeze reservoir, cold, and it was at the “full” mark, but there could still be a slow leak, I assume. Great advice by all, thanks. I’ll post the solution as soon as I...

Sure have. No smell or leaking fluids. I pretty much assumed your response, but thanks. When I get home, if it’s still on, I may have the local mechanic I use check it out for me.

Straight up as it has since I’ve had the Jeep. I don’t know what the actual degree number would be.

I need a reliable and quick response to my concern. My check engine light is on and I checked for the code. It shows me the P0128 code related to the coolant system running low temperature. I read somewhere that the risk is low, but should get it checked out within a month. My problem is I’m...

Has anyone switched from a hard top to a soft top on a JK model and if so, what are your thoughts on advantages/disadvantages? Best brand, recommendations, costs, etc?

All I know is if you order a unit from Best Buy, you’ll get it installed for free. They did mine and did a great job. Also installed the center spare tire backup camera for free.

I purchased a JVC model KW-M750BT radio and center spare tire backup camera from Best Buy with free installation for my 2017 Wrangler Unlimited Sport. I need to take it back tomorrow for them to install a SiriusXM satellite radio tuner cable which was not available until this week.

Good suggestion, thanks.

I can’t tell, the carpet is just damp. There’s no color or smell to it. I think it’s water, but where from? I think I’ll pull my carpet back, drive it again and see if I can see where it’s coming from. Thanks for your Interest.

If this is the drain, which I believe it is, it’s clear of any blockage.
