    Went in for recalls to be fixed and the dealer tried to get me to pay almost 2k in service

    At the price local to me from "my spot" there's no doubt its worth paying someone. Time = money and my time is limited. What Im saying is that bottom line, NO ONE should go to the dealer unless they have a warranty. But that's just my opinion. Ive yet to personally visit any dealer in my state...

    Went in for recalls to be fixed and the dealer tried to get me to pay almost 2k in service

    One of the best things about living where I do is that I can find cheap labor. There's a place that did my brakes and new rotors, before I learned to do them myself, for $245. That was 2 years ago. They only do brakes, tire changes, rotations, plugs and patches. Nothing else. Going to check my...

    These scumdealers make so much dough on brake service. $1200 is insane!

    Evap leak video (need confirmation)

    CEL RESOLVED- Thankfully, it's been a couple of weeks now and my small leak (P0456) code has disappeared. If it wasn't the replacement hose that goes from the purge valve to the air intake that I replaced ($45!!) then it was reversing the seal around the gas cap and lubricating it that fixed the...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Perfect stance TJ imo.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    My aluminum *gear looks like shyt too. Curious, how did you clean them? My guess would be to use a Brillo pad, then wipe it down with fluid film. Also, I replaced my wiper motor this Sunday. EDIT: just remembered that I went on a rant about my wiper motor earlier in this thread. So I deleted my...

    Code P0302

    Keep us posted, please! This is always very useful information for 3.6 users. Hope the CEL stays away. For good!

    3 thermostats in 6 months

    Oh shyt, another thing to 'worry' about possibly haunting me. I hope someone chimes back with some positive results and repair solutions.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    When am I not doing something w my JK? This weekend in a downpour, my wipers stopped working. Still under warranty, I removed the motor and took it in for a swap. This is the 4th one that will be replaced since it was new in 2013. The current one (provided its not a deeper issue) will be the 4th...

    If it in fact is shot I plan to replace it with a Dorman. I know we should stick w OEM but have had fantastic luck w Dorman on my TJ.

    Going to try this. Just wish I knew how to remove the damn electrical connection. EDIT: I see you said I can keep it plugged in. Wasn't sure I was able to do that, so I will try. And for the record the CEL is back on again. Its now been cycling every refuel. Ive yet to fill my tank to the top...

    Ya, I got under mine and looked at it, tried to remove the electric plug with no luck (2013) likely corrosion. Left it alone and a few drives later the code shut off. Its a freakin mystery.

    P0456 and it just popped back up couple days ago. Was thinking gas cap. Comes and goes (cycles) and for full transparency, I glued my gas cap and perm stopped it from clicking. Was a suggestion I saw on Youtube which seemed to work and helped for a while to clear the code. Seal is probably just...

    Intermittent cylinder 4 misfire

    @Fistlaw Appreciate the update. 🙏 Very sorry to hear. Certainly beats buying another used Jeep that'll come with surely its own 'issues'. And new— I personally cannot stand the push button start and dual battery setup.

    UPDATE: Don't know how this cleared my code but I started using Exxon/Mobile, BP and Shell regular fuel and the light went off after a few drives. Knock on wood, it came back one time for maybe 10 miles and hasn't returned. I also now shut off my Jeep when I gas up. Another interesting thing is...
