    New to Jeep and need help with driving issues

    It’s amazing what fresh fluid will clear up when replacing tired and deteriorated old stuff.

    C123F steering angle sensor after track bar bushing change

    You need to take the vehicle in for a front end alignment. The steering wheel being off center is just a symptom.

    JKU overheating

    Can you feel flow thru the upper hose? Money’s on a bad ‘stat.

    Back up camera issue

    I’d download the radio’s wiring instructions and check that too.

    I always recommend Crutchfield for car audio stuff. Plug in your vehicle info and they’ll only offer up stuff that fits.

    Metal Key

    I believe you can lock/unlock it, but the security chip in the factory keys is required to start the vehicle.

    LED Headlights

    The SPLs I got from Amazon for $80 are no longer available there, but I don't regret the purchase one bit. They're much nicer than the OEM and like most, no flickering.

    If they’re not mechanics, I’m not surprised. Most “mechanics” are lacking diagnostic skills.

    Looking to go up in tire size on my JK

    And you own what year and model Jeep? What gear ratio in the axles?

    All windows stop working intermittently and randomly

    A broken wire somewhere in the harness. Get your multimeter out and start testing wiring. Probably between the fuse box and the main switch panel.

    Need help!

    OP changed the battery, so the clamps have been tightened, I hope. Diagnosing electrical issues without actually laying hands on is a crap shoot and simply throwing parts on is a bad idea. Seen too many bad parts come out of new boxes. Get a local Jeep mechanic involved.

    Easy 2” Lift With Shocks

    Skip the spacers, all they do is wear stuff out faster. Do the full spring/shock kit at 2.5" and call it good. You'll definitely appreciate the ride improvement. <- x-long time rider too. Idjit drivers nowadays scared me off the touring stuff. Too beat up to do dirt riding. :LOL:

    Electrical Accessories

    If you really want organized switches for controlling the accessories - SPOD. Once connected up, adding stuff is piece o'cake.

    Installing lights on new bumper

    Identify the brand, contact them for the lights, hence the Amazon post naming the maker of the bumper. The hard work is done for you. :)

    Installing lights on new bumper

    Looks like an older NiLight Amazon bumper to me. Their new ones have square outer lights, but same center ones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WMT9XJM?tag=jkforum-20

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Increased the base value by filling the tank. :eek: Good news is the system's finally recalibrating the fuel usage for the regear. Up over 15mpg now. Not having to stuff your foot into it really helps.

    Darting

    JScan programmer, buy license then, check the gearing ratio to make sure it matches installed gearing, check the tire size settings, make sure the transmission has been reprogrammed to match up with gearing and do a chalk test on the tires for air pressure. I'd start the test with the tires...
