    What did you do to your JK today?

    Once I got done tinkering with the coolant situation, I had these to replace: And guess what? They work! My visors aren't flopping all over the place anymore. I had been using electrical tape wrapped around that steel pin, but saw these on Amazon for $6, so what the hell...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I'll preface my plan with this: I can't remember the last time, if there was a last time, I've ever heard my high speed cooling fan run. Started over the weekend, but I either never saw the temp rise, or I missed it before the fan kicked on high. Nevertheless, I took it out this morning and...

    Battery Cables

    There have been many questions regarding electrical issues posted in the forum and one of the most common replies goes back to the battery cables and the near universally accepted fact the OEM battery cables are garbage. So, my question is this, because I'm not sure if I've seen it addressed...

    Need help with spare tire lug nut key

    Exactly. And I had to mark one of the holes on each of the 5 wheels to line it up with the studs properly. Not fun trying to wrangle a 100lb wheel and tire to get it on the studs right.

    Need help with spare tire lug nut key

    I bought these after the tire shop rounded most of the originals. And, at almost 2" tall, they still fit under the axle caps to my wheels and they're easy to get a 3/4" socket on. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089D9L8G7?tag=jkforum-20

    ECT Drops 50° When Lifting Throttle

    I'm very familiar with an open t-stat. Easiest issue on a Jeep to rule out. An open t-stat will throw a code on JScan that says something like the engine is not operating up to the minimum temperature. Best way to confirm an open t-stat is to cold-start the Jeep and wrap your hand around the...

    Bad blend door actuator? No heat, lots of cold

    Sounds like a blend door actuator. Happened on my 2014 years ago when it was still under warranty. Could hear the clicking of the relay, but nothing worked except the AC. The shop charge was about $140, although it was covered by warranty, I saw what they were billing Stellantis for the work...

    Turning off the center console USB port

    A USB port, just like an unused electrical outlet in your house, does not draw electricity until the circuit is closed (plugging something into the outlet or plugging the phone into the port. Even leaving a USB cord in the port will not close the circuit. The phone closes the circuit and draws...

    Coolant leak

    My reservoir has 2 different max lines- one for cold and one for hot. These max lines tell you where the coolant level in the reservoir should be when the vehicle is hot or cold. If you filled it to the "hot" max line when it was cold, or vice versa, you're not properly filling the system. I do...

    Coolant leak

    Wait.... what/how filled the reservoir to the max? Can you please explain that a little more, because it reads like you're adding coolant via the reservoir?

    Coolant leak

    There's a chance it was over-filled? There are 2 separate hot and cold reservoir levels, have you checked both of them before driving (cold) and after driving (hot)?

    Coolant leak

    Where on the passenger side? Toward the front end, up near the radiator? Or, further back, closer to the firewall?

    Hardtop interior cleaning

    Wife pointed out mine were dirty, too. I just snarled.... her with her new Tahoe and the mobile detailing service she has to come and clean it a couple times a month.... how dare she? But, I have given some thought to painting the inside of the freedom panels- anyone tried that?

    Trying for a second key.

    So, when my fob got worn to the point it wouldn't work half the time, I simple ordered a key blank fob off Amazon, replaced the entire fob onto my old key and all is good. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BNPX4E4/?tag=jkforum-20

    What rear diff do I have?

    That same tag, near the oil fill plug, will say "LSD," as well as tell you what oil to use. If you're still unsure, just lift one wheel off the ground and see if it rotates (neutral, no e-brake) while the other is on the ground. The best way is to enter the VIN as shown in the post above. The...

    Water leaking after a rain or going through carwash

    I did that about 10 days ago or so, lol. Took a back road to cut through an area too close to the Tar River and had to crawl through high water. Took about 5 seconds to remember the driver's side plug was in the console. Brings up a question for those who may have an answer... If I pull all...

    Brackets on rear roll bar

    My 2014 JKU hardtop doesn't have these. Your picture shows a hardtop as well, do you know if the vehicle was factory delivered with a hard or soft top?
