    Cleaning Up Brake Fluid

    It is a lost cause, a very powerful organic based solvent. You could air it out, and you will reduce the smell overtime, but the color in your seats is "gone" and you wont be able to bring it back. Depending on how much leaked, you might be able to just deal with it, but if it was alot...

    Overheating Part II

    A few days ago I posted, and people suggested that my overheating was probably a bad thermostat and/or radiator being plugged. So I started with changing the thermostat today, with a Stant (13649) 195C thermostat, auto store said it was OE spec. Ran it for about 5 miles, could tell...

    Sounds to good to be true, go ahead and stop in if you live close by, but I bet there is a CATCH!

    Temperature Gauge - High

    203k miles , same radiator, etc.. except, I had the t-stat swapped about 2 years ago, didnt do it myself. Didnt realize there was a bunch of data being sent from the housing. Noticed on AAP website, that the housing looked different then my housing, BUT I have a Job 1 and I have had problems...

    Temperature Gauge - High

    Per I1tech, I started her up, she had sat for about 5 hours before hand, at idle, no heat/AC etc.. she did not overheat, I let her idle for about 20 minutes. Does this hint at a blocked radiator?

    Temperature Gauge - High

    Driving home today on the interstate, 80C day by the way in WI/IL, noticed my idiot light, and my temperature was maxed out. I turned the heat on full and blasted the fan, windows open and alot of sweating and the temperature gauge dropped to about normal running condition. Checked the...

    Noisy front-end during very cold temps

    Not sure if my experience is applicable as I have a 2001, but I had a similiar problem. Every bump, I would hear a loud rattle/squeak from the front end. If I just washed her, i.e. undercarriage powerwash, no rattles/squeaks until a few days later. The fix was worn ball joints, went with...

    drum brakes

    Just hit 200k, I know it is time to change the rear drum brakes in the 2001. Still original! I have done the front with no problem many times, but this weekend warrior is a little perplexed by the springs and part #s of the many websites I check. I am assuming I need to replace the brake...

    Transfer Case Motor Replacement

    2001, 4x4, Job 1, 192,000 miles Was engaging the 4x4 today, for my monthly massage of the system. Noticed it wouldnt go into 4x4 High right away, took about 1-2 min, the 4x4 High light would flash on then off a few times, then finally stayed on. Then I put it in 4x4 Low and that worked...
