When you close the doors do they latch on the first latch or the second? Close them softly and the latch should latch one time, and if you push it more it should latch a second time. If they only latch once you need to move the stricker out. If they latch 2 times you need to move it in. This is...

You couls go with a header and wrap it with a special tape made for them. race car drivers use that tape on thear headers. the headers are also not cast like an exhaust manafold is so it should do better in the wet conditions you like to play in. I have to agree with twisted about protecting the...

if it comes and goes it sounds like an electrical conection to me. check the wireing to the fuel pump if you have doubts but the fuel pump should not make the engine light come on with an o2 code. be carefull cleaning the sensors. chemicals could cause a failure. Check with outhers on here on...

Could you be getting bad fuel? If the scan came out as your o2 sensor and it comes and goes you might start bu checking your electrical connections for that system. maby clean them with a contact cleaner and then use a dielectric compound keep things sealed. If that don't work pull the sensors...

If the clear coat is not pealing it will not need to be removed. Paint will stick to paint and primer. paint is not designed with etching properties to stick to steel like a primer is. There is also different primers. Etching or "wash" primers, primer fillers, and primer sealers. They should be...

Paint has only 2 main uses. The main use is to prevent the metal from rust. The second is to make it look nice. If you are repainting to change the looks then just scuff the old paint with a scotch bright sanding pad "red" or 320 grit sand paper. you dont want to strip it to bare metal because...

Go to your local auto paint supplier and ask for a 3M catalog. you should find a product in there that is for spraying inside of frame rails. it is a waxy type of stuff that "migrates" to coat the entire inside of tha frame. make sure that you paint the outside first because paint will not stick...

My 04 rubicon get an average of 15 mpg with a stick and the a/c on all the time. The best I have ever got was 18 mpg but that dont happen often. a few times I have seen it as low as 13mpg. I check the mileage every time I fill it up.

Toyota had a recall on the head gaskets on that motor. I had a 94 that I built for my mother. It was a total when I got it. I put a new frame in it and a front clip. The truck was a good one. Had 100,000 on it when we got it and 270,000 when we got rid of it. I like Toyotas. I have had many and...

Yes, it could be a vacum leak. To find the leak check all vacum hoses. You can use wd40 to spray around the intake. If the idle changes when you spray you found a leak.

Lots of sand and swamp muck here. But travel is something I realy want to do.

I love to wheel and am looking into buying something I can pay cash for so that I can get a bit crazy. But until This thing is paied for ar at least veary close to it I kinda wanna keep it nice. I don't know about anyone else but it is hard to send off that monthly payment when you are the bread...

I got my Rubi because I liked it. I liked the way it looked. I liked the options it has. My Rubi is the first new vehical that I have ever owned and I am 32 years young. When It is paied off I will wheel it a bit harder, but for now I will use it to go to work and ride trails that are nice and...

I think that I am going to change to synthetic oil for my rubi's engine. After making that decision I began to think about gear oil's also. So I asked the service writer at the dealer how much it would cost to change the fluids in the rearends, trans, and transfer case. He told me that it...

Yesterday was a bad day for me and my Rubi. It was coming up on 9,000 miles and was time to schedule it for an oil change. I called the dealer and made an appointment for that day. About 2 hours later a coworker came to me and said that I should check my jeep for damage. "Why?", I asked. She...

One more lift question..... lifters pumping up too much? how is this possable? Who put the rings on the pistons? Were the ring gaps lined up or staggered? This is a somewhat common mistake. Most of the time the electrical conections will only go one place. keep looking and you will find they...

control arm rub Try the old hammer against the starter trick. A BFH is a good tool. lol. Just dont hit it too hard. A tap will work.

If this is true, "and it sounds good" then why do most vehicals use electric fans that pull?

LOCKING UP?
