    Passenger airbag

    I have been removing the dashboard on my 2011 JK to replace the heater core. I have searched the YouTube videos and any write-ups and I have come up empty handed on how to get the passenger airbag out. I have separated every clip and the bag still seems to be held by something directly in the...

    Cherokee stalls at start-up

    My cherokee stalls 2-3 times after starting and then runs great. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, air fitler. The vacuum lines are clean as a whistle.

    starter relay

    The manual calls it a starter solenoid, the parts place calls it a starter relay. I think it looks like a relay. In any event, the jeep would not start the other day so I had it towed home. I tried starting it, and the red/black wire from the relay got so hot it melted the wire cover. My...

    oil pan gasket trick?

    I have an 89 cherokee 4.0 liter engine. a few weeks ago I replaced the gasket on the oil pan with a friends help. Everything went fine exept that I was worried that the rubber seal at the back was pushed out toward the flywheel. Sure enough leaked like the Exxon valdez. Round 2 was today with...
