Default My jeep is broke...

I got a jeep and don't know what's wrong. Can you tell me what's wrong and how to fix it.

I also don't know how to search or use google, so can you find all the websites I need and link them here so all I have to do is click on them.

But I don't know anything about cars so you'll have to re-explain everything on the write-up to me again in this thread.

Not sure what year it is or how to explain what's wrong, but surely you can diagnose it over the Internet.

Thank you for doing all the work for me!

...hopefully people get the joke, lol.

Clean your electrical contacts, tighten your flex plate bolts, and actually LOOK to see where your jeep is leaking rather than assuming its the RMS.

I've been a member for a while, but I have a low post count because I find most of my answers through search or google, it's too easy, haha.

Search doesn't work when using the forum app. If they fixed that and us mobile users could actually search the forums then it might reduce a lot of clutter.

And before anyone says to use a computer...internet isnt available by me yet unless it's crappy satellite internet.

Do you have that just ready to copy paste? lol

Look, listen, touch, smell and sometimes taste...just for fun. Check, clean, double check, test, change, test again, rinse and repeat.

On an iPhone, I click on the ...More button on the bottom right and I can search by keyword. Maybe it's different on an android device or something.

There's a search button but every search yields zero results.

Haha...not yet

Your comment hits the nail on the head. Seems no one wants to go out and actually look, listen, touch, smell, and taste. You learn so much just by rolling around under your rig and getting a little grease under your finger nails, in your eyes, butt crack, etc. Way more problems get solved by using your five senses under your hood rather than your ten fingers on a keyboard
