Dash lights run through a dimmer located in the big headlight switch. Probably a poor connection.

Alrighty. Time to crawl underneath and find what's loose. Might take quite a bit of shaking with your hands.
The back of the can states 1/3. No matter what size engine in vehicle. It also shows for smaller engines like lawn mowers and weedeaters have different instruction. If one buys a product is assume they read the instructions. Especially when it involves dumping chemicals into a major vehicle component.

Naah. Today's parents wait for it to trickle down to Dora The Explorer and have their kids explain it to 'em. Or if the kids are older, Yahoo Answers

Factory U bolts? Why don't you just buy a new set? Those things are supposed to be reused 0-1 times

Disconect battery. Touch 2 cables together. Let stand for 30 min. Plug airbag in. Hook battery back up.

my 2001 jeep sport Cherokee has and idling problem. everything is stock on the car and it only happens when to engine is warmed up to the normal 210 on the gauge then it starts to choke out, jump and almost stall when I don't rev the engine what could it be? its really aggravating.

it runs fine once I start driving it around.

Yeah they are the factory U-bolts for my 91 with the 35. I know they shouldn't be reused and I won't when I get new leaf springs one day. I havent taken them off... I just need to know what thread they are so I can get a nut to go on top of the existing nut. I have a bracket for my softline (disc) that I drilled to fit over the remaining ubolt thread. I need to bolt it down, which just needs a nut.

Any codes picked up by a scanner? Hard to believe there's no CEL

Rust, someone didn't do a cut and fold right, someone did a cut and fold and cut up too high.
