Project Summer
I just picked me up my new baby. She ain't the prettiest but she'll get the job done. I'm calling her Summer for this reason - this has been the first summer I was single in 3 years (my choice) and it has been the greatest summer of my life.
Since it's Labor Day Weekend I won't be able to tag or insure it till Tuesday!
There is a noticeable sputter in the exhaust. When I looked at it it looked like Cata wasn't properly fitted and there was a gap between the Cata and pipe going into it. The rear differential has a little liquid on the bottom, I'm assuming a small leak as it doesn't pool when sitting. She's leaking oil somewhere, the guy said it was the oil pan. I'm going to take a look tomorrow. I'm going to go with the Low COG look with her.
This is my first Jeep and second vehicle over all! I'm stoked y'all!
Oh, also... whats this D OFF button do?
The back hatch glass doesn't open, think it's something to do with the linkage. The windows only go down/up when using driver door switches. The display occasionally flashes "Coolant Sensor Bad." Any suggestions on ways to tackle this would be great.
One last edit, she also sits about 1-2 inches higher than my dad's 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Could this just be his suspension sagging or what? The previous owner didn't lift it and it all looks stock to me.
