Is that the light that comes on after a preset number of miles? Stupid module under the dash that only the dealer replaces?


On topic, sorta, I haven't done it to my XJ yet but I pulled an almost totally rust free fuel rail, the little plastic cap for injector wiring harness, and 6x Ford XF2E-C4B injectors for $20 Hope the one that fell in the mud still works lol

One new rear lift gate shock (pic 1). I guess they decided this was a better design (old one pic 2). Old one still worked but it would pop off at the top.

Fixed rear hatch open lever also. It would not open with out a lot of effort and attempts. I took off the rear hatch plastic cover and noticed a metal rod that you can adjust to make the lever work better. Opens now on first try every time. A little oil helped.

I guess it comes on every 80k miles to get the O2 sensor replaced. That's all i can find out on google.

Just found out my mom's WK has no steering fluid. Good thing i gave it a checkup, we're taking it on a log trip tomorrow.

And of course modern Jeep making it impossible to service their vehicles, i can only get the steering fluid from MOPAR. Over-engineered POS.

Finally worked up the nerve to take the XJ on a long trip (about 90 miles round trip) It drove like a top the whole way

The rocker is still there... And there as close as you can get them with this hit/dent
