Worked on the Crank Sensor. PITA! Could not get enough room for leverage (until I disconnected the front driveshaft). Bolts are still tight and it was getting dark so I PB blasted the bolts in fear of breakage and decided to work on it later.

Just when things couldn't get any more annoying. The jack slipped when I was letting it down an F'n bent my oil pan!!:censor ed:

drove to therapy, had tendon surgury on my ankle in july, after appt had to jump start a doctors cadilliac. he couldnt find the battery that was under his back seat. threw me a 20 cause he thought his car didnt have a battery. haha.
then thought my 15yr old cherokee didnt have enough power to do it.
some people act like they live under a rock!
so basicly i tested my charging syst. passed with flying colors!!!

New (junkyard off grand cherokee) coil springs on the front today. I can no longer push on the hood and make it hit the bump stops
it rides so nice.
Now i just need to redo my leaf springs. pull them apart and put something between them to stop them from squeaking and add in one more leaf to make everything level
