Truck was totaled and insurance giving me enough to want to move on. My wife wants a newer car as well. So with that in mind, it has 262K on it, drives typical for such. Damage pushed the bumper in, but no leaks or damages to systems. Looks very much to be repairable to the extent that it...

How far can one drive on interstate with minimal turning with a bad rack? Non OEM seals are leaking both sides Very little if any power assist. Thanks

Very timely message. Any shop recommendations near Homewood, AL? My daughter’s 2000 limited has a starter issue approx 245K miles currently and she is a student at Samford. Replaced the alternator earlier this year. I have the contact parts for the starter but can’t get down there until next...

This condition existed on my 2000 Limited a while back. The switches referenced above were the cause of the problem. Apparently, if not put into 4wd periodically, these switches have a tendency to stick. I removed them, and worked the spring loaded switch ball in and out with some lubricant...

I am in need of an assist. My daughter has her 2000 unlimited at Sanford University and called this evening regarding a noise she describes as a failing bearing on one of the belt driven applications. Is anyone near there willing to assist with a diagnosis, or make recommendation of a...

I bought two of these, both 2000s for two of my kids first vehicles. Both going strong to date. Both have 230K plus miles and have been thru the maintenance update with buying used per guidance on this forum. I find working on them therapeutic. Have need for a third and looking. You did good!!

This happened recently with my 2000. If leaking at the sunroof seal, shouldn’t this water travel down the drain tubes before spilling over and getting to the headliner provided they are clear and not blocked?

Ramonortiz55’s writeup is a solid reference for this project as well.

Watch Tim’s videos and it will answer 99.9% of any questions or details related to the VCG or other projects he has documented. I search his YouTube site for whatever topic as a first step on all my projects. It’s pretty simple to do. Good luck.

That was very interesting to watch having replaced all injectors a few months ago based on the 302 code. Amazing what can be done with the proper diagnostic tools. Thanks for posting

I just completed your exact project using Motorwest replacement injectors and it was seamless. No issues, and truck has been running very smooth since. Took the opportunity to replace Valve cover gaskets and refresh the covers with a nice paint job at the same time. Kept my injectors and intend...

Seems to have been the #2 injector. I replaced all 6 injectors and took the opportunity to do the valve covers while I was in there. Both injectors and valve cover gaskets were easily done. Thanks to all the encouragement along the way. Special thanks to Tim and his videos. Watched them both...

Lil Caesar, thank you for the reply. No loss of coolant, zero smoke, and no smell. The plug was very dry in appearance. How do you check the wire? I only know ohms test for continuity,and iamsureitwillshow continuity. Thanks.

Truck went from running smooth to rough, with CEL and P0302 code. I read several post from search to get some basic understanding of the problem. I swapped #5 and #1 coil packs, and 0302 remained. Cleared once again, then swapped #2 and #4 plugs, noting #2 was bone dry upon removal. p0302...

I have searched and read most all available threads dealing with the locked transmission and lack of brake lights. Have checked the fuse, good. Swapped the relay, no difference. Removed the brake light switch, and it test as good. (The switch has a closed and open circuit that changed when the...
