1997 jeep cherokee why does my electric radiator fan continue to run after i shut off the engine, remove the key, and allow it to cool? i have to unplug it to get it to stop.

yup, i do have a aluminum tube pocket flashlight on my keys. that may be the culprit. flamers get the PIMPHAND

so you think that the voltage regulator isnt polarizing the alternator rotor at start up? well its raining now, when it clears up i will try to figure out what is going on with it. it hasnt malfunctioned in 3 days now but i am pretty sure it needs to be inspected to avoid future problems. you...

"What spark coming from the battery ???? What's that all about ?? Superstud, eh ... let me talk to your wife a minute for a second opinion." what the #@$%!, you call me moron after this guy's szchizophrenic post. it may have been slightly unintelligible but at least he tried to offer some...

it idles normally. it seems to only do this upon first start up in the morning. i see the voltage begin to drop so i shut it down. i restart it and the voltage rises back to normal and stays there with no problem. i was thinking the belt might be loose and hence not engaging the alternator...

1997 jeep cherokee 4.0l. sometimes when i start it and let it run the volts guage runs downward as if the alternator is not working and spark is coming from the battery. so i shut it down and restart it and the voltage goes back to normal as if nothing is wrong. i recently replaced the accessory...

i have a 97 cherokee 4.0 and it ticks too. its really loud at start up but as it reaches operating temperature it gets quieter and is only noticeable in the 1150-1300 rpm range. sonds kind of like a rattle that speeds up with rpm increase. i believe it is a stuck valve lifter. going to try...

and pp come in a shiny silver container

ok got it, low additive oil works best. so oil with higher detergents, dispersants, or seal swellers is a no go with auto-rx. what about a 5w20 weight being used instead of a 5w30? i understand that 5w20 flows slightly better at operating temperature. would this mean better cleaning since it...

not to assume that frank is a big time mobil hater, i'm sure he's very unbiased in his methods. mobil hating just seems to be contagious in this community.

what is wrong with the mobil5000? too much detergent or just more mobil-hating on frank's part? i'll probably go with the cheapest, which seems to be castrol gtx. is gtx good?

would using a dino 5w20 as opposed to a 5w30 oil be better when using auto-rx? considering 5w20 will have more flow and reach more trouble areas than the 5w30. i was considering mobil5000 or pennzoil 5w20.

i switched from m1 to gc in my 2007 corvette and the engine exploded 2 days later!!! is this proof that i'm retarded?

not concerned so much about correct fluid, check the manual, duh. most applications call for ps fluid or atf. this post is to determine the difference in performance between these two options.
