I don’t have enough tools in the toolbox to work on a jeep Cherokee KL. Looking at the descriptions of tools online I see the following. Etorx Female Etorx External Torx Torx Torx plus EP torx plus E torx plus A few more names with sockets that look similar. Some are flat. Some are concave...

I never gave it much thought until I noticed the dedicated power cord used to charge and maintain the Escalade in storage was getting distorted. It’s a batteryminder 1500 connected to the wall outlet in the garage with whatever gauge that cord that is. I’ve never seen a cord do that before...

I have a Milwaukee 1/2 impact but I wanted something smaller so I purchased the HF Hercules 3/8. I really like the auto mode. Very balanced and quiet. Spins bolts off fast, but then slows down perfectly. Surprisingly quiet. But… I’m tortured by that small ring on the tip getting sockets...

On this catch can the baffle is located on the “In” side coming from the PCV valve. Is that the right spot? It seems like it should be on the out? Or is there another reason they put it on that side. Maybe to protect from the stainless steel filter media going back into the engine?

Researching AGM battery chargers I found this statement in many places.. “The charging current for an Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery should be between 10 and 25% of the battery's capacity. For example, a 12V 100 Ah AGM battery should be charged with a 12V battery charger with a current...

Today I found what other equinox and terrain owners warn about. A PCV hose frozen with moisture. Supposedly when this hose freezes it can blow out the rear main seal, cause oil consumption, etc. The fix for many is an oil catch can. But wait, this isn’t oil blow by this is water and...

Would like to change the PTU fluid in my 2019 Cherokee Limited with Active Drive 1. Has anyone tried that? Is it possible without removal?

I’ve been using this pump sprayer for winter applications of salt away. Works good for that. I would also like to use it like a foam cannon on the undercarriage, if that’s possible. Are there any foaming spray nozzles I can get that fit this type of sprayer?

Picked up a 2013 equinox 2.4 a month ago. Had a few minor issues so the price was right. Repaired, all was good until I tried the heat. Just blows cold. Further investigation, I see the blend door actuator is unplugged. Ordered a new OEM blend door actuator. Installed, performed a calibration...

Husky has 2 small air compressors that look similar, same price, but one is 12 V and one is 120 V. Which one should I get? The Cherokee does have a 120 V outlet.

I need help. The blower motor on our 2005 Chevrolet Classic will only work on level 5, the max setting. What I’ve done so far: 1) Replace blower motor resistor 2) Replace control panel 3) Replace blower motor None of these repairs solved the problem. Assumption is the relay is good because...

My 2019 Cherokee with a Chrysler 3.2 has some annoying dry starts. I assume that’s due to the cartridge filter set up with no anti-drain back. Is there a cartridge filter that has ADB or does a better job holding oil in the filter housing?

Emergency repair on a 2003 maxima. Transmission pan rotted through. Went to O’Reilly picked up a Dorman transmission pan and a Fel-Pro gasket. There was a time that Fel-Pro was the go to gasket. I’m not so sure anymore, check this out. First pic is the OEM gasket sitting on the old pan. The...

Anyone use Salt Away? I purchased some to put in a cheap 1 gallon pump garden sprayer. Spray it on the undercarriage. Does it work? Am I spraying something that may be corrosive to remove salt? What does remove mean if the instructions say don’t rinse Salt Away off?

2019 Cherokee Limited. Want to use my 3 ton floor jacks to lift at the pinch welds. They are beefy. The rubber pinch weld pads I use on other vehicles are too wide to fit on the pinch weld because of the molding. So I was looking at metal ones. They will fit. But i’m not sure if metal is a good...

I want to get a new 2” hitch bike rack. I would like something that doesn’t sway around too much. Preferably not touch the vehicle with straps. Easy to load and unload. The options are hanging and platform. Can somebody tell me which is better and why?

I want to spray a cleaner on aluminum parts of the engine undercarriage and drivetrain that will not cause aluminum corrosion and pitting. I read all over the Internet how dawn dish soap is non-corrosive and PH neutral. This is the label from Dawn Ultra platinum I have in the house. Looks like...

I want to change the ATF in the 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited with 50k. I don’t like the way it behaves when it’s cold and other times. I sent an email to Amsoil and they recommended “OE Fuel-Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid” which has been tested in the ZF 948TE. Before I purchase...

New to me 2019 Cherokee Limited 3.2. 49k. Lease return. The test drive went well. Nice and smooth. But the day after I got it home I started experiencing something strange. I get a lot of vibration, shaking, and what could best be described as a wobble first drive in the morning. Substantial to...
