Jeep Talk / Consumer Reports
November 21, 2014, 07:32:06 AM
I just read a report from Consumer Reports that all the Jeep vehicles took up spots on the worst 15 cars to own.  That's probably why the garbage disposal they said was the best broke the first year I had it.  Then the second one broke.  Then I bought a dryer they said was the best.  That cost about $250 to fix the fourth year I had it.

Sounds like it's time to sell it to someone else in the spring

I might be interested in selling a blend door in the spring.  That's about it. 

I have to have a Jeep to be part of this group and you guys are so awesome...........Can't sell the Jeep!

As a follow up.  Has anyone removed the blend door actuator and physically turned the blend door with a pair of pliers on the little white spacer/grommet?  I took my actuator off and it turned extremely hard.

Tech Talk / Heat not very hot

I am new to the club (will be joining December 7) but I'm hoping I can pick a few brains.  Now that it's really cold out I've been trying to get heat out of my jeep and its lukewarm at best.  Here's what I've done:

1.  I've found that the air didn't blow on the floor at all.  I found a vacuum line off one of the vacuum thingys that changed the direction of airflow.  Now that works.
2.  I flushed the heater core.  What came out was not too dirty at all.  Looked like antifreeze.  I was able to blow through the large hose and could feel it come out of the small hose so there shouldn't be any obstructions.

The temp gauge reads 210 so I don't think the thermostat is the problem.

I can turn the cool/heat dial and feel the temperature change from luke warm to cold.  The little electric motor everyone talks about freezing up must we working if it changes the temperature.

Any suggestions as to where to go next?

Gearing up for our January "Operation: Snowbound" event, we will be making one last trip up to Grayling on Saturday December 13th to finalize routes so we will be all set for January.

We will also be heading over to Play at Rocks & Valleys in Harriosn on Sunday the 14th. 

Some of us will be making one or the other as a day trip, some are making a weekend of it and doing both.  Guests are welcome as long as you have front snd rear tow points.  Complete details are on the members only forums but if you are interested in attending either trip as a guest, shoot me a pm and I will keep you in the loop.


What time is everyone meeting up on the 13th?  Maybe I could make a day trip out of it.  I assume you're meeting at the Ramada Inn?

The Lounge / New house ???

So we've been really thinking about moving and we got an offer tonight on our 36FT boat.  My wife asked Paige (8 year old) if we moved how she would decorate her room.  She said "it would be with Jeeps and mud color"......How proud can I be?

I see.  That's fine.  I just really hope they fix it by keeping production in the US.

We aren't.  She just wants to go to the pet store.  For a mete hundred bucks (insert sigh) we can do a birthday party at the puppy store and everyone gets to play with the puppies.

I think for the money they make on the new Wranglers, they can afford to re-tool Toledo just fine.  Typical Corporation.  If it works, lets fix it.
