Replying to: jow1998 (Feb 10, 2008 4:32 pm) I'd check to see if any wiring running to the motor has any tears or exposed wiring. I suspect either your ground is loose/off or your wiring is chafed and hitting exposed metal.   Getting to the motor is VERY easy. Lift hood. Remove all 7 or so small screws holding the cowl cover on (may have to peel back a bit of rubber from the front of the cowl to see the screws).   -Paul

if you are having brake 'warp' issues, you have a couple of options. First of all, warpage is either a true warping of the rotor from excessive heat or a simple buildup of brake pad material.   If you wheel offroad, forget slotted/drilled rotors. That will just be a home for mud. Another option would be to forget the OEM rotors and pads and just go aftermarket. Better rotors and pads will do a couple of things: provide better heat dissipation and provide better stopping (if you get decent stuff). The cool thing is that if you do it yourself, it will still be cheaper than dealer service (unless under warranty).   The problems I've heard about Jeep rotors, ESPECIALLY the 1999-2004 WJ Grand Cherokees (which I owned), is that the calipers are designed in such a way that they don't allow for effective heat dissipation.   A company called Vanco has marketed a braking solution for TJ's that I believe uses a Ford dual piston caliper that better dissipates the heat. but it also replaces the knuckle with a stronger design to stop flex under hard braking with larger tires, and uses a slightly bigger rotor. However, this kit is NOT cheap and really recommended for TJ's with larger tires (33's and up).   So, I would recommend aftermarket rotors and pads and see what that gets you.   -Paul Replies to this message: nworbekim (Feb 17, 2008 5:18 pm) nworbekim (Feb 17, 2008 4:27 pm) nworbekim (Feb 18, 2008 8:03 pm)

Replying to: jeep05 (Feb 13, 2008 4:01 am) I believe hella glass will fit also. May want to contact them about a replacement glass. If you are talking about the cover over the entire glass surface, check eBay for fog light covers.   -Paul

Replying to: jeep05 (Feb 13, 2008 10:06 am) Um, how do you figure it is a class action suit? I know several with 05 TJ's with both hard and soft tops. No issues with window seals leaking at all (Hard top) or moisture through the zippers on the soft top. My TJ is a 97 with soft top and it does not leak at all through the seals. I DO have a leak around the heater core, but I know what I need to do to fix that. $3.00 in parts will fix it.   It is a 2005 and probably still under warranty, have you had them look at it?   Soft top? Hard top? We talking about the rear window or the rear windows on the sides of the Jeep?   -Paul Replies to this message: goducks1 (Feb 17, 2008 7:19 am)

Replying to: erickpl (Feb 13, 2008 11:39 am) the only Jeep-related class action lawsuit that I am aware of is the exhaust-manifold one, and I don't know where that ever went, though I know some of us signed up for it here.

Replying to: erickpl (Feb 12, 2008 5:48 am) i've not had the problem with my wrangler yet, but i pull a 30 foot 5th wheel camper and my tow vehicle at that time had this rotor warp problem... i went thru several sets before a guy at a part place cued me in that it was the metallic type pads i was using... to hard for the rotors...   i started using a different type and no more warped rotors... this was several years ago though... i've changed vehicles since... no problems yet with the new one...
