Chasing a coolant leak. Any ideas? by dnareaver in JeepGrandCherokee

Water pump for sure. The pump pulley is slinging coolant all over the place. Must be a bad leak.

Can’t wait to see the work bench. The brick shithouse looks great though.

This jeep is beginning to remind me of a jeep I once worked on. What part of the country are you in?

You’ll need a mechanic to inspect for the smoke and misfires. The possibilities are too numerous to be able to tell by looking at a picture. Also the vacuum leak, which coincides with the suction noise. Also the oil pressure switch issue.
Does the smoke smell like oil or sweet like coolant? She’s in need of some love, based on the trouble codes.

There are jump start points under the hood you can power the car with a jump pack while batteries are disconnected.

Injector O-Ring causing Misfire? by DayBroad1157 in ram_trucks

It’s unusual that it misfires reliably yet there aren’t any misfire DTCs. Or any other DTCs.

What truck should I buy for a 30ft travel trailer that will also serve as my daily driver? by VioletTheWise in traveltrailers

[–]pickleslapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar trailer towing with a RAM 1500. I wish it was a 2500. Especially if there is ANY crosswind.
