    2004 Grand Cherokee stalling/shutting down

    There is an easier access point to the side of the gas pedal from inside the vehicle.Saves a lot of time after removing some console and interior panels.CPS at auto parts store $20-$50 ,Mopar part $140.Got the mopar.No such things as a cheap repair anymore.I should have tried to do it myself

    Brain fart while removing Alpha drive

    I have only done this flawlessly approx 30 times.Removed my alpha drive yesterday and cant believe I forgot to put shifter in full fwd.The drive came off easily as it always does.So I am assuming it is only critical to have it in full fwd when installing and when removing not critical.??

    Had the CPS (crank position sensor) changed out and problem solved.It is in a rediculous place and needs 2 persons to do it,It is accessed from the drivers side floor up by the heater vent.You can buy a CPS anywhere from $12 to a Mopar $140.For a simple install sensor I would buy a couple...

    Long Period of Storage

    If you did a full winterizing correctly including changing out all lubricants and greasing all grease and lube points,there shouldnt be much to surprise you.One of my concerns would be impeller unless as I stated you did a "full and complete" winterization.If you have not already changed the...
