Re: Jeep Grand Cherokee headlights
 

I'd like people to know that I don't like American cities either. I grew up
close to Boston, I spent lots of time in New York and Seattle, and the one
time I went to L.A. it just gave me the willies. There are places here I
like, but I have already moved all my stuff to Silverton, and bought the
empty lot next to mine, to keep Californicators and Texans from building
there. :-) (Although to be fair, the latest wave of refugees seems to be
from Indiana, Missouri, places like that, that I always used to think of as
rural too.)

Do they laugh a lot, when you say "pedacito"?

Hi Earle,
I see it means small piece, I thought I was saying little bit, it
still worked.
We miss the picture of yourself on your front lawn of weeds you
call wild flowers, you ever going to put that up again?

"Poquito". (Pronounced "poe-kee-toe" because of insane Spanish spelling
rules.) If you ask for "pedacito" in the wrong settings, it is hard to tell
what you are going to get.

I have a new lawn now, but the neighbors don't care. They use the proper
term for it, "wildflowers". ;o)

Re: Jeep Grand Cherokee headlights
 

Hi All,
The headlights on my GTA 2002 Grand Cherokee are not what they once were.(neither are my legs).Repair people have suggested sandblasting the lenses (not convinced that would work).Should I buythe lens assembly,both passenger and driver (with lamps therein),and be done with it?.I'll keep the Jeep for years yet,with some 160,000 on it now.

Engine misfiring,

My 2002 Grand Cherokee had a history of engine misfiring.At least 5 dealers had a crack at it,as I travel a lot.
A young mechanic at Craig Hind Chrysler in Scarborough diagnosed it at an inorrect splicing of the connection to the remote starter.

After 6 months,I may not have a remote starter,but my 4.0L engine has never run better.
