    Latest PCM Upgrade 1U7A-12A650-GMB for the 2002-2005 4.0L SOHC

    I just did mine today. Cost $108 in Lynbrook, NY. the thing is they did not tell me the upgrade code/number, but they told me it was 5 or 6 updates for engine mgmt and the tranny. So far I've noticed little difference in shifting (up shifting), also shifting into reverse seems to be a little...

    knocking kind of sound when braking

    Quote: "Mine does too, I always wondered if it was the same sort of "tug" felt when coasting sometimes that we were discussing in another thread..." I don't think whatever was happening to my Ex was a "tug". Mine was a loud "knock" maybe even "thud" before I installed new pads correctly...

    knocking kind of sound when braking

    Update After driving a day and a half, it seems there still is a faint "knock". It's not as loud, heck I would say it's very quiet now. I wonder if because the pads being installed the way they were, maybe the pins got screwed up?

    knocking kind of sound when braking

    Found The source. Problem solved So... as it turns out a"heck" of the mechanic that worked on my brakes, installed rear pads wrong. Left side on right, or maybe I should say opposite. So the "u" groove was on top instead bottom. Just hope it did not screw up anything else.

    "Clicking" Sound

    I guess I was lucky like that. Found the problem soon enough, so I did not have to replace my rotor(s)

    "Clicking" Sound

    Yup, mysteries of driving... So my 04 X developed kind of clicking sound coming somewhere from the wheels, when driving slow (10-15 mph). After checking suspension a mechanic sent me home saying "nothing is wrong..". Few weeks later sound became louder and more obvious, so I went back. After a...

    Door ajar.... but its not!

    I've had the same problem in mine '04. Most probably it's broken Ground wire inside the boot, between driver door and door jam. If you want to fix it yourself, you have to take off door panel (3 screws) and speaker, take off the boot (some electrical tape holds it to the harness ), splice in...

    I wanna add remote start - go with factory system or aftermarket?

    Viper alarm/starter will keep all your remote features and it's a good security investment. I'll be getting one possibly next week. Not sure about the price yet.
