Any thoughts on what is preventing it from closing completely?
I would like to remove my factory cross rails on my 2006 Grand Cherokee luggage rack. I want to install Yakima cross pieces so that I can use my old mountain bike trays. Any ideas?
There is a large knob that can be removed. Once you do this a bottom flat latch falls loose but is still held by a clip on the outer part of the rail. I can’t figure out how to release the outer part of the clip. It would be best if I could remove them and then put them back on if I ever sell the jeep.
Ideas are welcome. Happy trails.

While it had the clearance, shifting into four wheel drive required consulting the owner's manual. I reviewed it quickly and planned to avoid trying to use it. After driving Toyotas and Nissans off-road for 25 years, the jeep shifting system is the most confusing I've seen. I looked underneath for the skid plates. Might have been one under the oil pan but not on the transfer case or the gas tank. I didn't bother looking under the front, but doubt the bottom of the radiator was protected either. I started on a bumpy dirt road and found its handling to be very unsure. I slowed down my pace to avoid control problems. No mud flaps so there were a couple rock chips in the side. My Nissan Frontier Nismo runs circles around this vehicle. I'd rather take our 1998 Toyota 4Runner with 120K miles off-road than this b.s. "trail rated" Jeep. Even our 04 Nissan Armada is more off-road ready (I added all optional skid plates), although a bit large for many places.
Thanks but no thanks to the Jeep. - 81 Trekker

Thanks in advance
Please help.
Anyone done this and seen any adverse/positive effects?
I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Since February of 2005, I changed a crankshaft position sensor within 5 months of each other, then a cam sensor 4 months later and now 6 months later the crankshaft position sensor. I have also changed the input speed sensor. Does anyone have any explanation why these sensors keep going bad?
Any suggestions appreciated
It refers to the WJ-series Grand Cherokee but the fault codes remain the same.

3-4 shift malfunction. The mechanic has not been able to pinpoint what's causing the problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The dealership naturally, is "unable to duplicate my complaint" therefore they cannot fix it. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
"Imagine this: You are driving 75 miles per hour down the highway in your new 2006-model listening to Steve Miller’s Greatest Hits —suddenly the engine management system or the stability control fails. Not only could you be in a serious or possibly fatal accident, but the car manufacturer’s reputation could be in jeopardy if you aren’t the only one in a similar situation.
Neutron-induced errors have significant implications for mission-critical automotive applications that utilize an SRAM-based FPGA. Existing detection techniques, reliant on reading back FPGA configuration at regular intervals, do nothing to prevent the error within the system."
Cosmic rays damage automotive electronics
Maybe Tides can translate and explain the gist of the article to us. :shades:

Basically, it means that all ICs (integrated circuits) are susceptible to damage by radiation and neutrons pass through most materials fairly easily. Among other things, cosmic rays crashing into the atmosphere generate neutrons. More prevalent and larger ICs translates to greater vulnerability to neutron damage.
The article is taking the "fault tolerant" approach meaning they are trying to find a way to correct the damaged bits - after the fact. However, it overlooks the obvious solution of embedding the chips in paraffin or polyethylene, materials that are rich in hydrogen which stops neutrons efficiently.

Got this error code but cannot seem to find on the web how to fix the problem.:mad: Does anyone have any ideas ?
Thank you so much
