Hey there! I am Alexis (aka "Ally" or just "Al")! I'm new to Alabama, originally from Memphis, TN and I just stumbled across this forums for Jeep's! Wish I knew of it sooner!!
I am the proud parent of a 2003 KJ Liberty Eagle whom I refer to only as "LuLu". She has been running strong for the past 3.5 years that I have had her, although she has lately decided to throw some tantrums!! I will post more about them in the appropiate section though so I don't look like a total NEWB in the Welcome section!
This isn't my first rodeo with a beloved vehicle going all Terrible Toddler on me although she is NOTHING like "Big Burtha" (my 1992 Chevy Camaro) that I maintnanced myself for 6 glorious years before she died at the hands of my mechanically challenged ex-husband (no, unfortunately THAT wasn't the grounds of our divorce, LOL!! 
).... I do most of the repairs, although I leave the Oil Changes to the professionals - totally backwards, I get it, and it's not because I don't want to get dirty, LuLu has rained all KINDS of stuff on me these past week and it's kind of triumphant feeling when I have to take 2 showers and 3 hours to look normal again, as well as prideful, of course. OK, you get it, I'll shut up now 
Anyways, I hope to be able to get my LuLu running properly again, so feel free to put your two cents in on my 2nd post! It won't come until later though, so be patient - I know you're just as eager as me to solve the Riddle! If you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated! Help a girl out and don't make her have to admit defeat by a JEEP for the first time? and for God's sakes PLEASE help to ensure that I don't have to go pay for a repair?
I am about to turn 30 and my "good looks" just aren't gonna cut it for much longer for getting fair pricing, and let's face it - my hugs just aren't that great either (I actually DID get a brand new TIRE one time for a hug, it DOES happen! LOL). Thanks!
