Hello,my 2006 jeep commander transmission is driving in limp mode and only engages gears 1&2,before going into limp mode. The ones I saw worked but not all the functions worked on the transmission so I want to order online (if I don't see an exact fit) but I don't know what this part is called. It is located beneath the steering column and controls the transmission. I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks

Truth be told, you will hardly get as much feel great feeling from modern production cars as you would get from classic cars. i love american muscle cars and i cannot bring myself to buy a modern muscle car. they all look alike and they are too refined unlike the classics, they are unique and their 'unrefined' driving dynamics will put a smile on anyone privileged enough to sit in the car. Dream classics to own are 1978-79 Ford mustang shelby gt500 eleanor and the Porsche 911(have not yet decided on the model year-still carrying out my research)  |

GAZZUZZ: pulse for the injectors and coils come straight from the Engine Ecu, when it fails and it is clearly not the harness, replace the engine ecu.
If vehicle was a peugeot, A reset of the engine ecu will be necessary before concluding that the engine ecu was faulty, this is because to safe the engine ecu from perceived damage, the system disables pulse to injectors if an open or a short circuit is noticed. This does not apply to the kia/hyundai series.
I had a similar issue with my car, we had to replace the ecu. Gazzuzz is right |

Jakumo: I got an amusing story about the 1969 Chevy Camaro that I bought in South Pomona from an ex-con looking guy with lots of tattoos, who swore that he had misplaced the pink slip, but was the legit owner of the vehicle nonetheless.
I set aside my suspicions that the car might be stolen, because the asking price was the princely sum of $200, which I hurriedly forked over in cash right away, as soon as he fired up that 327 cubic inch Chevy V8 motor and I got to hear the beast rumble and roar. She needed brakes, and a new paint job, but I was still pleased with my "new" classic Chevy find, which I test-drove around for only a couple of days, before it coughed and died suddenly, leaving me with no choice but to park it by the roadside a quarter-mile from my home, at the time located in the Diamond Bar area, which is generally a safe, crime-free suburb.
Anyways, the early the next morning after the day my Camaro broke down, I walked back to where it had been parked by the roadside, only to discover that my beautiful $200 automotive treasure had been stolen during the night, and removed without a trace.
I phoned the police and a sheriff's deputy rolled up to the house in a police cruiser, ready to take down notes about the vehicle I was reporting stolen. When the officer got to the part of his missing vehicle questionnaire where I needed to provide an estimate of the cash value of the stolen car, the officer stopped writing the instant I let him know I had purchased the car for a measly $200.
With a look of barely concealed disgust, the policeman then put away his notebook, and promised me, as he abruptly left the house, that no stone would be left un-turned in the quest to solve the crime I had reported. Needless to say, I never heard back from the police about the progress of their investigation, and of course I never saw my $200 Camaro again.
Here, downloaded from the net, is a picture of a very clean Camaro made in the same year as the one I lost, but in FAR better condition than the beater I bought way back in my poor college student days. Hey, you asked for car stories and I had to tell this one, since I get a chuckle every time I remember that policeman's response to hearing the true value of my stolen '69 Camaro SS.  nice one@$200 camaro  ..lol |

jodeci01: Haven't driven any but the 70's is a classic people with taste would give an arm/leg for. Sadly, such cars go unappreciated over here in Nigeria. If I spotted that in traffic over here in Nigeria, would probably come out of my car, walk up to you with a salute n thumbs-up. You already know the answer -follow your heart.
Nigerians know little about muscle cars and majority would go for 20's new look. Hell,some people will think you referring to the 07-11 Toyota Camry nicknamed muscle and start wondering when Ford made muscle lol! LOL  @"..when ford made muscle lol"..  The truth is i would prefer it with a manual tranny, no super chargers and no turbo chargers neither do i want any Nitrous.. Lol! And there are a of Nigerians that appreciate a well loved and maintained classic. Moreover the mustang shelby Gt500 stands out so you sorta wonder how this 'old' car sounds like its on steroids.. Will Nlanders that own or have driven classic muscle cars please share their experience, driving impressions, maintenance et al..especially if the cars are in Nigeria  |

Jakumo: Back in the day I owned a 1965 Mustang with the standard 289 cubic inch V8 engine. Logged many a freeway mile in Southern California in that old car, and got issued a few speeding tickets in my day too ha ha.
Had her painted metallic grey and was close to tears when I finally had to sell her on account of being a broke-asz college student in need of funds quick. That wedge body shape is timeless, and I would definitely buy another 1965 Mustang today if I could find one that did not cost an arm and a leg, now that they are certified classics. wow, I can imagine the feeling of selling a beloved 'baby'..thanks for sharing |

Hey people, I've always loved muscle cars and I have been looking at the 2016 dodge charger scat pack. However, modern muscle cars don't give me that tingle so I started looking for the tingle. I found it, in the 1968-1970 ford mustang shelby gt500 with the 427/428/429 cobra jet engine. However,some folks believe the modern ford mustang gt500 with well over 500 ponies and lots of bells and whistles cut it for them. They however agree that the 60's shelby mustangs have passion as against the 20's shelby mustangs. I'd really love for those who have driven them to share the experience. What do guys think, old or new? TGIF

Basically, if a crack runs through the wall,lintels and 'dpc' the fault is from the foundation and the fix will be expensive. Filling the cracks with mortar will not help much. If it doesn't go through the above, have a mason crack and fill the whole. If the cracks are very thing(cobweb-like) and don't pass through the wall, they may be as a result of the mortar mix ratio. When painting, have your painter use crack fillers on the wall and apply paint. If the crack reoccurs then apply wall screeding and paint or plaster the wall and apply paint. Goodluck |
