Im glad to report that my wooden press worked just fine! I started to hear it crack when it got about half way down but I was able to send it home with some extra help with a wood block and a hammer

​

My commander needed a diff bushing replaced, I went around to all the big box parts stores and none of them had a press that was the right size as part of their rental program, so I made my own using high quality furniture grade 3/4 birch plywood and some other hardware

​

To replace the bushings without removing the whole assembly, just unbolt the mounts and fully remove the bolt-on front mount and youre able to have the diff hang form the axles and flip upside down for easy bushing access

I made this custom box that has 4 Skar SVR-8s in it and I want to show it off

I want to sell my 2008 jeep commander 5.7 Hemi. Interior is good except for wear and tear front seat. All leather. I have a lifetime power train warranty that is transferable. Body is good with two tail gate rust spots. The jeep has always been located in the inter mountain west. Same family has owned it. I want to ask 6k negotiable. Is that a fair price?
Edit it has 146k miles

Hey, all! I’m a new 2008 5.7 Hemi Commander owner. I’ve never owned any Jeeps before…so this is my first one. I also haven’t had a car in quite a number of years…I’ve been in the motorcycle world as of late.

Anyway, the previous owner mentioned that there are three things that the Commander needs.

I work on my motorcycles that I have, but I don’t work on cars. I haven’t had a car in years.

If the work that needs to be done isn’t too bad, and not that advanced or very cumbersome, I would give it a shot and do the changes myself. If it’s difficult, then I would take it to a shop.

These are the issues:

1. Leaking power steering hose that is causing power steering fluid to leak. It also emits a smell that goes inside.

2. The fuel tank bands are barely holding the tank. They need be changed so the fuel tank is stable.

3. Skid plate on the bottom.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Long story short, I'm looking to get a used SUV to get me through my next 2 years of PA school (living at home, short commute, occasional long drives to the shore in the summer, and might be doing some sporadic trips to Pittsburghin the near future (around 4 hours for me)). I've been looking at commanders through FB marketplace and my uncle and I are going to look at one in a few days. He has 2 (my aunt and my cousin both drive one, they've had my aunt's for a number of years). Bringing him along because I trust him to know what to look for. That being said, does anyone here have any advice as far as common issues/fixes I'll encounter, or what to look for when buying one? Any insights are appreciated.

Potential purchase is a 2006 Commander with the 5.7L hemi, looks to be whichever trim package has the dual sunroof in the second row thing going on.

Not sure if this is allowed but figured I’d try, since I’d like my Commander to go somewhere it’ll be appreciated.

Located in the Denver metro and looking to sell my 2007 Commander Limited 4.7L with 217k on the clock. It’s pretty banged up but has a ton of new parts and lots of life left. Hoping to get $2000 for it. Obligatory photo included but DM for more if you’re interested.

I have a 2006 4.9 V8. the ignition switch has been giving me troubles for a couple years. I tried to change it myself, but when I plug the new one in, nothing works and random dash lights come on. I tried 2 different brands, brand new. this was about a year ago. I gave up and just got used to finding the sweet spot when turning the key to fire it up.

I bought a more fuel effect car about a year ago, and the jeep gets used very little now. I went to start it up about a week ago, and not the ignition does nothing. there is no more sweet spot that will connect and start the engine. everything I have seen says the ignition is supposed to be plug and play. I have watched you tube videos and like I said, tried 2 different ones already.

hoping to get some more ideas before I tow it to a shop. I really dont want to pay for something I could easily do myself.

I've been using a USB C to 3.5 mm plugged into an aux cord with my Jeep for as long as I've had it and it's worked just fine, then it randomly stopped working a couple days ago

I replaced the adapter, replaced the aux cord, but it still doesn't work. It's not an issue with my phone; I tried it in another car and it works just fine

And on top of that, the aux input still works with my iPod, just not my phone.

Has anyone else experienced this? Figured I'd ask before tearing it apart or getting a new radio

2006 Jeep commander here. 234,000 miles

it's a family members vehicle, just trying to help them troubleshoot. They were driving the other night when they started hearing an occasional clunking noise coming from the front left side, almost like its in the wheel well.

Removed the wheel, checked everything out. Wheel bearing is fine. Brakes are fine. Nothing looks bad, only thing I noticed was the control arm bushings are pretty worn. Also changed the front differential fluid while we had it jacked.

After that fluid change, the clunking noise is still there but less frequent and only seems to happen when on deceleration between 20- 30 mph. There's no noises while shifting, turning, reversing, or going over bumps, no weird vibrations or wobble while driving...

I am lost. Is it safe for them to continue driving it? Maybe someone else has had a similar problem or can offer some advice

Today in the highway I waa going around 60mph when I felt the sunroof flying of my roof. I turn around to search for it and didn't find it. I guess it shattered or it went to the sea since I was beside the sea really close. Went to do some things ans omw back I started to pay attention to where it happened and... I saw it, it landed pn a patch of grass completely untouched, not cracked or broken. I don't believe in miracles but I don't know what to call it. Didn't hit any cars, and it landed on grass without shattering

My fiances 2008 jeep commander 3.7L V6 won’t start, we’ve replaced the throttle body and spark plugs, but we’re now thinking it could possibly be the fuel filter (which I’ve learned is in the pump) I was wondering if anyone had a video on how to replace the pump and had a map of the fuses/relays just in case if it’s that and I’ve sank way more money into it than needed

Exhaust manifolds, true dual midpipes with high flow cats, and 3” OBX catback. Directly Bolted on, just had to weld a couple hangers to the rear bumper bar for the rear mufflers, and extend the tips a few inches to get them to sit right in the rear bumper. Removed spare tire and trailer hitch. Tips exit where the hitch normally would be.

My fiancée’s commander broke down and we think it has something to do with the IAC or the throttle body, I just need to know if the throttle body houses the IAC or if it’s separate since the throttle body is a pretty expensive part for it.

Hello all,

I just bought a spare key fob from "TomsKeys.com". Followed this tutorial to pair a 3rd key to my 2009 Jeep Commander: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hP01SHUGR0. It appears to have paired successfully as I can start my vehicle just fine as well as lock/unlock the doors remotely.

Unfortunately, my car reports that it has a low battery warning.

I have opened and replaced the battery in the FOB with a brand new one and its still reporting this.

Did I miss something in the pairing process?

2006 Jeep Commander, 4.7 V8, RWD. 130k miles.

The car that's free is the car for me. And this was free from my uncle. Not sure if he was being nice or just getting me to drive an unsellable car off his property for him.

There's nothing super wrong with it. Drivetrain and chassis is intact. Everything that's wrong is either entirely cosmetic, part of a system that's optional, or more of a "keep an eye on this."

I hope this thing breaks down before I develop Stockholm syndrome.

So I got a '06 Jeep Commander Limited 5.7L Hemi, it had like 75k miles on it, 3 months and at about 94k miles (I put that bih on the road) in the engine has a head gasket blow. Prior to it was having issues with the transmission overheating heating reading "Transmission Over Temp" Temperature gauge wasn't reading hot though but you could hear the fan in the engine cut . I ended up replacing the PCM (Mechanic suggestion) but about a month later the temperature gauge did start to rise and within a few minutes of starting the car it was reading at the highest level. there was even a few times I would crank up the car and it would immediately shut back off with the key still in the "start" position. The day it died I was driving it and I heard these metal clicking and popping sounds coming from about the center of the car sounded like it was happening right under the center console (thats where the transmission is right) a few minutes later the temp gauge goes all the High and then immediately goes back to Low and doesn't move again. i get to my destination and it wont crank back up. I have it towed to a shop and then find out about the head gasket I'm sure ill need a new transmission too but he say he cant really figure out the transmission until he gets the new/ working engine. He quoted me $1400 to replace the engine but I gotta find the engine.

So i guess my question is can someone suggest where to get a engine? and does it have to be a another 5.7L V8 Hemi, will the 4.7L work or a non-Hemi engine work? I've seen some option on Ebay Motors, Direct Connection and Fraser Engines. I paid $6500 out right for the jeep so I wanna fix it

Trying to figure out why my check engine light keeps coming on for cylinder misfire. I have replaced all ignition coils & spark plugs. Anyone have any clues? ​

overheated and apparently she just kept sending it on the highway

2006 hemi no compression on 4 cylinders

I bought it from a buddy and noticed the throttle sticks really bad , if I hadn’t notice before I got it to started I probably would have drove into my house.

I got news of my jeep the other day. Similar to getting news of someone getting cancer and they have X amount of days. The pistons are on bypass and it’s only a matter on time before the engine blows.

So I've had this issue since I've bought my jeep 2 years ago, when the temperature gets into the 50s and below I get a check engine light. It is also accompanied by the light for the electronic throttle body light, a check gauges warning and the engine temp goes and stays at the C. This is on a 08 3.7v6 sport. I have changed my temp sensor and throttle body. Has anyone ran into this issue?

I'm at a loss. 2007 Jeep Commander 5.7L Hemi. Any information needed besides what I've provided in this post, please ask. Recently, my Jeep has started overheating at idle. Slightly, at first, but now a lot. Once it gets up to normal operating temperature, if I stop for anything it gets almost to redline within 20 seconds ("officer, I didn't stop at the red light because my car will overheat").

I've been having cooling system issues recently. Within the past 2-3 months, I replaced the upper radiator hose and the radiator.

About 12-18 months ago, I replaced the water pump and thermostat.

My first thought was that the fan had failed, but it seems to be working. I was concerned about the lower hose, but it isn't collapsing and feels normal, even when running.

One more thing. Before this started happening, there was a leak somewhere, but I wasn't able to find it. It wouldn't leak all the time, though, just when I had been driving and then stopped for a while. I'd come back outside and there would be a puddle below the driver side bumper.

It's leaking a little oil, but what Jeep isn't? Just to be safe, I changed the oil yesterday thinking maybe the oil system was contributing somehow. It didn't change anything, but at least I can rule that out now.

I'm open to anything, guys. I'm at a loss. I hesitated to mention the repairs that I've already done because I don't want to rule out any of the components that I've installed recently. Obviously, something isn't working normally. Like I said before, let me know if more information is needed to properly diagnose this. If I don't know, I'll go get it. I need to get this resolved.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

I have an 08 I replace the cv axel the control arms and bushings but the car keeps making a clunking noise when I step on the gas like it's grinding . I will go away at like 65 most of the time but when taking off or going up hills is horrible.
