My bolt that holds in my antenna has completely stripped of the threading. What is everyones advice should I get a new in dash sound system and antenna or just replace the bolt?

Jeep said it would be about $300 after labor cause they have to take off my whole fender or something does someone know if that is even true?

If you have an in fender antenna ( front fender) it should be accessible from inside the guard without removing the fender. You will have to remove the inner splash guard to get to it. Removing the wheel helps a lot to do the job The antenna is held in place in the fender by the silver nut at the base of the antenna just outside the fender.

SOURCE: Entire heater needs to be replaced

i work at a dealer and generally its is 8 hours labor to remove the dash. disassemble the HVAC box, repair whatever doors or motors broke, checking the Evaporator and heater core for leaks. and it typically comes out to around $1400 when all is said and done but thats also at $90 per hour

SOURCE: I have a 96 jeep grand cherokee that won't hold a start

check your starter wire as mine was loose and did the same thing every time you interupt power to the alarm system it will flash the lights unlock the drivers door with the key and this will rearm the alarm and the jeep should start up if this is the problem rember to have good battery conections and a good batt first or else this will keep hapening also after 20 starts you may have to do the key thing again

I need a parts manual please bolts and studs that hold the chain and chain cover are stripped.

go google and type in-- parts manual for ( make and model not supplied )
if the bolts and studs are stripped then you will probably need thread inserts to make new threads for the bolts and studs , which you get from any good spare parts shops or tool stores

Thermostat housing bolts wont tighten up

Pull the housing off and check if the threads are stripped where the bolts screw in. On aluminum, threads can get easily stripped from over tightening. A shop can use tap and die tools to rethread the holes. It shouldn't cost too much.

Need to replace radio antenna on a 99 isuzu rodeo

I just replaced the antenna on our 02 rodeo. No need to remove radio or anything in dash. This is how I did it.
First you will need access to back of fender, enough room for your hand. Open hood and remove 3 bolts running along top of fender, open passenger door and remove top bolt holding fender. Gently pry top of fender away from vehicle. Place object in gap to hold fender ( I used the head of a rubber mallet). Reach inside fender and disconnect old antenna, follow cable through wall into passenger compartment. Gently pull cable from behind carpet and unplug old antenna from coupler. Connect new antenna to fender ( replacement antenna I ordered was slightly smaller than opening so I had to add washer). Run new antenna cable through wall and plug into coupler. Re-attach fender

Stripped 12mm isuzu bolt hole

You already answered your question partially. The thread size is 12mm. You can a helicoil kit at most parts stores. Buy the kit for a 12 mm and it will have all the necessary items you need to complete the install. The kits are usually pretty inexpensive. I know that NAPA sells these kits over the counter in many different sizes.

Rear gas tank strap bolt spin's but doesn't come out.

Bad news! Either threads are stripped, or where bolt screws in, the nut that is sometimes spot welded to hold bolt has come loose and is turning with your bolt. I would cut head off bolt, remove strap, and remove tank. Then you can see what you are dealing with. Use a little ingenuity to figure a way to make the strap hold good, when you put it back together. Good luck. If threads are stripped, and you don't want to have it tapped for new threads, try a smaller (high-grade) bolt with a nut to try and draw the strap up tight.

Crankshaft pulley bolt worked its way out of end of crankshaft. Car still ran but no oil pressure. Is it possible that it was stripped when oil pump was replaced or is it more likely it was not torqued...

Either or are possible. This should be done professionally but if u want to check the threads, Get the exact bolt size including thread size (specs should be on new part, get from OEM) Try hand threading it into the crank (GENTLY) use a ratchet to feel for a stripped thread. You can do the same with a tap from a tap & die set. If is well, use threadlock on the new hardware threads. DONT FORCE IT, IF IT'S NOT STRIPPED TOURQUE TO SPEC, IF IT'S STRIPPED IT'S STRIPPED. Good luck

The bolt threads are stripped on my auto battery. How do I repair so the terminal bolt will stay tight?

If it is the bolt that is stripped you can buy a new bolt at any parts store, if the threads in the battery are stripped, well you can get one of those at the parts store as well. You can probably rethread the hole to a bigger size, or use a heli-coil thread insert, but I have never tried one of these on a battery and dont know how well it will work out.
