Hi all
Over the past 5 years I've enjoyed turning wrenches on my Liberty. It is one of the built and has clocked 240 thousand miles.
This weekend I replaced diff fluids trans fluids and oil. The plan was also to size up a pending cat converter replacement.
When I climbed under it today I noticed the oil pan badly rusted and also discovered its gasket is probably the cause of my missing oil (about 1 quart per 3000 miles).
After researching the oil pan replacement project....(it seems like its beyond my ability in my current garage)....I wondered is it time to look for a new 4x4 to deal with NE winters?
It's far from a good looking ride, but it has yet to leave me on the side ofthye road......(I like to think that my maintenance has played a part)
SO......When do you guys "give up" and start on a new ride?
