Slapped a new starter in it. All is well. I took the front driveshaft out and it made it real easy to chsnge the starter. About an hour job total.

So it just got dropped by the tow truck in my driveway. It's been about 45 minutes, and the darn thing started right up like a champ. Still starter?

I have a 2004 liberty that was acting like a bad battery, now it will go "whoom" once when you try to start it and then it stops. Checked battery with a load meter, checks good. Think it's a starter? .

So my 2004 is giving me headaches with some electrical gremlins. I have been having an intermittent driver side brake running lamp, new bukb fixes it then nothing. None of the contacts are loose inside the housing. Tonight, my wife said she was driving and lost the dash lights and the ability to...

I know its long overdue, but my driver side balljoint was bad. It had slop in it and the boot was torn and lots of grit in there. Fixed the issue!

Used a tester, it worked but seemed dim. I suspect the 7 to 4 pin adapter.

2004 liberty with factory tow package. I found the 20 amp fuse #19 was blown on the inside fuse panel. Fuse underhood is good. My trailer only has running lights, no stop or turn. Trailer lights work fine on other vehicles. Could it be the taillight bulbs or the 7 to 4 pin adapter? I searched...

Yep got it all buttoned up. Just need some hoat coolant to replace what came out when I removed the heater hoses. Those hard plastic lines suck on the jeep, I'm going to replace them with some gates rubber vac line.

Found a replacement t connector made by gates at oreilly. Also managed to destroy the PVC valve so I got a new one. Start to finish, with two trips to the parts store and a lunch break it took 4 hours. Probably less than 2 if I powered right through it. I torqued the covers to 105 inch pounds I...

I got the fel pro gaskets with all new grommets for 35 at advance auto. Came with a gasket for the oil filler too.... What is the torque specs for the valve cover bolts? I don't have a service manual. And I destroyed a vacuum connector, the t from the air box line. Where can I source that...

I've got plenty of tools and beer! I'm about to order the gaskets from advance auto for 35 bucks with a discount, anywhere cheaper?

Mine just started to smell like crap the other day. I can see oil leaking on the manifolds and pooled on top of the passenger side head near the spark plugs.

I'm willing to bet you took out some very fragile components. Your battery is probably a weak link now.

I just moved so all of my tools are packed up. I'll be digging in to it by Wednesday for sure. I'll probably start with the rack bushings, they are destroyed. It doesn't feel like a rear steer type of thing, but what about that tri-link?

Well I drove it to Illinois today, put just under 700 miles on it. The freaking thing started it's bs bump steer shit again. I will have to put it up on jack stands to get under there. I did grab the tie rods, is it normal to be able to roll them front to back easily by hand? I couldn't feel any...
