    '03 2.4 burning oil..

    My '03 2.4 has been burning oil. I have noticed it after I changed the oil in it when I first got it. I haven't been writing down how much and how often but I will start. I change the oil every 3,500 miles and I know I use at least 1 quart in between. It really pisses me off because it currently...

    Fuel Filter Info Needed

    So with gas currently $3.25 here in town I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to change the filter in my Liberty. I've read it's a "extended life" filter and I think thats crap. Anyways i'm averaging right at 20 and would love to see a boost in that. If anyone knows what part number or where to...

    $1450 for a clutch? I don't think so..

    I was asking around at the local Jeep dealerships for a quote to get my timing belt and water pump replaced on my '03 2.4 KJ. I also asked for a quote on a clutch for the manual trans. The owners manual calls for the timing belt and water pump at 90k which is coming up soon on me (84k). I...

    Scraped rear bumper.. can I resurface it?

    So today I was backing out of a friends driveway and scraped the passenger corner of my back bumper against the top of a retaining wall (It was just high enough off the ground to not see it and get the bottom of the corner. Needless to say it kinda ruined my good mood. It isn't to deep and...

    Need spark plug information for my '03 KJ

    If anyone has a factory service manual or anyone with a 2.4 engine, what spark plug gap is required for the 2.4? I have heard .040 and .050 but I can't seem to confirm either. I want to change my plugs and wires this weekend. I have heard to use either Champion or Autolite Platinum Plugs.

    Is it possible to adjust clutch on manual trans?

    I would really like to adjust the clutch on my 03 5 speed liberty. The engagement point is like literally a inch from pressing the peddle in and makes it difficult to achieve a smooth shift without having to keep your foot at an odd angle. I want to be able to have the engagement point about...

    3.7L intake posssibly fit my 2.4 Libby?

    I have an 03 Libby with the 2.4 engine and I cannot find a air intake for it. K&N and AEM do not make one for it. I even tried to see if there was a knock off intake on ebay. The throttle body and factory air box look similar to the 3.7. Any input/opinions?

    New Liberty 4cyl. Owner

    I have owned my 03 Liberty for over a week now. It's a rare 2.4 engine/ 5 speed 4x4 liberty. At least I think its rare because I have seen hundreds of libertys but never a four cylinder. My last vehicle was a 2000 cherokee with the bulletproof 4.0 engine. Is there any 2.4 liberty owners on here?
