    Starting & Running Very Rough

    My 2008 Liberty (3.7L) suddenly began to run rough, like a timing or ignition issue might present. Now it won’t start at all, and sounds strange while cranking - popping noises, starts and barely runs, then stalls. Anyone had a similar experience with their KK Liberty? Thanks

    What Tires Sizes Will Fit?

    It is time to replace worn tires, and I would like to know the possibilities. The tires on the Jeep are 235/60-R18. What other sizes will fit? Thanks!

    Removing Fan Clutch from Water Pump

    My fan clutch is wobbly and my water pump is leaking - it leaks out as the engine cools. Autozone offers a tool for loan, but with the tool, two of us (one above the pump and one below) were not able to develop enough torque on the brass nut to break it loose. I find this design a bit odd...

    Air Conditioner Pulley Burning Up the Serpentine

    My son sent me a video of his serpentine belt smoking on the AC pulley. He had been running the defroster, which was probably engaging the AC pulley clutch. I will see the vehicle tonight; maybe I can pull the electrical connector and the pulley will idle OK. Any thoughts?

    3.7 V.6 Water Pump Replacement

    The water pump leaks intermittently on my son's 08 Liberty. It doesn't leak when the engine is hot; it leaks following cool-down. The procedure I found on youtube shows first removing the thermostat, which is in a small housing on the engine side of the hose from the passenger side of...

    Alternator & Battery Fail; Transmission Locked in Park

    My son came home in his 2008 Liberty tonight, with the battery lamp lit on the dash and that distinctive burnt alternator smell. He pulled in our driveway, blocking the other two family cars. His Liberty will not restart; it is electrically dead, and the transmission will not leave Park. I...

    Climate Control - Cold Air Only Problem

    The engine comes up to temp and operates in the middle of the gauge, but the air coming out of the dash, regardless of setting (Auto or the others), the air is cold. The fan works at all speeds, but for the past two days it only blows cold air. We have had subzero temps here in Minneapolis...

    Air Conditioning Trouble/Strange Behavior

    So the AC works, but does not put out enough cold air. I hooked up a R134a recharge unit with a gauge, and observed that the compressor kicks in for 6 seconds and the shuts off for 6 seconds, and repeats. When the compressor is on, the gauge reads at the top of the green pressure range (good)...

    Body Corrosion

    Being in Minneapolis, the buckle on the rust belt, this KK is showing some signs of corrosion. The back window hinges are bubbling, as shown in this photo. Has anyone addressed this issue?

    Dripping Radiator 2008 Liberty

    Liberty I just purchased has a radiator drip, coming off the driver's side of the radiator. It starts to drip about an hour after shutting off the engine. Assuming I need to swap out the radiator, I have looked on-line for a video, but they are all for earlier models. This one has the...
