Our 06 Liberty 3.7 is not charging the battery. Connections are tight and clean, and the belt is in good condition and tight. I know that it's almost certainly the alternator, but that it could possibly be the PCM (which contains the VR). Can someone tell me the test procedure to pinpoint...

Between the muffler and the Y-pipe? I didn't know your vehicle details, so I looked up a diagram of our '06 3.7. It showed no gasket in that location. WALKER® EXHAUST SYSTEMS :: E-Catalog Lookup

Well, I guess the Monroe website must be wrong then, 'cause they call their low-end product "Monro-matic" or "Econo-matic". Sensatracs have been re-named "OE Spectrum" or "Quick-Strut". Go here: MONROE® SHOCKS & STRUTS :: Ride Safe with the Industry Leader of Ride Control Products and click on...

There are different grades of Quickstruts...I'm talking about the Sensatracs. Also, it's possible to get a defective component, even from a good brand. If someone tore off a brand new set of shocks after a week, IMO either a) they were "economy" shocks, b) there was a defective part, or c) the...

Absolutely. I put Monroe Sensatracs on ours about a year and a half ago, and they work great. Shortly after I put them on, we drove it to SW CO and drove trails in the San Juans for a few days. No complaints, on- or off-road. It's sorta like tools. Some people think that if it doesn't say...

U-joints been checked?

Fellow BITOGer here! (I'm "zrxkawboy" over there.)

Were the terminals/cable ends cleaned when the battery was replaced?

I put in a NAPA radiator a year ago, and it fit exactly as the original. No problems so far.

Interesting!

NAPA only lists one front shaft for an '06 Libby. They don't list it as only fitting a specific t-case or anything. Any ideas on that? Just trying to get a general idea of parts cost.

Thank you, sir!

2006 Jeep Liberty 3.7/auto. I'm wondering about the possibility of swapping an NP242 in place of the original NP231. I was looking at some online parts diagrams and see that the shifters are different, but wasn't able to determine much else. I also did not come up with anything on a general...

I haven't had to replace one on the KJ yet, but in general, they can be a bear to get out if there's any corrosion. Like HoosierJeep said, some penetrating oil a few times in the days leading up to the repair would be a good idea.

A knife shouldn't go through a freeze plug...at least not if the plug is in good condition.
