    Right rear shock making a strange noise

    I had a similar problem with the driver’s side shock. The shock was loose even though the bolt was completely tight. I discovered that the bolt was actually worn. A new bolt fixed the problem.

    Mysterious coolant leak....????

    Check the hose clamp on the bottom rad hose. Often they look ok but have lost their tension. Put a proper clamp on there. Throw away the spring clamp.

    Oil temperature gauge

    That seems to be really hot. I have never checked my oil or water temps. My engine runs right in the middle of the gauge surely a lot lower than 225. The dipstick can be pulled safely with bare fingers. The oil does not seems to be hot even when draining it. For sure there must be hot spots...

    Oil temperature gauge

    Hi, I would think that your oil temp would be the same as your engine temp. I did install a mechanical oil pressure gauge. I used a three way union to attach the original sending unit to maintain the warning light. It works well. The gauge was installed on the panel just under the...

    Yet another Engine Swap

    I would definitely look for a low mileage 3.7 replacement engine. Less hassle that way. I run two Liberty vehicles one for the winter and one for the summer. Luckily I found a parts Jeep with just over 140,000kms. I am trying to prolong my Renegade for as long as possible. Should be good...

    changing transmission fluid/filter

    Hi, I decided to change the filter and fluid in my 2004 Renegade at under 180,000kms. Almost immediately the transmission wouldn’t shift up from first gear. I thought somehow I messed up. However, after shutting off the engine the transmission went back to normal. Two codes did come up, P0841...

    Need help with driver side upper control arm

    I put Anti-seize on my bolts. Why wouldn’t you? However, my Jeep is 18 years old. It isn’t likely to ever need another upper control arm.

    Need help with driver side upper control arm

    Yes, because I didn’t have a sawzall I had to use a hacksaw in my hand moving it back and forth about an inch at a time.

    Need help with driver side upper control arm

    Most likely you’ll have to cut the bolts off inside the wheel well. It took me about an hour and a half to do that. I had no reciprocating saw. But I have one now.

    Ideas for bolt removal

    Not too bad if you have a reciprocating saw. It took me an hour and a half to cut two bolts off on an upper control arm. All I had was a hand held hacksaw blade. David

    Hello from Newfoundland and Labrador

    Thank you! I only found this forum today. I have done work on the Liberty over the years naturally but the problem I have now is baffling. I am a car guy and belong to a couple of British car groups. I have three British cars and a few years ago bought a PT Cruiser because it looks like an...

    Scraping noise in all 4x4 modes

    Thanks! I jacked up the Jeep on all four corners and ran it in drive at idle speed in all modes. The sound starts at about 20kph, about 12 mph. I could not tell where the sound was coming from. I didn’t want to run it like that with no one in the driver’s seat. A helper would have been...
