Hi All. I have a 2003 Liberty v6 4x4. It seems like the cv joints on the front Propshaft have gone as they make a nice rattling noise when driving in normal 2wd mode and grind like a disco biscuit from the 70's when trying to engage 4x4. Can the jeep be driven with out it in place so i...

i had something similar...... went thru the whole process of changing lifters and then doing the heads to find out the timing chain was bad and then it broke and once that was replaced the noise was still there. Turned out the no 2 cylinder on left bank was the issue. the con rod on the little...

So the Jeep is going Again. Well lets say that after all the parts ect and it snapping the right side timing chain and then replacing all the chains, guides and interspersion the noise was still there. So after contemplating matches and petrol and the insurance payout we pulled the motor...

Those weren't the words i used. I think DMX and 50c and M&M would have been shocked. Well now we wait for the parts from the stealers.

Ya well . Like i say it sounded like a lifter so we did the lifters...... well it was still there. so we did the heads and that wasn't the problem. So we wanted to pull the motor and do the bottom end well.................. Ya it started and ran for about 3 mins and then died.

I managed to snap the right timing chain idling.

so the heads went back on after only finding a mildly starting to fail head gasket. The noise was still there so i took it a parked it. Until we could figure it out. But as december is about as productive as a government official we wait. Thinking was maybe the bottem end. Bearings rods or...

HA HA HA.....so i got my 3.7 secondhand. Noticed a small tick sound about 4 months later and then one day it sounded like the south had risen again. So we changed the lifter as thats what it sounded like. Well it wasn't. So we took off the heads cause we thought it was the valve seats. well it...

Im blind..............

So the heads have now been taken off as the thinking was that it could only now be the valves or valve seats. Low and behold both head gaskets have or are in the process of been blown. there is a small amount of water getting into cylinder 1 and has rusted the ******* plug causing the...

Just a thought on the topic heading...... the person said Antifreeze leak....... so it isnt leaking water just coolent additive. wow that must be some kinda radiator considering it can seperate and expell predetermind particals. I wonder if this would block the flux capacitor in way DOC........

I have the same issue. Had to replce the thermostat. the new one i got looked a bit diffrent to the original in my 3.7.... it had the same part number ect.... anyway filled it up and bled the air etc but also has water gushing sound. Drained the rad and flushed the system and filled it up and...

Ya bud tried that....... So i had it taken to another workshop who say they looked at the cam lobes and gears and chain guides ect ect and have since caused even more crap as they put the crank pully back like a smelly **** and that had the belt out of alignment and now the belt got stuffed...

No mods...... pulled the trailer and another elcamino stacked with parts.....

I have a 2003 3.7 and i tow a car trailer and various cars on that trailer ranging from 800kg to 2 tons.
