My sons liberty had a massive rust at the rear roof rack mounting point. I used fiberglass filler.

Could be wheel bearing too. Definitely not as easy as fixing brakes! We had a van that had noisy brakes. Dealer shrugged it off as air bubbles in the disk castings. Chrysler thing...lol

Yeah. Others are right. Really need to see, drive and find out more. Too many variables.

Sons 2002 puffs occasionally on start up. Plugs were clean. 130,000 miles and uses a quart every 3,000. Not too bad.

I think parts and service guys misuse the term rare and should use uncommon. It's like saying something is unique. American made car manufacturers will run thousands of the same vehicle. Limited or special edition monikers don't mean squat on cars either. I think the dealers do this to...

Get an oil analysis done. Could be due to cold weather running rich, like he said.

Wow! Ok, thanks. Thought I read someplace here that it was on the back of the valve cover.

Thanks. I'll check that small square out and look at the pcv valve. Is there a pcv on the passenger side? I've seen the driver side one. Thanks...

Bought son a 2002 Liberty v6 with 128k miles. Runs smooth and strong. On cold start, there is a very short and light oil puff. Changed the plugs recently and there is no indication of heavy oil burning. Plugs are clean and light. Oil was changed recently and was full/clean. What do you...

Nice! I used to never buy warranties either. Then we bought a certified eurosedan. That warranty saved us thousands in repairs. Sons KJ needs some work. We knew that going in though and got a good price.

Okay, thanks.

Practically every used car is going to have issues. You're rolling the dice if you don't know the owner, service and repair history. Even then, an inspection by a good mechanic is a must. Getting a warranty (or really good price) from a used car dealer can ease the sting from expensive repairs.

Okay, newbie question here. Bought our son a 2002 liberty and replaced a ton of lights. Is there a light(s) for the gear selector?

Thanks for great tutorial. Was able to get job done easily. Always good to know about the stumbling blocks.

Thanks. This is why I love the internet. There were 9 bulbs. Replaced all and kept ones that work. Really helps an old gauge cluster.
