    Ironman 4x4 Kit for $525 - starting a build

    Moog has parts made all over the globe. Cheapest part with a quality standard.(?) I have been using Moog. CHRYSLER has used them on there vehicles in the 2000's. Not sure about now. I bought a cheap Chinese unbranded box with Moog laser etched P/N and logo that looks just like the local part...

    Ironman 4x4 Kit for $525 - starting a build

    That is how tommudd is. Take the advice or argue. I don't always agree with him and his harsh criticism; but I am going to buy OME lift this year. Daystar 2.5in Spacers and factory springs are making my tires rub and and shocks rattle (up front) after 5 years. Measures 20.5 inches all around...

    V8 swaps

    Maybe find a 2002 Durango 4.7. Mine has been very reliable. 198k with no major engine work. Not even a timing chain! Spark plugs and water pump. My daughter's 2002 liberty has the same transmission as my wife's 2002 Durango 4.7. Not sure what year you are working with. Hemi does not mean RT...

    Oil pressure warning light 2005 Jeep Liberty

    MOPAR parts fail because they go with the cheapest manufacturer with the best tolarences. Just change the oil pressure switch. This happened on my daughters 02 Liberty and my 02 Ram. Both replaced with box store parts. No problems for many years. MOPAR fails like any...

    Chernobyl Coolant Tank

    My tank is stained orange from MOPAR coolant. May not be rusty unless it only had water in it.

    Chernobyl Coolant Tank

    If it was not over heating; you should have changed the radiator cap first. New MOPAR tank would have came with one. I just learned this myself. $8

    Boiling in coolant tank

    Change your radiator cap. I had this same problem on my 2002 Durango 4.7 in September. Good luck!

    Radiator core bulging

    Your friend has bad luck! I buy MOPAR; just not everything. May have been a maintenance issue or a Mopar termostat just like my 2002 Durango with 195k (original radiator) owened since May 2004. Guess i will find out if it is the thermostat or Duralast parts. Bought a summit racing radiator. They...

    Radiator core bulging

    Changed the cap with 16psi. Might have been my problem from the factory MOPAR parts. I will find out in about 8yrs if it is still on the road. Thanks for the info!

    Thanks. I will change the cap with the radiator. How long has the cap and coolant change worked now?

    Radiator core bulging

    What is a good one? The factory one failed at about 80K. It had 68K in 2012 when I bought it. I do not know the maintanence history up to the point that I bought it. Do you have a suggestion on brand (MOPAR) or other. 7 to 8 years with Mopar and 8 years with Duralast. I would like this to be my...

    Radiator core bulging

    If you look at the picture; it has an arch down. The factory radiator went around 7 to 8 years on mine. I put a duralast in, and it lasted about the same amount of time. I have a 2002 durango 4.7 that i bought new and it has 195K. Never changed the radiator in it. Guess the previous owner may...
