What did you do to your jeep today?
Amazon has those Magnefine filters for $25. What size line does the liberty have? They come in 3/8”, 5/16”, 1/2”, etc… I’m assuming that’s the inner diameter of the hose?- lfhoward

What did you do to your jeep today?
I need a quick answer on something. Today I did the transmission service on Jeepy. She’s at 238k, and this is the OG transmission. I’m at the point where I sucked out 3 quarts of fluid through the dipstick and then dropped the pan. I made a mess anyway! Here is the pan magnet. That seems...- lfhoward

Awesome @burntkat! Thanks for the step by step with photos. I will for sure reference this at some point. I haven’t had working AC for 2 years.- lfhoward

2007 Don't start
Maybe the battery is actually bad. Oreilly’s will probably warranty it for you if it is bad. See if you can charge it up on the bench. Your Jeep may instead have a parasitic draw somewhere. If you have a multimeter you may be able to figure out where. Does your alternator charge the battery at...- lfhoward

Tools needed to change the front brake pads on a 2007 Liberty
If all you are doing is pads, a jack, jack stand, socket set, ratchet and breaker bar should be all you’ll need. You may want to get a can of brake parts cleaner and a metal brush to clean dirt and rust out of the slots in which the pads slide. The new pads should come with steel anti-rattle... -

Wow that’s a huge bummer! If the OBDII is down, I would be checking the connectors to the PCM on the passengers side fender, and underneath the TIPM (fuse box) on the drivers side. If any of those big connectors got water in them, perhaps that is the issue. I would unplug the large connectors...- lfhoward

2011 Severe Duty Cooling
I 100% think the mechanical fan is worth it. I installed one on mine and the cooling has never had an issue since. Also, transmission temperatures are lower, which will make the transmission live longer. The aux fan is also the main add on of the tow package, besides the hitch and trailer...- lfhoward

What did you do to your jeep today?
Today was also an oil change day. 238,106 miles on the odometer. I’ve been using Mobil-1 Truck & SUV every 3000 miles, with Mopar oil filters. I towed a lot on this last change, so was glad not to see any glitter or anything else concerning in the pan. Hopefully tomorrow I can get in a tire...- lfhoward

That’s great. Mine have lasted 3 years or so, but I park outside.- lfhoward

How long does the 42RLE live for?
I knew I was feeling Déjà vu! I asked this same question four years ago. Go vote in that thread instead! https://www.jeepkj.com/threads/how-long-did-your-42rle-automatic-transmission-last-before-it-blew-up.78374/ That way we have a larger dataset to draw conclusions.- lfhoward

How long does the 42RLE live for?
My Jeep just passed 238k miles and it’s time for the next transmission service. My 42RLE automatic transmission is the OG and it is still working. I have a transmission cooler, the aux mechanical fan, and it has only been up to 240° once and the fluid was promptly changed afterwards. That was...- lfhoward
