For the record for any future readers. I drained out ~10 qts of coolant. Disconnected all hoses and flushed it out to my satisfaction, everything ran clear right away. Drained again. Filled with ~10 qts 50/50 Zerex. Starting by putting in 1 gal concentrated then 1 gal distilled water straight...

If I want to do it myself and use Mopar or Zerex HOAT, how can I get all of the coolant and flush water out of the engine before filling with 50/50 mix? Here is what I have done so far. Pulled lower hose at radiator, pulled both lower heater core hoses at engine, pulled top radiator hose at...

I live in the sub tropics, so I never use my heat. I have had no overheating issues, or any coolant based complaints. I just thought since I lost fluid during the valve cover change, I think it was the heater core, and topped that off with hose water, that I should be flushing and replacing...

I dropped the lower hose, opened the fill tank cap, and cracked open the top hose. I let it drain for an hour. I blew compressed air in the fill tank, which forced some more fluid out. I even turned the engine over for a few seconds, but all that came out is 8 quarts. The manual states 14 qts...

2004 Liberty renegade 3.7L 4WD I lost a fair amount of coolant while changing the passenger side valve cover gasket, so I replaced it with water from the garden hose as a temp fix. I grabbed some Prestone HOAT coolant to do a drain/flush/refill. I put a 5/8" open ended wrench on the draincock...

Yes you helped me find front window gaskets, which are now on order. Next, I will be replacing the valve cover gaskets to stop the stinky oil smoke on my exhaust manifold. It's been too hot down here in SWFL to do it in my driveway, but things are shaping up now in Mid October.

WOOHOO! Yes, thank you. I found the part numbers, and picked what may be one of the last ones off eBay. Expensive, $200 for four strips of rubber, but considering the alternatives, it had to be done.

Both front windows have the rubber gaskets rotting out. I am talking about the inner and outer horizontal rubbers that mount on either side of the window. I have the outer ones ordered, I think they are called door belt weatherstrip, and at about $50 each, they ain't cheap. Now I am trying to...

Mainah transplanted to SWFL. On my 3rd Liberty in 15 years. Current one is '04 Renegade with 104K miles. It has been quite good to me, I really haven't had much trouble with it. Some of the usual, rear window motors, hood and rear window ballasts, blower fan resistors, etc. I have a few projects...
