I actually did wind up getting this done. I messed up the harness a little bit but finally got it done. First, you have to get out this tiny little mother ****** red lock tab. This is the hardest ****** part, excuse my language but there's really no other way to put this lol. I used a very...

Hey guys, been a little busy, thanks for the replies - wound up having to get the refrigerant in my jeep recharged, but found a really awesome mechanic in my area after going through countless scam mechanics who would need to hold my car for 5 days for the recharge lol, will call the dealership...

Thanks for the replies guys, can you share the part number you're seeing? So I guess I have to replace the entire drive shaft? What luck :) https://www.buyautoparts.com/buynow/2011/jeep/liberty/driveshaft/91-00665_n Is something like this just not worth it? Looks entirely different from my...

Thanks, I'll definitely try do some more searching for the bolt thing, for the most part the trans fluid level hasnt really changed on the dipstick though

Just went underneath the car and had someone shift between p/r/n/d to check things out. It's definitely the rear drive shaft making the noise, it seems to jolt a bit before rotating into R. Have you heard of that being typical when shifting into reverse? Not sure if related, probably not but...

So I hopped in my jeep earlier this morning and was in a hurry to get somewhere - I decided not to let it warm whatsoever, my jeep seems to idle around 1k RPMs when the engine in still cold, that's where it was when I started shifting. I felt like I heard something odd and decided to park next...

Finally done! Wasted some money on those extra tools, good old vise grips did the job. Was a real pain getting the clamp onto the thermostat housing but she's finally done leaking! That's a huge weight off my shoulders! :D Contacted two dealerships in my area regarding the part #s, supposedly...

Hey guys, back for the millionth time, trying to get an OEM lower radiator hose clamp I bought from the dealership onto the thermostat housing side of the lower radiator hose, I even bought one of those special tools to get the job done because the clamp was still too tight even when I tightened...

You use 707L? I used Mobilux EP2 NLGI 2 grease, it was a vaseline color, but I noticed that the grease inside the boot I squeezed out was actually blue - is the 707L grease blue as well? Also, the boot was fat like a blown up balloon only after, I pumped about 12 pumps into it .. LOL. But I...

Alright... for the sake of science and helping anyone who might be as inexperienced as I am, I want it to be known that you can simply pinch the bottom of the boot up toward the top and squeeze out any extra grease you might have accidentally pumped into the ball joint while holding it in that...

I believe that I read somewhere in the boxing that the JBA UCA ball joints came pre-greased, but maybe I'm wrong. Anyway - 6k miles later, I'm trying to grease the ball joints and have noticed they're practically empty, I probably screwed up and made the job harder for myself at this point, but...

Alright... I THINK the OEM clamps and hose did it! Not going to celebrate too soon as maybe the nice weather today is skewing my results, but I'll be sure to update again maybe tomorrow or on a colder day. Wrecked my finger nail getting off that piece that locks the clamp open, but other than...

Seems to once again be leaking from the original problem area. Right where the lower radiator hose meets the radiator. Ordered the OEM hoses and clamps this morning, will install them tomorrow and see if it makes any difference. If not, guess I'll be replacing the radiator itself... hopefully...

EDIT : Fan just came on randomly while looking under the hood Anyone know when the radiator fan should be coming on? It’s around 50 degrees in the daytime and 40 right now at night where I am. Idled the car and burped the air bubbles from the coolant by leaving off the radiator cap. Took about...

Should I be using any kind of sealant with these radiator hoses? Or not recommended?
