    03 Liberty: Battery Issue (new battery, alternator good, what could it be??)

    UPDATE: FIXED COST: $50 ADD TOW: $65 TOTAL: $115 From what I understand the mechanic cleaned down the corroded wires. You know the fuse box on the right side of the engine? Well there is some type of metal plate that connects to that fuse box on the left-side of it when you open it up...

    03 Liberty: Battery Issue (new battery, alternator good, what could it be??)

    Well my brother did not do the two brand new battery cables...There are multiple wires attached to the red cable, and he didn't want to mess with it. Taking it to my trusty shop on Monday. Hopefully it just needs the two cables. BUT...If it is the PCM, then how much can I expect to pay at...

    03 Liberty: Battery Issue (new battery, alternator good, what could it be??)

    I have an 03 Liberty with 180k on it. Was driving it and the battery light remains on almost immediately after driving (so I put in a refurbished battery), then after a while the information center will black out. Then the radio will black out. Then random lights will go on on the dash. It's...

    He wrote me an email this morning saying the Moog front springs were $55 each...rear springs $65 each....So $330 just for springs...and the shocks and struts totalled $360 so he paid total of $690 and he says he thinks $200 is fair... There really isn't a desparate need to upgrade the...

    High mileage club

    I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty Limited that I bought at 168,000 miles and it currently has 180,000. When I bought it I immediately put used tires on, fixed the broken drive shaft, and put a tie rod on. A couple months went by and all of a sudden it didn't start. Towed it to a trusty shop and it...

    I took off the 20 inch rims I got last spring and put on the stock 16s. Have a very cool tire shop I go to and I got all new lug nuts for $10 (probably the best $10 I've spent in a while!)...20 lug nuts total. I am cheap and he has my name/number and is keeping an eye out for a good set of...

    Buying USED struts/shocks/springs (how much should I pay)???

    I talked to a guy selling Monroe struts/shocks/springs. They have roughly 30,000 miles on them. This is for front and rear. He said $200! Is that a good deal or too high? $100 is what I was thinking... What do you guys think and please don't say "why buy used struts?" My Jeep has 180k miles...

    02 KJ ran perfect - now won't start...

    You can pretty much ignore this post because I don't know anything about cars but.... My 03 Liberty wouldn't start one day and it was the IAC (Idle Air Control). Like I said, ignore this post, just throwing this out there because my Jeep started right up fine one minute, and then within an...
