Power Steering Issue
Thank you. I was unaware of that. Is it the same for the automatic (42RLE) transmission? The reason I ask, is many years ago. I burnt up a ****** sitting in a traffic jam. So now I avoid them like "the plague"! Seriously. I would rather get the ticket from pulling a u turn, or driving through...- XWrench3

Power Steering Issue
Is the cooler on the return line, or the high pressure side? I still haven't crawled under it. but the lines going up to the grill are pretty oily. It looks like a couple of cans of brake cleaner, just to try to see where the leak is coming from. I hate when cars break in cold weather. I TRY to...- XWrench3

Power Steering Issue
So my daughters KJ has developed a power steering pump issue. I think it may be related to the very recent extreme cold weather that we just had. She went out to go into town, and she came right back into the house saying that her truck was making a TERRIBLE noise. So, I went out to listen to...- XWrench3

starter replacement in remote location
wow, big job! thankfully, I wont have to do it at this point, anyway. he must have left a light(s) on somewhere, maybe didn't get the door shut, ??? it turns out that he completely drained the battery. he had tried jump starting it which didn't work. but after talking with him, and asking lots...- XWrench3

starter replacement in remote location
So my son borrowed my Jeep, and now it will not start. He is as mechanical as The Pope, so I am going to have to pack up a bunch of tools, and make a 300 mile round trip in order to fix it. Can you guys tell me what tools it takes to change the starter motor on this please? its a 2005, 3.7l...- XWrench3

dual overhead trouble codes, but only one, unrelated symptom
So a couple of weeks ago, my daughters Jeep Liberty was acting very strange. We were on the Highway going 75mph (the speed limit) and the the truck seemed like it was surging. The tachometer was showing the RPM fluctuating, but not enough to be shifting gears, but enough to unlock the torque...- XWrench3

TRI LINK
sorry that I forgot to post here right after I got this fixed. I had a lot on my plate at that time. replacement was not easy, but it was not as bad as I would have thought. with the exception of the drivers side bolt came out with all of the body threads with it. I ended up buying a grade 8...- XWrench3

TransMichigan
OH NO! I guess I shouldn't have complained. Today I went to leave a shop, and when I moved the shifter from reverse to drive, and started to accelerate. the engine reved and about a second later the trans slammed into 1st gear. this happened all 3 times that I moved the selector from park or...- XWrench3

TransMichigan
That's kind of what I was afraid of. my lib is an '05 with the 42rle. I guess I will just have to live with it. "tuned for fuel economy" is a joke. we are driving basically a 2 tiered brick around, and for the life of me I can not understand how your going to have good fuel economy at any speed...- XWrench3

TransMichigan
I have never really liked the way my transmission has shifted, but I did not know if that was just the way it worked, or if there was an issue. At least until my daughter purchased her Liberty and I drove it. Her Lib's shifts the way it should. Evenly spaced all the way through, unlike mine that...- XWrench3

Daytime Running Lights?
Unfortunately, if it isn't law, they will not do it most of the time. the only reason they will, is they think it will increase sales enough to offset the extra cost. we all know that the real cost (at the manufacturers level) is only a couple of bucks. but a couple of bucks times a couple of...- XWrench3

WHOAH NELLIE!!!
well, for some reason, the truck has not repeated the issue since that one time. I am going to wait until it repeats its initial problem, and try to read the codes. I hate trying to find a problem when i do not have a place to start looking.- XWrench3

WHOAH NELLIE!!!
Today, my daughter was driving to work, and the vehicle slid on the ice on our road (one of the last roads in the county to get ANY type of care in the winter). anyway, as soon as it slid, a slew of warning lights came on in the dash. the "ESP-BAS, BRAKE, CAR WITH SQUIGGLY LINES UNDER IT, AND...- XWrench3

P0038 code
Well, since my daughter is not "mechanically oriented", I will have to fix it. So the check engine light will come back on when anything else goes wrong. I could see her driving the car with the engine clattering away with no oil in the engine. She is why we have these types of lights. She gets...- XWrench3
