    How To: Change front driveshaft / change a driveshaft head

    Nice job! I have done a few - maybe 3x, but don’t recall the shift bracket info. Maybe I could have finished sooner. Usually pull the KJ up a bit of a bank and get myself down in the swale - plenty o’ room there.

    2 engine computers

    02 - 04 are the same - jtec computer. Accourding to my google-fu, there was a change in 2003.5 that dealt with the TCM. That may be the difference you see. Do a google search for engine swap overview site:jeepkj. Should get this thread https://www.jeepkj.com/threads/engine-swap-overview.53270/

    No Heat

    Plugged lines from the water pump or bad wwaterpump itself. That gage is not the most sensitive device. Aka - it lies sometimes

    LIBERTY -03 stuck in maximum heat

    I’m going for blend door as well. It is a booger to get at, as the whole dash needs loosened up and mostly pulled from the truck. If you need a quick fix, remove the hoses under the hood from the heater core and splice together with a hunk of copper (similar) pipe / tubing for the warm season...

    Rear Upper Control Arm (Boomerang)

    Check you VIN thru the dealer and see if your LCA recall was ever performed. The newer once are much tougher, but do fail as well. Fish tail at HW speed, sway to the right or left on acceleration and the opposite side on decel is usually LCA until proven otherwise. Clunk is the boomerang 90 %...

    HVAC Knobs Cracked

    get a buddy with a 3D printer and have him scan your existing knob and make a few. They might not be perfect the first time around, but 3D is amazing! My son made a replacement for an ammo magazine for me that I had lost years back. He scanned an existing with his phone and a few hours later...

    engine stalling after starting

    What can cause the engine to stall after starting? Only a cold engine. The car starts and when I want to move it stalls. I wait a while and then it starts. It doesn't stall when moving, only when I want to move from a place at low speed. It's a 2005 Jeep Liberty KJ 2.8 CRD. Could this be caused...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    The rack can cause issues a couple ways. If your fluid is foamy, the rack itself can be drawing air on the return side. If you seem to be losing fluid and it isnt leaking at the punp, it is likely that the seals on the rack are shot - or the bore scored. Either way, the boots (inner tie...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I got one to tear apart that we damaged putting the steering rack back in the 06. Bought a used one for 75 and got it installed. Just for fun, I hooked up the scan tool and read the steering angle before mounting the steering wheel. Was 358 degrees negative. Rotated properly and bolted it...

    Transmission Issues?

    Assuming the fluid level is correct, I would be in favor of dropping the pan (yet again) and taking that filter off. Big surface area of filter svcks up fluid and is routed thru the pickup tube - maybe 1/2 inch diameter. What difference would it make with out it. The filter is on the suction...

    Wipers, Radio, and A/C Clutch All Dead — Plus Odd Accessory Mode Behavior

    See if any of your issues point to a common ground here. Post in thread 'Myriad of issues after replacing heater core.' https://www.jeepkj.com/threads/myriad-of-issues-after-replacing-heater-core.79705/post-801742 There are a few grounds that start at the battery, and several through-out the...

    Brakes locking up on 2009 Jeep Liberty 4x4

    Is your speedometer reading at all? Is it correct? Do you have access to a scan tool with live data? Kind of curious as to what the wheel speed sensors read. R & L front , rear was a single sensor on the kj’s. Maybe there is a mis-match here applying the ABS

    Wipers, Radio, and A/C Clutch All Dead — Plus Odd Accessory Mode Behavior

    Just for kicks - run a temporary ground from the battery negative to the engine block with a jumper cable. Since it started with a pot hole / bump symptom and multiple systems affected, grounding issue sounds likely to me.

    Engine light is on with code P0700 and P0740 TCC issue

    Thanks for the JScan tip! Did not know that one. Beats dragging the KingBolen out when kj’s are carrying on. Just my opinion, i think OP is going to find the right front is the issue as that is where he had heat issues. I just burnt up my right front caliper and ABS sensor due to an...

    Engine light is on with code P0700 and P0740 TCC issue

    I understand. You have done a visual inspection with the camera. Since your issue is intermittent the scan tool real time readings might help you find the cause. Good luck. This one is tough!

    Engine light is on with code P0700 and P0740 TCC issue

    Have you considered the possibility that the right front hub/bearing/tonering was (is) damaged from the stuck caliper event? Hook up that scanner and get into the wheel speed sensor data - put the right and left front on to view in real time. Drive a bit and see that the right side is...

    2002 Liberty Heater only blows hot but ac is fully charged

    There is a lot to read here, but i wonder - you say you have cold air at startup at the vent and the freon is not low. Have you confirmed that the compressor is actually pulling in? When the system pressures are correct, the switches allow the 12v to feed to the a/c compressor clutch. Easy...
