    now... it *might* be interesting to see if they can reprogram it to become an 06 v6 stick shift computer. THAT... would open some interesting possibilities. :D

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I can get it fixed. there's a shop in IL that'll repair it for $160+shipping+tx. I don't *need* it fixed though, as this is just a parts jeep. would have been nice to have it fully working, to help raise the value on the engine by proving it's a good lump. But it is what it is.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Sadly, I just confirmed my worst fears. Found a video online of somebody with a 2005 Jeep Liberty with the exact same p2308 error code, and how he diagnosed that it was indeed a failed driver in the ecm. I just ran the same check on mine, and the driver is shorted to ground. So, I'm just going...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I was thinking about trying the light bulb trick. my bigger concern is, swapping coils didn't fix it, even after pulling the battery. the scan tool is showing the coil not even being commanded to fire either. I'll get a screen shot from the 'tool in a bit.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    so I think I figured out what's going on with the engine. cylinder 2 doesn't fire. plugged in my Autel, and I see injector 2 isn't being commanded on. also see coil 2 isn't being commanded to fire. swapped coils; problem didn't follow. pulled plugs; they're actually practically brand new. #2 is...

    had to pull the broke trans out of the parts jeep. torque converter apparently popped out and got stuck. now debating not even putting the converter in at all, since the trans will have no fluid anyways, and I don't want to cause something else inside of it to seize up while I test the engine.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I've noted many times that, it accelerates just as "hard" (same rate of change for speedo) in 1st through 5th, regardless of how hard I press on the throttle. That's physically impossible unless it's doing some kind of torque limiting program. Also, it struggled to climb a hill in 2nd gear at...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    does anybody know if, the 07's with their drive by wire, do some kind of torque limiting? I've long felt for the entire time I've owned this thing, that sometimes the computer isn't giving me all the beans this thing can make. If it does, is there a way to get it to cut it out?

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    winched in the parts jeep. gonna reinstall the trans and bits, so I can start it, sort out why there was a misfire, and put the engine up for sale. what years will a mid-06 engine cross into? maybe a 2011? not that I like them, but I could get a bad engine one for about a grand, stuff this...

    depending on how long you were driving with that bad axle, don't be surprised if you need to replace the hub as well.

    if you're doing the pan gasket, change the pan too. it's probably already rotting out anyways.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    related: so despite the disappointment of a truck the kid and I went to look at, I can confirm that the jeep will pull the 2200# trailer with all the associated recovery gear on it, at 80mph without issue. and more importantly, the trailer doesn't shake any longer.
