3.7L liberty not starting after fixing PS fluid leak
hmm - something does not add up here. You worked on the PS and then the security lite comes on afterward - did you all remove / drop the steering column? If yes, did the steering wheel stay in position? - curious about the status of the clock spring. If no - there is not a real good reason...- DadOSix

2007 AC needs replaced
Here is a fun fact - my 04 was eating refrigerant every few days to a week. Lib was in Baltimore for an extended time and when I went to pick her up from #2 son, of course, no a/c. Got a can of stuff and cooled it down for 150 miles. Leak detector said it was the compressor ( sniffer unit)...- DadOSix

Help with AC system
Ok - i see that. So - what are your high and low side pressures? Jeep off - Manifold set blue to low port and red to high. These numbers should be equal with the engine off. And should also be near the outside ambient temp. If you have lower pressures than outside temp, you are low on...- DadOSix

Changed starter in 06 KJ and it still wont start
Agree with 3bar - ground ground ground. But we gotta know —- where is this splice located? Because if it worked before and you had to re-work that splice, something did not get re-connected or still has a bad section of cable relative to the splice.- DadOSix

Help with AC system
First thing is you need to find that leak. The oil on the HP line is almost a dead give-away. Any place you see oil on an AC system usually points to the leak. I made a mistake a few years back with one of the sniffer detectors. I was getting a hit at the rear of the compressor. Sweet -...- DadOSix

A/C Stays on in Heater Mode
It is a feature - the compressor runs to keep the moisture in the cabin air lower. Defrost mode runs it so you do not get ice on the windshield inside.- DadOSix

05 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED EXHAUST SMELL BURNING OIL SMELL
check the pcv valve piping. It is brittle and splits easily - will not usually leave a drip like a leak, but will fail a smoke test and does let exhaust gas from the crankcase into the engine bay and you smell that burning odor. start at the air cleaner and work your way back - each valve...- DadOSix

Drum brake adjuster troubles
Also - the above is great info. Consider another look at your backing plates. If there are grooves worn where the shoe contacts the plate, it is near impossible to : 1- adjust automagically 2- get the right alignment of the hardware. The shoe either sticks, which you do not feel because it...- DadOSix

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/- DadOSix

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 %...- DadOSix

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...- DadOSix

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...- DadOSix

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...- DadOSix
