    I'm ba-a-ack!

    I will re-check the window sticker, and I'll look at the code, but I'm pretty sure it's cherry.

    I'm ba-a-ack!

    Looking for a Dakota, 6 speed, V6 4x4, for a drive to work truck.

    I'm ba-a-ack!

    Wait until I get it claybarred, waxed, and the black plastic trim renewed. Then I'll get a couple pics out in the sun.:cool: I was looking for a newer Dodge Durango, to keep in the garage as a "goin' out" vehicle and something else cheap for a daily beater for work, where I have to park in a...

    I'm ba-a-ack!

    Well, here she is! I can't believe the condition of this Jeep, there is no rust at all anywhere, not even bubbles. I think it's every bit as clean as my 2017 Ram. There are a few dings, nicks and scratches, most of which I think will buff out. The interior is also amazing, and yes that's a sun...

    The damn sensors...

    Check your ABS wheel sensors, and wiring. The ABS is connected to many other systems, including cruise control, and will throw check lights. Also, I agree with ^^^^ Mopar electronic sensors only.

    I'm ba-a-ack!

    Well, 1 or 2 of you might remember me, it's been a couple years. If everything works out, tomorrow I will own a 2012 deep cherry red Liberty with only 58k miles on it. V6 auto.

    The KJ is a "perdiddle" now!!

    To all who "upgrade" headlights... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, park your vehicle with headlights on, on a flat level parking lot, walk a hundred feet or so away, turn around and look at it. If you can't look at the headlights without being blinded, change back! That's what those coming at you on...

    2005 Liberty overheating

    That's why I always say, "Fix the cheap, easy stuff first!"

    Engine issues, running rich with bad gas mileage, stalls, hard to start

    Wow, so much. OK, first, pumping the gas pedal on a fuel injected motor to start it, does absolutely nothing. That only works for carburetors. If a head gasket, or head issue, you will see bubbles in the radiator, and a coolant test will show exhaust gasses. Good on changing plugs, fix cheap...

    Liberty drivetrain into a CJ, YJ, TJ, Wrangler?

    Actually, I was perusing a certain well known, much maligned, classified 'site and noticed some parts Libby's, and a few good Wrangler frames, so I put 4 and 4 together, came up with 9, and thought hmmmm, I wonder if that would work.:happy175: Plus, I really liked the 6speed. You guys are...

    Liberty drivetrain into a CJ, YJ, TJ, Wrangler?

    Ummm, no. I think I said earlier, I'm not trying to build the ultimate rock crawler, nor do I have NASA's budget. If I wanted to spend that much, I'd just buy a new one.

    Liberty drivetrain into a CJ, YJ, TJ, Wrangler?

    Thanks. Those responses were why I asked. I really like the "build it up myself" option. That way I know exactly what I've got, and I like "tinkering". Been looking at some decent "rollers", just need body parts, about $2200 for full 'glass. Not going with a V-8, a 6 will do. I want a little...

    Liberty drivetrain into a CJ, YJ, TJ, Wrangler?

    So then it's possible? I've found frames, with bad bodies, bodies with bad frames, and overpriced junk, with both bad. So I got to thinking "why not build one from the ground up?" I found a couple "parts" Libby's, with the 6speed, and good Wrangler frames aren't that hard to find. Right now...

    Liberty drivetrain into a CJ, YJ, TJ, Wrangler?

    I was thinking that since the Libby is IFS, where the front driveshaft doesn't move around, the stresses are pretty much in a straight line, the t-case may not be strong enough for the motion and angle stresses of the Wrangler axle.

    Liberty drivetrain into a CJ, YJ, TJ, Wrangler?

    Still looking for a Jeep, maybe a Wrangler instead of a Liberty. Sort of looking for a project, I've come across some doozy's. So, is it possible to put a Liberty motor, trans, t-case into a Wrangler style Jeep, or is it a really bad idea, and why? I really liked the 6 speed in my Liberty, and...

    "Dead" cylinder with compression??

    What Jason said. The only thing I would add is to check the spark plug for operation. There is a possibility that the wiring to that cylinder coil is faulty, although that should throw a code. I forgot that those motors are overhead cam and do not have lifters.

    "Dead" cylinder with compression??

    If the valve is stuck open, it will release compression, and/or hit the piston. If the rocker malfunctions the valve will not open, and you will have compression. I don't think your problem is the spring, that wouldn't cause a dead cylinder. It seems like it is either spark or, it is in the...

    Would this be easy to install on my KJ?

    Hardest part might be finding space for it. Then just hook up the wires. Chrysler used to have a weird horn setup, hot to horns then to button to ground. Not sure what they have now.

    "Dead" cylinder with compression??

    Since the injectors and coils were already replaced, try switching them around, to see if the "dead" issue moves to another cylinder. That would indicate whether new coil or injector is good. It is possible for new parts to be bad. If bad, get replacements, hopefully problem solved. If not...

    "Dead" cylinder with compression??

    What do you consider a "dead" cylinder? Typically, that would be one without ignition (spark). So, is there good spark? It could have good compression with a stuck valve, are the valves working properly? Broken rockers happen on the V6's. You might need a better mechanic.
