    Is this Gila Monster? Found for sale in WA state.

    Deals too good to be true usually are. That bumper+winch alone is worth close to $1k so even if it isnt running it should be priced higher.

    P1281 Error 2002 Jeep Liberty

    Sounds like a stuck open thermostat to me. the only confuser for me is when you say the two hoses are cold/hot. It is hard to compare the temperature of each hose at any point in the start/warmup if I am not sure which hose you are talking about. Typically if the thermostat is stuck open the...

    Why does the power steering pump scream in cold weather?

    New pumps (not reman) are the way to go, not sure which you have but I haven't had good luck with remans lately. Usually take the reman back and slap a new in if I can. Echoing Jason, if everything has been replaced and air bled, there must be something wrong with your pump if it is still...

    Do hyper-flashing signals hurt anything?

    regarding electrical safety: be sure quality work is done in your home. Electrical fires are no fun, and if your home insurance finds out you had unlicensed or unpermitted work done, they will fight your claim and they WILL deny it. I work for a commercial electrical contractor and I see this...

    Poly Rack Bushing for KJ

    add me to the list as well. I just looked and the mud is all broken free around the rack so I know it has been moving a little since I got it muddy.

    I don't think you can rely on the results of your old tests in comparison to your newer advice. The compression test was a year ago, you probably need to disregard that for now as a primary symptom, or go and have the recommended compression and leak down tests done. Pcm and compression...

    Alignments

    I like Rockauto because their prices are dirt cheap and they have a really good selection. The added bonus that I dont have to go deal with the autoparts stores is usually lost about 4 hours into any major work when I realize there was something I missed/forgot and now need to go buy it to get...

    Aftermarket Remote Start 05' Liberty

    All I have is one chip key(just like the one above minus the viper remote). You cannot go from one chip key to ANYTHING except a duplicate of that key without going to the dealer.

    Alignments

    Alignments are an issue post lift for sure. If you were stock height I couldn't see it being and issue. Since I was aligning post lift I had to call around to a bunch of places to get mine in (most places wont even consider aligning a lifted liberty). I used a packaged lift kit (mudds econolift...

    Aftermarket Remote Start 05' Liberty

    You mean you didnt want to go to the dealer and spend a hair under $600 to go from one key with a remote to two keys with remotes? I only have the one key on my 06 and that was the quote, and even though I am an electrical contractor actively remodeling the mechanics work area in this chrysler...

    Rear t-case output shaft loose

    It is pretty quick to remove the rear driveshaft. Then you can get ahold of the output shaft directly to see how it feels by itself. Also, I went looking through the manual and it seems that you can get a fair bit of diagnosis from the outside if you remove the seal here (manual shows a...

    Rear t-case output shaft loose

    I checked mine and I have a small amount of movement here as well, but very small. Hard to tell if it is the spline or the output shaft, but it is not sloppy movement and parallel to the axis of the shaft. I don't have a dial indicator to measure it, but its that hard to tell how much it moves...

    If all you are seeing is a P0305 (cylinder 5 miss fire) and nothing else, then there could be a couple of MUCH easier things than an engine or head shaving required. Typically if the ONLY symptom is a misfire in a single (and always the same) cylinder, than it could only be a handful of...

    2006 Liberty Traction Control w/ larger tires

    Yeah, open diff, stock gearing. I have toyed with disabling traction control completely, but according to this you loose ABS as well (because you take out the fuse they share), so not sure it is worth it for most people...

    2006 Liberty Traction Control w/ larger tires

    I have an 06 and I get this whenever it is wet or if I am trying to climb something really sandy/loose. (for others beside Mudd) If you haven't experienced it, it is like a missfire in the engine is causing power loss (hesitating and sputtering), but the second the traction control stops...

    Tool for Removing Timing Chain Guide

    T35? I am pretty sure i is a regular torx, just a between size you didnt have. I dont think this will work. If you slack the timing chains at all you will need to reset the tensioners before you can re-assemble. Timing marks also need to line up perfectly, and this has never gone simple and...

    Another EVIC install - NEED HELP !

    I just chopped mine with a razor and sturdy scissors. I wasn't smart enough to grab a piece of the existing for a template, so I traced the outline I wanted from the evic itself, and because I was worried I cut inside my line and made the whole too small, then cut more little by little until I...

    Another EVIC install - NEED HELP !

    I know the part number for the evic/otis are all over the place and I had a really hard time making sense of it. But I also didn't care to add tpms since its typically a finicky and expensive system anyways so sorry i am not going to be any help there. cross your fingers the dealership gives...

    Another EVIC install - NEED HELP !

    At the very bottom of this page it goes over the TPMS training: Installing an OTIS Havent done it myself, but it sounds like you just open up the menu option to enable training and then use the magnet on each sensor to activate them. I have worked with a lot of industrial instruments that...
