    anyone replace a front wheel bearing yet?

    I managed to damage the head of one of the driver side hub bolts when re-torquing it :( I didn't realise that the socket wasn't fully engaged on the bolt and I had a cheater pipe on my torque wrench, so I was able to exert enough force to twist the socket off the bolt while damaging the head...

    KJ cut out while starting, now won't start at all

    I've never heard that before, at least not when talking about a battery with the ignition off. In fact, all the information that I've ever read says that 12.6V with ignition off indicates that the battery is fully charged, and that a KJ battery should read 12.25 to 12.5V to be sure that it will...

    KJ cut out while starting, now won't start at all

    Seriously? 12.6V is low? I've had low-battery starting problems before, but I still got a response from the starter motor with much less voltage than that. Anyway, this morning it wouldn't start. Jumped the relay and it started. Got to work, turned it off, tried to turn it back on, got about a...

    PLEASE HELP! Liberty 2005 won't start -- street cleaning tomorrow

    I've just had a similar problem (I have a separate thread about it); I went to start the Jeep and it cranked for about a quarter of a second and then stopped. After that, turning the key gave me lights on the dash, but nothing else - no clicking starter solenoid, no trouble codes, nothing...

    KJ cut out while starting, now won't start at all

    I just jumped between pins 30 and 87 on the starter relay, and the starter turned. I put the relay back in, and the Jeep started on the key. Turned it off, turned it back on again, and it started again. We'll see what happens tomorrow morning, but does anyone have any suggestions as to what...

    KJ cut out while starting, now won't start at all

    Went to start my 2005 KJ, and it seemed to start OK - it cranked for about a quarter of a second. Then the engine just stopped. Now when I turn the key, I get the dash lights, but nothing else - no clicking solenoid, nothing. It won't start in neutral either. Battery shows 12.6V and the posts...

    HD Cooling setup

    The country of manufacture is irrelevant, what matters is the quality of construction, and that can be good or crappy regardless of the country where it's made. I'm very happy with Dorman's fan assembly :)

    HD Cooling setup

    I'd have to respectfully disagree. As far as I can tell, the Dorman fan is identical to the OEM one in every detail (including weight) and was a drop-in replacement. It's been running fine for 2 years now. How are you sure that Dorman doesn't make the OEM fans, out of interest? Do you know who...

    HD Cooling setup

    I'm kind of surprised that people are saying it's hard to source the shroud-and-e-fan assembly for HD cooling. Dorman makes it, and it's available from RockAuto for $114 - see here, about halfway down the page. I have one of these in my KJ, and it's been working just fine for the last 2 years...

    Removing rear driveshaft

    If it doesn't rain this weekend I'm planning to change the U-joints in my rear driveshaft. I've never had it out before. I just remove the bolts at the diff end and then slide it towards the transfer case, is that correct? Am I likely to need a persuading device (i.e. a BFH) to get it to start...

    Will this rad fit?

    Yup, that's the exact same rad you linked to in your original post.

    Qucik KJ Water Pump Question

    I was taught never to touch the block drain plugs unless you were planning to pull the engine, for the reason Luke gives. Why mess with a drain plug when it's easy enough to pull off the lower rad hose? You have to disconnect that hose anyway to change the rad, so using the drain plug is...

    Will this rad fit?

    The rad in my 2005 KJ parts catalog is 52080120AC, which crosses to 6 other numbers, including 52080120AE. In other words, yes it'll work, and yes that's the price you'd expect from an online Mopar discounter. I paid almost exactly the same for the same part about 2 years ago. List price is...

    multiple misfires

    I get occasional misfire codes, but they reset after the standard 40 key cycles, or whatever it is.

    steering wheel peeling?

    My bought-new 2005 started to peel after just a few years. I found a steering wheel cover that matches the colour scheme of the interior, and which also gives the wheel a much better "hand feel" because there's a thicker grip to it now - I never much liked the way the wheel felt before, it...

    Dealer says I have to replace front driveshaft???

    Very easy. I thought it would be tricky to do single-handed because the front lower arms are so damn heavy, but it really was a breeze. That said, I have a decent ball joint separator (actually an OTC Pitman arm puller) and a W7150 cordless impact which broke all the necessary bolts loose in...

    Power Steering Pressure Line Leak?

    When my high-pressure PS line began leaking I replaced it with an Edelmann hose - about $38 from RockAuto. Still just fine 3 years later. For all I know, the OEM hoses are just the Edelmann ones in a Mopar box.

    Steering intermediate shaft?

    Hi Tawfik, I had a growling from my steering that turned out to be a leaking high-pressure hose in the power steering. If it only happen on left turns, though, then it may be something else, like a wheel bearing. Where are you in the UAE? I'm in Discovery Gardens, Dubai.
