water pump housing pipe tap threads?
so i was replacing the serpentine belt, and while i had it off, i decided to spin each component powered by it to make sure i didn't have a bearing going bad someplace. the water pump seemed a little stiff, so i popped it off to take a look. it turns smooth, but has a bit of resistance. which...- XWrench3

Proper Pressure
Certainly if your driving very aggressively you run that risk. I personally have never had an issue at 15 psi. One place you have to give tire pressure a lot of attention is in very rocky terrain. to much pressure can result in a bent (or broken if its aluminum) wheel, but to much, and you will...- XWrench3

Proper Pressure
I run 35 PSI on all of my vehicles. the tires wear evenly, and i get good fuel economy. the only bad thing about that pressure, is i feel every bump and surface irregularity on the road. if you want a SMOOOOOOTH ride, I would run something like 27 PSI + or - a few. but you will wear the outer...- XWrench3

17” Rubicon Wheels on a Liberty
personally, #!, I LUV the convertible look! but i would have to wonder about wind buffeting at highway speeds. back on topic, I am not a fan of wheel spacers / adapters. car companies / engineers spend a great deal of effort and money to make vehicles safe. if wheel spacers were strong enough...- XWrench3

2006 Jeep liberty has a rumbling noise coming from underneath
oh, p.s. if you have to take your Jeep to a shop, stay around the shop while they are changing the fluids, if there is a problem with the oils, they will probably want to show you what they have found.- XWrench3

2006 Jeep liberty has a rumbling noise coming from underneath
Are you, or one of your friends mechanically inclined enough to change the front and rear axle fluid, and transfer case oils? if so, that would go a long way to see if all 3 of them are in decent shape. if any of the oils come out silvery, then that is going to require further investigation. if...- XWrench3

START UP KNOCK
my liberty has a new noise. its intermittent, and only after the vehicle has completely cooled off. it sounds like a deep moaning knock, on the passenger side. it sounds like a dry bushing type of bearing that is both knocking and vibrating and moaning like there is enough play to allow the...- XWrench3

2004 Liberty running hot **SOLVED**
> Additionally I lossened the purge valve, and it never stopped bubbling, even after an hour of letting it run, it never stopped bubbling. That is odd to me. " that seems odd to me as well. the "oh no" might be a leaking head gasket. i know that there is a way to check if this is the problem by...- XWrench3

2004 Liberty running hot **SOLVED**
FWIW, I completely removed the thermostat from my Liberty (3.7L) after a complete cooling system flush including removing the radiator and flushing it. in normal temperatures (70-85) my Jeep runs between 165 and 180 degrees running down the highway (with the A/C running @ 85 outside temps. to...- XWrench3

not so good vibrations
well, its a LOT less money! thanks! the only problem is its backordered almost every place. I'm still looking, maybe i will get lucky and find one sitting on a shelf someplace. so I have to ask, does the needle bearing go bad that supports both this and the drive shaft? my Liberty has close to...- XWrench3

not so good vibrations
please tell me there is a less expensive place (Mopar) to get the axle extension shaft. $238.00 for such a simple part seems ridiculous. and at this point, its the only place i can find one.- XWrench3

not so good vibrations
Well, I finally got around to looking at the front end of my Liberty. That was the HARDEST diagnosis i have ever made. NOT! boy, if only all troubles were that easy to find. the inner cv joint is almost flopping around on its own sitting there in the driveway. so i looked at the service manual...- XWrench3

not so good vibrations
so my Liberty has picked up an intermittent vibration in the front end, only over 65 mph. its on the highway, only, (the only place i go over 60) . i can feel it in the steering wheel. it does not matter if it in a straight line, or going around a long curve. it just comes and goes as it...- XWrench3

i think louvers are a great idea for getting rid of heat. i'm just not to sure about water (and salt mist infiltration on warm winter days) getting all over all the electronics of modern era vehicles. if i can come up with a (good and easy) way to move all of the electronics along the drivers...- XWrench3

trans cooler
hmmmm, my liberty came with full skid plates front to back (engine, transmission, transfer case, and fuel tank). and to be honest, im not sure that pan would 1) fit, and 2) get enough air flow to cool the pan to make a difference. my skid plate does not look like the one in the photo below. its...- XWrench3
