Need front pads- reuse rotors?
Maybe they will turn it for $10, but I've not found anybody who'll touch one for under $20, new rotor for the liberty start at $15 according to rock auto. most if not all of the aftermarket rotors are from china (even some good names you'd think wouldn't farm out production), so I would not be...- Conundrum2006

Need front pads- reuse rotors?
You can just swap pads if it's not too glazed. Maybe a light sanding to freshen the surface. Last time I had rotors that needed to be turned it was more economical to buy new. used to be a few bucks to get a rotor turned, in our area I couldn't find anybody to turn them for less than $20 a...- Conundrum2006

What I need to swap engine from 2003 Liberty 4wd into 2wd Liberty
The pans should be the same too. Car Parts. Com shows 3.7 liberty 2002-03 on the pan. Later years may work but you have to see where the drain plug is and if it's in the way of anything. Far as the 3.7 it's the same engine 2wd and 4wd . Oh, to pull the engine you'll need to get the intake off...- Conundrum2006

Jeep won't stay running
Assuming all is well with the motor, the code he gets for SKIM in a non SKIM jeep would make me think the PCM has a problem. Unless something else can cause a similar failure. If it's not the PCM then, it's a hunt for a random fault somewhere. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Conundrum2006

Jeep won't stay running
What may have happened is the SKIM system erroneously thinks it should have a chipped key. If is doesn't even have a SKIM at all and gives that code I would guess it's a bad PCM. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Conundrum2006

Did it run before? What it's doing now is what it does when it started with a key cut for the lock but not paired to the computer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Conundrum2006

Liberty 05 leaking where condenser
IMHO Got to be cracked. Never seen a radiator where sealing depended on a bolt from the condenser. Wouldn't take the pressure either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Conundrum2006

Could someone check these AC readings?
The high side seems correct the low for me needs to be 35-45, in the 40 range the ac starts to feels good front and back. That is with dual Ac and in the July heat. The FSM had 50 psi low side as being right for the 250 psi high. My harbor freight mana food and gauges does not read the low...- Conundrum2006

Ac clutch or bad tensioner
What does it do when you rev the engine? Mine does the same thing, not full articulation of the idler that it bangs. But it bounces at idle with the ac on. Rev it and/or hold the rpm up its smooth. I don't remember what the old tensioner did. Btw it's a brand new mopar idler...- Conundrum2006

Engine rattle
I get that. I don't think of it that way because I'm always checking fluids. I've seen perfectly good cars in junk yards sold for scrap for very stupid reasons. Talking Minimal maintenance, me and friend would sometimes flip them if there was a good title. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Conundrum2006

Engine rattle
You might try a thicker oil. And get a good filter on it. Big deal will be is if the is a pressure switch failure and the level is low aspirating the oil. When my old crud encrusted engine the oil pickup the warning light would come on and it sounded like hell rattling. In that case fluid was...- Conundrum2006

To be fair should anyone expect a huge oil loss in a week? Even going by fill ups . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Conundrum2006

Good idea a lot of things powered by the belt can cause confusing sounds when they start to fail. Oil level is worrying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Conundrum2006

End of an Era
Now ya got a truck you'll need a trailer queen jeep to tow to the trail. ;) I like the f150, it does not feel like a truck at all. On the hwy it has incredible manners, plus as you say room to pack things in. Mine is the older 07 with 330 motor. I'm sure the newer models have a improved ride...- Conundrum2006

2007 Transmission Fluid Level
I don't have the dorman dipstick, I do have a similar one to read the nag1 transmission, there should be a cold and hot running in park readings. I topped it off with atf 4 at the bottom of the cold range then topped it off again after about 12 miles of driving. Depending how he did the flush...- Conundrum2006

1st Jeep purchase,need help.
There will be more maintenance kind of things just because it is 4x4, things like axel fluid, transmission & transfer case fluid at more frequent intervals. On the 3.7 engine I'd look at it real hard for signs of sludge. Basically if the past owner had oil changes on schedule. That and any...- Conundrum2006

Whitish Smoke only at idle
I doubt the pan gasket is leaking. The way it works it very unlikely to suddenly leak. Valve cover and crank seal (and rear main) are more likely. White smoke is usually coolant related. Now bluish would be oil. I'd check the fluid levels and see whats happening over time. Sent from my...- Conundrum2006

Vibration - Power Lacking
Oh, the other part dealer technicians recommended replacing is the Crank sensor and cam. Supposedly if the signal is wrong at idle it can do exactly what described. I've read of plenty who did replace it with no results. The commander transmission is that Mercedes NAG1, it is ok far as...- Conundrum2006
