    Jack,Scissor,Bottle,HighLift or What?

    That could be but I seem to remember jacks being vented. But those are old memories. :) The jack I have is a brand new 4 ton.

    Jack,Scissor,Bottle,HighLift or What?

    Do you have to keep the hydraulic bottle jacks upright when stowed? I was going to stash one under the seat but I didn't want a leak.

    bogs down when accelerating

    Automatic transmssion? Isn't that the speed when OD is coming in? Give it gas and it goes right off?

    2004 Jeep Liberty (3.6L/V6) "chugging"

    3.6 L V6? I want one! Seriously, is the chugging just at an idle or when you give it gas going down the road?

    lower radiator hose?

    Not a bad idea for sure. Seeing the other Chrysler cars in your signature line - you are not a "noob". :)

    lower radiator hose?

    My new lower hose did not have a spring, so you might have to pull the spring out of the old one. If you forget, I am not so sure it matters. If you are changing your hoses because you think one is leaking, start looking at your radiator. Mine started dripping off the end of the lower hose...

    Required Fluid Types

    I went through this with Dodge Neons. It will work with ATF-4 but will shift better with the synchromesh fluid. I read somewhere else that the synchromesh fluid is the preferred fill and was the factory fill, but when Diamler Chrysler was low on cash and pinching pennies, ATF-4 became the...

    "New" 04 Liberty Sport, things to look out for?

    Agreeing about the OEM air filter. I had the K&N drop in and gave it up. No HP or MPG advantage. It's not cheaper until several cleanings go by. If you have time to wash, dry and oil the filter, go for it. I found it tiresome. If I were to shop again for a washable, re-usable filter, it...

    Are these guy's serious?

    :) I have a question... If the Z Max is a mineral oil that soaks in to the metal for protection, what keeps it from soaking through and dripping on to the ground?

    Radiator Install

    I appreciate that! I searched but clearly I didn't go far enough. Haynes 2002-04 book says to remove bumper & radiator grille, this "how to" showed that it wasn't needed on an 05.

    Are these guy's serious?

    That looked like a 318... It isn't going to blow up anyway. :) The only thing that could help the 3.7 would be known restrictions that a modder could exploit for a gain but there doesn't seem to be any. The exhaust and intake are big enough and flow well enough. I used to mess with...

    Radiator Install

    I am getting ready to replace my radiator in my 2006 KJ. Do I really have to remove the bumper & radiator grill? Some of you have referred to the battery tray. I am not sure that mine is in the way but the relay/fuse box in front of it might be? Also I may hook up the radiator trans...

    Replacing radiator - anything else while i'm in there?

    The one I bought came with a gasket.

    Coolant system diagnostic assistance, please?

    I also thought I had a lower radiator hose leak. But I think it was the radiator tricking me. Now leaking in 2 places. Next paycheck...

    '07 Jeep Liberty (KJ) - No Heat

    Maybe it's low on coolant with an air pocket in the heater core.

    subframe connectors on a KJ ?

    BTW I am a little older so when I was at the drag strip in the mid to late 70s I remember seeing 11 second 4 speed Novas and Camaros buckling their 1/4 panels at the launch and with every upshift. Subframe connectors and "back halfed" cars were just coming in to the scene back then.

    subframe connectors on a KJ ?

    The muscle cars that need subframe connectors usually have very litte visible frame structure under the passenger compartment, just stamped steel. incommando is right, Mopars didn't need sub connectors, especially the hemi & 440 cars, key points were reinforced with a another layer of...

    Best way or place to get a spare key?

    All noted, thanks for the info. You don't have to tell me twice about staying away from the dealer! Although my dealer wasn't bad at the time, they are closed now.

    Best way or place to get a spare key?

    Any idea how much? It has to be better than the $885 I was quoted to resolve the situation at the farm where I was parked at. Luckily I was able to borrow a truck overnight to get my other keys.
