    Interest in oil pan removal write up

    The sooner the better, my neighbor is about to do the OP on an 02 along with the clutch and I mentioned he could do it without dealing with the engine/axle. Thanks!

    Head Gasket? Oil Burn and Milky Oil Cap

    I guess I need to read up on oil weights a bit, I always just stuck with the OEM recommend of 5W-30. However on my car I did switch from 5W-40 to 30 because you cannot buy the Castrol 5-40 full synthetic in the large 5Qt containers easily.

    Head Gasket? Oil Burn and Milky Oil Cap

    That will help a lot, I actually had the worst time finding this spong part and even the dealership had no clue and said there was no replacement so I just put a piece of cut out foam there, this helps A LOT, I replaced it about 1 year ago. 160k miles, currently using Castrol 5W-30 High Mileage...

    Head Gasket? Oil Burn and Milky Oil Cap

    OK so an update after this weekend. I did some digging and found that there is no dripping under the car or buildup of oil elsewhere outside the motor. No smoke out of the tailpipe and the coolant is clear (of course that orange/reg tint but clear). What I did find is that the PCV I replaced was...

    Head Gasket? Oil Burn and Milky Oil Cap

    That makes sense, it did rattle but could very well be defective. I'm racking my brain if it was a Mopar part of not, will have to check receipts when I get home but even still it could be a defective OEM part no? I guess I'm also a little curious why your pretty sure it could be a PCV, just for...

    Head Gasket? Oil Burn and Milky Oil Cap

    To be honest I'm not 100% on the PCV valve as it was replaced sometime ago. The hose assembly was bought in full from a dealer I know that. But I do know that since the PCV replacement the oil loss has actually increased. It clicked into place fine so it wasn't broken but maybe it's a bad PCV...

    Head Gasket? Oil Burn and Milky Oil Cap

    So for the past year I have dealt with having to add oil to the 2005 Liberty 3.7L. It started as a small bit, a half quart every 2k miles. I change the oil every 3-5k and as of late have been adding oil at a much higher rate, upwards of 1-2 quarts every 1k miles. I also noticed that under...

    2005 Limited Fog Lamp Bulb?

    I was hoping to pick it up after work before I got home, it's the wife's car so I don't have the manual available to look. I'll pickup a 9145 and see how it goes.

    2005 Limited Fog Lamp Bulb?

    I've been having a tough time with this one, most everything I find online from bulb guides to videos shows Liberty's with the lamps on the lower bumper with bulb 9145/H10. However our's is the smaller lamps nestled into the grill just off to the side and below the headlamp. It looks like a much...

    changed the bulb on the turn signal-still blinks too fast

    The bulb that is blinking fast is not always the culprit. Usually when the front flashes fast the rear is out, I would put on the signal and check both the front and rear. Also you may want to bend the little metal connection plates on the bulb holder itself. I found an issue with the rear...

    Rear end knock

    Could it be the springs? I replaced the shocks and springs on our '05 and now I get a random clunk/knock in the rear when going over certain bumps. It almost sounds like the spring is hitting metal on metal. I checked the rubber isolators but they look fine, springs installed the right way to...

    Oil low after 3 months

    We have an '05 3.7L Limited that burns oil. No smoke, no leak, just likes oil. Not incessantly but it will take about 2 quarts every 3k. I set the service minder on it for the lowest (2500) I think and also keep tabs on it on my own. Typically right before an oil change I top it off with a...

    Do You Have A Jug Of Windshield Washer Fluid In Jeep

    Never knew there was a Low Wash warning, I just top it off each oil change. I will note that you should stay away from the super cheap $2 bottles they sell, I don't care what they say about temperatures because I had to replace a tank and motor on my Civic because it all froze and snapped due to...

    Whats under the chrome door strips?

    I believe behind it you will find clips and then holes for the clips to sit in. I do not believe they are just stuck on. I would take them off, color match to the car (many sites/shops offer paint code matching sprays). Or paint them with plastidip, scuff them up and do a neutral tone, or go...

    Coolant Smell and Heater (dreaded heater core)?

    Figured it was going to have to be done sooner or later before a catastrophic failure. I should probably get on it before the winter too. Next question is the cost, I see them going anywhere from $20-$300 for the part on RockAuto and Advance Auto depending on the brand. Then Mopar has the OEM...

    Coolant Smell and Heater (dreaded heater core)?

    So for at least the last year the Jeep has provided a smell of coolant through the vents when turning on the heat. It doesn't last but it is definitely noticeable, however the heat still cranks just fine. I read up and also noted that the interior windows seem to get somewhat of a foggy film on...

    Rear Emergency Brake Shoe Replacement: Any Tips?

    Yup, I laughed at this as well and had to take the pic before removal, the other side had a little bit but it was falling off the bracket when I pulled off the rotor. 150k and never been touched until last night.

    Rear Emergency Brake Shoe Replacement: Any Tips?

    Thanks everyone, the passenger side took a little while but again my first time with handbrake shoes so it was expected. Driver side took all of 15 minutes, the biggest PITA was the rotor. The passenger did not want to come loose and I finally found a good video that helped a lot. A serious...

    KJ Headlights -Functionality Strange?

    We have it on our EVIC up top and set it to 30 or 60 I can't recall. Maybe those without have a default setting. I'm sure there is some weird turn the key, press the brake, set the radio to 101.5 to get it to change but I have no clue what that is. OT I found it so odd that my bil's Avenger...

    Rear Emergency Brake Shoe Replacement: Any Tips?

    I'm about to take this on as my next project tonight. Found a pretty good video on Youtube for replacement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLi4f-ndRc4 As some of you know I did the front and rear springs and shocks recently and did an E-brake adjustment on the little spur inside the rear...
