    Damage control

    I wouldn't worry about it on these engines - the ones this became a huge issue were the earlier Ford 4.6 engines - their aluminum heads only had about 3 threads in the spark plug hole and a 12 ft pd torque spec. You could strip the threads just snugging them up before you even checked them with...

    What is the best oil/filter to use?

    Who is producing a spin on engine oil filter for these engines (or any other engine for that matter) without an anti-drain back valve?

    Who knew Ford, Chevy and Dodge were using the wrong antifreeze for decades.

    Woke up this morning to find my side view mirror was stolen...

    How hard would be for the mirror to just fall out of the housing?

    2002 engine knocking -replace or rebuild?

    Or what kind of day the rebuilder is having when he assembles it. They never could figure out why the original engine took a dump with so few miles.

    2002 engine knocking -replace or rebuild?

    I did it both ways, the junk yard engine that was guaranteed good never powered the Jeep out of the shop. The reman engine with 100K warranty is being pulled and replaced with another after only 6000 miles on it. The original engine was lightly knocking and had a lot of metal from the rod...

    A/C Bit The Dust

    The Liberty runs the AC when any climate function is being used - including the heater - even when the AC button isn't lit up. Nearly all vehicles - including the Liberty - run the AC pump (if equipped) when the defroster is in use.

    Power Steering Fluid Low = Noise

    Use Bar's transmission stop leak to top it off. No "fiction additive" like Lucas to mess up the pump. It may or may not work, but its better than running while its low.

    Stumped by new heater core

    Unless its leaking what would that have to do with anything? Most likely has a film of "something" (a light oil or a cheap paint) from the factory that needs to burn off. That or when they replaced the heater core they didn't clean the coolant up very well from the leaking core and the...

    3.7 oil crud probelm

    Most likely the MOPAR water pump is made in China too. Somewhere on here I've seen posts of people that have found a replacement pump with a metal impellor instead of the cheap plastic impellor on the MOPAR.

    2002 engine knocking -replace or rebuild?

    Without opening the engine its hard to advise you. A cheap and dirty rebuild will probably run around $1500 - $1700. That's new rod bearings, new main bearings, re ring the old pistons, polish the crank, hone the cylinder walls, and a new water pump. Probably should throw in a new oil pump...

    Dead 04

    How many miles on the Jeep? Have you been changing the oil yourself - even notice metal in the oil? If you have typical mileage (170k or so) I wouldn't bother with a rebuild. My 2005 only had 85K on it and the replacement engine and install was more than the Jeep was worth and mine has...

    transfer case leak. need opinions.

    I forgot these are not filled through the same hole as the check hole. I'm to used to the logic used in the design of most machinery.

    transfer case leak. need opinions.

    Short of standing the vehicle on end how do you over fill the transfer case?

    Misfire detected Cyl 5 - not flashing

    Agreed. If you don't know I would start with maintenance at ground 0 and assume nothing has been done. The first weekend I owned my Liberty I changed the engine oil, air filter, transfer case, differentials and had the transmission flushed. Did the same with my Bronco. Difference is my...

    transfer case leak. need opinions.

    Given the spacing I doubt the amount of heat they would have used would have affected that seal. More likely filling it to the correct level revealed the leak.

    Heater core

    Agreed. A cracked block will make you heater core worries go away.

    dash lights randomly all lighting up

    That would be where I would start. A poor ground can cause all sorts of issues that appear random.

    2004 Possessed by The Devil

    Then bless the Jeep by sprinkling the gas on it with lit candles around it?

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    About 15 minutes? And half of that was finding the right socket?
