hard shift when cold
When you say "cold" do you mean cold as in 20-30 degrees or cold as in it just hasn't warmed up yet? The viscosity of the transmission fluid is quite a bit higher at start up - especially in lower ambient temperatures than it is when its near or at operating temperature (around 170 degrees)...- Hockeygoon

Coolant leak
I'll check the lower hose - the overflow tank area is dry - both visually and felt the hoses on it and the hoses leading to the heater core. If the lower hose leaks - does it run towards the back of the engine?- Hockeygoon

Coolant leak
My 2005 is now leaking coolant - on top of all the other issues. I haven't crawled under it yet - haven't had time the last couple of days. Its on the passenger side in the reservoir area - only lower. The heater core hoses are fine and everything that can be seen from top appears dry -...- Hockeygoon

What did you do to your jeep today?
So you spent $2100 for basic maintenance on a vehicle with trade value between $800 and $1400 with the expectation its going to run 200K more miles. Cool.- Hockeygoon

What did you do to your jeep today?
That's very optimistic. If it even makes it the first 200K most PT Loser owners would be ecstatic.- Hockeygoon

5x8 trailer behind a Liberty?
If someone is actually pulling those trailers with a Liberty I hope the cops shut them down. Bad enough when they actually have a big enough vehicle pulling them.- Hockeygoon

If you don't find anything after inspecting the CV joints try rotating the tires.- Hockeygoon

First time liberty owner.
If you don't know the history start by assuming it needs everything. Transmission service, spark plugs, differential and transfer case fluid, coolant and air filter. Go with "regular" copper plugs. After you spend some time under it changing all the drive train fluids you'll have a pretty...- Hockeygoon

The Great Debate
Exactly. The more the oil is stressed (city driving, towing etc...) the more heat, the more the fluid breaks down. That's why the newer cars with synthetic oils usually don't even have a recommended fluid change, its not that they run cleaner - they handle heat much better. I'm surprised that...- Hockeygoon

Snapped drive train, rear end locked up
I agree. Setting up a differential is best left to someone that knows what they are doing, experimenting on your own can be expensive and lead to a repeat of what got you here in the first place. I've seen freshly rebuilt rear ends from shops fail in extremely short periods of time -...- Hockeygoon

The Great Debate
Actually places like that won't because people bring their car in just like my sister's neglected and abused with issues hoping a transmission oil change will help - some times it will, sometimes it won't. The owner grudgingly spends $100 getting it changed then screams bloody murder when the...- Hockeygoon

The Great Debate
Agreed. I've never had a transmission fail by changing the fluid and I've only dropped a pan a couple times in my life - usually done by flush. The only ones I dropped the pan on are the ones that I could drain the TC (usually a Ford C6 and E4ODs, I don't see reason or benefit to mix dirty...- Hockeygoon

The Great Debate
Where is the second filter? I've changed a few "screens" and only once did one have much of anything in it. If the transmission is wearing like it should the wear particles should be small enough to pass through the screen. If you have "chunks" a new screen/filter isn't going to do you any...- Hockeygoon

Snapped drive train, rear end locked up
I agree with this. Not only will you save in towing costs while you limp from home to shop - you'll get a chance to check out the rest of the power train. A rear end locking up at speed can not be good for the transmission or the differential. Maybe it will be just fine, but one or the other...- Hockeygoon

Possible new engine? If so... (code P0120)
Any idea how long it had been driven low on oil? With all the extra noises coming from the engine and those two items it doesn't surprise me that it was diagnosed with a major failure. Replacing the engine is a PIA unless you go with a rebuild - and then finding a decent rebuilder is another...- Hockeygoon

I would agree that is usually the case, but sometimes maintence will not overcome piss poor design and excessively sheap OEM parts.- Hockeygoon
