    99000 miles must be the breaking point!

    Lucky bastard. I wish that was all I had wrong with mine.

    3.7 Piston Removal

    Probably a 216 or 235 I6. The rod bearings were "splash lubed" with a low pressure oil system for the most part and had babbitt bearings. The babbit bearings were replaced on a somewhat regular basis - sort of like changing the transmission oil today. Drive them somewhat hard and the babbitt...

    BAD Front Differential problem

    Which also probably means no damage to the pump. Find you leak in the line or coupler, replace it and you are good to go.

    3.7 Piston Removal

    Probably meant it "SHOULDN'T" be done. As mentioned by others you install a piston from the top, compressing the rings to feed it in from the bottom sounds like a giant PIA - if its possible but about anything is. If you are going through the ordeal of pulling the engine, the crank and the...

    Knocking sound when accelerating 02 liberty

    I had a similar experience, the rod bearings were wiped out at 75K miles while the rest of the engine was fine. Replacement engine and install was about $4000.

    How many miles on your KJ

    Mine (when its running) averages 19 MPG with 2/3 highway and 1/3 city driving with every tank of fuel. I know it gets 22 highway so city mileage is around 14-15 MPG. 2005 with 75K and the 3.7.

    Roof rust

    I don't know what you are looking at. The metal is rusted through in two spots. The rust started on the inside and most likely is across the entire rear of the roof incompassing the 3rd light and the hinges for window. Definately not something you will fix for $20 - $30 unless its a "dealer...

    Bleeding 3.7 cooling system

    What does running the heater do? On most systems the coolant is constantly running through the heater core no matter what the blend door and fan are set to - is the Liberty different?

    Joined The Window Regulator Club Yesterday

    The entire assembly off Ebay is only $37.00 to $45.00 depending on the supplier. The dealership unit is around $200 or so isn't it? When mine failed the cable broke off and the motor quit working the next day.

    Need to Replace Radiator. Which one?

    I have 1997 and 1990 Fords with their original radiators - and the 1990 is seeing daily use now that the 2005 Liberty is in the shop - again.

    Need to Replace Radiator. Which one?

    Given all the radiator failures I read on here I have to wonder what is so great about using a Mopa replacement?

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    It has a 3 year 100K warranty for parts and $50 an hour for warranty labor. Basically I'm on the hook for $50 an hour. So, instead of taking it in the shorts in trading it to be someone else's problem its going to cost me about $600 to install a 4th engine. Meanwhile my 25 year old Bronco is...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Typical Dodge product. The original engine was throwing metal shavings with every oil change. Shop put it in a lift and you could hear the rods knocking from the bottom side of the engine. Tore it down and the rod bearings looked like they 200k+ miles on them - all were scarred and worn...

    Drive Side Seat Upholstery & Squeak...

    Decent seats for my Bronco were impossible to find. The ones I had the cloth was worn out and the padding was destroyed. Upholstery shop wanted $200 to fix just the bottom of one seat - and I'd heard their padding doesn't hold up more than a couple of years. I bought a pair of really nice...

    How tough is a KJ?

    What did you have to do with it keep the front end from falling apart under the abuse of using a plow? Most people on here complain about the springs sagging from normal highway driving.

    Gas over-fills every time

    Ethanol has only been around as auto fuel since autos needed fueling. Its been commonly available in gasoline since the 1970s and early 1980s when lead content was reduced and it was added to boost octane. Any manufacturer that is using products that have a poor interaction with ethanol is...

the first 'e' is done - you just need to restrict the angle of the file so you don't accidentally remove any paint!!
