    Gasket vs gasket maker

    I'm going to be changing the oil and gasket on my rear differential on my 2006 Libby. Should I use a paper gasket or apply gasket maker from a tube? And if I use gasket maker, what brand and type is compatible with my gear oil?

    Since the transfer case has no dipstick . . .

    Around 99,600 miles. On the receipt: 5 qts 5W20 oil. Called the dealership and the parts guy says, and I'm not making this up, 5W-20's better for the summer. Serves me right. I should have don it myself.

    Since the transfer case has no dipstick . . .

    While we're on the subject of my Jeep's bodily fluids, I have two other questions. First, there's a bit of weeping from the rubber plug on the rear axle gear housing. Could this be solved with a new plug? Then there's the matter of the 5W-20 oil a local dealership used when doing an oil...

    Since the transfer case has no dipstick . . .

    How would you know to add fluid 'as needed' as stipulated in the schedule B of the maintenance handbook? Also, anyone know, off hand, the allen wrench size for the fill and drain plugs on the transfer cases?

    Cargo Baskets

    I should also mention the installation is not complex but it will be a lot more pleasant if you get another set of hands to help.

    Cargo Baskets

    This is the Surco safari cargo basket. It came with cross bars but it may have been additional money. Check with them on their website. Their customer service is real good, and there is a video on Youtube that reviews the basket and shows how to install it.

    Loose gas cap

    Ok, I started it up today and no check engine light. By the way, when I said it was loose, I mean turning it three clicks didn't tighten it. Not side to side, but circularly.

    Loose gas cap

    But why would the cap remain loose even after tightening it three clicks?

    Loose gas cap

    The check engine light went on in my Liberty. Naturally I immediately checked the gas cap and it was loose. But even after three clicks it was still loose. So I bought a new gas cap. Same problem; three clicks and it's still loose. I'm stumped.

    Where's the harness?

    It is the strangest thing. There's no kind of wire or plug near the hitch. Could they have installed a tow bar with no harness? That would be pretty crazy.

    Where's the harness?

    I believe it's a factory tow package. But I can't find he plug for the trailer harness.

    Where's the harness?

    Where in the world is the towing lights harness on a 2006 Liberty? I've looked all around the bumper, the towbar, even inside. Where is it?

    Cargo Baskets

    OK, I went to Amazon to buy a Surco cargo basket. But according to Amazon the Surco racks don't fit the Jeep Liberty? I checked Surco's web site and it says the S4550 fits the 2006 Liberty. What's the deal?

    Cargo Baskets

    I'm picking up a 2006 Jeep Liberty on Saturday. I'd like to mount a safari type cargo basket on the roof. Surco makes one that looks good, but I don't know if it will fit this jeep. I want one that can be mounted easily to the existing factory rails, and will accept accessories for clipping on...
