Dropped the trans pan & added new fluid , drained the transfer case & refilled with new fluid , drained the front differential & refilled with new gear oil & replaced the transfer case switch that controls the lights in the dash to let you know what position the transfer case lever is in . Will...
I'm a little confused about the 02 -04 working . After reading this thread & others I went on ebay & put in 2004 jeep liberty pcm . All the pcm's had 4 connectors . My 05 has 4 & my 02 has 3 .
If it was mine I'd try to find a good used engine & swap it in if the jeep is nice & doesn't need much other work . I would estimate that a remanufactured engine installed by a shop would cost at a minimum 4,000 & probably closer to 6,000 . A fairly low mileage engine on CarPart.Com runs close...
My personal opinion is that if you have a shop install a remanufactured engine you'll have more in it than it's worth , especially if the rest of the jeep isn't in near perfect condition . In my area you can buy a good running liberty for much less than what you're going to have invested in...
I know someone that thought a rod was knocking in their KJ & started parting it out . When they removed the transmission , they found loose torque converter bolts .
My engine was coming out anyway so it really didn't make much difference . The engine is out now . I removed the oil pan & found my knock . Spun bearing on # 4 rod . This engine just had the heads rebuilt & a new timing chain installed right before the rod started knocking .
Are you guys saying...
Removed the bands / clamps from both sides & the front hanger bracket & the y pipe dropped enough to remove the starter . Still wondering about swapping manifolds & y pipe . I have a spare set of 05 exhaust manifolds & a spare y pipe . I am removing the engine from the 02 so it would be easy to...
On an 02 the drivers side cat prevents the starter from coming out . Will removing the bands / clamps that hold the cats to the exhaust manifolds & dropping the crossover pipe down to the crossmember allow the starter enough room to come out ? The front shaft is out .
Another question , anyone...
Obviously , something happened with the transmission or related sensors to put the transmission in limp mode . The first thing I would try is clearing the codes & see if they come right back . Possible hiccup if transmission was working properly till this happened . I research & work on mine...
I swapped engines in my 05 , had a high mileage engine with low compression & swapped in a low mileage 05 engine that ran well . I swapped oil pans only because the engine I was installing had a dent , installed all new expansion plugs which wasn't really necessary because the ones that came out...
I have an 05 & an 02 Liberty . Both were bought with engine problems . I found a low mileage 05 engine & installed it in the 05 . Repaired a few other little odds & ends & now have a very nice 05 .
Getting ready to start on the 02 . It has a slightly knocking rod . Just before the rod knock...
