    03 3.7 strange over-heating issue(OBDII figures in post)

    Thanks for the responses. Can running too lean or too rich or having the fan not work cause over-heat going 50MPH in 68F weather? I've had this blamed on my PCM by a mechanic or two due to a O2 short once. No other issues with my liberty besides over-heating though.. The numbers from Torque...

    Is there a "towing package" and what is it?

    I haven't looked enough to know. If there is a trans and/or oil dedicated radiator I'd like to get the part numbers to put them on and maybe save some wear when hauling my 800lb trailer on grades.

    Is there a "towing package" and what is it?

    Most OEM towing packages are oil and trans radiators with some spec suspensions. Anyone know if this gen of liberty has one and what it includes?

    Remove pilot bearing on shaft with engine swap??

    It's been called both on the net even though you're right. I got it off. It can be drilled or you can swap output shafts too.

    Remove pilot bearing on shaft with engine swap??

    Manual going in to auto '03.. Everything works except torque converter is held up by pilot bearing or "bushing" on the manual-engine shaft and no puller or grease seem to work. How did others past this? I've read people got it off but no descriptions.. Heavy Irony: This never gets a descriptive...

    Difference between 4wd and 2wd and Manual and Auto engine?

    Can you swap a 4wd manual 3.7 engine with a auto 2wd 3.7 engine and vice versa direct fit? I'm seeing mixed answers through search. What about a 2006 4wd manual 3.7 in to a 2003 2wd auto 3.7?

    Actual weight of the 3.7 assembly?

    Does anyone know roughly the weight of the 3.7 with all accessories attached? This has been asked before but never actually answered. I need to know so I can get some equipment to move a couple and I don't have scales for things above 300lb. My ford 302 engine years back was only 487lbs but...

    Ouch...(not sure what else to say)

    $1,100-$1,600 for a low-mile used engine and around $1,000 typically to have a experienced mechanic install it completely. 1/2 or 1/3 what you're going to pay for something else that likely has something wrong with it because nobody sales a car until they get a lot of money for something better...

    oil consumption?

    Spend tens of dollars and have a compression and leak-down test done. It saves you thousands. I think pan leak, pump leak, filter leak, valve seals, sending unit, and head gasket are the points of cause for this. I'm just getting in to these engines so I'm no expert but I see pump and sending...

    '02 3.7 Spun Bearing - Help

    Thread is high on Google index so I'm posting here. The main bearings are great on the 2002-2007 Liberty. The two oil pumps are just awful. They go out somehow giving zero-pressure and this in turn heats and breaks your bearings. DTC never thrown. If you're lucky it doesn't scratch the shaft...

    Places to buy plug wires and OEM headers?

    OEM manifolds non-replaced from factory. Typically on the first connection weld. People also seem to have issues with the oil pumps just giving zero pressure pressure do to failure.. Statistics stuff "manifold"/header leak threads are how I found the forum off Google.. Supposedly they happen do...

    Places to buy plug wires and OEM headers?

    I have a auto 4x4 so I especially don't care about the 5-45 HP they typically give to cars on various part of the rev. I care because liberty headers have this interesting tendency to develop leaks and welders and muffler shops couldn't care less if they temper them right after welding with...

    Places to buy plug wires and OEM headers?

    I have a 3.7 4x4. Oreilly, Advance, NAPA, and Autozone don't have plug wires and replacement headers on their websites or in their systems in the stores. What's up with that? A couple have universal plug wires by a company called BWD or something similar. I've found used headers on Ebay that...
