    2 jeeps which to buy !!!

    Go with the 06, it has four less Canadian Winters on it and that trumps everything, unlike BC and Alberta where salt is not used, one is too nice and the other is too cold for it to work in the Maritimes you will have salt and it has been at the brake lines, fuel lines and the underbody. It may...

    Thanks for the good advice, that's exactly what I did, it was easier than i thought, I hope I will be good for another 7 years. By then the jeep will just broken in.

    TPMS question

    thats a good point, when i installed them, the evic is reading 0 on all four corners and is flashing. it appears the 04 is different from the 05 and up in that the later years use some sort of transponders in the wheelwells, 3 of them. It appears that to wake them up and start transmitting they...

    TPMS question

    I have a 04 Liberty Renegade that after 8 model years, the batteries in the Tire sensors are starting to wear out especially here in the minus 20 to 30 days and nights. I ordered 5 new ones from Rockauto and no problems there but when I got them, I wondered if they were already transmitting a...

    Owning a CRD vs Owning a V6

    Around where i work, with all the diesels our company uses, (even they are starting to see the light) we have all kinds of good nicknames for the diesel trucks and cars. Ford Diesels... Powerstroke----powerjoke GM durajunk (over 1500 for a fuel pump) Dodge---Diesel on Dodge Gutless Engine...

    Owning a CRD vs Owning a V6

    I have been around diesels for quite a long time, from the 6.2/6.9 of the early days, engines that nearly did in the diesel to the 7.3/6.0 and now 6.4 for ford and the 5.9 to 6.7 cummins all the way up to the 15 liter bigguns in the big stuff. There is only one word for Diesel and thats it...

    "New" 04 Liberty Sport, things to look out for?

    Have a good look at the rear of the jeep near the top rear brake light, look for signs of rust as this was a weak area on the vehicle. if you have an evic with tpms, then the batteries in the tires are probably close to being on their last legs unless they have been changed already. Other than...

    Will a tranny from a JK work? 42RLE

    In 2005 Chrysler changed their electronics in their vehicles to a different system, so if you could make them fit, they may not be able to comunicate with NGC that came with the Liberty. I would just get it rebuilt and have done with it. I would also scan it and see what comes up or use the...

    Snowbear makes one for the 02-06 Libby, the only one they specifically exclude is the Diesel version

    general rant

    Ah, that makes sense, good thing his plow did not hit or you would have spun out and caused a far worse problem for you and your wife.

    general rant

    It is strange that his mirror hit yours, Rams are much higher and I would have thought the plow would have hit considering how close the vehicles were.

    Bad/missing TPMS sensor

    Last Summer when I got the vehicle, I was driving it and up on the EVIC, the message came as Spare Swap detected, I had noticed that on the vehicle all the tires but one were bad, I guess to certify they had to change one. I was able to take 500 clams off the price because of that. BFGoodrich...

    300,000 Miles - Never been towed!

    It proves that the Liberty is a great vehicle if it can stand Montreal's potholes and cement falling off bridges. No matter what, that is quite an accomplishment.

    Bad/missing TPMS sensor

    I have the same issue on my 04 Renegade, I ran the same tests with the magnet and the EVIC and the spare did not register. My Amber Tire light however sometimes during driving will come on and blink exactly 10 times then go out, all pressures are perfect including the spare so I am doing some...

    DRL's

    Somewhere around 05, Chrysler stopped using a reduced light output for their DRL, now they just use highbeams and they are a royal pain to see coming at you. Especially the Rams and Grand Cherokees, Americans are lucky they dont have DRL as a rule for Chrysler otherwise roadrage would ensue...

    '07 Tailgate Lock Deactivation?

    Funny you should mention that about the rear door lock, because I also deactivated the autodoor lock function but the rear locks anyway. It may be worth noteing that mine only locks after the vehicle is put into gear and has started to move. I have not looked at the Body Diagnostic FSM yet but I...

    05 to 07 Repair manual

    Keep in mind that the FSM only provides general information. If you want info on a DTC on either the engine or Transmission you have to buy the Powertrain FSM, if you want info on Airbags or Dashboards or wiring diagrams for these, you need the Body FSM, for ABS etc you need the Chassis FSM...

    42RLE transmission reprogram/shift kit??

    Great Discussion, I am glad I am not the only one to notice the dramatic dropoff between OD and 3rd. I wonder though, does the Diesel have the same issues or even the same tranny?

    drive cycle

    Joe, in order for the monitors to run they need to do it in specific conditions, those two you mentioned have not yet been run because those conditions have not been met, they may in fact be in conflict with other tests being run. The PCM task Manager determines the tests. If you want to run...
