    Jeep won't stay running

    Well I went to Walmart during my lunch today and had them see if my key had a chip just to make sure and they told me it definitely doesn't. Think I'm into getting a new PCM or having a shop hook into mine to see if it can be reset.

    Jeep won't stay running

    It ran with the other motor in it yes. I pulled that motor because it was knocking and now with the new motor it won't start. Could the PCM be fried? I thought maybe it had to do with me using a jump box to start it but this morning I pulled the battery from my DD Liberty and it still did the...

    Jeep won't stay running

    I only have the one key for the vehicle and it's the black key which as far as I know isn't chipped. As for swapping the PCM it is the same one I didn't switch anything. The key symbol on the dash doesn't light up either if that helps.

    Jeep won't stay running

    I recently pulled the motor out of one 03 liberty and put it into another 03 liberty but now when I try to start it it will run for about 2 seconds before shutting down. There is one code showing up p1686 I believe this has to do with the SKIM. Any ideas on where to look or what to try to fix...

    kk springs on a kj

    Will ome springs from a kk also work on a kj. I looked on the ome website and they seem to be the same part numbers but I just wanted to make sure before I buy them. I found a used set with less then 2,000 which is why I'm asking. Thanks

    timing chain kit

    If you don't do with the mopar one I would recommend the cloye's timing set for it. I have used there timing sets on plenty of other motors and never had a problem. I also just put this set on my 3.7 I rebuilt for my liberty. In my opinion it's very good quality.

    carquest waterpump

    Anybody use one? Is it a good one or goes bad in a couple months? I know some things are better to go to the dealer so just wondering if this is one of those things. Thanks in advance

    2003 engine rebuild

    well as the title says I am rebuilding a motor for my 2003 jeep liberty limited. I thought about just getting a new motor or having a low miles one from a scrapyard put in but I decided to go this route so I could do it my way and know it was built right with quality parts. Also I weighed out...

    Santa was nice tjis year

    Well for Christmas this year I went ahead and bought myself another liberty. These little jeeps are addictive. This was an 03 sport with an engine knock. IT was just to good of a deal for me to pass off. Had full skids on it which I put on my DD untill I can get something better as well as...

    Cannot find coolant leak

    Finally found this leak. Turns out it was a crack in the overflow bottle and once I did the pressure test I could see a small amount leaking. I will be going to several junkyards and pick-a-parts over the holiday break and will add this to the list of liberty parts to find. Hopefully that is the...

    Cannot find coolant leak

    I checked the radiator in the corner after driving to work but didn't see anything. I will wait to see what the pressure test reveals before I buy a new radiator. No point throwing money at that if I have bigger problems. I still get the smell out of the exhaust but its not a constant smell more...

    Cannot find coolant leak

    I'm not sure who made the replacement radiator I got it off ebay (probably not my best decision I'm hearing). I know it's not a mopar one though. The original cracked on the driver side as well. I'll look there first during the pressure test. I hope this isn't a head problem.

    Cannot find coolant leak

    I will perform a pressure test this weekend and inspect it on the lift again. The only time I get a coolant smell is the first start up of the morning if I have someone else start it and I stand behind it. Otherwise after that if I start it again it doesn't do it and it doesn't do it when it is...

    Cannot find coolant leak

    I have noticed lately that my coolant level drops about 2 inches below the cold fill line after 2 weeks of driving, and if I go on long drives it seems to be more missing then just short trips around town in those two weeks. Now I just had the system flushed and new radiator and thermostat, and...

    Possible head gasket leak please help

    Currently I have Mobil 10w-30 in it but I just put Mobil 5w-30 in it this morning as I heard that may help to switch to 5w-30. I will see how it goes in the next couple weeks.

    Possible head gasket leak please help

    Thanks guys that's definitely a load off my chest knowing its not a head problem. As for the PCV I replaced it when I did all the other work with new hoses and everything so the PCV should still be good as that was about 1000 miles ago. I will just keep an eye on it for now and keep everything...

    Possible head gasket leak please help

    Well today I went to check the oil because of all the work I have done to the libby recently and noticed it was about halfway in-between the marks. So I know it uses some oil anyway that's not my concern right now. When I went to put more oil in and removed the fill cap I noticed a milky residue...
