Will KK front end struts and spring work on a KJ?
KK's top plate seemed to have a large outward slope. The bolt position seemed fine. The size of the rod bush seemed suspicious. However, I have not actually installed the KK plate on the KJ and confirmed it. It may be possible to install it by simply inserting an angle washer. If the rod end...- ikuo78

2003 KJ - fail of 4wd for a short time.
Maybe the rear wheels were spinning a little when you shifted to part-time. Sometimes, even if I shift to part-time to lock the front wheels during maintenance, they won't turn on. Even in such a case, if I move the car enough to turn the tires half a turn, it will turn on. When I want to get...- ikuo78

Breather lines
My KJ's front differential breather was cracked under the battery. I cut it about 20mm and reconnected it. I did that as a stopgap, but I just remembered it. Since it seems unlikely that the differential oil will exceed 200℃, I will replace the hose with a heat-resistant silicone hose. The parts...- ikuo78

What did you do to your jeep today?
Has it been running well since the crank breather was repaired? I think you can easily find out AFR by measuring it with an exhaust tester at a shop. You may be able to measure it with an obd2 scanner. The reason I'm concerned is because the risk is high when AFR is lean. It would be a good idea...- ikuo78

So, what coolant to use on 2002 - 2009 KJ Jeep Liberty's and Sports
It's sold on Amazon in Japan, but I guess it's dead stock. I bought one last month, but I think I'll buy more.- ikuo78

What did you do to your jeep today?
I replaced the gas spring on the glass hatch about 2 years ago. I recently noticed that the ball socket on the car body side is for 10mm, so I put a tight PVC cap on the ball to make it closer to 10mm. An 8mm socket is probably correct, but many gas springs sold have a 10mm socket. The socket is...- ikuo78

Project to divert KK coil to KJ
When I replaced the serpentine belt, I noticed some play in the water pump, so I replaced it without ignoring it. I was unsure about the belt length, so I drew a line at the belt tensioner's limit position (24mm before the stopper). In the end, the belt was too long, so I replaced it with a...- ikuo78

How To: Change front driveshaft / change a driveshaft head
Those boots tend to deteriorate easily, so I stopped attaching a boot band to the shaft side and just fastened them loosely with a nylon band. This will slightly reduce the precession load on the boots. Grease moves outwards due to centrifugal force, so there has been no grease leakage for a... -
“Unstable Engine Performance and High LTFT1 Reading Issue”
In most cases, a DTC will be issued and a check light will come on. If the damage does not meet DTC standards, nothing will come out. If I remember correctly, Since the correction value is -, the PCM determines that the air-fuel ratio is rich and makes a correction to reduce the fuel injection...- ikuo78

“Unstable Engine Performance and High LTFT1 Reading Issue”
Fuel trim is calculated from the O2 sensor value. It would be a good idea to replace the O2 sensor upstream of the bank that is over 30.- ikuo78

03 Liberty 3.7 Transmission Line Pressure Sensor Location - at a loss
Is this it? For 42, the pressure switch is attached to the valve body. There is an exposed upward facing connector on the right side of the transmission, but it cannot be replaced from the outside.- ikuo78

Project to divert KK coil to KJ
I replaced the serpentine belt because I smelled rubber from the engine compartment. The belt had many cracks. It was a different part number than the service manual. For the 2003 model, the service manual lists only one belt option. Maybe someone replaced it? I don't know the correct length...- ikuo78
