    Front differential crush washer/pinion nut torque 500 ft/lbs??

    That cannot be correct. I installed 4.10's in my front diff and did not get anywhere near that. Pretty sure I recall torqueing to 160 then torquing in 5lb increments till the play was gone. Then I torqued till I got the desired rotating torque. Gotta be a typo.

    Power Steering Issue

    Yes, the cooler is on the return (low pressure) side.

    Drive wheels

    You'll be stuck spinning the rear wheels in full time with chains on the front. Full time is really only useful when the roads are partly covered in snow or its raining. If the roads are completely snow covered, I suppose it doesn't matter where the chains are, but use part time.

    Front end passenger side intermittent thumping vibration???

    Mine did that many years ago and it was a worn out intermediate shaft where the CV slides on. I had to get a new shaft and a new CV joint since I couldn't get the CV joint off of the shaft. That was in 2008 and when I replaced it, I packed it full of grease. Took it apart in 2020 and the grease...

    2005 Liberty TPMS - OBD

    My Autel 808S-TS does everything. Does your KJ not tell you the pressures? Does it only have a light that comes on when a tire is low or a sensor is bad?

    HD cooling dual fan question please

    Exactly, its nice having a backup. Not many vehicles are capable of having a backup like the KJ.... Especially when its can be a critical failure if the 3.7 overheats. I would only wire it to the high speed wire if I was certain the circuit can handle that higher amperage.

    I've spun bearings on every 3.7 I've owned..

    4,000 rpms in Park or Neutral?

    HD cooling dual fan question please

    Yes sir, you can just add the clutch/ fan blades... Thats exactly what I did on my 2004 and it works perfect. And thats exactly why I added the mechanical clutch and fan, for towing. Another interesting tid bit, the towing package came with a bigger transmission cooler. I finally got my hands on...

    Gear Pattern, Is it Good?

    That sure looks perfect to me. You said you added 0.01", what did you end up taking back out to get the final pattern? You're going to like that TT if you've never driven with one. I got to drive my KJ in the snow this week for the first time after installing the TT in mine and the difference...

    HD cooling dual fan question please

    That is indeed the HD cooling shroud... BUT, thats the non-HD electric fan. Im going to throw some more odd facts in the mix, thats most likely from a 2004 KJ. For whatever reason, ALL 2004 KJ's came with the bigger shroud like that. Didnt matter if it had the HD cooling package or not, it got...

    I've spun bearings on every 3.7 I've owned..

    Talking about issues with these Jeeps now days is a moot point... My KJ and its 3.7 are 20 years old and have given me zero issues, so should I be upset if something happens to it? No... And at this point, other than me (and some members on here), most people are not taking good care of a 20...

    HD cooling dual fan question please

    His connectors have already been cut off, so that wont be an issue.

    HD cooling dual fan question please

    You can certainly use the mechanical fan and shroud (I recommend getting a new clutch). You could certainly use the three wire fan if your Jeep does have a two wire setup. I would be curious to know how many CFM the single fan pushes compared to the low or high speeds on the two speed fan... I...

    Gear Pattern, Is it Good?

    Something I recently learned, its just as important to look at the pinion gear itself. The pattern should be near the center of the teeth. Im no expert, but it almost looks like it was too shallow then you went a bit too deep.

    I've spun bearings on every 3.7 I've owned..

    Ive heard of many other issues with the 3.7, but Ive never heard of bearing or oil pump issues. My KJ has lived a fairly easy life but its never been driven on level ground... Not sure what hat has to do with it. Ive taken very good care of it though.

    So, what coolant to use on 2002 - 2009 KJ Jeep Liberty's and Sports

    Are you ok? His post mentioned nothing about brake rotors. I've never used Mopar coolant. Only Zerex G05.

    Tow package question - got a new Libby :)

    You are correct, that is certainly not the HD cooling. From looking at that fan, thats not even the factory electric fan and it appears to be wired with crimp connectors. Im not certain, but I 'think' the HD cooling package came with a single speed electric fan. The non-HD cooling came with a...

    Are non-ABS front hubs/bearings interchangeable, or are they left/right specific?

    These AI responses are always amazingly useless. Ohh how far we've come!

    LCA snapped in half

    I dont remember things like I use to, but Ive never seen someone snap a lower control arm on a KJ. Its amazing you made it home and it didnt completely break. Thats cast iron I do believe, which makes it even more surprising.

    What does this plunger valve thing do?

    Ive never needed to put my KJ in recirculate to help with interior heat. My KJ actually has the best heat and A/C of any vehicle Ive ever driven. If both heater hoses are hot, then you either have a plugged heater core or the blend door isnt moving as it should be. Make sure you check the temp...
