    Best Way to Check 4 Wheel Drive

    I want to check the operation of the 4 wheel drive prior to changing all the fluids. What's the best way? I have the front jacked up, I could just jack the rear and see what spins regular and then in 4 wheel drive. I can imagine there are those that can hear the solenoid engage in the...

    2008 Liberty Limited Oil Filter

    Oil pan looks normal. No rust or bangs, but I like your idea of some paint on it. Since I'll have to have the at pan out I'll assess it then and even see if I should just replace it. Good to know about the temp on that. There is salt and some other crazy road/snow/ice stuff, but not really...

    2008 Liberty Limited Oil Filter

    You are absolutely right Tom, I shoulda got the KJ. But, I didn't. I'm happy. Next I think is ATF and filter. The at pan looks a little rusty and a little poked, from a rock maybe, or something. I'll buff it and put some paint on it. Also my rear transmission cross brace is looking rather...

    2008 Liberty Limited Oil Filter

    Had a lot of fun today changing the oil and filter. The oil plug was on so tight I had to get out the impact to get it off. Torqued it back on. There were no oil leaks on the ground after a month, but some started when I got going in there. Then for the filter. That's a real joke there...

    TPMS New Sensors

    I had posted in an old thread (or two) about my experience on my motorcycle. Those old threads, even tho' I new posted in them don't show up in "New Posts" due to the way they have set up this forum. On my motorcycle, the tpms sensors were still working but 12 years old. So I replaced them...

    TPMS New Sensors

    Thanks I watched that video and I have been watching a lot of his videos in the last month or so. He works on a number of Jeeps, but mostly, or all KJs, and no KKs as far as I have seen. It always sounds to me like he is saying welcome to the Self Made channel. But he's actually saying South...

    TPMS Light Blinking

    More resurrection. My understanding was that Ford, thanks to the suits there, (I mean the business execs) didn't want the Explorer to ride like a truck so they recommended 24 lbs pressure in the Explorer. Way too low. Would cause blow outs in any tire, when the lazy people let them get much...

    New TPMS sensors won't relearn

    Yes, necrophilia here, resurrecting an old thread. Finally Gopher solved his issue by getting Discount tire to do what he paid them to do and what they are supposed to know how to do. If you see my other thread, I am having this issue but want to find the solution before I buy the wrong...

    TPMS New Sensors

    I'm having a problem with one of the sensors on 2008 Liberty Limited, with TPMS. One tire is always reading low even tho' it isn't low. If I just get a new sensor from Mopar do I have to "wake it up" with a tool, and then program it in, or do they do that on their own. On my motorcycle I had...

    2005 JEEP Liberty Center Wheel Cap Size

    I think the only way to verifty on that is measure what you have. I have yet to find any wheels like mine anywhere. And those caps are going to be specific to the wheel, and not some standard size. The wheels on the Jeep might be original equipment, or something the dealer changed out with...

    Opening Door for Door Lock

    Well a snow fall over night has delayed my 2nd set of hands til tomorrow. I did manage to get the speaker out and feel behind the glass at low point. I can feel the connector and the tooth tab that has to release. Tomorrow with the second set of hands, who understands the issue and the...

    Keep Liberty 2008 shaking at start up

    When it does that, have you tried shutting it off, and then trying to start it again? dc

    Opening Door for Door Lock

    Thanks Howard Yes, that gives me another new idea. That I may simply have to take out the speaker and go in to the outside of the glass. I saw on one video that it just snaps back in for reassembly. My other overnight thought was, put a magnifying glass over the hole and maybe I can see...

    HD Fan Clutches

    I thought that was too low myself. As far as I can see the KK works exactly the same with the mechanical fan and clutch. Just screws onto the water pump and uses a larger shroud. dc

    Opening Door for Door Lock

    Thanks Liberty I had seen that one. I still can't see what he is pushing on. I'm going to wait til I get a second set of hands, them on the glass and me trying to push the tab. It isn't at all clear in his video as to how he is pushing, or pushing to the side, or what, nor what he is pushing...

    Opening Door for Door Lock

    I'm trying to open the passenger side front door to find out why the switch and remote won't lock the passenger front door. I've checked the fuse, and found power to the side of the fuse, and the window works and all the other locks work, but not this one. I have seen all the videos and posts...

    HD Fan Clutches

    I am looking at this idea. My Liberty came with some parts of the tow package, but not the mechanical clutch and fan. It does have the full spare, hitch and wiring and transmission switch. And I intend to tow a small atv trailer. So I may want to add the clutch and fan. In previous...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Charged battery. Started up nicely after new plugs yesterday. Low rear pass side wheel, as when I bought it. I'll check for nail or loose stem. Otherwise to the tire shop to remount. Put on new strut supports for rear window. Ready now to get it up in the air and work underneath on all...

    Belt tensioner bolt stripped

    I specified "for a few dollars more, they now have rather good battery powered ones." I then added about the Home Depot packages. A "few dollars more" is not "a couple hundred bucks". No matter what he buys, he can use any tool for more than one job. And that would be the case even if you...
