Hi all, Thanks in advance for any and all assistance. Tonight after driving my Jeep all day, perfectly fine, I got in it to drive up to the store and it barely wanted to start. It stalled 3 times, then ran extremely rough with plenty of backfiring, surging, and bogging, so I parked it. I drove...

Hi all, I want to apologize for all the problems I have posted questions for lately. I have time to work on the Jeep now, so all the projects have begun before summer wheelin'! Today I replaced the high pressure power steering line. When doing so, when I went to remove the brass compression...

I wanted to check with y’all about the steps to recharging the KJ’s ac system. So my KJ was in a frontal collision in 2004, and sat in a shop’s yard for 7 years before I bought it and rebuilt it from essentially the ground up. One thing I never did was repair the AC system, and because the...

Sorry to create another thread, but this is a separate issue. I would like to put a remote start in my 2003 KJ with the SENTRY alarm system. I do not want an alarm/remote start system, I just want a very basic remote start system that will work in conjunction with the alarm. I am ok with using...

Hi all, I searched for quite some time and read a few threads but never got an answer to a question I have. I have an 03 KJ Limited with the infinity sound system. The speakers in this system get distorted badly at higher volumes and I wanted to find out how easy/hard it is to upgrade this...

Hi All, I need some input. I am replacing my Daystar 2.5” lift with a real coil lift and I need help figuring out what my best lift options are. My max budget is $800 and my KJ is a 2003 2WD limited 3.7L Auto. I am thinking that I will order OME 790’s/948’s, however, I am wondering if that set...

Hi all, just a quick question... If I install a flowmaster super 44 muffler and weld it in, do I need to worry about burning valves due to reducing back pressure, because I plan on removing the 2.5"-->2.25" factory restriction in the exhaust. Or is this exhaust causing burnt valves as valid as...

Hi fellow KJ'ers. I do not post very often but I read the boards everyday. I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty Limited 2wd with 19,000 miles (yes nineteen, it sat for 7 years after being wrecked) and I am currently getting an average of 8mpg city and at best 14 mpg highway with the 3.7 engine and 45rfe...

Hello all, I have a quick question! I need to get the Oil pan/front suspension, transmission, and fuel tank skid plates for my 2wd KJ. I also need to get front tow hooks and I plan on buying all mopar parts. My question is will the 2005-2007 transmission skid plate fit my 2wd kj with the 45RFE...

Hi all, I don't want to come across as noobish, but I need some help picking out a lift for my 2003 kj (build date 09/2002 not sure if it is pre lowered). I have been doing research for hours and have only confused myself. The kj will be my daily driver and is 2wd. It may see a light to...

Hi all, I changed, or am in the process of changing my 45RFE's fluid and filters. I bought Wix filters for my 2wd 03' liberty and I am having difficulties removing the main filter seal from the valve body. Is there a trick to this, or is a special tool needed? Also I forgot to pre-fill the spin...

Is there anyway to tell if you have the 8.25 or dana 35 rear axle? I am almost positive that I have the 8.25 open diff with NO abs in my 2003 KJ 2wd limited. Also if I do have the 8.25 axle, how many splines does it have (27 vs 29 vs?) because I want to order a lockrite locker for the rear, and...

Hi all, now that my liberty is running and I bypassed the radiator trans cooler and used a Hayden 679 model as a stand alone cooler, I need a way to monitor the transmission temp. I have a scangauge in our Chevy Trailblazer and it is awesome, measures everything including trans temp. However, I...

Hi all, I am in the final stages of my jeep project and the last thing I am stuck on is trying to figure out where the crankcase breather hoses go. Do they even have hoses? I am talking about the hose barb looking things on the back of each valve cover right behind the last spark plugs. If...

Hi all, Happy late new year. As a few of you might know from the "where did you find your kj" thread, my uncle gave me a 2003 Jeep liberty Limited 2wd that was wrecked and totaled. All the body and frame work was done and I was put to the challenge of re-assembling all of the mechanical and...

Hi all, My name is Jacob and I just acquired a 2004 Jeep Liberty 2wd for free that was in a front end colission. All of the body work is done and now I have to fix all of the electrical and mechanical issues. Believe it or not the KJ has only 16,000 miles but has been sitting for 5 years. I am...
