    New AC Condenser Oil & Whining Noise?

    Hey All: AC clutch was in the process of dying (making scraping noise) - so I ordered a new AC Compressor kit online that included the condenser, recovery tank, o rings and a few other items. Also ordered a new belt and pulley system while I was at it since the Libby has 170k on it...

    Speedometer Issues - Sensor & Pigtail Replaced

    Ok, so we have the jeep back - and the major speedo issues are gone but are still getting an occasional bouncing. Son tonite swears that it's tied to having the AC fan on position 2 or 3 and when it is - the speedometer gets wonky. He says it doesn't happen all the time but if he fiddled with...

    Speedometer Issues - Sensor & Pigtail Replaced

    Nope, it's only the speedometer that we've noticed. On the stalling - the correlation was mentioned when I was searching for solutions to this problem. Hasn't happened recently though. Anyway - will check the fuses you mention - though if it was a fuse problem that supplies the cluster...

    Speedometer Issues - Sensor & Pigtail Replaced

    Hey All: 2003 Jeep Liberty is having what is a common issue with our trucks, the speedometer is working intermittently, sometimes falls dead, sometimes bounces, sometimes works. Truck would occasionally stall - which I understand can happen when it's not getting signal from the speed sensor...

    Random intermittent beeping

    I have to ask... why HOAT and not reg. antifreeze

    OK, so today after being told by this thread - went back into my Lube Center place and asked them to swap out the coolant they put in a couple weeks back and replace it with HOAT coolant I brought along with distilled water. I showed them the important parts of this thread and the guy there...

    Heater Core? What to check / costs?

    Following up - took it to the dealer. Had the heater core flushed/coolant changed and made sure they used HOAT. Guess what... heater is back to tip top shape and is hot as an inferno. Oh, and on my other Liberty, talked with the lube place I go to and they said they would swap out the...

    2wd / 4wd shift broken?

    I saw cheap repairs where it was the clip that attached it that broke (like a 5-10 dollar part), but they said it was the actual wire that snapped...

    2wd / 4wd shift broken?

    Ok, so got it to the jeep dealer today. The cable that connects the selector to the transfer box is indeed broken. Here's the kicker. They say the cable has be ordered with the selector shaft. It comes as one. As a result - we are looking at a $650 repair. Seems preposterous that you...

    2wd / 4wd shift broken?

    The way I have done it per the owners manual: When you switch from 2H to 4H it's done either stopped or in motion up to 55mph. No neutral and releasing the accelerator to allow the engage/disengage to happen faster. 4L is a 2-3mph roll (in neutral) His has 2H / 4H / N / 4L Mine has 2H...

    2wd / 4wd shift broken?

    I didn't do anything. My son did something. That's what I'm trying to figure out. And you are talking about shifting to 4 Low which I don't think he did. I think he was shifting from 2wd to part time 4. Regardless, its in 2wd and won't shift into 4PT while moving or into 4L in neutral. The...

    2wd / 4wd shift broken?

    Ok, so I went out of town the last few days and got a call about 5 hours before I got home from my son asking me how to get the 2wd/4wd selector/shift to lay flat. I'm like... huh??? He said he was driving yesterday and engaged the part time 4wd because the roads were slippery. The right...

    Heater Core? What to check / costs?

    Ugh - figures. Good to know though since it's supposed to last 75-100,000 miles or so right? Might as well fix the mistake that was made only last week. Who knows though what the previous owner had in it for the first 150,000 miles. Makes me wonder... Ok, so I don't typically change my...

    Heater Core? What to check / costs?

    Ok, so - I'll go talk to the shop and ask. Did buy a couple bottles of HOAT coolant (since I have 2 cars) on amazon to have on hand with distilled water I'll pick up at the grocery store - so I'll be prepared either way. Worse case I'll have some spare coolant. Also now wondering what my 03...
