I finally took a decent picture of the Hellas I've had since January, haha.

Mine is at about 1500 RPM at 50 MPH in 4th gear/overdrive with a 3.7L V6. I have the stock tire size. At 55 (normal speed around here), it is around 1650 RPM.

My 2007 (ESP) used to make grinding sounds when I had wheel spin on the rear axle. With new rear brakes and a diff fluid change (It pretty sure just the brakes fixed it), the sound went away or became very quiet.

We got tons of snow! I couldn't get a pic in the deep drifts (I'd get stuck if I stopped, lol), but I took this picture after I climbed up the hill in the background. You can see all of the snow on the hood and grille that I pushed through; my hood and bumper were clear of snow when I set...

The surveying stuff took me to Crane Hollow in Hocking Hills on some trails that aren't normally available to the public. Crane Hollow is not far from Conkle's Hollow and Laurelville, and it is right outside of the tiny town of Gibisonville. Even the actual paved roads down there are tons of...

I drove it around some forest roads in Southern Ohio to do some light off-roading while doing survey-related work. :) I think my new skid plates came in handy when I ran over that tree branch. lol

lol I don't know, but it's not doing that now. I'm heading back there soon to pick up parts, and I will ask the service guy then. I'm just baffled by this whole thing... I will also be watching my oil and coolant very carefully.

I just got home from the dealer, and my Jeep's running fine! I didn't see any drips or leaks, and there was no smoke. I guess it was the water pump. lol I guess everything's all good now. I just don't know how the water pump caused this. lol Let's see how well water pump number 3 holds up...

The dealer thinks that the water pump is the problem. I'll find out if that fixes it soon...

I would think it's all condensation, but it is pouring out at such an alarming rate. Even if I didn't think it was a head gasket, I would have probably shut off the Jeep because I have never seen this before. It has never behaved this way before. Mine normally drips from the tail pipe when...

Thanks for everyone's input. I don't have access to a pressure tester today, so I am getting it taken to a dealer I trust because I need my Jeep back ASAP. I'll check that they do the pressure and compression tests. I might as well add that this leaking started after only 30 seconds of the...

I am standing by the rear passenger side door, crouched down, as I look at the muffler from the passenger side. There was enough liquid dripping that I could smell it when I tried, and the smoke from the exhaust was also a sign. I haven't overheated my engine at all recently, and I've been...

Crap! I figured out where at least some of my coolant is getting out... This literally just started today... At least, I caught it quickly. This is coming right before the muffler on the exhaust pipe and at the tailpipe. It smells like antifreeze, and there is also white smoke coming from the...

I just installed the new skid plates. And I think I see a lift in my future... :D

^I'll do the pressure test ASAP and will clean off that spot on the radiator to see if any new streaks appear.

Recently, I replaced the radiator cap and refilled the coolant. After maybe a month and a half, the coolant level has gone from "full" to just a 1/4 inch above "add". I don't think there is a problem with the radiator cap. I also checked the oil level, and it has not changed and looks normal. I...

Mine is a 2007, so it's possible that yours is different. My OEM cap says 18. If yours says 16 on the OEM cap, then you should stick with that.

That might be what I bought, assuming it's the correct pressure. Also, +1 on NAPA if you can. EDIT: Mine is 18 lbs.

I recently got a cap from Auto Zone, and it's working fine. I just asked for one suitable for my Liberty. They had caps around $5-$10. I'd recommend a locking cap that can release cooling system pressure so that you can open the cap without waiting for the engine to cool. I'm sort of perplexed...

To make a long story short, the parking brake shoes failed a while ago, and I've had trouble since. When they failed, the rivets that held the backing plate all broke (corrosion didn't help). Today, I took off the brake rotor and pads so I could get to the parking brake shoes. I wanted to remove...
