    Oil smell after hard uphill pull

    It currently has 159K and some change miles on it. I will do a test run up that hill sometime this week and pop the hood and check. I've done that before (right after I changed the valve cover gasket) and I saw smoke coming from behind the passenger side of the engine. I let it cool and...

    Oil smell after hard uphill pull

    OK, I posted back in December that I had changed my passenger side valve cover gasket to get rid or the burning oil smell. Well, I've driven it to work almost every day since then and it finally quit stinking. I have a 15 mile commute each way to work with a couple stop lights. Now, I've...

    Valve cover gasket replacement aftermath

    Just replaced the passenger side valve cover gasket on my 2004 Limited. I have driven it twice for around 20 miles total since the repair. Still stinks like the Exxon Valdez (that's what my wife calls my little Heep). Anybody care to comment on how long it took yours to quit stinking? Thanks!!!

    HELP! Stinky Liberty

    I am just going to go ahead and get the gaskets ordered and plan on doing it soon. It can't be as hard as changing out the power steering hoses, can it??? Looks like just a bunch of crap to take off and get out of the way. I didn't think the power steering hoses were all that bad once I got done.

    I just finished replacing the hoses on my Liberty. Why would you reuse the old clamp and not the new one? Just curious.

    HELP! Stinky Liberty

    I am going to check the valve cover tonight when I get home. I am dumbfounded as to how that could be the leak when replacing the power steering pump and lines made it go away for two weeks. Know what I mean?

    HELP! Stinky Liberty

    Well, I do live in KY and you guys know what grows VERY well here........ I digress, none of those shenanigans going on. I checked the cap very thoroughly and there is no evidence of a leaky cap whatsoever. No fluid around the top of the reservoir, etc. and, no, no half empty bottle of trans...

    HELP! Stinky Liberty

    Hello, everyone! I have a 2004 Liberty Limited with about 155K on the clock. I bought it back last August (2014). It was in decent enough shape when I got it and I've been using it as my daily driver. It didn't take me long to realize that the previous owners (I'm the third) really didn't do...

    Free Trailer Hitch

    I called my dealer last week and the guy I talked to told me that "they haven't sent us the parts yet" and to "call back in about a month". I instantly assumed that he was lying and didn't want to do the work. I guess this proves it.
