ID Parts and Sasquatch(Weeks) have a lot of stuff for these engines. Check with "mountainman" on the LOSTJEEPS forum for a used manifold. He was getting rid of some CRD stuff not too long ago. I think he's in Montaña or Idaho, on a mountain.

What are you fishing for?

Check your front driveshaft for extra play due to wear. Could also be the motor mount. They can look fine and have loose parts rattling around inside.

Shoot some WD-40 in there and maybe that'll loosen the mechanism up. You should be able to hear a release "click" when you pull the handle a little bit. This small handle movement actuates a small switch that opens the glass just before the door unlatches. The switch in the handle goes bad...

Rockfish?

Nope, not here, maybe somday. 20 minute later update... snowing hard.

I think vm motori offered a rod-piston-liner kit just to repair one cylinder. Try damperdoctor.com?

I thought I was first! Or second. I voted again so this makes me first and third, or second and third, or just third... still in the money!

700 SF here with 4 bike projects, boat, jeep, and machine tools. Tidy isn't easy!

Check with Mountainman on LOSTJEEPS for parts. He might have a good used piston&liner. CaptainDean's clinking&clanking thread has great pictures and advice on the inside of these engines.

Tidy shop!

Welcome! Many broken Liberty experiences here.

Eaton makes the Detroit Tru Track helical locker and Spartan makes a similar helical locker. Biggest problem with front lockers on KJs is the weakness of the aluminum differential housing.

In my Jeep tool pile I have an unopened Lisle #39420 3/8" angled fuel line disconnect tool marked "Jeep transmission cooling lines"(by me). I think it reaches in and disconnects the many tiny invisible teeth inside so it disconnects easily. I also have Lisle #37000 which is a set of 6...

The only differential difference between diesel and petrol Liberties is the ratio. Howling is probably wheel bearings, pinion bearings, or lack of gear lube. You're right that the diesel has more torque. The torque converter is the typical fail point for the CRD's extra torque.

It should.

Try adding ATF4 over the full mark. Some dipsticks, like my '05, bottom out on the pan and give false readings.

Same exact symptoms as my Ford when the o2 sensor died.

If you don't have ABS either trak-loc or not will work unless there's a speed sensor in the differential for the speedometer. ABS sensor through '05 was in differential. '06 and up had sensors at both rear wheels for electronic/ABS traction control. The difference between trak-loc diffs and...

Hanger wire works too.
