    Thermostat stuck closed?

    HELP! O4' with 167,000 miles on it. Noticed slight water pump leak at weep hole. Replaced it. A week or two later, found crack in radiator. Replaced it. Also new hoses and plastic reservoir tank. Kept smelling coolant though heater vents. Suspect heater core has a small leak. All was fine for...

    Front brake chattering

    Hi, I can't seem to figure out this problem. The right front brake makes a loud clicking, chattering sound. It only happens on light braking, and stops when I apply more pressure, as I'm coming to a full stop. I already replaced "everything". And even tried different brake pads. The problem...

    P0139 code again

    04' with 163,000 miles. Replaced Oxygen sensor, problem went away for a year or so. Back on again. But I noticed a pattern, the check engine light, would come on every time I'd fill her with gas. After driving about 3 miles, every time! Going out now, with my new $200 diagnostic tool, to try...

    Low side AC pressure very high

    AC stopped working on my 04" KJ. Hooked up the gauges, and tried adding some refrigerant. The low side gauge was pegged as high as it will go. So should I assume the orifice tube is clogged? And replacing it will solve the problem? I have a vacuum pump, and realize it must be vacuumed after...

    Clunk coming from the back, when shifting

    04' KJ, 157,000 miles, automatic transmission. Sometimes makes a loud clunk, when it shifts into second gear. Especially if I let off the gas, right after it goes into second gear. Seems to get worse, after driving a few miles... Please tell me it's just a worn U joint. If not what else...

    Inner brake pad worn down to metal

    What would cause the front inner brake pad to wear down to the metal, while the outer pad is just fine? The slide pins weren't sticking, and the piston goes back into the cylinder, with out much effort. Also what side should the break wear indicator be on? Thanks!

    Muffler tailpipe swap

    OK, I put a brand new exhaust system on my "02" from the "Y" pipe back. The "02" has since dropped a valve, and ruined the engine. So I am trying to reuse some of the "new" parts from my "02" and put them on my new "04". I've found that many, but not all parts, will fit and work on my "04"...

    Headlights go off for second, when turn signal shuts off

    Occasionally, I notice my headlights go out, for a second, when my turn signal lever returns to center, after making a turn. Being that the headlight switch is on the same stalk. I think there is something wrong with the switches, in the stalk. Anyone else ever experienced this? I guess I need...

    OEM front skid plate swap

    Just wanted to let everyone know. That the OEM front skid plate from an 02' will fit perfectly onto a 04'. As I just got around to swapping mine from my dead 02' onto my alive 04'. Just a word of warning... The original bolts will work fine on the front of the skid plate, but the rear ones wont...

    Aftermarket gauges...

    Hi, I was wanting to install an aftermarket temp gauge. Since the dash gauge has let me down, "big time" before! My 02' overheated, dropped a valve,:flame: and now I am stripping her for spare parts, for my 04'. Don't want this to happen again! I have a mechanical (not electric) gauge I'd like...

    Rup Rup sound from the front right wheel

    Hi, this sound has been bugging me, ever since I bought my 04" KJ. Sounds like it's coming from the front right wheel. And it's much louder, noticeable when braking... OK, so then I replaced the brake rotor, and pads, with almost brand new ones, that I took off my 02" with a blown motor. The...

    Tire Pressure

    I find it odd, that the tire pressure (on the tiny letters, below the speedometer) says 35, but the sticker on the drivers side door says 32 PSI. My tires are fairly new, not the best brand.. All I could afford, are "Primewell". On a "particular" road, on my drive to work. The brakes will lock...

    Intake Resonator

    I noticed my 02' KJ has an air intake resonator, but my 04" KJ does not. What does the resonator do? And why did the remove it on later models?

    Metal flap inside gas filler missing?

    I noticed the metal flap inside my gas tank filler neck is missing. It's missing from my 04' KJ. But my 02' KJ still has the metal flap intact. Did it break off, and fall down into the gas tank? Or did they simply omit this flap from the later year models? Can somebody check? Remove your gas...

    04' PCV tube broken at T fitting HELP

    I broke the plastic pipe at the T fitting. It all seems glued together. I ordered another whole tube, but this does not have the check valves included. Probably bought the wrong one, even though the diagram looked the same. I wish I knew how to attach photos here.. I am thinking that I might be...

    Brake Caliper slider pins

    I noticed that one slider pin is square and the other is oval. Which way do they go in? Like the square one goes on the top or bottom? Please respond ASAP, as I need to get this done now. Need my Jeep for work tomorrow. Thanks!

    Oil filler cap difficult to unscrew

    What is with the oil filler cap? This is my second KJ, why are they so hard to unscrew? On my 02' I put some white grease on the threads of the cap, and this helped. Now with my 04' I need to carry around a strap wrench, to get the dam thing off! I even tried swapping my 02' cap onto the 04'...

    A/C compressor runs constantly

    On many other cars I have owned. The compressor will cycle on and off, depending on the outside temperature. Like I'm used to it running constantly for the first 15-20 minutes, and then it usually starts to cycle on and off. Depending in the outside temperature, and when it has reached the...

    Parting out my 02" Liberty

    MY 02' dropped a valve, and the engine is toast. Since bought an 04', and plan to swap over "some" parts. But the rest is for sale cheap, or perhaps free, if you near NE Philly and are willing to remove it yourself. It's in my garage, not much room to work, but you welcome to take it off...
