So, gigantic update time! 1 month ago: Began reassembly of engine Got crankshaft polished, gauged bearing tolerances assembled pistons dropped in crankshaft and pistons attached heads assembled timing chain (what a pain in the butt!) 3 weeks ago: attached timing chain cover...

Replaced all O2 sensors on my Blue Jeep Liberty fix-up job. Was getting DTCs for O2 sensor, mixture lean, mixture rich, and both knock sensors. Old O2 sensors are pictured below: From Left to Right, Drivers Side Upstream, Drivers Side Downstream, Passenger Up, Passenger down. Note the...

Now I was able to get the SKIM PIN codes and key codes from the dealer. Their service guy told me that they could re-program (not replace). It would just cost 1hr @ $140. Interestingly, I had been told that putting the new PCM in would throw a DTC when it did not recognize the SKIM. I...

Hello all. I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty that I have recently installed a new PCM in. A fuel injector went bad, low resistance in the injector burned out a driver in the PCM. Replaced PCM and injectors. The Sentry Key Immobilizer is now throwing a fault in the PCM. A friend has access to a...

Yup. I am hoping to pick up another from the other side of the island in the next few days. 2004 minus the engine, $400. Lots of parts that I can fix up the other Libertys with. So expensive to get parts out here.

Used my good Jeep Liberty (2003) along with a chain and some bolts to yank the front passenger side inner body panel straight on my fix-em-up Liberty (2004). A previous owner says that they slid down into a ditch on wet grass trying to avoid an oncoming car on a one-lane road and slid into an...

Lots of work on front suspension: Replaced both half shafts Replaced both lower ball joints Removed, disassembled, lubricated and reinstalled sway bar My 03 Liberty has been clunking when turning, and squeeking at even the smallest of bumps or road imperfections. When disassembling...

Last year, I replaced all four ball joints on my 2003 (along with new uppers from JBA). The other day I noticed that the rubber boot on one of the lowers was cut open. The local Napa is quoting $60 for their valueline brand and $80 for their higher end one. Amazon has ACDelco, Diften, Proforged...

Somehow I put this in the wrong forum. Disregard or go here: This thread in the correct topic. Last year, I replaced all four ball joints on my 2003 (along with new uppers from JBA). The other day I noticed that the rubber boot on one of the lowers was cut open. The local Napa is quoting $60...

Reset the gas mileage reading. Drive a tank of gas. I got my most recent Liberty and having not had a Limited before, thought that it computed the last 50 miles rather than since the last reset. I was stressing because it was stuck really low. Reset it, ran a tank, gas mileage reported...

I am not sure why they get such trash talk. I have owned three Libertys. A 2004 which I sold when I moved from Texas to Hawaii. This was an outstanding vehicle. Never needed much work at all. A 2003 which I purchased when I got to Hawaii. Previous owner had driven this one really hard...

First thing I did was put water in the radiator (which was removed from the engine compartment). It had a leak. Took the heads to a machine shop and one was warped. Had it surfaced. Checked the block, and it is good. I think that is all that happened. Radiator leaked, engine overheated...

Nope. Previous owner bought it as-is from someone who had performed a partial engine-ectomy. They did not include most of the bolts that they had taken off. When I bought it, engine was in the rear cargo compartment, heads were in the middle passenger seats.

Mostly a ton of bolts. Mounting bolts for alternator, starter, belt pulley. Timing Chain Cover bolts. Bell housing bolts. Flex plate bolts. Torque Converter bolts. I think nearly everything else I need is either in the engine repair kit that I am ordering (timing chain guides; previous owner...

It would be easy if I were anywhere but on Hawaii. The salvage yards are odd here. They don't want to part out. Found several 3.7l engines, they wanted to sell them whole ($2.5k) Only need the alternator? Too bad. I needed 2 window regulators. They were willing to sell me the whole door...

It is this one: Alternator - 56041693AC 136 Amp with a oval plug. The liberty in question does not have roof lights, but it does have a sun roof, and bumper (fog?) lights. No overhead console in front (temp, gas mileage, etc). Photo Album Found breakdown of VIN in the Jeep Liberty 2004...

Is there a good way to see if this is a Renegade? It is a 2004 Columbia Edition, and I see the Columbia badge on the side, but there is another badge that is gone (the adhesive is still there). I have a pic of the drivers door VIN plaque. I don't know yet what most of the codes on it mean.

Not per se. I am rebuilding an engine (from which many parts are missing thanks to the previous owner) including the alternator. A friend hooked me up with an alternator and starter, but I will have to go see what output it has.

Was looking through the factory parts manual and noticed that there are two starters listed for the 3.7l engine, 160 amp for Renegade, and 136 amp for Sport and limited. I was wondering why this is and if there are other differences that I am not seeing?

It creaks most when going over bumps (even slight ones). When turning, creaking does not stop, but is often accompanies by a clunking sound (I can feel a slight tremble through the gas pedal when it clunks like this).
