Well, my KJ is gone :(. I was going down a highway at about 60mph, when a 17 year old kid driving his parents' old Ford Ranger decided to blow a stopsign coming from a side street. He attempted to cross the highway right in front of me. I was unable to swerve out of the way due to traffic in the...

I'm going to be rebuilding my transfer case (it's been having minor leaks in a couple of different spots for a while), and am trying to get all the parts together. I read in a couple of different places that the NV-231J transfer case can come with two different chains, either 1 inch wide or...

I'm finally getting around to replacing my worn-out engine. I was able to find an engine out of an '08 KK with only 65k miles and great compression. I'll be picking it up on Monday. I'm getting together everything I'll need, and have run into a couple of things I'm not sure about: - Is there...

Just a bit of background - my 2005 3.7 KJ has been going through a lot of oil for quite a while. Approximately a year ago I replaced the oil pressure sender and the front main seal, because both were leaking. That, and upgrading to the 2006 PCV system reduced the amount of oil it goes through...

A new noise popped up a couple of days ago... never a good sign :blah:. https://instaud.io/2qc7 It's coming front the front driver's side. As far as I can tell, all suspension components are in good shape and torqued down properly. Both ends of the front driveshaft appear to be in good...

While replacing my catalytic converter today, I noticed quite a lot of oil underneath. I have not noticed anything dripping, but as you can see in the pictures it's been blown over quite a large area. The bottom of the front diff, the front of the transmission, the boot of the front drive...

My passenger side tail light is out. The brake light (same bulb) works fine, so it's not the bulb. A couple of weeks ago I had the exact opposite thing happen. The tail light worked, the brake light didn't. By switching some sockets around, I discovered that the socket was bad. I replaced it...

My KJ (3.7 4wd) goes through quite a bit of oil, around 1 quart per 800-900 miles. I only use 5W30 Mobil 1 full synthetic high mileage oil, and change it every 4,000 miles. As far as I can tell, there are no leaks anywhere. Valve cover gaskets are in good shape, and I just replaced the...

Last week P0430 popped up (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 2). Around the same time P2096 (Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Lean Bank 1) occasionally started appearing, but this one would disappear on its own after a couple of miles. In November of last year I replaced the...

I installed an EVIC yesterday, but can't get it to work properly. 2005 Liberty Sport. I do have the premium BCM. Installed EVIC 56010520AD (which came in 2005-2007 KJ's). When that one didn't work properly, I hooked up an 56010349AB (2003 KJ), which gave the exact same error messages. I...

Finally stumbled across this section of the forum, and figured it might be fun to write some stuff down so I can read it back in a couple of years. As far as the 'boring' in the topic title goes, my KJ is stock height, and I have no plans to lift it (I know, blasphemy :icon_razz:). I don't do...

My '05 KJ has a little bit of loose steering, and some occasional squeaking from the front end. Furthermore, apparently the previous owner didn't think it was necessary to wash the undercarriage in a state where the roads are covered in snow, slush, ice and salt for about six months every year...

I have a '05 Liberty 3.7. The transmission fluid pan is really rusty, so I want to replace it before it actually starts leaking. I've been looking at about a dozen different websites, but I can't find out what brand/part number to get for an exact replacement. After I while I thought I had...
