    Transmission problem error P1775 AND P1776

    ---- If your transmission is giving you any warnings at all, you need to heed it's plight. I had a (check engine) light and we kept checking the codes. Kept reading transmission. The light cleared and it did not slip. To me it was acting normally. The light began to remain on and I was...

    KJ reliability over the long haul

    my 2005 Jeep liberty with over 100k miles was a replacement for a worn out GMC blazer like 4wd. It wasn't very good at 4wd but was at about 150k. the Jeep Liberties strong motor, easy handling and good response won me over. It reminded me of the EAGLE SX4 a lot. Don't laugh, That SX4 never...

    Rust repair or time to sell

    Thats rust down by the rear back door frame??? you need to look under the car at the body under the rear doors. My guess is you will find rust if not holes there too. This is body sections, it is a small part in the body strength, the body frame is further under the car. I dont think it is cause...

    How to hack JK foglights to work in a KJ

    I have been through 2 different re-creations for the driving lights. The first was a bottom mounted light, no side or top attachments. I used a firm wire to form the side attachments that the OEM lights had to attach to the side holes, and a finger on top for the adjuster. Worked better than...

    Ok guys, The Jeep is fixed. What a nightmare. I've lost all the tech terms but basically the internals were grinding. They found the filter clogged with metal slivers. It just finally had nothing left to grab onto for any motion. I bit the bullet and had it rebuilt. New story...

    New to the Liberty community (07) Couldn't be more excited! - from CT

    Welcome to the Jeep Liberty I have had mine for about 3 years now and it is a fun to drive car. I also changed out the stereo, Factory was kind of not so good. Put one in that uses a thumb drive for music instead of the bulky CD changer. All was good until I started having some electrical...

    yes great story. Mine went fully unexpected. I drove to the mechanic garage to check on my Rv. Drove up front, put in park, shut the engine down and got out. We finished our talking, and I got in, started the Jeep, put the gear shift lever in Drv and nothing. He looked at me and asked whats...

    OK guys, here is were it's at. the trans place verified the ****** is in need of a rebuild. I did consider a junk yard replacement however, I am going to use her for towing long distance, so I think it is in my best interest to have it rebuilt properly. So many options on the front drive...

    Did it grind when you put it back in park after you tried different gears?-- NO. I actually only heard the grind when in gear 2 and 1 and Rev, once the revs slowed down, it stopped. I have found a drive shaft at the junk yard to be rebuilt, far cheaper then from them. thank you

    Sadly all the fluids are good. The problem by all I can figure is mechanical. Here is the story, I will try to abreviate it. I was on I55 heading to St Louis, 65 mph, approaching Construction area. Right lane was closed we merged. about 2 miles down the road the left lane merged and traffic...

    thanks, Im looking into this as I speak. I was lead to believe that The Rebuilt shaft was over $600 and New $700+. Mine is pretty tore up though but I will revisit this concern as saving a buck is important. Thanks a lot.\ slc

    It is the universal jt under the boot, it was destroyed. the universal wrapped around and tore up the shaft. Rebuilt is not much less than new, go figure. The bolts that hol They need to replace the bolts for the (can't remember what its called) support bracket??? They were able to get them off...

    Do I need a new door?

    I live in the rust belt. Our roads might as well be made of salt, or whatever corrosive chemical they use to melt snow. All four doors have the lower outside showing rust damage. Last year I used a rust modifier and then primed and painted them. I was hoping it would stop the rust but after...

    Serpentine Belt Idler broken off.... repair strategdy?

    =============== = I recently had that Idler Pulley replaced. I was lucky we caught it. It started as a kind of squeeking when the engine is running. If you were not looking for it, you would probably miss it. Took the assembly off and found the idler wheel sort of wobbly on the shaft. The...
