My wife gets way worse mileage than me too. She uses more throttle and brakes later then complains about mileage.

I have an 06 with the 3.7. I have Autolight platinum plugs, a Fram air and oil filter and Walmart store brand synthetic 5w30 oil. No idea on the O2 sensors, probably still factory at 168,000 miles. Yes, I know they need changed and will be this summer, with NGK most likely. I get about 14.5-15...

It's true 4wd is a crutch for a lot of non-drivers. I ran 2wd only for a long time and still use it most of the time even though 4x4 is available to me. About the only time I move my transfer case lever is in deep (over 8-10 inches) snow or on ice. I use it more while I am hunting than I do on...

I've gone places in RWD only vehicles that 4x4 ones had trouble. It's all in knowing the capabilities of your ride and your driving skill. Everything I buy now is 4x4 because I live in northern Wyoming and the winters can be brutal to drive in if all you have is RWD. Most people here have a 4x4...

I'm running the Auxbeam A2 9007 LED bulbs in my 2000 Durango and they were a big improvement over the Sylvania Xtravision bulbs that they replaced. I realize it isn't the same vehicle and I would have the same ones in my wifes 06 Liberty but she doesn't want them. I love them however and will be...

I've had my 06 for half a year now. No issues other than replacing the right front bearing assembly and the power steering pump. Both of those were bad when I bought it. It had 150K on the clock.

Drove it

I just replaced mine on my 06 (150K miles) and it whines when it's cold out. I don't know if the old pump whined or not because I just got it at the end of last August. I am more familiar with Fords and their power steering pumps can be noisy at times so I am going to ignore this for now and...

Get some GOOD studded snow tires put on and you shouldn't have any issues

A lot of gas sold these days is 10% ethanol. Pure gas does not have ethanol in it. I doubt that's it though. It could be a clogged up fuel injector. You could try running a cleaner through the engine. I suggest Sea Foam. You can get it at most auto parts stores. Just dump it in the gas tank. I...

Whatever is going on it is not a blown head gasket or warped head. My best guess is it is an electrical issue that is being "fixed" from time to time when you shut off the engine and then restart it. It could also be an injector problem as was already mentioned. I also stand with my earlier...

A P0305 code means that you are have a misfire detected on number 5 cylinder. That could be, and probably is, as simple as just needing a new spark plug and/or a coil on that cylinder. It could also be a vacuum leak into that cylinder requiring a new intake gasket. I seriously doubt you need a...

Changed the power steering pump. Figuring out how to get the reservoir off so I could switch it to the new pump was kind of a pain in the arse but pretty straight forward job.

Traffic must have sucked then. Silverthorne to the tunnel is usually about 15-20 minutes. I know about that holiday skier traffic. Buncha dumbasses that think 4 wheel drive makes them invincible mostly.

That's a gnarly hill even when dry. It's much steeper than the video makes it look. I'm glad you got stopped safely (I just got an 06 Liberty myself and love it!) and the people in the other car weren't hurt.

Unless Mopar has changed how their transmissions pump fluid in the last few years it is better in neutral. In park the pump is not moving fluid, it only does it in neutral.

I've owned a 48 CJ, 76 Grand Wagoneer, 84 and 85 Cherokee and a 2003 Grand Cherokee besides the KJ I own now.

Yes they do, lol. I've seen some so bad I wasn't able to true them up and keep them safe to use. Rotors have gotten cheap enough and finding a place to true them, at least here in Sheridan Wyoming, is so hard that I usually buy new ones every brake job now.

And laughing too in my case! The price for the engine(s) sounds pretty fair and the quote for install sounds extremely fair to me.

Changed out the right front hub bearing assembly. I just bought this 2006 KJ from a local dealer and got it cheap because he thought the front diff was toast from the noise. I knew on the test drive it was the bearing, lol. Got it changed today and quiet as can be.
