So a couple of weeks ago, my daughters Jeep Liberty was acting very strange. We were on the Highway going 75mph (the speed limit) and the the truck seemed like it was surging. The tachometer was showing the RPM fluctuating, but not enough to be shifting gears, but enough to unlock the torque...

sorry that I forgot to post here right after I got this fixed. I had a lot on my plate at that time. replacement was not easy, but it was not as bad as I would have thought. with the exception of the drivers side bolt came out with all of the body threads with it. I ended up buying a grade 8...

OH NO! I guess I shouldn't have complained. Today I went to leave a shop, and when I moved the shifter from reverse to drive, and started to accelerate. the engine reved and about a second later the trans slammed into 1st gear. this happened all 3 times that I moved the selector from park or...

That's kind of what I was afraid of. my lib is an '05 with the 42rle. I guess I will just have to live with it. "tuned for fuel economy" is a joke. we are driving basically a 2 tiered brick around, and for the life of me I can not understand how your going to have good fuel economy at any speed...

I have never really liked the way my transmission has shifted, but I did not know if that was just the way it worked, or if there was an issue. At least until my daughter purchased her Liberty and I drove it. Her Lib's shifts the way it should. Evenly spaced all the way through, unlike mine that...

Unfortunately, if it isn't law, they will not do it most of the time. the only reason they will, is they think it will increase sales enough to offset the extra cost. we all know that the real cost (at the manufacturers level) is only a couple of bucks. but a couple of bucks times a couple of...

well, for some reason, the truck has not repeated the issue since that one time. I am going to wait until it repeats its initial problem, and try to read the codes. I hate trying to find a problem when i do not have a place to start looking.

Today, my daughter was driving to work, and the vehicle slid on the ice on our road (one of the last roads in the county to get ANY type of care in the winter). anyway, as soon as it slid, a slew of warning lights came on in the dash. the "ESP-BAS, BRAKE, CAR WITH SQUIGGLY LINES UNDER IT, AND...

Well, since my daughter is not "mechanically oriented", I will have to fix it. So the check engine light will come back on when anything else goes wrong. I could see her driving the car with the engine clattering away with no oil in the engine. She is why we have these types of lights. She gets...

I didn't even think about the wiring. Thanks.

so my daughter recently purchased a 07 Liberty to learn how to drive in. and driving down the road the other day, the check engine light came on. after pulling the code, its showing that the (i think) upstream O2 sensor has a hi temp reading? I am pretty good at replacing parts, and fixing...

I didn't think about that. Thank you for the idea!

I have been contemplating cutting holes in my hood to install a couple of vents in it. I want this primarily for trail riding, to reduce the under hood temperatures. The biggest concern I have is if the water coming thru the vents will mess up the electronics, or crack the exhaust manifolds. we...

So, I have another question. Just how does the "plug" on the top end of the transmission fill tube come off? When I was young and dumb, I would have just grabbed it with a big honking pair of pliers. But I have learned a few things over the years. An ounce of caution can be better a TON of of...

yeah, because who cares about the engine itself, it MUST save that all mighty catalytic converter!

I think that is just a little off. the fluid will last the life of the transmission, not the vehicle. meaning when the fluid is used up, so is the transmission. same goes with "lifetime lubrication" of bearing grease. when the grease is used up, so is the part. if you had the opportunity to add...

I don't know for certain. but to me this sounds like a timing chain issue, or the engine ingested something. and yes, if it were me, I would be taking it apart before i did anything else. did you replace the timing chain set? reuse the OEM set? and tensioners/guides? if the timing is correct...

so, my daughter came home yesterday with a surprise. she purchased a 2007 Liberty. it has a 3.7 like mine, but during my first initial inspection under the hood, I was a bit confused. there is no automatic transmission dipstick. there is a hex or octagon thing where the dipstick should be. I...

Thank you gentlemen, I will look into it.

I want to add fog and driving lights to my 2005 Liberty, but it looks like the metal part of the front bumper stops to soon, and I think i would be drilling into plastic. Is there a diagram showing the 2 parts of the bumper? Also, how do I remove the plastic (bumper cover?) from the vehicle...
