    Engine overheating, losing coolant, not pulling from expansion tank

    When I did the heads on my Grand Caravan I didn't need any special tool so this surprises me. I'll look into it.

    Engine overheating, losing coolant, not pulling from expansion tank

    No, I've parked it until I can get around to it.

    Engine overheating, losing coolant, not pulling from expansion tank

    So that small head gasket leak became a massive head gasket leak I'm pretty sure. Anyone got a good youtube video and/or some good detailed instructions on pulling the heads, along with anything else I should swap out at the same time?

    Do NOT trust JEEP (but maybe trust your dealer - maybe)

    Do you have one for the 2008-2012 Liberty?

    Engine overheating, losing coolant, not pulling from expansion tank

    I put new shocks and struts all the way around on mine at about that point too. New tires probably 5,000 miles ago also. Oh, and rust didn't used to be an issue here in the PNW, however, several years ago OR and WA began allowing calcium chloride or whatever on the roads before a snowstorm...

    Engine overheating, losing coolant, not pulling from expansion tank

    So about a month ago I finally had the shop look into this and they found hydrocarbons in the coolant which basically says I have a small head gasket leak. The oil looks like it should after 6,000 miles so it's not a big leak, but enough that it's not a sealed system and is why I was slooooowly...

    Engine overheating, losing coolant, not pulling from expansion tank

    I seem to have a problem with the engine losing coolant and not pulling from the expansion tank. Over the years after a VERY long time, I'll have to fill the radiator, meanwhile the radiator isn't pulling from the expansion tank. This came up again after the engine overheated (as a result of low...

    Adding rear power outlet

    The spambot called my attention back to this thread so I'll use this to thank @lfhoward again. I went car camping a few days ago and switched the M7 fuse over and it worked wonderfully so thanks again! However, now the challenge is to remember to move the fuse once I'm done camping as I leave...

    Adding rear power outlet

    Several silly responses in this thread, but I'll take some responsibility for not looking at it sooner. You assumed correctly as to the year based on which forum I placed this and despite overlooking it in my signature. Anyway, this will help quite a bit but I'm unaware of where to find the M7...

    Adding rear power outlet

    I use a CPAP in my Liberty while car camping and have to leave the ignition on the whole night to keep the dash outlet on. Has anyone added a constant on power outlet, perhaps at the rear of the vehicle, or really anywhere else besides the dash?

    Swapping seat bases

    My Liberty has about 212,000 miles on the seats now and the driver side has seen better days, particularly the door side bolster had broken and was digging into my thigh. I got the idea to swap the seat bases R to L and vice versa and took several hours to do it a few weeks ago and it works. It...

    Lag upon acceleration

    This. The engine revs a little before the transmission engages; or at least until there's forward movement. After several weeks I've determined it's only on hills and not on level pavement. Typically this would indicate low transmission fluid but it seems that it's at or near the correct level...

    Lag upon acceleration

    2011 Liberty with 210,000 miles- I've had my Liberty about 10,000 miles now and have always noticed that there's a lag between the time I press on the gas pedal and the time I'm actually moving forward. I've never experienced this in any other vehicle and wondering if I should have my...

    Sticking Tow/OD Off button

    I suppose I didn't phrase my question very well. I would like to remove the panel or panels around the button or shifter so I can clean the button. The woman who own the Jeep before me drank a lot of sugary drinks and I suspect pop was spilled there in the past and that's why it's sticking.

    Liberty longetivity?

    My liberty has about 202,000 mostly highway miles and seems to be doing well. Although I'd like to have a Grand Cherokee, it's nothing I need in these current prices, which leads me to my question- how long are these Jeep engines good for when taken care of? And speaking of 3.6L Grand...

    Sticking Tow/OD Off button

    I have a 2011 Auto KK and the Tow/OD Off button near the shifter is sticking when I used it today. I need to clean it out so what's the best way to take off the cover in that area?

    Fog lights for Sport model

    I have a 2011 Sport model and it doesn't have fog lights and I'm wondering if it's possible to put a fog light in the stock location? Can someone point me to a thread for that?

    Remote key fob

    So for what it's worth I ordered a key on Ebay and took it to my Home Depot to have it cut and the guy didn't charge me anything to cut it! Did the programming as described and it worked great!

    Remote key fob

    So the Liberty I recently purchased came with 4 keys- 2 plastic keys and 2 valet keys. I'd like to get a remote for this car and it seems I can buy one off ebay, have it cut to my lock using my existing key and then program it to the car myself? Are these keys worth buying, and is my analysis...
