    A/C Compressor will not run after dash removal

    Hello all ! I have an 02 Libert Sport 3.7 V6 with A/C and recently had to replace my heater core due to the inlet/outlet tubes being cracked and leaking. If you want a heart attack call some shops and get an estimate to have it done. $1450 was the cheapeast and of course he was booked for 3...

    Broke Rear Ball Stud Mount Bracket

    I have the IRO complete rear setup in my 02 Sport and am so glad to be done with changing the rear upper control arm every 8-10 months. Mine started make a clunking noise after about 6 months and it turns out the jam nut on the threaded link that goes to the top of the rear axle had loosened. I...

    02 Liberty Sport V6 4WD rearend swap for disc brakes

    Well this past weekend I put new rear brake shoes on my 02 Sport V6 4x4. While I was there I was still checking for the possible conversion to disc brakes. I did see the backing plates are bolted to the flanges off the rear axle housing. My question is, would the disc setup off a later 02 or 03...

    Gas mileage

    I have a 02 Sport with the 3.7 and in town I getabout 13-14 mpg. On the highway at 70 I get about 18-19. I'm running 245/75/16 Duratracs and 2.5 in lift in front and 2' in rear. Stock gearing. Hook up my utility trailer with my 6X4 John Deere Gator on it and it drops to 11-12 no matter where...

    Same thing happened to my 02 Liberty Sport. Wasn’t a real big deal. Just was no notice when it happened

    How to reinstall shock strut with lift kit

    Dang tommudd, sometimes you have to get creative, especially if on a budget. I didn't think I'd get a frown for my reply We didn't remove enough material off the fingers of the compressor to weaken them, maybe a 32nd of an inch at most is all it took. Seriously, it made the job much easier and...

    Strut compression - Best Practices

    I agree with tommudd ! I took mine to a local 4 x 4 shop and they assembled the pair for $100 and I didnt have to worry about getting hurt or worse !

    How to reinstall shock strut with lift kit

    Back when I had a 2.5 inch spacer lift on the front of my 02 Liberty Sport it was really hard to remove the struts without some sort of assistance. Then when re-installing them it was like trying to shoehorn the stuts back in place. Even leaving the top mounting bolts very loose, it was nearly...

    '03 Jeep Liberty Mopar Radiator

    I’m on my third radiator! They crack on the seam where the return line from engine comes back in to the radiator. The last one I got was from NAPA and was under $200 and has a lifetime warranty. It’s been in my 92 Sport longer than the original and the other one from Orellys ! It bolted right up...

    02 Liberty Sport V6 4WD rearend swap for disc brakes

    I have an 02 Liberty Sport V6 4WD. Being the first year of production, they came with drum brakes on the rear. Jeep changed it to Disc Brakes in 03 maybe…?? How hard could it be to go to LKQ or any junk yard and pull one out to take home to swap into mine ? I know how to make sure it’s...

    Intermediate Front shaft

    Is there any place other than Mopar to get a new intermediate shaft ? Mopar/dealers are very pricey wanting over $300 for one.

    They only come black as far as I know. I painted mine to liven it up down there !

    Iron Rock Rear A-arm

    If I still had a stock A-arm I’d be changing the bushings and ball joint again. It is easier to buy a whole new arm. Mine is still tight with no slop in it. I have the adjustable lower arms too. They have shown no sign of wear yet. My stock lower arms also had the bushings wear out where it...

    Iron Rock Rear A-arm

    Yes it does plus it won’t wear out the bushings every 6 to 8 months. I’ve been running one for about a year now and it’s much better than stock. If you get the optional flex joints, it allows it to transmit more road noise but that’s why I have a 300 watt stereo so I can drown it out. I too had...

    O2 Oxygen sensor removal bank 1 sensor 1

    You could cut the wires at the old sensor and leave it plugged up to the harness. Then just splice those wires into the new sensor wires. I used solder on the wires and heat shrink tubing

    O2 Oxygen sensor removal bank 1 sensor 1

    I have ! I used a pair of long needle nose pliers to hold the plug from above and then I used a small flathead screwdriver to press the tab and separate it the plug. Then I took the old sensor and cut the wires close to the sensor and cut the plug off and looked at the wires. They were not...
