    No heat while idling

    I wonder, after you're driving and the heat works, and you park in your driveway, before you turn off the engine, does it still blow hot while you're idling? Must be a blockage somewhere. Heater core? Radiator? T-Stat? I dunno

    Rotational Clunk When Braking

    Found the problem. The axle nut on the passenger side was maybe a thread loose. I removed it with my 35 mm socket and impact, added some blue loctite and reinstalled. No more clunk!

    Rotational Clunk When Braking

    2009 KK 4x4 150K miles Weird one... After driving a little while, when slowing down to a light with normal to light brake pressure, when I'm nearly at a stop I hear and feel a distinctive rotational clunk. If feels like a U joint or axle is flopping around and striking something solid. Hard to...

    Auto Transmission Popping out of First when Cold

    Just an update on this. I checked my transmission fluid again and it looked low still. Added some more and now the problem has completely disappeared. So I guess it was just low fluid causing the problem.

    No heat while idling

    You might have had an air pocket that finally worked itself out. I'd open up the radiator cap (not overflow) if possible. When it's cool of course. And check. Had a similar situation on my wife's mazda and it turned out to just be low coolant. Hopefully it's just an easy fix for you.

    Auto Transmission Popping out of First when Cold

    I have a 2009 KK with 170k miles. In the morning I go out and start the car. Reverse out of the driveway, shift into drive and go to the end of my street. It goes through first gear, barely into second, and then I get to my stop sign. I wait, look both ways, and then proceed to turn. But the...

    No heat while idling

    Possible the fluid is just low, or has an air pocket?

    2009 AC Cool not Cold

    Thanks, I just had the airbox out when I replaced the evap and heater cores a couple of weeks ago. Nothing was stuck at that time. However I did find that there kind of a rubber gasket on the edge of the blend doors that had complete melted down into a sticky goo on one of the blend doors, but...

    2009 AC Cool not Cold

    Thanks for the reply. I'm getting the feeling that the this may be the case. That Jeep Liberty's AC systems just aren't great. Even with the shop manual it says that at best a normal temp is 45 degrees from the vent. It seems like most cars can dip into the 30's. I drop my wife's Mazda around...

    2009 AC Cool not Cold

    Thanks for the reply. No, it's the same at speed. Electric fan is running, and evap is brand new. Just replaced it and the heater core at the same time.

    2009 AC Cool not Cold

    I had a compressor go bad on me a few months back, so I've been living with no Air Conditioning until I got the money to replace it. Out of an OVER abundance of caution, I replaced everything! The evap core, all three hoses, compressor, expansion valve, and condenser with drier. When I got the...

    Help Needed: Clicking/Tapping/Knocking at stop

    Just wanted to follow up on this message in case someone in the future runs into this. I was able to reproduce the knocking noise in my driveway and I felt around the ABS pump, brake master cylinder, power steering pump, ect. The only part that I could feel the knocking on (and I do mean KNOCK!)...

    Help Needed: Clicking/Tapping/Knocking at stop

    Thanks for the welcome. The jeep has about 144k miles on it. The biggest problem I can't fix is the sky-slider. As far as I know it works, but it is closed now, and not leaking, so I don't think I'll ever roll the dice on opening it. I just ordered a couple of wind deflectors that I'll make one...
