2006 Liberty CRD Limited (~294,500 kms) 103km/h (~65mph) on the highway and for whatever reason it jumped back to first gear (auto transmission). Shredded the timing belt, that's a certainty. My question is what else might be wrong (bent valves, transmission, etc) and is it worth fixing when...

Just picked up an '06 CRD. Had my mechanic look it over, he drove it, safetied it, no problems. I've put about 1000kms on it so far, i go away for a weekend, and 5kms from the destination (300km drive) the rear end craps out over a small dip in the road. The rear end (diff or axle) is clunking...

Took an '06 Liberty CRD out for a test drive yesterday. Tried all the transfer case modes. 2WD, Part Time, Full Time all worked as they should. 4Lo had a major issue. I got it into and out of 4lo with no difficulty but when in 4lo, it was extremely lurchy. I lightly pressed the accelerator and...

Seabass pm'd me and I thought I'd bring it here for a main thread... Yeah, old is relative.. both in my age and in how long I've been a member of the board. I remember the day it was created although I didn't sign up for a bit. As for the Liberty, I still have it, but it never was...

So it looks like something in the transfer case or front end of the driveline broke. Selec-Trac Transfer case, it was raining off and on so I was leaving it in Full-Time and it started making a funny noise last night. I just chalked it up to driveline noise since it's been a while since I was...

Ok, I'll be towing a trailer in the 2200-2300 lb range. I know it's the smarter thing to drive with the overdrive OFF (or locked out) because simply that's what everyone says to do. What I really want to know is 1. What's going on behind the scenes, why does it ALWAYS have locked out of...

Just getting up on the 100,000 kms (about 99,300 or so) and I got all the BIG preventative maintenance issues done. MAN that's expensive. Did the rear fluids, T-case, tranny (and filter), front axle as well as all the time to inspect this and that. Even with my super nice guy mechanic (gives me...

Is there such a beast as a front shackle that bolts in the spots that the front tow hooks go. I've got the Mopar hooks, but I think it'd be WAY better if I had a set of D-shackles there instead (and WAY cooler too). Anyone know of anyone who makes such a thing? I don't want a front hitch with...

Here's a short little snow trail behind my work. I had already covered the first half of the trail before thinking of filming it so you don't get to see much. As you can tell lots of people go through here. On this day it was particularly easy... it was almost as smooth as a road, the snow was...

I was by myself so I had to get out and get all these shots myself. I learned that when I got back in on the steep incline, no amount of fiddling would make the seatbelt extend so I could use it. Weird, but I guess it's a safety feature at severe angles to keep you in the seat. I tried to do...

Here's some pics of an attempted recovery by me and my liberty of a 2WD Dakota. This whole area is deep sand so I'm sitting on the exact stuff he got stuck in. Needless to say as light as I could be on the throttle, I still ended up burying the Liberty until it was stuck, but a few seconds of...

Long story short... '04 Liberty needs a left rear axle seal replaced so off to the dealership... work gets done (supposedly). As I leave and read the receipt I see that they replaced the FRONT dirvers side axle seal (WTF??) so I go back and they haul out the mechanic and without any "coaching"...

If you're planning your first off-road excursion, or if you're a seasoned veteran it's always nice to have a checklist to look at and make sure you've brought everything. Post up with your own favourite gear (or whatever I forgot). Rig Related Drinks & Food (had to list this first) Tow...

My gf, myself and another couple will be heading to Disneyworld (Florida) and like all good tourists, we were thinking of getting a pair of the FRS/GRMS radios so we could get in touch with each other if we decided we wanted to go do different things around the parks. So I went out and got a set...

Bennett, just a little feedback about the website, hopefully you can wrangle some time to look into these problems, I also have no idea if I'm the only one experiencing these problems. ... keep in mind I'm telling you this not as destrctive critisism, but because I love the site so much I want...

My girl's driving to work yesterday morning, the major highway access was all jammed up, probably due to an accident or slow traffic, it was very icy out. So she passes by the usual on-ramp, and heads down some back roads to the next on-ramp. On a mostly snow covered country road, the "worn...
