    Muffler Time?

    Again closing in on 200k, been noticing a smell from the exhaust and around the car while driving. No big smoking issues but when changing the oil I noticed a puddle under the muffler. Not from the top either. Wiped it and it started manifesting again. Seems one of the spot welds or two is...

    Wheel Bearing Time, are these right?

    Time to do the fronts, I'm pretty sure it's just the front left but figured with the mileage just do both and be done. Seems a pretty straight forward job, remove brakes, unclip wire harness, 35mm bolt, then the 3 behind and bang it out. Am I missing anything? Also looking for the right parts...

    Crankshaft Sensor? Hard Startups

    Our 05 3.7L has developed a hard startup. Battery was replaced last summer, but all day it has a bit of a chug when turning over like it may not want to start. Sometimes takes a second turn of the key but it runs fine when started. No codes, trying to diagnose if it’s a pump or a crank sensor...

    Power Seat Still Won’t Work

    Both front seats do not operate. Heated seats work, power doesn’t. I got a new circuit breaker and replaced the one noted in several other pics. Even unplugged the battery before doing and still nothing. What else would cause both seats to not work, is there a fuse or something under the hood or...

    Brake Noise Diagnosis

    I basically rebuilt the entire suspension of the summer, finally got the tri-link ball joint support on the differential, and did all the brakes (discs, pads, etc.) I even put a new caliper bracket and bolts on the front left of the car after an issue with seized pins, did the rotor at the same...

    Power Seats Powerless

    Trying to diagnose this, I don’t own an ohm meter so I may be shopping soon. 2005 Limited with power front seats. Both seats are dead, I changed the circuit breaker that sits on the inside of the interior fuse panel. From research it seems the top right breaker was common to go. Put in a new...

    Front End Rabbit Hole, Tell me when to stop

    I was working on the brakes last night and noticed the issue with my front left brake vibration and warping was caused by a seized caliper pin. I tried heat and other methods to no avail so I will be adding a new caliper bracket and pin to the mix. I noticed upon working on this side that...

    New Tri Link still a slight knock here and there

    I replaced the tri link and the rear ha quieted down significantly. However at random times and only occasional bumps it will still give a slight clunk or almost pop sound. I’m wondering if overtightened or did not tighten things enough. The ends were done to 100 ft. lbs. which I read should...

    Tri-Link and Other areas to Grease

    So I'm going to replace the tri-link this weekend and also the lower control arms on the rear. Since I'm doing a 4-wheel brake job as well I figured I would take the opportunity to grease a bit. I need some advice on if the control arms in the rear and tri-link should be greased and whats...

    Driver Front Caliper or something else?

    The front left brakes have plagued me for a long time on this car. I've replaced rotors/pads as needed, new clips, greased, but I still get a few noises. One I am pretty sure is the wheel bearing because I get a whoom whoom sound while driving that is really noticeable on the highway. Obtaining...

    PCV relocation?

    I remember seeing posts around the internet or here on replacing the location of the PCV and putting it on the drivers side valve cover. It required some parts like a new oil fill tube without a PCV outlet and a new type of PCV but I could not locate it. I'm wanting to make the switch as I get...

    Oil Pans Anyone?

    This came in today, still waiting on the new plug and pan itself but I'm about to undertake a new adventure in DIY. I've only found a few threads on other forums with very vague descriptions of how to do this without the craziness of engine pulls. Ours is a 4WD so I'm curious if there is...

    Bulbs - 9007/HB5 and 9145

    So my wife's Silverstar Ultras finally had one burn out, lasted longer than the Silverstars I had before but still meh. I've been searching for a suitable replacement as well as for the fog lamps so what are the recommendations from the users here for a set of replacements?

    Power Steering, what to check?

    Last night I thought it may have just been the cold since it was 6 out and negative real feel and the car usually sits in the garage. Started it up to a loud whirring, instantly knew it was the PS. Turn the wheel and it groaned but did so as it normally does. Now when the car is first started...

    Found hose during oil change

    Noticed this loose disconnected hose during oil change. Anyone have any ideas or help as to what it is and where it connects. Was unsuccessful in my search but it runs forward from around the oil filter drain area.

    New Rotors, New Pads, New Tires, Wheel Shake

    So I've done a complete front brake job new rotors and pads, followed up by new tires with a full balancing and alignment done. What happens now is a wheel shake when braking from highway speeds. I can't figure out what it could be, searching only yields people who have done either tires or...

    P2097...Scan Tools are Fun

    Yesterday my wife's ABS, Brake, and CEL went off. Car is driving fine however. So I went an invested in a scan tool, was able to get $10 off plus 20% plus my $5 coupon from Advance Auto so worth the purchase. The ABS is the rear sensor, this is the second time it has gone off after trying to...

    Front Brake Recommendations

    I am going to do the fronts before we take our yearly summer trip, pads and rotors. I had my expectations blown away when I did my dads 02 JGC Laredo with Brembo blanks and new pads but cannot seem to find anyone who carries the model/part for the Liberty. That being said, what are some...

    Rear Spring Clunk after install?

    I replaced the struts with KYB and a set of springs (can't recall if they are Moog or Mopar). What I've noticed is that on certain bumps and bounds along the road is a clunk from the rear. It almost sounds like the spring is contacting metal instead of the rubber isolators. Install was...

    Head Gasket? Oil Burn and Milky Oil Cap

    So for the past year I have dealt with having to add oil to the 2005 Liberty 3.7L. It started as a small bit, a half quart every 2k miles. I change the oil every 3-5k and as of late have been adding oil at a much higher rate, upwards of 1-2 quarts every 1k miles. I also noticed that under...
