    Leaking water pump

    My original water pump had reddish RTV, and way too much of it for any application, on the gasket. And I'm sure it was factory because I drove the Liberty off the lot with less than 3 miles on the odometer and no one has ever touched the engine but me.

    Rust Repair

    Replacement rockers are readily available. Here's one place. Lots of others on the internet. 02-07 Jeep Liberty Patch Panels To do this yourself you need to be a very good welder. Other than exotic metals thin metal like body panels is about the hardest material to weld.

    Liberty Thermostat Location/Change ?

    Yes. And it won't fit into the housing backward anyway.

    Dead battery...again

    That's about what I keep getting from batteries. And all of them seem to be fine one day and dead as a doornail the next.

    A/C Controls, I Was Hoping This Day Wouldn't Come

    Yes. At 90F ambient the low side should be 45 to 55 PSI. Mine was running about 25.

    A/C Controls, I Was Hoping This Day Wouldn't Come

    Thanks. Did that. Then started it to watch the actuators as I ran through the positions. Dash vents worked fine. I'm 99.9% sure the evaporator coil iced up.

    A/C Controls, I Was Hoping This Day Wouldn't Come

    On the way home from a road trip yesterday the A/C quit blowing through the dash vents. I could hear the fan changing speeds with the switch so it works. I'm guessing it's either the control switch or a loose vacuum line (hopefully) or the flapper door actuators or doors (dread). I really don't...

    How did you first find your KJ?

    We had a Mitsubishi Eclipse and decided we wanted a small SUV instead. Looked for weeks at all the different makes & models and decided on a Liberty. Went to the closest dealer and spent a couple hours haggling. They never came close to what was offered in an ad by a dealer about 30 miles away...

    A/C fan speed

    Remove the glove box. Very easy to do. Look straight through the opening and you will see a screen on the mixing box. It's probably completely covered in dust and plugged. Vacuum it clean and the airflow on recirc will be like new.

    73 CJ5 swap

    Advance Adapters, and probably others, make bell housings to adapt a Chevy SB to a Jeep tranny. They also make motor mount kits, radiators with the proper inlet/outlet and all sorts of small pieces to make the swap pretty much bolt in.

    CD won't eject

    I have a stuck CD too. At least it's a favorite Jimmy Buffett CD. CD player started intermittently not ejecting. Then one day it wouldn't eject at all and hasn't since. Jimmys' been stuck for almost a year.

    AC recirculate setting issue- Not blowing hard

    That's pretty much what mine looked like.

    A\C Setting And Airflow

    I meant to post this earlier. Might have saved one member a lot of time if I had. The problem was the recirculate intake screen being clogged with dust. Remove the glove box and it's straight ahead on the right. Took 10 minutes and it works like new.

    AC recirculate setting issue- Not blowing hard

    I started a thread on my 2004 doing this same thing a couple of weeks ago. Mine was a dust clogged screen also. Thank goodness I saw the clogged screen before I really started taking things apart. All you have to remove to get access to the screen is the glove box. A 10 second job. With the...

    A\C Setting And Airflow

    Thanks. I thought I remembered recirulate blowing the hardest. Just wanted to make sure before I started digging.

    A\C Setting And Airflow

    Now that it's summer I'm noticing the A\C doing something I don't remember it doing before. On the normal dash vent setting the system blows like a gale. Moving the setting to "recirculate" the airflow drops at least half. I don't remember there being that much difference. Is this normal or do I...

    How long will a typical Jeep Liberty engine last?

    Just hit 120,000. Replaced water pump, one O2 sensor and battery twice. Runs just like she did when I drove her off the lot.

    Creaky Front End

    I'll be watching for results. Mine developed a loud creak in the right front last winter. But only when it's cold. It didn't do it all summer and I was hoping it went away. Alas, it's back now that it's in the 30s most mornings.

    Jeep keys

    Not even all 05 and up have them. Ours is an 05 and I have a plain old basic $2 spare key that I keep in the garage to move the Liberty around and another one hidden on the Liberty to use when I can't find the originals. They both work fine.
