    Engine Rebuild Situation

    It went out driving home from work on a regular city cruise. The clang was almost unbearable. We did new gaskets, timing chain, and water pump while we rebuilt the lower end. The top end looked great, so we cleaned it up and left it alone. Its almost back together now. Torque converter? Is this...

    Engine Rebuild Situation

    Well as my luck would have it, my 03 2wd Sport's engine went out on me at 102xxx, just passed the 100k extended warranty. Crank bearings on cylinder 5 and 3 either separated or turned, and will have to be replaced. Pretty much comes down to rebuilding the lower end of the engine. I'd trade it or...

    Flex Plate Repair/Replacement

    Well today was the day. Driving home from work Libby let out a nasty clicking/pinging sound that varied dependently with my RPMs. Progressively got worse and worse until it just sounded way to horrible to drive. Had a couple mechanic friends come over and listen, and determined that it was...

    Issue with transmission... or something...

    Yeah, it will only do it with overdrive off... is this common? Should I let it go or drag into the stealership to see what they have to say?

    Issue with transmission... or something...

    Maybe someone can help here... I've got a bit of an issue... while towing a light trailer (lawn mower...), the transmission or something seemed to jump and have trouble changing gears, it jerks abruptly and repeatedly until it finally changes gears, however, this only happens between second...

    Odd Heater Problem

    This is very annoying with the twenty degree mornings! My heater blows cold air until the car starts moving, once the car gets up to speed, it will warm up like normal. Once I hit a red light or stop sign, it starts blowing cold air again... I'm stuck and cold, any ideas?

    tongue weight

    I've used a hitch mounted carrier to haul my dirtbike around with zero problems. The biggest problem is prevent the bike from rubbing againt the tire. I had to turn to rubber matting material to act as a buffer between my bike and the spare.

    Dead Power Outlet

    My front power outlet (cigar lighter) is dead! I changed the fuse (num. 31 according to my manual) and it didn't fix anything. Any ideas? Different fuse? The rear one works fine.

    Yet another code

    If all else fails, the dealership can fix it for under a hundred bucks. They have a machine that does something that apparantly tells them where the leak is.... unless the mechanic lied, which would'nt surprise me.

    2007 Liberty & New Boat

    I use my KJ to tow my 19 foot bowrider almost weekly. No problems at all. Mine has the Tow Package from the factory however. Stopping seems to be the biggest issue, as my trailer has no brakes.

    Power Short...

    I don't really see how the CD installation would have anything to do w/ the car not starting. Those things are usually grounded and if anything would blow a fuse before doing anything else. I would check your battery connection and possibly your battery. Best Buy could have wired the power...

    U-Haul Trailer

    Any of those trailers will be fine. You'll probably feel the 12 foot trailer back there since its a bit longer, it might tend to wobble a bit at high speed while empty. I've pulled alot of trailers w/ mine, from a 19 foot boat, to a 6 foot lawn mower trailer to a 12 foot motorcycle trailer...

    Battery / Alternator / Starter probs?

    It could also be that bit of corrosion. Mine did the EXACT same thing. I went ahead and setup an appointment at the dealership to get it service. Just before calling a tow truck to pull it in, I sanded off the corrosion around the negative terminal, and the problem was solved.

    Power outlet/ lighter problem

    I agree w/ Bob. My gauge cluster went out and the fuse that was blown was NOT the fuse labeled in the manual.

    Towing a boat

    No trouble at all! I saw some mini vans pulling in towing boats about the same size as my boat. At that point I had no doubt the libby would do fine.

    Dash Illumination

    The fuse is the same fuse as the interior lights/cd player, and they work fine... I'll check again anyway.
