    How to replace radiator drain valve

    Our 2005 Liberty V-6 with 125K miles overheated in city traffic, but was OK on the road. I know the cooling system is in pretty good condition, but realized the thermostat had never been replaced. Not a fun job, but installed a new one and a lower radiator hose. Trickled water i until it came...

    Towing a Travel Trailer

    We are thinking of getting a small travel trailer to get back down to Arizona from Washington for awhile. The Jeep seems sensitive steering at times. So we wonder if towing a trailer will make it more stable or less. Appreciate all help and thoughts. 2005 Jeep Liberty Limited V-6, 4WD, Auto Trans

    How to reinstall shock strut with lift kit

    I removed the shock struts on my 2005 Liberty Limited 4wd in order to replace the shock absorbers. It has a 2" lift kit installed. I was able to find a shop that could disassemble the units, install new shocks and put it back together. However, now I can't get the things installed in the car...

    Front Drive Shaft

    Our 2005 Liberty 4WD has 130k miles. The front drive shaft has some play in it. One shop told me that I should put in one that has been converted to non-cv joint i.e. just universal joints. Is this possible and recommended? I see replacement ones on Amazon for less than $160. Do I need...

    A Few Issues

    Our 2005 Liberty Limited has a couple of things going. 1. Whenever we turn on the heater the air conditioner compressor engages. 2. The steering wheel stereo controls have stopped working. 3. With 125K miles on it and with a lift kit, it seems time to replace the shocks. What would be...

    Starting Hesitation

    Our 2005 Liberty V-6 hesitates to start when warm. We start and stop it often when we are out Geocaching. It chugs, so I turn it off and then try again and it starts. The engine swallowed a valve seat last month and we had the engine removed and both heads done. Didn’t stop it from the...

    V-6 Coolant Leak

    When I had my 2005 Liberty in for the traction bar recall they found a coolant leak from the thermostat. I replaced it and the bottom radiator hose is only a couple of year old and looked good. I find a few drops of coolant underneath after driving. I removed the skid plate, but I can't see...

    Convert to Heated Seats

    We absolutely love our 2005 Liberty Limited. However, it is becoming increasingly desirable to upgrade to heated front seats. Can it be done? Where to get parts? Appreciate all the help

    Liberty Handling

    Why a Liberty We are considering a Liberty as we do Geocaching and there are great "hides" out in the Arizona desert. So we need a smaller 4WD. It would also be our full time car except when we are in transit with the RV. I know the 2008 Liberty has a wider track and lower CG to improve...

    Liberty Handling

    We are considering purchasing a Liberty to tow behind our motorhome. We have test driven a few and don't care for the freeway handling. The Liberty seems very sensitve and squirrely at freeway speeds. Is there any way of improving it and (I can't believe I'm saying this) making it less...
