So I brought the KJ home tonight finally since I decided I don't really want to sell it...and so begins the troubleshooting. I've linked to a video with a strange pulsating noise that I can't quite place. At first I thought it was a wheel bearing but the rate of the pulse doesn't change in time...

So here's the deal...I have an 02 Renegade 5-speed that I love to death and which owes me nothing. It's at 186,500 on the body and engine and 116k on the transmission. It's been for sale for a while now because I picked up a job 43 miles from home and flat out can't afford to drive it there...

Once again, I'm posting here in the hopes that someone might have SOME idea of where to go with this. I've got an 02 KJ with 186k on it, and have been fighting with it for the last two months to get it to run right. First day it started, I went out to turn it on and it cranked, turned over...

So, I just got the fuel pump replaced in my Renegade, (-$490), there was an issue when he tried to start it up again after he replaced it so he had to run a new ground to bypass the sentry key module (something I've posted about having issues with several times over the years, code NO SKIM BUS)...

My KJ has been leaking windshield washer fluid when I try to use the rear dispenser. I can see it leaking, but can't seem to locate the source. I know it isn't the main tank because it only leaks after trying to use the rear wiper. Does anyone have any experience replacing and/or fixing whatever...

So, I found out the other night why I have always had so much trouble backing my trailer up at night...apparently both of my reverse lights are out. I'm not sure how long they've been out or whether I've even ever had any (it's always passed inspection), but does anyone have a link to a how-to...

So, this is probably a hopeless cause, but I was wondering if anyone on here might know if there were ever any plastic models or model kits made of the 02-07 Liberties. So far the closest I can find is a Matchbox Liberty.

So, mechanic checked out the tranny and removed the heat shield to fix the front rattling, but still couldn't determine what the rear rattling is. Now, on my way home tonight, I'm suddenly being dripped on. Anyone ever had to fix this before? I'm guessing it's rusted under the light bar...

So, let me start by mentioning that my KJ has been to THREE different mechanics and nobody can tell me what the noise coming from the back of my Jeep is that sounds like I am dragging a ten foot chain across pavement. It seems to be coming from the passenger side drum brake, which is pretty...

So I haven't been on here in quite some time, but I figured I should start out my newest problem thread with a mention of the fact that ever since my KJ hit 150k, she's been causing or attracting trouble :disgust: I moved to Cobleskill in September of 2011 and two weeks later someone drove into...

So I've noticed within the last year or so my Jeep has gotten so it really hesitates and loses speed on hills...it's not really a big problem but it is kind of annoying when I have to down shift two gears or so to make it up hills it used to go up just fine. Any ideas what might be causing it?

Just out of curiosity, are the powerstop brake boxes for trailers made specific to the make and model of a vehicle? We are going to be selling our Ford Ranger, and I want to get a brake box put on my Jeep to pull our horse trailer, and I was wondering if the one in the Ranger could be installed...

So, let me first start off by saying that I just moved to Cobleskill last month, and it has proven a NIGHTMARE for cars in my family. First off, my parents' Ranger can no longer tow anything because the frame and part of the hitch rusted through. Then the day we were bringing furniture down...

So I haven't been on here in forever, but I thought I'd share the fact that I revamped my "YES, it's a stick" tire cover with my new business =D Ain't she a beauty?! Unfortunately the other beauty this one's strapped to has been a real pain lately, with the AC dying and now the regulator...

So I changed the spark plugs in my Liberty tonight, just like I've done before, had no problems, hooked everything back up, started her up, runs fine, drives fine...a few hours later, driving it back to my aunt's house: Air bag light, check engine light, oil pressure light, sentry key light...

So today, driving home, my AC was ice cold, as usual, but I noticed there was a funny smell. It went away, so I thought it was something in the area I was driving through, but a few miles later my AC warmed up for no reason. It stayed this way for about 10 miles, almost blowing warm air but...

So, I've towed our empty horse trailer with my KJ before, but that's all I've ever towed, and it wasn't exactly heavy (being empty and all =P). This time I was planning on towing our boat, which weighs less than the 3500 lbs my KJ is rated to pull (considering the manual tranny). My dad is...

Ordered my new tires today...General Grabber AT2s...due to arrive Thursday, and will be just about $500 for everything--tires, installation, and balance. I think they're coming at a pretty good time:

So my headlight went out on the passenger side, just the main headlight (brights still work and foglights works.) Came back on the other night, then went out again, so I hit it and now it's stayed on...any suggestions as to what would be causing it? Bad ground/wire/whatever the heck you want...

...and everything would have gone smoothly had the dealer not found the lugnuts torqued so tightly that they had to be soaked and DRILLED OFF. Charged me $115 and told me to take the receipt with the notes on what they had to do back to Monro where I last had the tires rotated. I'd have been...
