I did the swap myself on my 2002 liberty. I did plenty of research on what engines will work because I really just wanted a used engine that would get the jeep going with the least amount of work. on a used motor, you get all the sensors, intake, exhaust manifolds, motor mounts, injectors...

The 2002 jeep engines are NOT the same as the 04+ engines. You CANNOT use a newer engine in a 2002 liberty. You can only use a 2002-2003 3.7 from either a liberty, ram truck, or possiby a dakota. The reluctor wheel inside the engine on the crankshaft is different and you will not be...

take the glove box door and squeeze the tabs so it folds all the way down. Look up to the top right side and see if the screen is covered with lint...mine looked like my dryer screen. My a/c was working better on normal than on max....so I started to see why the blower door wasn't...

Ok....now how do you do a transmission "re-learn"? I changed my fluid and installed the gasket that came with the filters....and it squeezed out just a bit at one corner as I installed the pan.......and leaked. I went back and used good ole' black rtv and everything is great. The...

the thermostat on the 3.7 is on the engine at the bottom hose....a heater in the hose would be worthless. A magnet block heater would be easier....but don't ask me...I am in Texas.

I got the jeep from a co-worker after his wife ran it for a long time without an oil change...it somehow ran out of oil and the bearings were damaged. I did spend a few hundred on new motor mounts, spark plugs, belts, hoses, trans filters, exhaust manifold gaskets, oil and fluids, and I got a...

no need to change the computer.....and actually working on a newer engine is in many ways easier than the old school carbs and timing....on these engines there are a lot of electrical connectors but no adjustments to timing, fuel, etc. Adjusting the distributor and setting the timing on an...

got a rebuilt engine and got it all installed and started today. Jeep runs good except for a code p0132 (o2 sensor)...that is on the driver side...same side of the engine that had the 4 rockets flopping around loose in the valve cover....should be an easy fix. I will check it tomorrow to...

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to know the year model of an engine based on the sticker on the side of the engine block. I have a rebuilt engine to put in my jeep and I want to know if there is a way to tell what year jeep or dodge truck it came out of. TIA Jason

taking the old engine out is the easy part.......installing the new one will be a lot harder getting all the bolts to align. The only thing I am hating is how they attached the wiring harness all over the engine with plastic connectors that break very easily and cannot be re-used if they...

more pics This is my first attempt at replacing an engine in a vehicle. I have done head gaskets, a/c work, fuel injectors, intakes, etc....but I have never removed a transmission or engine before.

pics of the removal

I got it all out today...one of the top trans bolts I got from the top of the engine...with the trans dip stick and the wiring harness in the way, the only way I could see to reach it was to remove the intake manifold and get it from there. The only damage I had was the fuel rail..as I...

I got the engine to turn over...I removed the spark plugs and it cranked. I go the bolts out of the flywheel....but man were they tiny...I expected something a little stronger than 4 little tiny bolts. My biggest problem has been all the electrical connectors are cracking and crumbling when...

I paid $900 for it. It has 104,000 miles on it and everything else is in good shape...tires are about half-worn....windshield has a crack in it. I listened to the engine noise...it sounded like it was in the top of the motor...not like a rod end....I may try to take out the timing chains...

Thanks...that is what I figured I would have to do. Has anyone removed the engine/trans in one piece?

sorry for the wording....I bought the jeep knowing it had a knocking motor.....I was hoping it would stay running until I pull it out. I am concerned on how I am going to unbolt the torque converter from the flywheel when I cannot turn the motor. BTW I have a 2wd liberty..so no transfer...

I just bought a 2002 liberty 3.7 with automatic transmission. The jeep was ran very low on oil and damaged the engine. I bought the jeep and I ordered a new engine. I drove the jeep a few miles home and the engine locked up. I wish it had held up a little longer because I think it may be a...
