Took an '06 Liberty CRD out for a test drive yesterday. Tried all the transfer case modes. 2WD, Part Time, Full Time all worked as they should.
4Lo had a major issue. I got it into and out of 4lo with no difficulty but when in 4lo, it was extremely lurchy. I lightly pressed the accelerator and it waited until the count of 2 then it seriously lurched forward (knocking my foot off the accelerator). I tried again, same thing, but this time I kept the accelerator down and it seemed to be somewhat okay driving (ran out of straight line room, had to get out of 4lo before turning on dry pavement). This has never happened in my '04 3.7L. Is this a worry? Can anyone offer a possible explanation? Or does the 2.8L torque hit that hard in 4lo?
This is the only Liberty CRD I can find within a reasonable drive (up to 3 hours one way), otherwise I'd pass on it. The only other one sold a day before I got to it (it was my #1 choice but I missed it).
