    How did you end up with your KJ?

    it's a long story - but here's the short version - I wanted a 4x4 subaru, my wifes had just died at 380,000 miles, we ended up at the subaru dealer looking for one, couldn't afford anything they had, they said they had a CRD liberty for 10,000, it had 80,000 miles on it. we test drove it, it...

    P0335 code - what?!?

    I saw that, thanks, that light kinda had me psyched out, I did some google searching and read a few different "fixes" for it, tried a few last night and nothing worked, I'm going to mess with it again today and see if I can get it to go out, if it stays on, I guess I'm not going to worry about...

    P0335 code - what?!?

    I'll take a pic of it tomorrow, but here's what it is - (see pic) 6th and reverse are real close together, I don't particularly care for it, it would be real easy to slam in into reverse when trying to go into 6th, and I hear that's a common problem, there's a stop gate or somethign like that...

    P0335 code - what?!?

    not sure what I did to cause that - I put it in 4 low when I drove it up on the ramps to work on it, then disconnected the battery, when I was done fixing it, I got in the car, put it back in 2Hi, then reconnected the battery, so did I blow a sensor or solenoid or something? I know it's not in...

    P0335 code - what?!?

    totally weird, I test drove the jeep, it drove fine, ran fine, but while I was test driving it, the part time light came on, at first I thought it was stuck in 4 high, but it's just the light, as long as the lever is in 2 hi, it's in 2WD with the "part time" light on, stick it in 4Hi and the...

    P0335 code - what?!?

    I got the new sensor in it, is there any special reset procedures I should know about other then resetting the computer before I hook the battery back up and test drive it?

    P0335 code - what?!?

    I just got the car home, I hooked up the battery and it drove fine, but it was only a mile from home. I'm going to go to the dealer to get the part because I don't have time to mail order it, my wife is driving a loaner car at the moment and we only have the loaner car for the week, so I need...

    the Libby died today, my wife was driving home, the check engine light came on, all it would do is idle, if you tried to step on the throttle it would just puke out, she pulled over, disconnected the battery, left the ignition switch in the run position for a few minutes, then re-connected the...

    parts store doesn't sell lower radiator hose??

    I put it back together today, I drained the radiator and over flow tank, and filled it with water only, let it warm up to operating temperature and than let it run for about 30 minutes, and this is the color of coolant I'm getting out of it (see pic) it's almost straight water. I think I'll...

    parts store doesn't sell lower radiator hose??

    I think I can get zerex at the auto parts store, (looks like NAPA sells it for about 17 bucks a gallon) I had a gallon of that stuff and gave it away about a year ago, I remember using it in my Grand Cherokee, wasn't expecting to get another jeep so soon ...ok stupid question, I'm kinda running...

    parts store doesn't sell lower radiator hose??

    the Libby was leaking coolant so bad that today I decided to tear it apart and see what I cold do, I didn't have to dig very far to find the problem, the lower hose is fine, the thermostat the upper hose goes into was leaking, the gasket is shot, and it's right above where the lower hose...

    parts store doesn't sell lower radiator hose??

    that crown hose is the upper hose, almost had me all excited there for a minute, I ended up ordering the lower hose off ebay for 45 bucks, it wouldn't be here until tuesday of next week, so hopefully the car holds out that long.

    parts store doesn't sell lower radiator hose??

    ok, I'm sniveling, I've called every parts store in town, no one sells the lower radiator hose for my '05 libby with a power tech 2.4L gas engine. I can buy the hose through amazon for about 42 bucks or so, but I wanted to buy local because it's leaking now, and I don't want to wait for a mail...
