    2002 Liberty Engine Dying

    Perhaps if the engine was quite cold and the oil was still very thick then the oil pressure may have dropped below the minimum pressure when he let off the throttle. I used to get the low oil pressure light popping up sometimes in my old E36 when it was cold out, the engine was cold, and the AC...

    2002 Liberty Engine Dying

    I believe the mechanic was giving your truck what we in America would call "The Italian tune up." Obviously, this is an authentic Italian tune up as it is actually in Italy! Running the engine at high RPM for a short period of time can help remove carbon deposits and can help keep your engine...

    Copper spark plugs -vs- others

    From an engineering/product planning perspective platinum et al plugs are spec'd from the factory on many vehicles now is the super long service life. If the plugs can survive the entire period the vehicle is under warranty then the manufacturer won't have to pay a technician to replace those...

    H&R Spring Review

    I’ve got a set of these springs coming along with Bilstein 4600s. Also ordered from Essex. Good guys to deal with! I just Bilstein would provide more technical info on the dampers. I asked the guys at Essex and they don’t have much mor eof anything to add the what the Bilstein site has. The...

    Stock Suspension Upgrade (No Lift)

    Okay, I can appreciate that there is accumulated wisdom here that comes from experience, but why add the additional bumpstop? Rubbing? Body roll? There must be some reason to do it.

    Stock Suspension Upgrade (No Lift)

    Those Bilsteins he is using are the standard length units, right? (24139175) No mention of oversized tires, so why add an inch of bump stop in the rear? Is these something about these Bilsteins or OME springs that necessitate more bump stop?

    Transmission and desert heat

    Keep in mind here that your 4x4 modes and control are separate from the transmission. All 4x4 matters are controlled by your transfer case, so if there is an issue with shifting from one 4x4 mode to another that generally won't be effected by the transmission. Also, and sorry to be pedantic...

    Black smoke? Just a bit!

    A big leak in the air intake system like you have will allow a ton of air to leave the system before entering the engine unaccounted for. The engine computer monitors the amount of air flowing to the engine using the MAP sensor, so if it measures an amount of air coming in and then that air...

    Word censorship?

    Those are all just coming up as "*****"! Hahah. You need to separate the letters to get around the censor. I'm assuming this is a list of helpful words that you've posted and not just a bunch of swear words lol.

    Word censorship?

    Is there a list of banned words? Without that how can one choose their words carefully? There seems to be plenty of technical words that are censored.

    Word censorship?

    Is there a way to turn off the censorship of words on this forum? There are tons of random words that show up only as "*****" and this can make some posts tough to read as critical words will be censored. This forum isn't one that has a whole lot of lewd language, so this feature is more of a...

    No heat Still 2003 liberty 3.7L

    Would a dealer be able to get the air out with a pressurized flush of the system, or would that not force trapped air out? Interesting journey you are on here. You are really exhausting all the possibilities!

    16" vs 17" Wheels?

    I just put a set of Nokian Rotiva AT 245/70R16s onto my KJ this week. They are on standard 5-spoke Liberty Limited "Mechanica" 16x7 rims. Offset is either 41 or 37mm, I will update later tonight with the correct spec. No rubbing at all. My KJ is at 18-some inches fender to hub center in the...

    Ooooh, I see. I suspected they were JK rims. Adapters! Of course. There are tons for sale around here and I was wondering how you got them to fit. I think they look good!

    Starting issue and fuel filling problem

    Hi folks, An issue is just starting to crop up with my KJ lately. There are two things and they might be related: 1. Sometimes the truck is soow to start. It needs about an additional second of cranking or else the engine will stumble and die out. It seems like this might be worse when the fuel...

    Hello, thinking of restoring a KJ for the wife...

    SUV prices are insane this year. I paid $5400CDN ($4400USD) for my 05 Sport with 210,000km (120,000mi). $8,000 for an '03 seems like waaaay to much. It does LOOK good in the photos though. No red flags, it's a good colour, and I'd say anyone who took the time to maintain the underbody likely...
