    Random Misfire 2007 Liberty

    I assume you moved the coils around too. Etc. I think it is time to start looking at the wiring for #1 and #6 Running voltage and then ohm from coil connector to PCM connector. I hope you find it there because if not that leaves the PCM or compression... and I really hope it isn't...

    Random Misfire 2007 Liberty

    I had the same thing twice. Well I don't remember the codes. But after replacing the coils on those plugs, I got mad and replaced the injectors and that was the issue both times. I've had a coil riding around under the seat for probably 100K miles. I have replaced 2 injectors so far. I'd...

    Transmission scare VLP 42RLE

    Yeah mine has the individual wheel speed sensors on all four. I haven't completely ruled out the bad wheel speed sensor as the cause either really. I put the new on on the 11th and hit the road. I have not had the wierd slip again since that first drive after putting it on. The 07 has a bunch...

    No heat Still 2003 liberty 3.7L

    Yeah but in this case with these symptoms it sound at least pretty likely the issue is from mixing Dexcool or OAT coolant in with HOAT coolant and the two are not compatible. A chemical reaction occurs that will **** your water pump and seals, and it also creates a biproduct like oatmeal in the...

    No heat Still 2003 liberty 3.7L

    Oh no... so sorry. I had someone make the same mistake as you did on mine. The orange coolant is wrong and incompatible, prestone or any brand. Mopar coolant is HOAT coolant. To me it looks red. Some say it looks redorange. And in some overflow bottles (mine) it looks orange. But when you look...

    Just got the KJ back from the shop. Still Getting hot at highway speeds.

    Oh, you got an 07. Air entrapment is a big issue. I have been there and it was bad. Do you have heat? I assume some yes since the time of year and you didn't say no heat. Mine was so bad I had no heat either. I had to get it on a very steep hill front up the hill, run it with heat on wide open...

    Transmission scare VLP 42RLE

    02blue, This is interesting to say the least given the list of culprits from the code. I didn't realize. I thought it was just a stored code from when my battery died a while back. I never have any issues with the cable ends on this vehicle. I will check the grounds and so forth and go have it...

    42RLE and 45RFE Transmission Filter and Gasket Info

    Me either and the person that said this to me may not have said it how he meant to. They are a Mopar shop and would put a Mopar filter in if they did the service. And it wasn't meant to discourage me from using a Mopar filter, nor would it. This is a place with about an acre full of Jeeps and...

    42RLE and 45RFE Transmission Filter and Gasket Info

    Anyone have an aftermarket recommendation for the transmission filter that is laid out like OEM and has worked fine? If so what parts store? First thing I thought of was check with NAPA to see if Wix makes one. IDK. Mopar is on backorder right now.

    Transmission scare VLP 42RLE

    Confirmed no codes at the independent Mopar place I have by me. They recommended go ahead with early service also. Said it was most likely filter related. He said they have actually seen some of these Mopar filters split and seen issues with the o ring. I called the dealers around and none...

    Oil usage help

    On the LIBERTY, crank it up, pull the dipstick out while running and check for suction or **** out on the end of the dipstick tube. If you have it there it may be an easy fix. Shut it off, open the airbox, check the foam side filter where the breather tube comes into the airbox. Clean it or...

    2006 KJ - ABS, Traction Control, ESP/BAS, Brake Light

    I have been through kind of similar recently. Here is my advice. Take the right rear wheel off. Take the 2 bolts out of the right rear caliper and pry the caliper up. Hit the face of the rotor between the studs with a hammer a few times til you can slide the caliper off. Look back in there for...

    Transmission fill level

    I need a bit of help on the transmission fill level. I have an 07 with no dipstick and a stock pan. I understand 2006 came with a dipstick I can probably buy and check the fluid with less frustration. On the other hand maybe there is a reason they removed the dipstick other than to make it a...

    Little to no heat

    For me this issue was air. How is your temp guage reading? My advice is get the front up as steep as you can, put the heat on, run it with the cap off until it starts spilling out and you have to cap it. Then open the allen. You may even have to do it a few times and you may have to crack the...

    Transmission fluid in radiator

    Shesh... been through similar-ish situation, so I have to respond. ORANGE IS THE WRONG COOLANT The correct coolant is HOAT. So Mopar hoat which is RED, or Zerex G-05 hoat formula (which is what I run now) Kinda yellow. How I know this is I had similar happen to me at a dang DEALER. They were...

    Transmission scare VLP 42RLE

    When it does it, it catches me by surprise. So I really don't know if it's slipping at the shift point and missing the shift or if it is right before. Can't be sure. The shifts have always been pretty smooth, so I am not in tune anticipating to feel the shift like I have been in previous...

    Transmission scare VLP 42RLE

    I was going to ask you to measure your fluid level. But I'm guessing the actual trans dipstick doesn't touch the pan like I have to measure mine, and I'm just using the engine oil dipstick and measuring with a kids ruler on the CM side which converts to the MM easy. I could go off inches too...

    Transmission scare VLP 42RLE

    I asked and the scanner should have pulled the transmission codes if they were stored. I still think it would be a good idea to get scanned elsewhere, do a live data scan, get the CVI, etc with a SnapOn or similar. It seems happier since changing the wheel speed sensor. But I think I still...

    Transmission scare VLP 42RLE

    Yeah it's more red when you first wipe. Then fades to light pink. Surely they are using Mopar ATF+4 at the dealer? I was also thinking if they did nothing it would look like burnt motor oil by 232k? It it was getting hot or the frictions were sad and slipping it wouldn't be so light pastel...

    Transmission scare VLP 42RLE

    This is what the fluid looks like. Looked the same a bit after the 120k service also when I checked with an 06 dipstick.

Standard so far except tyres changed to Grabber AT2
Lifted, new tires and wheels
Cargo rack with door closed.
Hole in the back where the seat used to be. Would be really impractical to try to install the seat covers with the seats in the Jeep.
