    02 Liberty wont start

    So if it is at the dealer now, take them your old computer to install and scan. I just went through all of the SCREEM stuff on my 2007 so if you had a 2007 I could really hook you up with knowledge there. I will look and see if I can find and absorb the info from 2002 and see if I can help...

    02 Liberty wont start

    Well... you have compression, spark, and fuel. Need timing and related sensors. Sucks when it won't start so you can't get anywhere to check for codes to help narrow it down. I do wonder why your heater core plugged. I am guessing he found gunk? If not it could have been air. And if it was...

    02 Liberty wont start

    OK so, explain so I have this straight. Apparently the engine is actually turning over but not running? Compression is fine, spark is fine, and I guess you also smell fuel to know there is fuel actually being injected? If so the next logical thing to check for is air. Inspect everything to...

    Anyone know what is this cable?

    Yeah best I recall on the right side of my 07 when I did my wheel bearings (with ABS) there was a wire that ran from the sensor up around through the wheel well and the connector was on the right side under the hood in the engine bay? My thought is, if a mechanic did this job, he may have just...

    Wheel bearing brands?

    I don't know why mine was such a chore at every step. All I can guess is because all of it was original and had been on there so long. But it was all seized together that is for sure. On the rotors I just kept hammering on the face and shocking stuff out until they came loose. Then they were...

    Very little heat- Diagnosing the source of the problem?

    Well I came to say it is probably air in the system. In my experience these engines can be very odd about air trapping. First time I ever did anything with the cooling system I had a heck of a time. Absolutely tried every old trick I knew of trying not to touch that bleed for fear mine was gonna...

    2006 Jeep Liberty Rocker Panel help

    Gah! This is the reason I always check where a car has been before I buy it. I always buy ones that come from south of me and not coastal. Only ever bought 2 used vehicles from northern areas. One that taught me a lesson and one I was all up under and realized the lady couldn't have ever taken...

    Wheel bearing brands?

    Mine had no play at all. I took it in to a shop to let them check to see what the noise was that had it roaring like mud tires. He could hear it was the front wheel bearings with a stethoscope. I opted to order the parts and do it myself after getting the repair quote. From my experience, this...

    greaseable suspension parts?

    Hey, I wanna piggy back here instead of starting a new thread if that is OK. If not I will... What my thought process is now is... are you guys having ball joint failures at the axle? I am guessing so. I am not having that issue. The ball joint seems to hold up for me. It is the rubber bushing...

    Replacing BFG's

    Yeah the basic I got was that if you live out in the sticks and run a lot of gravel or rock roads, or trail a lot in rocky areas the new KO2 will last longer because the lugs don't chunk off. I never had that issue with my old ones but saw some off his farm truck and was like dang! That's bad...

    Replacing BFG's

    Well, I spent some time talking to a guy who lives far out in the country like I used to, who spends more time off the pavement than I do because he lives on a gravel state road, and drives gravel roads around the farm that cross areas that must be graveled to make a solid road bed. He has...

    There's not really a KJ replacement

    Yeah the bronco should measure up. The likely issue (for me) would be the expense. And there isn't a used market yet. Doing what I do with mine would make me sick to my stomach in a new vehicle. My KJ isn't trashed or anything. It's actually still pretty nice on the outside, just dirty at the...

    Lost 5 mpg???

    This did eventually get better after a reset and couple tanks of fuel. I replaced my PCM recently which reminded me of this because I noticed after the change it idles slightly worse but runs out better and also shifts a little different. Didn't really notice before. Slow decline I guess...

    There's not really a KJ replacement

    OK, I will start keeping my eyes peeled for older models too. I had only really been scanning for 06-07 with good miles. So that might help. The posts after yours about ice and snow remind me to ask... do the models without ABS still have the big brake controller and wheel speed sensor setup...

    Water pump life not great

    Yeah it got real cold here recently and I noticed a leak. Upon close inspection it was the gasket AGAIN. I took it apart and put a Felpro on to try this time (blue). The one that was on there was OK looking black rubber, but it aparently wasn't rubbery enough anymore to seal in the cold. It...

    There's not really a KJ replacement

    Interesting... Is there any particular reason for 02-05 preference vs 06+? Is it just a first body style preference? Mine is an 07 which looks pretty much the same to me except bumpers, grills and rocker covers. I've only ever owned the 07. My friend had an 06 that I liked a little better than...

    There's not really a KJ replacement

    Yeah I am betting that is what I remembered, tanks up front over the radiator.

    There's not really a KJ replacement

    I guess what one person saying about buyers leaving the KJ behind is kinda true. Newer crowd is looking for electronic gadget cars, better ride on road, better gas mileage, or more comfort. I don't really care about that gadget stuff. Keyless entry and power windows is enough tech to suit me...

    There's not really a KJ replacement

    I've only ever looked at one once. Seems like it was bigger in the back like the Nitro. I want to say I popped the hood and lost interest? I don't know if it's really that much harder to work on. But I don't remember it looking old school like the KJ under there. I should stop sometime and look...

    tailgate switch frozen?

    With mine the rear door lock wasn't unlocking, leaving me screwed. I crawled through, popped off the access door and unplugged it. it started working again when I plugged it back up. It did this a couple times before I got pissed and just pulled the plug out and shut the little access door on...
