    Scan Tools

    Thanks Dadosix I have looked that one over. Mostly looks like it's going for about $899. Which is more than I wanted to spend. I'm looking at some of the Autel's for around $400. But which don't have full TPMS function. dc

    Scan Tools

    I read a lot of posts on Lost Jeeps, I think and some mentioned using the Autel DS708 I think it was. They are/were as they are older and been outmoded, but were I think $1,100. I'm looking at some good ones around $400.00, which really is not cheap either. But, I was thinking, if you add up...

    Scan Tools

    I'm looking for a good scan tool. I have a Innovo 3100 that can read codes. And reset, etc. However it is not "bi directional" which means that it cannot run checks on various components. I'd like one that can do that. I'd also like it to have diagnostic capabilities. That is, tell me...

    Best Way to Check 4 Wheel Drive

    Thanks Tom I have found in the glove box book bag a card that said register with Jeep.com. It looks like that doesn't exist anymore and I ended up registering with Mopar.com. But it wouldn't let me enter vehicle info so I had to chat and they entered it. I then went to the equipment list on...

    Best Way to Check 4 Wheel Drive

    Reading Haynes and Chilton's they say for 4 wheel drive, there are 5 transfer cases. One mentions 7, but two of which may be limited to the Nitro model. So, now I'm more confused. I have the recommended Amsoil for the front and rear diffs, and Mopar atf for the transfer case. And a Lube...

    Best Way to Check 4 Wheel Drive

    Yeah, I posted car, but I figured the Jeep didn't read this forum. I have the owners manual, in a army style cloth bag. I have read it. However, I don't know if it is the original book from this Jeep, or just a 2008 manual someone put in there along the way at some time. It reads about...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I have noticed my windshield washer fluid is frozen as well. As far as I can tell, it has not broken the plastic box. I have never used that stuff in my life (71 years). I did notice at Walmart, ww fluid WINTER FORMULA. So I guess the deal is, that, in this climate, also Minnesota, you...

    Best Way to Check 4 Wheel Drive

    I want to check the operation of the 4 wheel drive prior to changing all the fluids. What's the best way? I have the front jacked up, I could just jack the rear and see what spins regular and then in 4 wheel drive. I can imagine there are those that can hear the solenoid engage in the...

    2008 Liberty Limited Oil Filter

    Oil pan looks normal. No rust or bangs, but I like your idea of some paint on it. Since I'll have to have the at pan out I'll assess it then and even see if I should just replace it. Good to know about the temp on that. There is salt and some other crazy road/snow/ice stuff, but not really...

    2008 Liberty Limited Oil Filter

    You are absolutely right Tom, I shoulda got the KJ. But, I didn't. I'm happy. Next I think is ATF and filter. The at pan looks a little rusty and a little poked, from a rock maybe, or something. I'll buff it and put some paint on it. Also my rear transmission cross brace is looking rather...

    2008 Liberty Limited Oil Filter

    Had a lot of fun today changing the oil and filter. The oil plug was on so tight I had to get out the impact to get it off. Torqued it back on. There were no oil leaks on the ground after a month, but some started when I got going in there. Then for the filter. That's a real joke there...

    TPMS New Sensors

    I had posted in an old thread (or two) about my experience on my motorcycle. Those old threads, even tho' I new posted in them don't show up in "New Posts" due to the way they have set up this forum. On my motorcycle, the tpms sensors were still working but 12 years old. So I replaced them...

    TPMS New Sensors

    Thanks I watched that video and I have been watching a lot of his videos in the last month or so. He works on a number of Jeeps, but mostly, or all KJs, and no KKs as far as I have seen. It always sounds to me like he is saying welcome to the Self Made channel. But he's actually saying South...

    TPMS Light Blinking

    More resurrection. My understanding was that Ford, thanks to the suits there, (I mean the business execs) didn't want the Explorer to ride like a truck so they recommended 24 lbs pressure in the Explorer. Way too low. Would cause blow outs in any tire, when the lazy people let them get much...

    New TPMS sensors won't relearn

    Yes, necrophilia here, resurrecting an old thread. Finally Gopher solved his issue by getting Discount tire to do what he paid them to do and what they are supposed to know how to do. If you see my other thread, I am having this issue but want to find the solution before I buy the wrong...

    TPMS New Sensors

    I'm having a problem with one of the sensors on 2008 Liberty Limited, with TPMS. One tire is always reading low even tho' it isn't low. If I just get a new sensor from Mopar do I have to "wake it up" with a tool, and then program it in, or do they do that on their own. On my motorcycle I had...

    2005 JEEP Liberty Center Wheel Cap Size

    I think the only way to verifty on that is measure what you have. I have yet to find any wheels like mine anywhere. And those caps are going to be specific to the wheel, and not some standard size. The wheels on the Jeep might be original equipment, or something the dealer changed out with...

    Opening Door for Door Lock

    Well a snow fall over night has delayed my 2nd set of hands til tomorrow. I did manage to get the speaker out and feel behind the glass at low point. I can feel the connector and the tooth tab that has to release. Tomorrow with the second set of hands, who understands the issue and the...

    Keep Liberty 2008 shaking at start up

    When it does that, have you tried shutting it off, and then trying to start it again? dc

    Opening Door for Door Lock

    Thanks Howard Yes, that gives me another new idea. That I may simply have to take out the speaker and go in to the outside of the glass. I saw on one video that it just snaps back in for reassembly. My other overnight thought was, put a magnifying glass over the hole and maybe I can see...
