Saturday, Dec 4 I drove 100 miles to a trail head. Got gas, and the shut off didn't work so gas spilled down the side of Jeep, as happened at same station a month ago. 2008 Liberty Limited. Onto the trail about 25 miles and ... check engine light. And rough running. Put the Autel code...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Saturday, the 6th. Went down to Torrey, Utah, and east to the Cathedral Valley loop. 70 miles of off road, starts with driving down the river to cross it. Dirt, gravel, sand, dry wash crossings, wet wash crossings. and fantastic scenery. Red rock sandstone formations. A little rock...- David13

New Owner Essential Checks and Servicing
I would say everything. I say don't over look anything. Don't think anything is good. Anything that can be serviced, new oil, etc. Anything. Depending on your meteorological location get winter capable windshield washer fluid. dc- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Drove the Jeep to work all week as I was waiting for a downstream O2 sensor and ELD for the Honda. I like it, but it's 20 mpg instead of 40 mpg, and I'm well known as cheap. Put a little brake fluid in the Jeep. It looks dirty in there. Now that the Honda is back on the road I need to get...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Wednesday, drove to work. Saturday had the trailer on with ATV on trailer. 75 miles, parked and went up a trail to the Paiute trail. Rugged, steep, rocky, rutty with water crossings. Got up to about 10,000 feet and sat and ate lunch while looking at a bald mountain much higher up, well...- David13

Tire Browning
Just another reason why I hate tire gloss and glossy tires. But, turned brown? Ugh. Of all the colors in the world for them to turn. Brown? Could be worse I suppose. Pink? How about some type of black. Maybe shoe polish? dc- David13

Proper Pressure
Oh, and check the air on a regular basis. Don't just assume the air goes in there on it's own. It don't. And no, you don't need to go to a "professional" to have the air checked.- David13

Proper Pressure
Many tires fit on many different vehicles. Usually the pressure on the tire is the MAXIMUM. The appropriate pressure for your vehicle is usually on a sticker or decal on the door (driver's) jamb. You can lower your pressure for driving and traction on sand or other surfaces. But then...- David13

.?.
Looks like a handful of junkyard parts. The valve cover bolt probably won't matter, but again a junkyard bolt, if you can get the old one out. As to the leaky valve cover gasket, rtv blue sealer in effect glues the valve cover on to the point where it is too hard to get off. Don't use too...- David13

Ac leaking all over passenger side
I understand that a/c usually drips condensate onto the ground. And people think they have a water leak because of it. But I cannot imagine that anyone would route the a/c drip into the passenger compartment. But then, this is a Chrysler. The other possibility and usual situation there is...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
When I looked at it, I thought it was a rather small tarantula. I have yet to see any here in Utah, but when I lived in California, there were a lot of them but much bigger. dc- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
I hadn't thought of a new seal. I could look it over closely. It is the switch that makes the window pop up (this is not like yours, it's a 2008). So it's not the latch for the gate, but for the window. But I also wonder if I could adjust where it latches (the window to the gate). As none...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Saturday. Went up a nearby city canyon road, from near 5000 feet asl to the top, Skyline Drive 10,000+ fasl, then back down the other side to the east. Big beautiful reservoir out there all surrounded by mountains. I had brought a Subway (RegTM, etc) with me out there. The young man making...- David13

2021 Great Basin Desert Expedition
I was over there last week. Baker, and Border Inn and Ely. Beer cans and bottles all along the road. I see the same thing on my ATV, cans and bottles all along the trail. I usually come out with a bag full. dc- David13

window does not work metal cable comes out through plastic tube
Yes. Probably replace the regulator, as the inner door mechanism that opens and closes the window is called. I'm seeing $105 online. Try your dealer, parts department, or online. dc- David13

Transmission fluid change?
I always "change" mine every 25k miles or so. By that I mean drain out, then refill, not a full flush. Some vehicles have filters, some don't. Just replace what was taken out with the same quantity and the right type for the vehicle. On my 2008 Liberty, I dropped the pan to get the filter...- David13

Input on Possible Purchase of a 2002
Lug nuts can easily be replaced. That's not a big deal. But what kind of maintenance does it indicate? I have never seen anyone offering a car for sale with 4 lug nuts missing, or is that just the chrome cap missing from the nut? Watch the exhaust at cold start. Is it burning oil? The...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Used the Jeep to pull the ATV on a trailer up to a nearby city, and made it all the way to the top, on the ATV. Going south on the road/trail along the ridge was stopped with snow. Going north I was able to go all the way to Highway 31. Beautiful weather up there (10,000 ft level) tho' it was...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
You can add one, just like you can add one to the transmission (drain plug). However, if you do add one to the transmission, then you are not going to be able to change the filter, unless you remove the pan. On the differential, you can add a drain plug. Drill a hole and bolt in the plug...- David13
