Speaking of looking good, it annoys me that they made it so the writing couldnt be read once the a arm is installed. Why wouldnt they want you to be able to read it while you were laying under there?
Couldn't wait any longer, I bought the 979AA. Of all places, summit had it the cheapest after shipping n such... If it doesn't fit, well, I'll have a $150 box that I'll put in the storage building.
I have it... Seems to be working good.
I have had the big nut come loose once but I assume its b/c I dont have a wrench that big and used a pipe wrench to tighten it.
I too have installed the PML pan and it does keep the trans a good bit cooler (I have a trans temp gauge). Plus, it seemed like the stock stamped pan was always leaking, I even bought a new dorman pan and torque to the FSM specs, still seeped fluid. the PML pan is nice and dry.
That is the...
The limiting factor on the 5 speeds is the clutch. You can add all the engine cooling you want, but thats why they got the 3500lb limit.
All other KJ's with the 3.7 and the towing package were 5,000lbs.
I personally don't like towing more than ~3,500lbs with my liberty. The 3.7 (even with...
The 05+ libertys had covers over them, might could use those. Gotta wonder if Jeep decided to cover up the rockers instead of figuring out why they rusted. Its not normal for rockers to rust out so quickly.
I would suggest thoroughly coating the inside of the rockers yearly with fluid film or...
Thats what mine looks like, and looks smaller than the photos I can find online of the 979AA... I may buy one and see what its all about.
Cant believe I had never read about this before. So the new mopar cooler bolted right in place? Lines hooked right up?
The sensor is not for the 4wd. The 4wd on the KJ's is strictly mechanical and is only operated by the 4wd handle.
The sensor will tell the PCM to raise the RPMS for low speed steering if the pressure drops too low (I think).
Pretty sure the original arms have TRW stamped on them. They should have a bit of resistance, not be floppy. Its possible they have inwards and outwards play but you are not pulling/pushing hard enough to feel it. I always use a pry bar wedged back in the coil spring to push up and down on the...
Pop the cover off of the fuse box on the left end of the dash and make sure its not wet. The BCM is also in there and if the door seal leaks, then this sortve stuff happens.
Yeah, unfortunately mopar things are already getting tough to find for the KJ.
Mine did not come with the clutched fan but I've added it. It only came with the offroad/towing package and my liberty doesnt have that. Do you know the part number for the cooler that you bought? Ive found 5191979AA...
Thats interesting. If thats the case, that would mean the Libertys with and without the towing package have a different transmission cooler. Ive never encountered that.
Liberty's came with the AA version till they decided to cheap out and go with the AB version. No idea when they made the switch, but I know my 04 has the AA version.
Im not sure if you can simply switch out the AB for the AA version. I would personally much rather have the bearing.
