What did you do to your jeep today?
Nice, @derekj. I am curious, how did you get the inner tie rods off? I have not been able to budge mine and am about to have a shop do it for me. Those Moog boxes looked familiar.- lfhoward

OEM muffler
Impressed the original muffler is still on it at this point, especially since you’re from Michigan! LOL Winter salt destroyed mine back In 2017 and I’m on muffler #3. 218k on the clock now.- lfhoward

2004 KJ 3.7 into 2011 KK
The 08-10 isn’t swappable with the 11-12 KK so I doubt an 04 would be. Sorry. That’s why you can get a Hypertech Max Energy tuner for the 10 and below but not the 11 or 12 model year, even though the engine is the same. Different software programming.- lfhoward

Strut Top Plates
Sorry, I meant use them above the stock top plate to add 1/2” of lift.- lfhoward

Strut Top Plates
Instead of extra isolators, you could get metal top plate spacers like these: https://athfab.com/product/kk-kj-top-plate-spacers/- lfhoward

Seeking a 2012 Liberty
Avoid the Sky Slider at all costs. It is unreliable and unfixable. The 08 KK was the only one with a manual transmission, if you want one. Make sure the heat works on all settings (floor, face, defrost). The air distribution box behind the dash breaks and will need replacing if the modes...- lfhoward

Jeep Liberty Overheat issue
Could there be air in the line preventing your coolant from circulating effectively? Clearly it goes to the heater core and back, but the radiator? Do the radiator hoses get hot?- lfhoward

You didn’t mention replacing the thermostat? It may be malfunctioning or installed the wrong way around.- lfhoward

Door Lock Actuator ?
I got a door lock actuator from www.car-part.com. Junkyard database. A low mileage Mopar will outlast a new aftermarket unit.- lfhoward

What did you do to your jeep today?
Replying to myself, LOL This is in case anyone else with a JBA adjust a strut lift is tearing their hair out because they greased, tightened, greased, and couldn’t make a squeaking and creaking noise go away. The upper and lower ball joints were never the issue. I systematically eliminated...- lfhoward

No start on Laredo 3.7
I think the culture tries to teach us to dump a vehicle when any engine or transmission issues pop up, because it is “more than the vehicle is worth.” But $1500 to fix a head gasket is still much less than a car loan to buy a different vehicle. Consider repairing the head gasket and driving your...- lfhoward

Deeke's upper control arms?
I know JBA upper control arms are more expensive but they are the real deal. I had a 12 year old one crack and JBA overnighted me a brand new set, with bushings, ball joints, and all. Couldn’t be happier. Their build quality, prompt customer service, and lifetime warranty more than justify the...- lfhoward

Possessed 08 Kk
Shoot. Maybe the wiring on the TCM side is loose or pinched? I don’t know what the TCM looks like, so I got out my parts manual. It is #2 in this schematic. I wouldn’t put much stock in the TCM location on the schematic since the TIPM is drawn on the wrong side, LOL.- lfhoward
