    Lift OR LSD

    I will be doing the same as you. In my own head, I want to make the powertrain stronger before I add larger tires and a lift, which changes the geometry of the vehicle and the torque required to push the bigger tires. May want to look into changing gear ratio to match the new tired, so it will...

    High power reverse lights

    Ordered a set for mine this morning. Hopefully my Liberty will be home before they get here. I can hardly wait!

    New Libby owner with a question

    I see no one ever responded to your question. I found it today, so I will answer you to the best of my knowledge. I recently got my Libby and had a similar issue to yours, except mine wouldn't go into 2WD from Full Time. There was a recall on the trans computer, and I took it to the dealer and...

    Low speed rumbling noise

    Answer to both of your questions are the same. Open it up and inspect them. The wheel hub should have no in out movement. The U-joint may have worn needle bearings, or even be rusted inside, which will cause a vibration. May still be tight, or even too tight, because the rust fills up the area...

    '02 Liberty vs '06 Ford Explorer

    The longer wheelbase of the Explorer should help its flexability, but I believe that if they both had the same wheelbase, the Jeep would really shine. The body on frame of the Explorer has a lot to do with it, but I think the biggest thing that affects it, is the design of the suspension.

    First project this weekend!!!

    Lol, I never even thought of that. Especially since the odometer settings are stored in the ECU. I'll check it out at the dealer tomorrow morning. The availability of the lights that is.

    First project this weekend!!!

    I am being positive when I say that. I am scheduled to get the Jeep back Friday, and if I do get it, I have a project to complete on it this weekend. There are some lights in the dash that are out. They are behind the speedo and the tach. Is there an easy way to get into the dash to get to...

    '02 Liberty vs '06 Ford Explorer

    Based on this, and a really good point you made, I might add! Then the explorer and the Jeep should do better than both the Toy and the Chevy, due to even weight distribution. The lighter and shorter wheel base of the Jeep will make it even more nimble than the Ford. Is that what you are saying...

    '02 Liberty vs '06 Ford Explorer

    Really??? I thought the SRA had to have leaf suspension. I have A arms all around. Am I just stupid? LOL I can't go out and look at it. Anyway, in that respect... Having A arms all around, not just in front like the Toy and Suburban, which had leaf rear suspension. I will tell you this. I did...

    '02 Liberty vs '06 Ford Explorer

    Looks like I am getting the Libby back Friday, so I'll be able to test it this weekend. I am just wondering if it will be as nimble, due to similar 4 wheel independent suspension of the two, especially when compared to the two older trucks I mentioned with the 2 solid axles. The Suburban only...

    '02 Liberty vs '06 Ford Explorer

    The Explorer has exact same tire size as the Liberty. 235/70 16s the tires are pressured at 35 as recommended by the door panel, and they are BF Goodrich all terrain T/As about 1/16th to 1/8th inch worn off. Pretty new, in other words. The Liberty has same size and similar pressure, but...

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    Just now received a call from the Chrysler dealer. He said the part is supposed to be here tomorrow and they are shooting to have it finished by end of day Friday! I pray they are successful! :hail::hail::hail:

    '02 Liberty vs '06 Ford Explorer

    I know there are some comparisons out there but not for this particular combination, or for what I am about to ask specifically. As you may already know, I recently bought a new to me '02 Liberty. I only had it a short time and the engine blew and it is still in the shop, so I haven't been able...

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    Well, according to the Chrysler dealer on Monday, you would have been correct, until they opened the box with the replacement head in it and found it was for the passenger side (cyl 2, 4, & 6), not the driver's side (Cyl 1, 3, & 5). I found out yesterday, they didn't even call me to let me know...

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    The last time I didn't think you were right because I was optimistic that it would be finished sooner than you thought. This time I don't think you are right because I am pessimistic that it won't be done that quickly! LOL It will be 2 months on the 10th. I know one thing for sure, I have a...

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    I am hoping that at least something good comes from my experience here. At least future readers can learn from this and maybe miss some of the pitfalls I have fallen in. Berma Shave!

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    Thanks Cherrie! I'm sad too. It is coming up on 2 months without my Libby and I miss it. CJ, Yes it does! Couldn't have said it better myself.

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    Well, Chrysler has the intake off and found oil in the cylinder and intake valve. Looks like it is a bad valve guide or possibly ring alignment. They are working with the warranty department to decide how to proceed. This is a timely process. Anyway, at least we were all correct that it came...

    Anyone use these guys for replacement engines?

    Yeah they are Platinum plugs, not copper. Are they no good, or are they good? Why don't the Jeep like them? I have run them in every other vehicle I've owned with no problems.
