    starter replacement in remote location

    I'm glad it worked out well for you! May I ask what battery the Jeep has (had) in it? How old the battery is (was)? Thanks, Mike

    Standard flooded or AGM?

    I checked the voltage at the battery terminals with the engine running. As you mentioned, there was a lot of fluttering. The lowest number I saw was 14.60VDC. The fluttering stayed in the 14.6 range, often a little higher than 14.6, I think the highest I saw was 14.65. I mentioned that I...

    Standard flooded or AGM?

    Thanks KJowner. I'll give it a try. I'm guessing that when I use the Fluke it's with the engine running. I think I've decided to get an Optima RedTop. What do you mean by: "as the ECU runs as an AVR on our setup."? I see you have a CRD, mine is a 3.7 gas.

    Standard flooded or AGM?

    How do I check this? You mention a voltmeter. I have a Fluke77 multimeter. Will that work?

    Standard flooded or AGM?

    Thanks to all. Lots of info to study. Thankfully it's not a need one now situation, I'm just planning ahead. My other car is a 2021 Ford Escape with the original (AGM) battery, it needs replaced soon. If I replace the Liberty battery first, mayhaps I won't be buying two batteries at once...

    Standard flooded or AGM?

    It seems that the product Luke mentioned is only for toyotas. I did a quick search for a similar product made for Jeeps. To be honest, most of what I read was way over my head. I did find an interesting comment on a Jeep Cherokee Club page, "One thing we can rely on is that AGMs sold for...

    Standard flooded or AGM?

    I'm not sure what all this means, Luke. You say they like to receive more volts. Does this mean that if I switch to AGM I'll also need to change the alternator? I have a Noco Genius 5 tha I use regularly. If I change to AGM will I want to use it from day one?

    Standard flooded or AGM?

    2007 Liberty, a little less than 73000 miles. 3.7, auto. Currently has a 6 year old Super Start Extreme (part no. 34EXTJ) standard flooded battery. No obvious battery issues, I want to replace the battery because of it's age. This is my wife's car, it's driven less than 1500 miles a year...

    Cleaning the Throttle Body: 2002-2004 KJ 3.7L, symptoms initial stall, weird shifting, harsh WOT

    Thanks again dtennes. It's not garage kept, but it does live in a carport attached to the house. Out of the weather. I do put a battery maintainer on it at least once a week, overnight or longer. Sometimes 2 or 3 times a week. It's my wifes favorite car, but she doesn't drive much. Our other car...

    Cleaning the Throttle Body: 2002-2004 KJ 3.7L, symptoms initial stall, weird shifting, harsh WOT

    Thanks dtennes. My 07 Liberty (73,000 miles) isn't experiencing any of the symptoms you listed (1. Tendency to stall when stepping on the gas (especially from a cold start), while the car is in gear and idling, 2. Gagging acceleration (until engine gets to running temp), 3. Fluttering gear...

    Blackstone report

    Thanks KJowner, which lab do y'all use at work? It might not matter, since I'm thinking that using the same lab for subsequent tests is kinda important. I don't have a form in front of me right now, but if I remember correct, Blackstone did ask what brand and grade of oil was sampled. Thanks...

    Blackstone report

    Thanks JibeHo22. I kinda wondered how much of the results were the oil itself! I've already decided to have the oil analyzed with the next oil change. I agree, not much value in a single test. Of course, it'll depend on how much they charge for a test two years from now. The next oil change will...

    Blackstone report

    Thanks JeepJeepster. I'll be sure to check the air filter. I kinda remember putting in a new one recently, mayhaps I didn't close things up right.

    '07 Liberty Sport, +/- 72,000 miles. Changed the oil 5-27-24, 71,665 miles. Pevious oil change was 12-3-22, 69,615 miles. Sent a sample to Blackstone. Got the report from them Tuesday (6-25, attached). All in all I think it's a good report, based on their comments. There are three items that are...

    Fuel filter in 2004 jeep liberty HELP PLEASE!!!!

    I have an '07, 72,000 miles. If these are a substitute for a fuel filter they seem to be much easier to replace than getting to the pump in the tank. Cheap, too! Where did you find them? I'm gonna guess that the injectors are much easier to get to. I'll be watching for an answer to your question!
