    Have CRD, will sell.

    My beloved 2005 Liberty is for sale. It has some noise in the engine but runs and drives well. Dealer warned me there is noise from the rod bearings. Negative aspects would be rust on lower part of driver side doors. The vehicle was treated to ziebart when new and had all the follow up...

    3.7 powerband.

    Thanks, but have you noticed the power surge at 3K? And it seems to accelerate at 1/3 throttle as it does at full throttle. I knew it would not be a hot rod, I needed 4x4, able to pull heavy trailer, at a reasonable price and that little girl fit the bill.

    3.7 powerband.

    I bought a really clean 2012 Liberty back in May. I was not real happy with the initial acceleration since first gear is much taller than I would have wanted. However I do now notice if I give it about 1/3 of the gas pedal and hold it steady, when it reaches 3K rpm, there is a surge almost like...

    New to the 3.7 Jeep life

    The 3.7 does not make the low end torque of the venerable 4.0 so I'm sure you are missing that. My 2012 with the 3.7 does not seem to have good torque below 3,000 RPM. Right at 3K it feels like a turbo kicked in. Plus, the gearing is quite high I suppose to get some gas mileage but first gear...

    2012 Jeep Liberty w/ Very Little HVAC Heat

    I had mine at the dealer for A/C not staying cold. The diagnostic test did NOT find the problem. Not sure how they pinned it down. They decided it needs the module with the control knobs. He warned me it would have issues with heat in winter. There is a door that controls the temperature and if...

    Fumes in the cab

    I learned my EGR was leaking fumes one day when it was very cold. I noticed smoke coming from under the hood and figured out it was the EGR leaking fumes. Keep the heating system on recirc. It will draw a lot less fumes that way.

    best 2.8 CRD mods???

    My 2005 Liberty CRD now has 275,000 miles on it. Still has the factory lift pump, turbo, injectors, glow plugs. I replaced some hoses that looked weather checked. I buy biodiesel when I can which is about 85% of the time. I'm certain it has provided lubrication protection for all the parts. I...

    Driver’s side running lights not working on 07 KJ keep blowing fuse where to find the short?

    IF you have a trailer tow set up, check that first. If there is corrosion or debri there it could be causing a short. If that doesn't fix it, pull the bulbs out and examine them. I had one go bad and short out the fuse. Hope that does it. If not, you will be digging into chassis wiring.

    HOW TO: Liberty CRD 2.8L Fuel Filter Pics & Changing Ins

    This is a really old post but I'll share anyway. I change my fuel filter from the top. I remove the wire crack the filter loose while still attached to the firewall. I use wrench with a rubber strap. Need to at least loosen that before removing the housing. Then I remove the bolts that fasten...

    Anyone know the thermostat sensor hack?

    I have read from others, that is not a good repair. I'm assuming this is for the CRD engine since the 3.7 uses a standard housing. There is a guy who fabricates a replacement housing that will fit and accept a standard thermostat. If you can find him on one of these Jeep sites that will cost...
