Muffler Dripping water on Cold day
agree. condensation and time for a new cheap muffler if money and time allows. agree to monitor radiator fluid level for a few drives. open cap when cold. is exhause whitish once warm, or a cloud of white when starting and cold? let us rule out fluid leak and rule in condensation.- budget76

2007 Liberty won’t allow me to put in gear
I agree. sounds like clutch is not moving properly under foot pressure, so you cannot easily move shifter. Do not know age of vehicle, access details, but if this were my vehicle, I would never hesitate in changing the failure point be it slave cylinder or master, or if easier no fluid...- budget76

CEL - Cylinder Misfire
ONE: DO not change coolant. You do NOT have a coolant issue, so leave it alone for the time being. Fewer variables better. TWO: Yes, get a scanner to determine if dirty/fouled injector, or what. Rule out things. Yes I too have thrown cheap parts in, but they may be bad and you aggravate the...- budget76

CRD won’t start when cold.
If power/amps to glow plug is reduced for like bad old wires, you voltage when on will be low and amps low and heat low. You need test voltage at plug while working/engaged/activated. If voltage and amps are proper, then glow plugs are not the issue. I am assuming the plugs are ok for this comment.- budget76

New headlights?
OLD wires reduce voltage to the bulbs. Instead of 13.5-14.3 volts, if you measure bulb under load, you may get 11.x volts. This cuts output by 50%. Rewire the headlights to fuse, relay to battery directly. Cheap and easy for a fuse holder and really are < $10 and headlights are bright. You can...- budget76

Agree. If coolant old, flush properly, check heater core lines. HEAT ISSUE - I needed to reverse flush my daughters heater core twice as it got plugged up. Do this before adding new coolant.

Nephew bought a Liberty 2012 It won't charge
Clean every ground, and reinstall. This takes care of simple problems. Old cars develop crust on ground straps. Measure voltage out of alternator and compare to battery. if alt voltage not getting to battery, then I would suspect internally corroded wire. this is a real thing.- budget76

2005 Liberty Sport
Due to having 20 year old wires, I wonder what is the voltage at the bulb. Please measure if bulb voltage == battery voltage, or is there a drop. If the bulb voltage is lower, that helps explain poor lights and you should install a relay taking the power off the battery directly. Fuse this work...- budget76

clunking noise up front
It is best to have axel off ground just enough to get tires off then spin shaft and wheels. You feel and hear the slop better when wheels are not engaged to earth with a load. good luck.- budget76
