What did you do to your jeep today?
Tried to stop the annoying rattle from under the hood on the drivers side of my 2002. It sounds like thin metal or plastic slapping or knocking into each other. At first, I was afraid that it was a valve clatter, but then I realized it wasn't directly related to the engine RPMs, but rather...- joshcsmith13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Replaced multifunction turn-signal switch, only to discover that the blinker still performs intermittently (when it feels like it). :(- joshcsmith13

Yet another Engine Swap
I am wishing you the best! I just got my engine replaced with a rebuilt one, done by a retired mechanic who works solely on Liberties/KJs for a hobby. It looks amazing and is really running great, but did spring a small oil leak that I haven't been able to locate. It's not an alarming amount...- joshcsmith13

Engines4Less
By chance, has anybody done business with FLEngines4Less.com? They are offering a rebuilt 3.7L, with 12 mo. parts warranty, for $2,049. That seems really low, compared to the competition. Sadly, my 2002 just bent a rod or something. Mechanic says he went to pull it into the shop and it made a...- joshcsmith13

Camshaft Position Sensor
Love it! Thanks DBJ. I'm wondering if there's something similar, but much less severe, going on with my son's '02. It burns a bit of oil, but generally runs pretty well. However, once you get above 3000 RPM, you can hear some clattering in the engine. I'm in no position to do an engine...- joshcsmith13

Coolant leak?
Sorry for the dumb question, but did you have to replace the water pump? @Will_K ? @Will_K My son's 02 liberty was running fine, burning a little oil, but no leaks, and then one day there was a large spot of antifreeze on the driveway. He came home the other day and said it smelled like a...- joshcsmith13

Need new window regulators
If it's "just" a cracked plastic bracket, consider replacing it with a metal one. The original version can be purchased from Steiger Performance (http://www.steigerperformance.com/products/products_jeep.html). Mine had a knock-off imitation that I had to re-rivet after a while, but the...- joshcsmith13

2002 jeep liberty 3.7 limited burning oil
My 02 is doing the same thing, but there is definitely some white/blue smoke while it's warming up. No leaks underneath though. I'm pretty sure a crank seal is a "big" job for a casual DIY-er like myself, but correct me if I'm wrong. What about valve cover gaskets? Is that a reasonable...- joshcsmith13
