Mine hit 283k and the engine has just about had it. I think i blew the head gasket as its leaking coolant and blowing white smoke out of the exhaust. Probably going to look into swapping the 4.7 with the 45 or 454 transmission.

I have an 06 Liberty with 175,000 miles, driveline is great. This weekend I'm picking up an 03 for $200 (!) that has around 250,000 miles. All I know is that is runs and has been regularly driven lately, so there must not be any catastrophic problems. As far as engine & transmission, how long could these reasonably last? I can deal with anything else, but I don't want to R&R an engine on a 250K mile Liberty.

As a follow-up, I also had an 02 with 220,000 miles. That ran good also, but needed a coil pack, O2 sensors, and exhaust right before we traded it in on my wife's new KL.

I hate all you guys getting deals on used ones. I can't find anything around here for less than $1500_

2005 liberty 4x4 brought it in October 161,000 miles on just change the starter

 

[PsychoT23]

2002 3.7 bought for $1400. 255000 miles. Just a rebuilt transmission and possibly a leaking ps pump

 

[brendag]

We have an 03 with 234k and an 04 with 238k. We are second owners on both.

 

[LONGJEEPOWNER]

140,000 miles on my 2010 Liberty. Replaced the serpentine belt, struts, idler pulley, water pump, rear shocks, lower rear control arms, coils, plugs and torque converter.

 

[USS_Pullout]

2003 3.7 150k miles. Sole owner.

Replaced Radiator, power steering reservoir, brake rotors w/ 2 calipers.

Needs: Front struts, rear shocks. Many cosmetics. Possibly engine mount..? Muffler. Probably time to put a new belt on her.

Runs well. Burns some oil, about a quart per 5k miles.

Thoughts?

 

[Brendon Holt]

A new-to-me 02 Sport 4x4 w/ 150k does have a transmission with around 100k miles in it, still runs smooth and strong.

In the two months that I've had it I've done spark plugs, cleaned the throttle body and idle control valve, replaced PCV, air filter, flushed the PS system.

Have a new cam position sensor coming to fix the old leaking one that's dribbling oil down the passenger side of the engine. Wanna replace the beat looking exhaust. Need to change diff and transfer case fluids. Need to chase down some rear suspension noise. OME lift in the future. And a few other little things.

So far really enjoying it!

 

[Phuc Nguyen]

2004 3.7L 124K miles, second owner at 100K miles.

Replaced radiator, water pump and torque converter.


2005 3.7L 210K miles, second owner at 65K miles.

Replaced alternator, radiator, radiator fan clutch, water pump, steering pump hoses and self rebuilt power steering pump.

Both are running great with regular schedule maintenance.


***Want to share with all members.

Bought a bluetooth FM transmitter, Nulaxy NX09, from eBay for $15, it has a built in voltage reader. Plug it in before starting the engine, it will tell you your car battery voltage, unplug it and plug back in after starting, it will tell you current charging voltage. That way you know your car battery and charging system is working properly.

Got a 2004 with 248,000. 2nd owner. Picked it up 5 years ago with 163,000. New coil packs and 2o2 sensors then. At 2004 new water pump and timing chain but most likely it was the radiator, shocks and struts at. 230k heater core, a compressor, last valve cover gaskets. Runs nice. Work horse, looks nice, runs well on the beac.

[mwne2nks]

Just rolled over 185,000 on my 2007 Jeep liberty Finished spraying new undercoating underneath and I am trying to trace down a weird clunk coming from the back passenger side. I am on a 3" lift all the way around ( yes it rubs a little in the front.

 

[MarksmanAkula]

Got an 07' with 184,000 now. As far as i know all original drive train. Car came with no records or manual though.

 

[Leeann]

It's a Jeep, not a car.

And the manual is in a super-secret hole at the very top of the glovebox. No one ever finds it on their own.

One of mine, ( the 04 ) I bought new, 235,000 miles on it
upgraded suspension before 20,000 miles
worst parts on a KJ is the suspension , springs and shocks are total junk from the factory
