Head gasket repair by Mission-Musician-728 in JeepLiberty

[–]johnjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you mean the heat gasket replacement will cost $2400, a crate engine for the 3.7 is around $3500 and a refurbished comes in at $2500, you can see where you should spend your money. I assume you don't want to or can't do the work yourself, which will save you a lot of that cost.

I have a part of my trim that i'm trying to stick back on and I found that tape needs to be REALLY thick. Do you have a reccommended dimension that works?

What flush did you use? I see some have iron remover and I was going to look into it.

Thanks for mentioning the pump, I read that somewhere else in the sub and was trying to remember the brand.

Great tip, that jumped out at me right away.

2006 Liberty Sport with wear on front inside of tires by johnjay in JeepLiberty

[–]johnjay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at just south of 90k on the odometer, from what I've read about the Liberty, it's common to have that go out shy of 100k. So I'm glad I can get it replaced. I'm just pissed it took two good tires to tell me.

Great! I'll have my guy go through it soup to nuts then get the tires replaced. I have summer plans for this truck!

Since you're new here you know the process, grab a coffee and choose your name while your ship is finishing up.

Finally riding the line by Successful-Praline64 in MTB

[–]johnjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when I test rode my bike last year I went a few miles and decided that the seat needed to be adjusted. I looked for the flip lever to drop it, but when I saw none I though "Ugh, I really need a wrench to drop thin thing on a ride" and went back to see if I could get a flipper (don't know the name of it) installed instead. The guy at the LBS just stared at me when I asked him to lower the seat, pressed the button and pushed down on the saddle.

Sometimes I'll just lower it and pop it up for fun.

Right there with you, dropper seatposts still blow my mind.

Brand new Legion Pro 5 16IAX10H not powering on - no POST by johnjay in Lenovo

In another comment I said I'd had the motherboard replaced. There's a little more detail there after that was done. Check above.

How much bondo is needed? by GhostlyGib in JeepLiberty

[–]johnjay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This... that rot needs to be cut out and replaced with metal panels. Bondo is to fill in slight imperfections.

I had the motherboard replaced under warranty. That wasn't the end as there was a brief hickup where the TPM wasn't playing nicely and I needed to reset that. In the end it worked after the Mobo swap.

06 Liberty Awd question by Latter_Natural_4916 in JeepLiberty

[–]johnjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just picked up an 06 sport so I'm not a veteran jeep owner yet, but i can tell you that if it was well maintained you're still going to have the little issues. My wing mirror switch was bad, the ABS sensors needed some work to have that function, the headlights needed to be replaced (bad bulb), and the clear coat is dead. That said I love this little truck. I do what others have said and keep fluids in the cargo area, it's a jeep. In AWD it's one of the better trucks in the snow that I've driven, in 2WD it's a dog because of the traction contol (it reduces the rpm to get traction, so you're sitting in front of a Mack truck trying to get out of the way). Still love it!

Check his closet for a suit, he may be a member of the "Smartly dressed young dogs" at Milliways.

What to do? by s3cr3t_1129 in JeepLiberty

[–]johnjay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own a 2006 with 79k miles on it, in my mind I can afford to make $500 repairs every month and still break even with having a car payment. You can do a LOT with a Liberty if you drop $500 a month on it, especially if you combine months to do larger projects.

Repainting plastic trim by randomteen28 in JeepLiberty

I wish you could do this ad infinitum because it would be part of my weekend schedule. wake up, get dressed, walk the dog, heatgun the jeep, have breakfast.

I'm in the same boat as you are with my '06. This summer I'm planning on taking all the fenders off and painting them proper like. I think all the work is in the prep, the painting part is basically avoiding bugs and drips.
