I didn't mention that this screw looks like a special made set screw. It tapers down at the tip to a smaller cylindrical shape. I'm familiar with most standard looking set screws & this one was not your run-of-the-mill piece.

A couple of years ago my 2006 liberty ignition lock system started locking up on me where it wouldn't release the ignition key when the engine was turned off. I found out that it was the integrated cable system that is released by a console solenoid that was the culprit. Prior to realizing...

My Liberty is 10 years old now with just under 80k miles on it & the a/c doesn't cool as efficiently as it once did. I'm inclined to service it myself instead of taking it in to a shop & was considering doing it with one of the latest crop of new refrigerant charging cans that you can buy at...

Turned out it wasn't the ball joints or the sway bar links. I tried to diagnose the front end problem myself by jacking up the vehicle but my floor jack wouldn't hold pressure (Harbor Freight) so I took it into a local tire shop & they checked it out for $15. They said it was the bushings on...

Thanks, I'll check them too, but I'm thinking it's the right side ball joint because I get a series of 'pops' & 'bumping' sounds from that side of the vehicle when I make a tight left turn.

Will do B_H. Thanks for the tip.

My 2006 Liberty V6, auto transmission with 70k miles has the 'part time' light on the instrument panel lit when in 2WD mode. I removed the center console a few days ago & ever since then it has been giving that display. The 4WD lever is pushed all the way down to the 2WD position, but the...

Thanks for the lead BH. I'm betting you're probably right.

Have a 2006 Liberty Sport 6cyl/auto with ~70k miles on it. Lately, when I back out of my driveway I get a light popping sound coming from the right front wheel area. Don't ever hear the sound, or feel the pop, when moving forward though. I'm hoping it's not a faulty strut but that's what it...

Greetings everyone, Finally in the process of changing the spark plugs on my 2006 Sport Liberty with a 3.7L gas engine. The manual says to change them every 30,000 miles but I've waited & now have almost 68,000 miles. I went to auto parts store & picked the Champion 3344 platinum plugs for it...

Got a stuck key in the ignition of my 2006 Liberty Sport. Is there a quick fix to get it to release or is this something that the dealer is going to have to do? It's not stuck in the hole itself, it just won't rotate to the full unlock position so that I can remove it.

Funny thing happened to me this morning. I went into the garage all prepared to install an O'Reilly after-market (Hayden) auto-trans oil cooler & found one already there. It's a factory installed one. When I was at the dealer last week getting my Jeep serviced I gave the parts guy the VIN# to...

That's good to know superj. I don't much like the idea of having to leave the transmission in o/d lockout, but if that keeps it from burning up then so be it. Looks like a 500-700 rpm difference between the two. Gas consumption probably goes up too. Did your mileage suffer much by locking...

I was checking under the hood & noticed that the transmission line is routed into & out of the bottom of the radiator already. Is that just a simple cooling feature that all vehicles now have? If so, would that be adequate cooling for trailer pulling or is it just the bare minimum for pulling...

Thanks for the information. I believe the static weight of the trailer is just under 1000# & I don't expect the contents to be over 500# so I'll be well within the 2000# limit without the tow package. Also, I will be looking into getting a cooler for the transmission. I was previously...

Hello everyone. I have a 2006 Liberty 3.7L/auto tran/4 whl dr with just over 60k miles on it. I plan on towing a 5x8 uhaul trailer, in about a week, from central Calif. to west Texas, which will be about 1100 miles. I suspect I'll be adding about 300-400 lbs to the empty weight of the...

Hello, I have a 2006 Liberty V6 & have heard that the fuel filter is mounted internally in the fuel tank. I assume that because of this, it is designed to last longer & does not have to be changed as often as vehicles with filters on the outside. That said, how often is it recommended that it...

The light went out by itself the other day (assuming it's not burned out) during a short 40 mile highway trip. I've taken this trip several times since the light first came on and it didn't affect the light. I still think I have a vacuum leak in that area because even on the slightest slope I'll...

I'll post an update as soon as I take the time to crawl underneath the vehicle and snoop around the canister area looking for leaking hoses and such. I'll let you all know what, if anything, I find.

Thanks for the help and information fellas. This really helps as this is probably where the leak is. :-) Oh! I almost forgot to thank SteelHeadz for the pictorals, especially the spark plug information.
