Appreciate the information.

My 2006 3.7L 4WD, 114k miles Jeep Liberty recently produced a OBD2 code of P0700 which says there may be a short in the TCM or it's damaged & must be replaced. My question is where is the TCM module? Is it integrated within the main ECM or is it mounted separate from it? If it's located...

Thanks for the reply JP. Been almost a year since my post and your reply and I'm still operating the right brake caliper without the rubber bushing. Also, I have since checked both sides of the front brakes (right and left wheel) and both seem to be doing well enough with no sign of problem...

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas to all. Did a front brake job on my 2006 Liberty, using semi-metallic pads, a few months ago & was very thorough about it by including cleaning the caliper slider pins & the holes at the same time. At that time, I didn't have any silicone lube for them so I...

Thanks for the advice gentlemen. Kind of figured the same thing but you hear all kinds of different recommendations nowadays on the web.

Got a 2006 Liberty 3.7L, 4WD with 108k miles on it and am getting what sounds like a noise from the smooth idler pulley on the belt tensioner (not the grooved pulley on the tensioner) when the revs get to 2000 rpm. It continues to about 2800 rpm then seems to quiet down a bit. I can rev the...

What your pic shows is probably the shift solenoid that goes on the transmission (from what I understand). The item I'm referring to is a cheap looking white plastic solenoid (they call a motor) that is mounted on the left side of the shifter module inside the console in the vehicle. From the...

Thought I'd give an update on my Liberty that was locked in park. After driving around town for about 5 weeks using a "L" shaped piece of round bar stock to shift the transmission by pulling & pushing on the cable that goes to the transmission (after popping the cable off the shifter console...

Thanks for the very detailed & ordered series of events of the problem you're having. I have no other suggestions other than to say I feel your pain. I have the exact same year & model of Liberty and, while I haven't had the extent of problems on my vapor system that you're having, I have had...

I changed the rotors and pads only & did not bleed the brakes, but what I did do is, like you mentioned, turn the wheel to the far left and far right for better access to the caliper and associated hardware for each wheel I was working on. I then returned the steering wheel to the center before...

Just did a front brake job on my 2006 V6 4WD Liberty (107k miles) by changing out the rotors as well as the pads. Got ready for a test drive and the thing won't release the transmission out of Park. Anyone have any insights as to why this may have happened? The brakes lights work when the...

Thanks. Appreciate the information.

Getting ready to change out the spark plugs on my 2006 Liberty 3.7L w/auto tranny & have a question about which type is the best. ALSO....would like to know if anyone can tell me what the spark plug oem information is on the data sticker under the hood. The rubber hood seal rides right on top...

Looks like I have a slight leak coming from what looks like the front crank seal on my 2006 3.7L Liberty with 100k+ miles on it. Not 100% sure that's where the leak is coming from but it is definitely motor oil & not tranny or PS pump fluid. Had my steering fluid flushed & replaced a few...

Thanks for the affirmation. I suspected the stuff was ok but getting the go ahead from others like you is great. Thanks again :beer:
