idle and stall by bored

Well it is a 3.7L 90º engine. It's not the smoothest engine in the world. The balance shafts that the engine has helps, but doesn't eliminate all of the shakes. If it was a 60º engine, it would balance itself, making it MUCH smoother.
 
I feel the stall was a different issue altogether... and the idle is normal. It's one of the first things I discovered about my Liberty. My passenger seat would visibly shake while idling...

My rear rattling problem sounds very similar to yours. Did you ever figure out what was causing the rattle?

Selec-Trac: 6spd Manual vs. 4spd Auto by ajchrist
Dec 26, 2007 (9:51 am)

From what I've read in this forum; Selec-Trac is preferred. I will be driving this vehicle over snow/ice in mountainous terrain. Based upon my experience, a manual trans is more preferable in winter driving for regaining control in skids and downshifting during deceleration. Is there a difference in how Selec-Trac functions when configured with the six-speed manual verses the four-speed auto? I thank you in advance for your reply.

Select-Trac is only available with automatic as far as I know.

2006 6spd Manual question by ajchrist

Jayrider, thank you for answering my first question.
 
I'm looking at three 2006 models; two are 6spd manuals and one is a 4spd auto. The 4spd auto shows a "lever" on the center console with position markings for 2W, 4W, N, and 4L.
A Renegade, a 6spd manual, also shows an identical lever on its center console. The other 6spd manual is a Sport, but it has a large "slide-type" switch next to the shifter, with no markings (unless they're worn off). I assume both 6spd manuals are Command-Trac, so why the difference? I thank you in advance for your answer.

I'm a bit confused by your question but having said that offer the folowing for you to consider. Unless you plan to do a lot of rugged off road driving with your jeep, get the automatic with selec-trak. The part time usage that the command trac offers makes it limited in application to very slick, low traction conditions. You may need to switch in and out of 4-wheel drive because if the road dries up and you need to turn your wheels will bind up. With the full time option on the selec-trac, you can set it and forget it. There are those who swear by the old school part time system and I suppose if you have good skill in using it you can manage fine. But if you want a system that is very effective,easy to use and with wide application then go with the auto/selectrac.

My son wants a Renegade. I am looking at a 2005 model. Anyone have any thoughts on how reliable this car is? Anything to look-out for before I buy it? Any maintenance issues?
