Replying to: storageguy (Jan 13, 2009 3:58 am) - my alternator (built-in voltage rectifier) had gone bad - my belt was not in the proper position Assuming your serpentine belt is installed properly, I would do the "alternator field check" first: - stop the engine and disconnect the little connector behind the alternator. It's shaped like a "D" and needs to be pinched to be removed. There are two side clips molded into the connector. Turn the engine on again and listen. My belt was in a wrong position after it was replaced. My alternator died after the belt was replaced. Is this pure coincidence? I don't know. |

Replying to: drudgery (Jan 12, 2009 3:09 pm) I did just have my #2 glowplug replaced (the tip was broken off). That seemed to solve the problem of the engine producing white smoke from the exhaust in the morning. Also, I had the Boost Solenoid Filter (a.k.a. lawnmower filter) replaced at the same time. After these two fixes, my check engine light that had been on constantly for 1 year (dealer check codes, cleared codes, codes popped up affter a few days of driving.) finally went out by itself. It came back on again a few days later ( I am guessing because of the loss of power issue: driving 73mph, then Jeep drops power and speed down to 65mph with no apparent cause). But unlike the other times the CEL would go off by itself -- the Jeep was doing great in terms of performance when the CEL went off. It seems as if I have more problems with this on cold days or when there is a strong cross wind cutting across the front of the Jeep. I ma thinking it has something to do with the EGR / Mass Air Flow Control Valve / or MAF sensor. Anybody have any insight? Should I just disconnect the EGR? I tried disconnecting the MAF sensor, but it seemed as if the Jeep ran worst after I did that. Joe (joe_kelley  stotlerllc.com)

Replying to: Eastcoastz (Jan 16, 2009 8:17 am) Your timing belts should be changed at 100,000 miles; ours at 60,000! The problem is: the vehicle is the same  When all these 'worst case conditions' are put together, the vehicle becomes excessively expensive and Jeep sales suffer from such policy.

Replying to: caribou1 (Jan 17, 2009 1:11 am) I was also told that no one in the USA could qualify for schedule "A" . So why put in a schedule "A" and just have a schedule "B" only? Is Jeep still offering the V. M. Motori engine there? I have read nothing about a diesel Liberty returning here. Jeep does not even have the 4.L V-6 offered in the Nitro. We have the 4.L engine in our Pacifica, and it is a fast powerful engine, worlds ahead of the 3.7 L the Jeep Liberty's only engine on this side of the swamp. Are the Liberty's there with the CRD still a good respectable engine? farout
