Replying to: nescosmo (Jan 16, 2007 5:13 pm) I can't say with certianty about fuel mileage, as we have not even used a tank full yet. It may be a little less or the same, I just don't know yet. However, the shifts are more noticeable and firmer to feel. This is not bad as the soft smooth shift actually wares down the clutches, as the tec told me. One other thought is the winter fuel does not give as good of mpg, so some way this too has to be entered in to the fuel mileage. Frankly i I think the F37 is a lot about not too much. I see it that we have a new torque converter, and my case it's after putting on 27,500 miles on the old one. What kind and weight oil are you using? I went back to Mobile 1 5-40w after 8,000 miles on Shell Rotella 5-40w. That oil seemed to me to become sorts sluggy on the dip stick and the engine seemed more noisy. Besides the Rotella synthetic is not being repoduced. Farout

Replying to: farout (Jan 17, 2007 2:02 pm)  But I wish more people could bring this to public attention. I have the feeling there is a bug in the logic of the ABS system. When we have the brake peddle pressed the transmission should never re engage. But who should hear this? From my side of the pond I'm just another "Don Quichotte"

Replying to: caribou1 (Jan 18, 2007 12:06 am) The Liberty she drives is a 2006 Sport gas. The Liberty does have the EST and brake assist, and anti roll over stuff. With all that added heck, do we need a driver? I was able to pull the 3 inches of ice off the hood, but the windshield has some long line cracks. When I can get out of here I will get the glass replace. The "Green Beast" starts right up and no smoke and using no block heater. Thanks again. Any other ideas to help in case of.....? Farout

| Today is day 22. My 06 liberty diesel has been in the shop for 22 days, under 5000km on the thing! I was driving one day when all the warning lights on the dash started coming on. I pulled over and turned the jeep off. It hasn't started since. First they thought it was the alternator, then a module for the alternator(???). They have "narrowed" it down to a computer problem. The service department has contacted every technician in Canada for assistance, with no luck. They are now working their way through the U.S. Customer service for Chrysler Canada have been useless. They keep telling me they are doing everything they can. Unfortunately there are no lemon laws in Canada, so it seems like I am screwed. Keep asking if they are going to give me a new car and they keep telling me nothing like this has ever happened before. Anyone had similar experiences? | |

Replying to: farout (Jan 18, 2007 12:29 pm) - Cold ashes from a fireplace are supposed to be excellent for a tire to grip on ice. When you get stuck in an icy shallow pit that forms around your wheels by digging through snow or ice, there is usually no chance to pull out. Just sparkle a handful of ashes on the ice and around the tire. I've never tried this but I believe those who live in eagle nests

Replying to: caribou1 (Jan 19, 2007 1:05 am) I found out that the 2006 Liberty's have a service note on how to clean these dirt-magnet seat covers. Wash with warn water only power vac. Then let dry, and repeat the same except with cold water, vac, and let dry, and vac once more. DCX says this won't fail......I wouldn't bet the farm on it! Diesel is now $2.32 US here, and reg gas is $1.99, How much is the fuel there? Oh I read that the Jeep Commander's days are limited and no more in 2009. I feel sorry for those who bought this gas hog box on wheels. Farout

Replying to: farout (Jan 25, 2007 3:27 pm)  My BFG T/A tires have 38,000 miles and still give outstanding performance on crushed ice and snow. I was a bit doubtful entering the winter season due to the wear of their cutting edges: I was wrong. I use NAPA Windshield Winter Blades that I strongly recommend. They don't completely cover the passenger side because of their additional stiffness but ice is no problem because of the way they are built. I can only complain about the accumulation of snow that gets stuffed into the groove located on the left side of the windshield. Snow accumulated outside cools the glass and this catches humidity that reduces the driver's view. Good diesel fuel (Total Excellium) came down to 1.1 Euro per liter(~5.70USD/gal) and reg gas is practically the same price.
