Hi Doug, depending on your parts house ( i.e Autozone , O’Rileys , Pep Boys ) They may have tool rentals available. Jeff

I have just removed the fan shroud on my Jeep liberty, and found that there wasn’t enough clearance to the mechanical fan to clear it, so I loosened the radiator mount bolts on the upper part of the radiator (acessable through the grille) to pull it forward and allow clearance.

My issue is I don’t want to buy a $50 tool to remove the mechanical fan one time… Any ideas?

Hi Jeff, I have a radiator leak. I just bought some “BAR’S LEAK” liquid aluminum radiator stop leak solution, and it say’s, TIP: “if direct access to radiator is not available, install in overflow tank”. Now the fluid tank is up in the left hand corner of the engin compartment. and I can’t seem to find an overflow tank anywhere in the manual or anywhere around the the radiator. Is there anything that you can help me with on this?

Thanks, Nate B.

Jeff,
Thanks for the video. The plastic tanks on my wife’s jeep are leaking and I’m going to have to pull it. Just a tip on the window regulators, there is a place (www.steigerperformance.com) that makes a replacement part of metal for the window regulators that lasts. I have had to do the replacement on both of the rear windows.

I have an 02 liberty that has been overheating -heating gauge goes sometimes to three quarters of the way once it gets up to operating temperature New thermostat and new antifreeze changed out
I also was told to see if I could compress the top hose coming out of the radiator once it was idling warm and I could completely compress it.
I have lost fluid periodically. Is it the water pump and or something else?

Hi Mike, yes the two could be connected.If the cooling system is not working properly due to low coolant and low pressure then as soon as you put a load on the engine ( i.e. the A/C system ) then your cooling system will not be able to effectively work properly. Also compounded by the additional BTUs of heat that are being released from the condense will also cause an overheating issue with a ineffective cooling system. Jeff

Jeff, I have a couple issues that maybe interrelated hopefully you can help tell me if they are. I have a Jeep Liberty 03 Renegade. I have an issue where I am losing antifreeze from my system, I have found a small leak i my radiator so I know I will have to replace it by the way mine is a belt drive fan, the other problem is the jeep over heats but it only seems to do it when the ac is running and we are doing alot of stop and go. So could the 2 issues be related or 2 separate issue. Just for a little background the water is 6 months old 2nd in 2 yrs and I just replaced the the thermostat. Any help would be great!
Thanks
Mike

Hi Trin, Yes I would any tome you breach a system. Its good insurance against leaks. Also when adding oil ( double end cap PAG ) put it in the inlet tube of the condenser. Jeff
