I still love this post! I printed spitfire360's post off with racertracer's reply and have them on the wall in my office next to the Hot Crazy Matrix. So may people still ask me where I got a Liberty Diesel. Like most now, I am over 200K miles and am facing head gasket problems and probably lifters too. I was pricing all that stuff out the other day and was getting sticker shock but then I looked at my wall again and Lol. It is so true. These little diesels have their claws in us and the Hot Crazy Matrix (if your jeep is a girl) tells us to run like hell in the opposite direction. Anyway I wanted to shout out to others and bump this back out of the void so others don't give up on these little diesels.
This post should be a sticky!
I love you lost community!
I did the rockers and arp studs when I did my timing belt. I’m pretty sure that job was worth like 1/5th the value of my Jeep and that was at 93k miles. There is a point where I am not sure there is any logic in throwing that much money at these things. It’s purely emotional.
I love my Jeep, but at this point it’s because I have so much time/effort invested in it. I cannot imagine getting rid of it unless something catastrophic happens because of the time put into it.
