Post subject:  Sixth tire wreaks havoc on '04 Liberty
So I was driving through CT, Sunday, on my way home and the car in front of me swerved to avoid something. As soon as I saw that it was a tire in the middle of the highway it was too late and it went right under the Jeep. UGH!!!! :mad: I spent my Halloween on the side of Route 91 in CT. The KJ is at the local repair shop and I am waiting for an estimate...

To preface this... Saturday I just got the front and rear diff's fluid changed and the mechanic told me there is a 704 error coming from the trans.. Any idea what that is?

Yeah! Thanks everyone. I am still waiting on a quote from the auto mechanic. The funny thing is that I think skids would have saved the car and took the brunt of the damage. They have now been moved to the top of the list. If I have any money after the repairs..

Finally got a quote.. Oil pan, oil pan gasket, labor.. $600. I expected much worse.

$600! The oil pan is less than $100.

Oil Pan - $200 ??
Oil Pan Gasket $70 ?
Plus labor... Is there an easier way?

Yeah tow it home buy the parts elsewhere and install it yourself. If your not mechanically inclined, then no.

Would have loved to but I broke down about 4 hours away from home. I think the cost of the tow would have been more then the repairs itself. Plus I just don't have the equipment for that kind of job. Yeah, the $600 was for parts and labor.

Price seems pretty reasonable to me. You have to pull the engine to change the oil pan.

...do you really? Never looked like it to me but as I am thinking about it...I can't exactly picture all the bolts for it...so maybe you are right. Either way, that sucks. Sorry to hear about it.

I think TJKJ posted once that you can accomplish the same thing by support the engine and dropping the cradle. Either way a PITA. Here's instructions from the 2002 factory service manual.

OIL PAN - REMOVAL:
(1) Remove the engine (Refer to 9- ENGINE-REMOVAL)
(2) Position the engine in a suitable engine stand.

NOTE: Do not pry on oil pan or oil pan gasket. Gasket is integral to engine windage tray and does not come out with oil pan.

(3) Remove the oil pan mounting bolts and oil pan.
(4) Unbolt oil pump pickup tube and remove tube.
(5) Remove the oil pan gasket/windage tray assembly from engine.
