Jeep liberty Tranny over heat warning light?




Dana


I have a 05 jeep liberty about 60k on it. I was going camping last summer with the family here in arizona, for those of you that know the liberty, they have hardly no cargo room with the rear seats up. Anyways I put the kids side by side and flipped down the right section of the rear seat for more cargo space. WE were LOADED, a family tent, two 7 gallon coolers, 2 sleeping bags, two lanterns with propane, our luggage, about 5 blankets, pillows, chain saw, and 3 of those fold up in a bag chairs. and a fishing pole/tackle box. Couldn't see out the read window at all...I mean i had stuff packed up my two little boys feet on the floor board. Anyways we started driving up the rim which is a good 70 miles of constant up hill. about 40 miles in the light came on, i pulled over look at my manual, and instructed to shut off the car and wait till the light goes off. did that everything was good and went camping and since then the light has not come on, been about a year. I seem to be driving alot in overdrive going up that day, should i kick it down to 2nd gear? or just drive very slow?? I plan on purchasing a roof basket some time in the futur so all my weight isn't in the back it will be more evenly distributed also..but whats are your thoughts/experiences??


Answer
Sell it, and get a 4x4 Cherokee XJ. Get the straight 6 which you can run 200k to 300k miles on easily. Huge after market, more cargo room.

For your Liberty; You might want to look into adding a transmission cooler. They cost $50 and are very easy to install. A mechanic should be able to install one in an hour.
