Fill radiator to max capacity (a funnel that fits into rad.neck is great allows more capacity) run engine keeping funnel/radiator full do this until air bubbles stop coming up and the rad.cooling fan engages.DONE. make sure climate control isnt calling for ac or defrost as this will prematurally call for cooling fans

sounds like a head gasket problem. A minor leak there will pump compression into coolant and force it out of heater core. Any unusual steaming from tail pipe? Also: if radiator was flushed "in car" sometimes debris does not come out. Try flushing with it out of the vehicle. Jeep radiators are notoriously small for their application if not at at least 90% they will not work correctly.I'd look at the hg first though otherwise, your symptoms seem to be contradictory.

SOURCE: how to replace rear brake pads on 2005 jeep liberty

put the back of car on jack stands and secure the front tires so it does not roll and then remove the bolts off the back of the caliper there is normally two one at top and one at bottom and spray it with some kind of oil for rust and make sure you have the right size socket before you try to loosen them and once caliper is off and the old pads removed take one of the old pads and squeeze the piston on the caliper back in by using a "C" clamp and also remove some of the brake fluid from the master cylinder before you do this put the new ones back on and check the brake fluid and make sure it is full and then pump the brakes to make sure you have a good pedal also put some "No Squeak" brake stop on the back of the pads so they don't squeak they will have that where you buy the pads from

SOURCE: How to replace reak brake rotors on Jeep Liberty

Replace rear rotors on 04 liberty.
Remove tire & wheel
Remove brake caliper, tie up out of way.
Back off e-brake shoe adjustment.
Remove factory spring clip from lugs (2places)
This is the crude part....
After attempting to pull off disc/drum with puller....I got pretty sick of it. Understand this is in the Northeast with lots of salt on the roads in winter. Needless to say there is a ridge of rust around the inside edge of the e-brake surface. Any more pressure and I was afraid of damage to the e-brake shoe asembly. I then took a small grinder with a cut off wheel and cut the disc thru (used space where caliper usually sits). Also cut nearly through the face between 2 lugs. You can't quite get thru the back corner at the disc. Since the material is cast iron it will crack when you drive a wedge in the slot cut in the disc. This opens the housing around the shoes and it slides off easily. The cutting operation took less than10 mins, alot less than the puller with hammer assist!
I know this is a bit "unorthodox" to say the least, however the object is to remove the old junk disc safely and as quickly as possible, without harming the e-brake parts inside.
Install new parts in reverse order, new pads go in easy after squeezing the caliper piston back with a c clamp as is the normal procedure.

SOURCE: how to change out thermostat on 2002 jeep liberty?

Hi:
You don't need to remove the water pump. The thermostat is located under a housing, at the engine end of the upper radiator hose.

All you need to do is drain your radiator, remove the upper radiator hose, and remove the thermostat housing. Clean it up well, and replace all gaskets before reinstalling!

2003 Jeep Liberty water pump pulley

Most water pumps come with a pulley already fitted. Replace the entire pump and pulley as the pump blades are plastic and wear over time. Most vehicle manufacturers recommend changing the pump everytime you replace a timing belt. If you are removing the belt to do this job swap the timing belt for a new one. Always a good idea on older and higher mileage vehicles.

My 02 jeep liberty is overheating. I changed thermostat and flushed engine. Need advice.

If your coolant is good and the thermostat is good and your still overheating, then it is obvious that the pump isn't working. Change out the water pump.

Why does my 02 Jeep Liberty blow out cold air at an idle & warm air only while driving?

Hello mcebbie.
From the symptoms you describe it is a restriction in the heater core or the hoses.
At idle the water pump is turning slowly and has less pressure and flow.
As your engine speeds up so does the water pump and it flows more heated coolant through the core.
Check for a pinched line in and out of the heater core. If they appear OK you may need the core flushed or replaced.
I hope your repair goes well for you.

Thank you for using FixYa.

2002 LIBERTY OVERHEATING:

do you have a "check engine" light on? A bad temp sensor would give a wrong reading. Do you get heat from your heater core? Also make sure you are getting a good flow from catalytic converter and muffler so you know they aren't plugged heating up engine temp. Also make sure all your heat shields are in tact. Are you using 50/50 mix or mostly water? Though in cold temps you normally want to use more antifreeze less water, I would try more water, less antifrezze.
