2006 Jeep Liberty
Hey... My parents just bought me a 2006 Jeep Liberty, 3.7 liter V6. I have been searching Jeep forums and reading a ton! I can't figure why i cant spin out the back tires (Yes its Rear wheel Drive..) I'm wondering if it has a governor chip or something to do with the computer system in the truck... PLEASE HELP ME!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Cars?
you have a limited slip differential and a car that is made to handle itself on a trail not burn out in your high school parking lot. however if damage to yourself and the vehicle are not a problem for you there is one way. crank it. turn out of a parking lot and mash on the gas. that will typically break any tire free. its dumb cuz your losing control. but if thats a risk your willing to take then go for it. for anyone who tells you that the high torque and low top speed is the reason. they are wrong. that low end torque is what you need to break the tires free. especially with a heavy vehicle. you also have an entire computer system thats sole purpose is to prevent you from losing traction. so good luck to you and dont hurt yourself

ok,
on top of voiding your warranty, on top of all the matanince you will have to pay for if you screw something up, your jeep will not burn out, no matter what, unless you throw it in 1st gear, pour bleach down on the ground where you are attempting to burn out, and revv the hell out of it, which will kill your suv if it isnt broken in already.
Besides the fact, that jeeps are known for being geared for tourque, and less for high end power, so good luck getting those wheels to spin.
FYI, first gear ratio for jeep liberty in 2006 is 4.06, my dad is a master mechanic who taught me how to read chart.

Hello there,
Jeep Liberty is a great vehicle for stereo installs, and a very poor one for exhibition of speed.
First things first: Front to back, this is a fairly well balanced vehicle. That means when you hit the gas, the load shifts to the rear tires, pushing them on the ground really hard.
Next you have anti-lock brakes with throttle reduction, so the usual cheater method either will not work or will result in your brand new vehicle being in the shop the first time you try it.
Then you have a traction control system designed to keep the tires from spinning... :-(
You have the wrong vehicle for burn-outs I am afraid.
If you try to make it do something it doesn't want to, you will not be buying new tires, you will be explaining to your parents why the Jeep dealership says you voided your warranty.
You will be completely without a vehicle, and Jeep would be within their rights to refuse to service it. (All repairs would be on your parents, just as if it was a used car.)
Do you really want to have to explain that one to your parents? Heck, I am 35, and I wouldn't want to explain that to my parents. ;-)
There is something really important to remember about running the engine and transmission hard like that: It is a new engine and a new transmission... These things need to be driven gently for the break-in period. Look in your owner's manual to find out how long that is. Some are 6,000 miles, some are 16,000 and some are 30,000.
If you take good care of it for the first little bit, you will be much happier in the long run.
Enjoy the vehicle for what it is, and what you can make it: A thumping sound wagon.
No matter what you do to this, it isn't going to be a good burn-out vehicle.
Have fun with your new vehicle.
DN.

First, I take no responsibility for any damage this may or may not cause to your new Jeep.
IF its an automatic:
1.Apply light pressure to brake pedal.
2.Put gear selector in lowest gear possible.
3.Put your gas pedal to the floor.
(It is possible your Jeep doesn't have enough power to spin the wheels)
4.Release the brake and drive off in billowing clouds of white smoke.
This will cause damage to engine, transmission, driveshaft and U joints, rearend and tires. And is illegal on the street. You would be better off finding a local drag strip to play on. Most of them do have test and tune nights where you can safley play to your hearts content.
If you don't know if there is one in your area, let me know and I will find the closest one to you.

Well it has NOTHING to do with the governor chip because that only controls the speed of your vehicle. It has nothing to do with the computer system either. Spinning out takes practice and time. You'll eventually learn how.
