Yes, I can run you through the installation of the Derale Transmission Cooler, part # D13502, on your 2002 Jeep Liberty.

To begin, you will want to find a place to mount the cooler. The ideal place to mount a transmission cooler is behind the front grille but in front of the radiator. You will want to measure the mounting location as this cooler measures 11 inches wide by 7-1/4 inches tall and is 7/8 inches thick.

Next, if your Jeep is equipped with a factory transmission cooler (see owners manual), you will want to install the Derale cooler after the factory cooler. The Derale cooler will install in-line with the transmission fluid return line. You will use the included hose to connect to the return line from the OEM cooler to the Derale cooler, then, from the Derale cooler to the transmisssion return line.

I have linked a video installation of the Derale Transmission Cooler # D13502 on a different vehicle, I have also linked an FAQ on transmission coolers.
