    CRD boost diagnostic

    Thanks for the info. Water pump was changed and the glow plugs were all intact when I changed them. I don’t know about the rockers, is there a way to check them externally? The bottom of the intake hose is pretty bad but it’s still on the turbo. I’ll see if I can check the variable vane lever...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I’ve got a problem that’s gotten continuously worse. I’ve got a really bad metallic rattle in my 05 CRD. Thought it was timing components but I did a timing kit and it’s still there. It’s getting worse so I need to find what what’s going on. It only makes the noise at idle especially if it’s...

    CRD boost diagnostic

    I’m having trouble on my 05 CRD. I have an under boost code as well as a maf low circuit performance. The turbo seems to be struggling, but I think I might also have a boost leak. The CAC hoses have already been replaced with silicone and I’ve checked them multiple times. How do I check the...

    I have an Edelbrock inline pump from Autozone; its meant for diesel but I don't know if its fail open or not. I used it when I was diagnosing a no start as potentially fuel related, it's just been sitting around since then. I'd much rather use an intank pump and harness but it seems Sasquatch...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I spent three hours on lost jeeps the other night and found a few things. Cleaned the MAP yesterday at lunch, it was terribly caked in soot. Sounded a little better but my guess was that it would help with consistency. I updated my tire size so that my speedometer is accurate; while I was at it...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Exactly what I thought at first, but as far as I can tell the fan is still spinning fine with the belt. I have three basic theories: 1. Something is wrong with the radiator/ cooling system. A plugged radiator, bad thermostat, failing water pump. The problem is that none of these can alone...

    Hey all, I've been having a weird heat problem with my CRD. I live in Oklahoma and we've obviously been having some serious heat lately. Basically, anytime that I use the AC the engine temperature begins to rise, especially in city driving. Obviously the heat from the AC condenser is overheating...

    Where in the world did you find it? I really would love one of these, but they're way too expensive new.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I wave at all KJ Libbys, wranglers, and gladiators, but not much else. The KK isn't good enough unless its heavily modified and I'll consider a Cherokee if its really well built. Unfortunately the Jeep wave is really dying. My dad has a very nice, low mileage, well built TJ Wrangler and almost...

    Please tell me you will be the nice wrangler owner that will wave to Libbys since you know better!?!

    Where did you get the basket and bars? That looks fabulous! How does it affect the moonroof? Any extra noises?

    What are your suggestions for front lower control arms? My front bushings are completely shot and they are making noise. I don't want to buy anything cheap; are there any aftermarket parts that stand out? I'm running about 2.5-3" of lift with 245/75/16 tires.

    I have a set of LEDs on my liberty and they are perfect. No flickering or unevenness; also they are the brightest available aftermarket LED bulbs that I can find. Highly recommend for the Liberty, they look amazing. Here's the link...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Yes but that's not the same size tire; the toyo's are $196 for the P245, and $237 for the LT245. Anyway, I've already read hundred's of reviews for both and for my location, driving style and routine, and my offroad plans the Falken Wildpeake AT3W is the correct tire to use. My decision is...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I know that its been discussed before, but I'm getting ready for a set of tires. I'm buying Falken Wildpeake at3Ws. Here's the option: P245/75/16 112T XL with 13/32, 39lbs, at $193 each; or LT245/75/16 120 E1 with 17/32, 50 lbs at $228 each. They both carry a 55,000 mile warranty. I know that...

    Transmission Skid Plate DIY

    So here's a blueprint of what would be little better than a preproduction model. It's not perfect, and you may want to adjust it slightly for your application. It's made of 1/8" (11 gauge or 3mm) steel plate with 1/8" 1"x1" angle iron. It's a pretty reasonable weight right now and it's really...

    I changed to an ARB diff cover and its about three quarts capacity with the new cover; I also have the trac-lok lsd so that may effect it slightly

    Sorry guys, been really busy for a few days; I'll try to get a clean copy of those plans out to you this week

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I'm considering fabricating rock sliders, front winch plate, and front bull bar that will actually stand up to some abuse. It takes some time and a bit of planning, but its also really satisfying to sit back and see the work that you made. Also of note, I have removed my custom transmission skid...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    That rack looks great! Why is it that the Liberty look so much better with the rack on it? That diff cover will look terrific after you install it; I put one on my kj a few months back. when I ordered it I was going to order the black cover, but they were out of stock and I needed one in a...
