They should also be buying proper engine thermostats for their CRD customers as well!! Chrysler and V.M. Motori were complete idiots for missing something as fundamental as getting the running engine temperature correct.
Running at 176 degrees Fahrenheit, (this is the opening temperature of...
I am sure that shutting the pollution control down is a part of all of the GDE Tunes, but it is probably best to speak to a staff member at GDE. If you want it straight from the horse's mouth, you can contact Green
Diesel Engineering through their website...
Green Diesel Engineering
Just an update and an announcement...
As of today -- July 19, 2015 -- there are only 4 or perhaps 5 thermostats available for sale in this current production run of 40 units. These are the second generation Model 001 engine thermostat assemblies that have the extra threaded ports for...
Best CRD modifications...
#1) The tune of your choice from Green Diesel Engineering.
#1A) If you get the GDE tune, an upgrade to the torque converter is highly recommended. Either a Suncoast converter or the European Spec torque converter will do. If you are going to get the GDE Hot Tune...
Part number for transmission oil cooler.
Your local dealer should be able to give you that part number. Failing that, LOSTJEEPS.com has an excellent section for CRD owners, and I believe they have an online parts manual there. If there is no parts manual on LOSTJEEPS.com, you can always ask...
Use a dye in the coolant and pressure test
I think the only thing that is going to help you is to purchase or borrow a cooling system pressure tester, and add dye, (preferably the kind that shows up under ultra violet light) to the coolant to see where the leak is coming from.
You first need...
Without actually being able to look your vehicle over, I can not give you an accurate diagnosis on your coolant leak. The leak may be quite minor, given the fact that the coolant level goes down very slowly. You may also want to look at the steel coolant lines for evidence of cracking; usually...
I think the mystery is solved...
O.K... I think I can safely say after all that I and the other Jeff have discovered in our research, both the V.M. Motori R425 and R428 turbo-diesel engines in Jeep Liberty and Cherokee vehicles throughout the world use the same engine thermostat assembly...
It sounds to me like you have a bad thermostat AND a separate slow leak somewhere. Have you hoisted the vehicle up and checked under the engine bay for the source of the leak? How about your engine oil... does it have milky-white coloring in the oil? Milky engine oil is indicative of a bad...
Lack of feedback
Trying to get customers to leave ANY feedback is like pulling teeth...
:Plugged:
If anyone on this forum decides to purchase a Model 001, P-L-E-A-S-E post your thoughts and impressions before and after installation. Other customers need to know from people other than me...
Second generation model 001 available now
I am attempting to post some photos comparing the first generation Hot Diesel Solutions Model 001 prototype engine thermostat assembly with the second generation Model 001 prototype.
The first gen unit was in my blue Liberty CRD since the fall of...
You might want to research your local area for a FORMER Chrysler dealer. 789 of them were dropped in 2009 after Fiat took over, and most dealer owners lost a tremendous amount of money. Many of these former dealers still have the Miller tools that were specially made to work on the V.M. Motori...
Does anyone out in JEEPKJ Country know absolutely 100% for sure if the engine thermostat assembly in the V.M. Motori R428 engine is the same one in the V.M. Motori R425 engine?
I understand clearly that the R428 is a direct descendant of the R425; but they may use different thermostat...
Firstly, what differences are there between the 2004 model sold in South Africa, and the 2005 - 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD vehicles sold here in North America? There is a fellow here who sells an intake elbow kit that completely removes the EGR and the Flow Control Valve off of the North American...
