    Fuel cap VS gas cap

    I can't see why there would be a physical/mechanical difference, if the filler neck in all models have the same size thread. I believe the CRD caps are green, and the gasoline models are yellow; other than the color difference they should be the same. I would check with Chrysler, just to be sure.

    Help with MPG/Performance Mods

    Hello, willabbott: The #1 thing you need to know about your Liberty CRD is that it's chassis limits the towing capability to 5000 lbs, and I would not exceed that amount, as the Liberty is essentially a unibody design. The engine and transmission may be capable of towing more, but you run the...

    Towing with a CRD?

    I have a CRD, and so does my partner with whom I developed the our new design engine thermostat. He has no problem towing a 2500 lb travel trailer with the CRD loaded also with 5 people and gear. That was in 90 degree weather at 120 kms/hour on vacation. We were torture-testing the new...

    why does my % engine load seem to be creeping up over time

    Thank you, gmctd... any chance we can talk? I wasn't seeing responses to this thread, and so I simply gave it my "best guess". I really want to know more about this, because I myself feel that the transmission in the CRD is not efficiently transferring the power to the ground. I get the...

    why does my % engine load seem to be creeping up over time

    I agree with gmctd... you need to work on your English grammar in order for us to understand you clearly. I think I may be able to help you if you still have this problem.

    2006 crd....?

    The Liberty CRD has a great little motor, with potential for lots of torque. It is hampered by a very bad pollution control system, and a very bad engine thermostat that makes the engine run less efficiently, and use more fuel. The thermostat contributes to the pollution control problem...

    CRD temperature gauges... I am sure that this has been done; but by who? I do not know. I can tell you that plugging an OBDII reader into your port under the steering wheel is a good way to get an actual number - a proper engine temperature reading - of your engine when it is running. We...
