Do they have a different model for the CRD? Because the H&R springs I have, though I highly recommend them, would almost certainly get squished under the weight of a substantially heavier engine. I cannot imagine them being appropriate for a CRD - speculating based on some weights and springrate...

Hey folks, I'm having the exact same issue as the OP. Would love any advise... thanks! - Yesterday the engine would turn off after only 2 seconds of running (repeatably) with the dash just reading "no bus", and no error code. - After holding the battery leads together the car has started fine...

First of all: yes, and thank you :) But to zoom in a little further: why would you need longer bumps with a spacer lift? (I enjoy this debate because it appears so widely misunderstood, which you clearly agree with!) If your new shock had a minimum length (fully compressed) greater than stock...

I was surprised also. What they tell me is that mechanics are in such critically short supply that shops are basically fending off work.

I also replacement my heater core this weekend. Definitely a big job! I think it took me a little over 10h but overall it wasn't as frustrating as I feared it might be. Every youtube example is slightly different it seems. My approach summary: - partially drained the cooling system from the...

Well, I finally managed to bottom-out the front without bumpstops! I haven't run front bumps in over a year now (mostly because I lost them tbh) and its never been an issue, even at the most offcamber ditch-crossing angle I'm willing to go (which might be tame compared to some). But last month I...

I tried the same hack to externally pump Rislone Liquid Aluminum through the leaking heater core but to no avail. I tried 20min with the recommended concentration and afterward 20min with double concentration. Zero impact. I had the cabin fan going as well to move air over it, but it could also...

@Mgaylord I had some similar issues you are describing, but a substantial clunk when the wheel drops on the other side of a bump. I was especially getting it when driving off a flat surface with ~2" sudden drop. Since the (then stock) UCA could not reach the spring when jacked up, and saw no...

Maybe swaybar endlinks? Can try to overtorque them to test, the upper bolts that is.

Ha well... I've still got the standard 3" front bumpstop on, which is 2" longer than factory, which combined with the rest of the geometry reduces uptravel by about 3" at the wheel. But then again my lift with the H&R springs is about 2.5", so the total uptravel is only a little worse than stock...

I'd love to try the 5100's up front. Does anyone have good info on the adjustment range in terms of +/- from stock length? Interesting that you got a substantial lift with the stock springs @Joey D , is the new shock adjusted to be shorter or longer than stock?

Mine did the same for a while; clunking when the car lurches fore/back slightly during rapid gear change - for me it was the upper tri-link bushing.

The springs haven't sagged measurably at rest. They just softened up a bit more since the initial break-in period of about 3 weeks. Not sure what to say about the ride that I haven't already described. Its really tough to publicize technical data because it largely makes you accountable for its...

Yea I originally got 4" of lift from the 927s also. Its no good man, try measuring the wheel to fender with the front jacked off the ground. You'll have about 1" of downtravel when you should have had 5". Its not necessarily intuitive, but downtravel is equally important to uptravel. This is why...

I should actually share that after really breaking the H&R springs in (3+months), I have to conclude that they are too soft for running without the front swaybar. It was good for a while, but increasingly I'm bottoming out and rolling around a bit too much. I still think its a great product but...

Getting the pinch weld flat and molding the plastic as flat as possible is a must for this size/lift/offset combo. I needed to remove and mold a lot in front of the tires too. I suspect you wouldn't have quite the same rubbing in front with a lesser offset rim. Removing the rear swaybar was...

Thats what mine did also. I expected the fan to fail completely but instead its failing was intermittent and sporadic. I replaced the fan ($110, 10mm bolts, easy!) and everything was perfect after that. ...one year later, I'm now getting P1491. This code seems a little ambiguous to me but...

I'm curious what bulbs you got there and what you think of the installed result. I'm overdue for new bulbs.

Did you/they replace the accumulator or any sensors at all? And what temps have you been driving in during the issues? (Glad to hear your issue is solved btw) What still bugs me is that the low-pressure switch is supposed to prevent operation during a low-charge scenario. And supposedly prevent...

The jeep service manual has a detailed procedure to test that switch and others, page 24-19 in my manual. Sounds easy, just need a ref pressure gauge.
