    HOW TO: Keep your Fog Lights ON with High Beams

    Doing this mod in a 05 KJ CRD Thanks to myjeepwalks for the great write up. I finally got around to doing this mod today after having the PDF stored on my laptop for two years. The relay is the same but the wires from the multifunction switch are a narrower gauge and are a different color on...

    Cracked 22mpg combined

    There is of course no obligation for anyone to run their tires at the proper pressure (fully inflated) but since this thread has to do with MPG gains it has been proven to be a good way to achieve more efficiency. Many thousands of drivers have been doing it for many years without catastrophic...

    general opinions on CRDs? anyone use biodiesel?

    Break given. We like to have a lot of fun talking trash to each other here. I still have to point out that you are mistaken about the price of BD being linked to the cost of the feed stock. When I checked today the price of bulk soy oil was ~$1.58 per gallon. Add in the cost of reactants...

    general opinions on CRDs? anyone use biodiesel?

    No it doesn't. It exactly mirrors the price swings of D2. What is a "soil bean"?:D

    Cracked 22mpg combined

    Amen! Modern tires are constructed in such a way the tread surface itself has very little ability to bulge in or out like a balloon. By raising the pressure to the max rated or even slightly over, tire wear is changed very little. Many people still use the old "trick" of marking the tire with a...

    bought a JET chip.

    Just buy a stock CRD KJ and Chip it or get a retune. No complicated implanting needed.

    general opinions on CRDs? anyone use biodiesel?

    I too like to consider myself a posterboy for the toughness of the CRD. I laugh at anybody who makes sweeping statements about the fragility of the CP3 injection pumps like, how they will fail if there is anything but diesel in them, or how B100 will melt them. Some people have even come out and...

    SEGR instructions

    Does anyone have a copy of the instructions for assembly and installation for the SEGR kit. I"m getting a friend to solder it up for me but lost the instructions somewhere between two moves and 1000 miles. I've had the stupid thing for almost two years now and have yet to get it put in. sad2.gif

    HOW TO: How to install Mopar Foglights

    Thanks Tony and Blu, but I already had that PDF. What i am interested in is simply running the foggy feed from the side markers or something similar. I want to compare the two mods and decide which might be easier. I know that the marker light splice would remove the choice to switch the foggys...

    HOW TO: How to install Mopar Foglights

    Bump.(bump). It would be nice to know which wire to cut and splice for fog+high beam. Pics would be helpful.

    Cold Engine Piston Slap

    Absolutely no doubt about that. I was simply making the point that it more common than one might think. All automotive manufacturers have quirks with their products. Sometimes the problems just don't start to show up until a few years after production. Chrysler did know about the valve issue...

    Cold Engine Piston Slap

    It seems that the early 3.7s had an inadequate oil pump as well as an intake screen in the sump which was too small for a good flow. It is thought that because the volume is too low, sludge builds up in the low flow areas of the engine and pieces of it later break off, lodging in the small...

    Fyi

    GM; I'm surprised. I don't think that I've ever seen you post an error like this.[-X Advancing the timing results in MUCH hotter combustion and higher cylinder pressure. The temperature and pressure is in fact so high that if advanced much beyond ~16 degrees TDC, you will soon be looking for a...

    Fyi

    Over fueling because of a restricted fuel filter is a commonly heard myth concerning modern computer controlled Turbo diesel engines. The computer controls the fueling based on the MAP signal. If boost pressure is decreased due to severe filter restriction, the computer will fuel accordingly...

    Cold Engine Piston Slap

    No, only one of the engines in that thread had 153k on it. The other one about 2/3 of the way down the post has 74 thousand KILOMETERS on the clock, which is only 50k miles. A modern engine with only 153k miles should NOT be considered worn out, and certainly not one with only 50k. The above...

    Cold Engine Piston Slap

    jg45. If it is indeed piston slap there are a couple of things which you can try to diagnose it before taking it to the Scamcanic. This site has a good recommendation in the fourth paragraph from the bottom of the page. http://www.remanufactured.com/Engine_Noise_Diagnosis_101.htm It says this...
