The locksmith told me that when he put in the second key, he did not get the theft light to come on. Then he tried his black box and the new key chip is OK but it will not code. What is wrong with my '06 Liberty CRD? Is the anti theft stuff in the Body Control Module?

The Racor filters are available in 2 micron rating. The OEM or Wix is 10 micron. The 2 micron will help your injectors last the life of the engine. Something to keep in mind if you are not a trade it in after a few years type of guy. What I did: More pics: Mopar to Racor...

Lots of RADAR On one long trip, I got 34MPG due to having lots of RADAR around me. Even with all my mods: 2006 Pearl Green CRD Magnaflow 2 1/2" Cat Back KJ Extra Leg Room Brackets, Carter Lift Pump, V6 Airbox, ORM Fuel cooler, Oil Separator, Progard 7 air filter Gauges EGT Boost Trans Temp...

You need to be a Diesel Lover to want to own one. If you go to LOST and see my sig, that is most of my mods I have done to improve performance and longevity. LOST has a lot of good information and some not so good information. When you do your research note some of the members mods they brag...

The GDE flash reduces the rate of EGR, it does not disable the EGR, read their published documents, it is all there. To get rid of the EGR. First, check you garage or driveway for spy cameras :happy175: so you don't get caught. Then, remove the two nuts that mount your fuel filter, swing it up...

Zinc dithiophosphate is one of the oil additives our CRD engines oil need to live a long life. Many of the newer oils being developed for gasoline engines and being passed of as diesel oils are lacking. May both the Tree Huggers who wants the catalyst to outlast the engine and academic debater...

With all due respect, you like to argument, but parts of your argument don't hold water. Rotella T-6 synthetic is suitable for the 2.8L CRD, it has the specs. Try not to confuse anyone with Rotella T which is not synthetic. I just like the results I got from Amsoil AMO 10W-40 better like a...

Lets say you put in 20W-50 into an engine that calls for 10W-40. After a little use the 20W-50 oil will thin out as it generates heat, from being forced through the engine clearances. You have no advantage using high viscosity oil, unless you are selling a car with a tired engine to a total fool...

Additives, some are the same and some are not. The oil I switched over to Amsoil AMO 10W-40 meets or exceeds the following specs: API SL, SJ, SH, SG API CI-4 Plus, CH-4, CF, CF-2 ISO-L-EMA • Caterpillar ECF-1 JASO MA (Motorcycle) • MAN 271/3275 • MTU Type 2 Cummins 20071/20072/20076/20077...

With all due respect to the Chrysler Bean Counters who used ISO 9000-X Certified Beans with serial numbers imprinted onto each bean (next GPS transmitters in each bean so the micro managers can track the beans from the desk top to the jar). :happy175: The oil that is best for a CRD is not the...

Or the wire going to the starter solenoid or the solenoid. Use a 12 Volt test light with a big enough bulb to put a load on the wire and connections. If the light burns dim, you have a bad connection or bad contacts in your starter relay. Volt meters will lie to you and show full voltage even...

Pull down the specs for Amsoil 10W-40 AMO and do the best you can to match the specs. Avoid the Tree Hugger Oils that have deleted most if not all the zinc. Many of the good oils I have used for years have turned to crap with the change in the additives. As an avid conservationist who works for...

Joe, do us all a big favor, make sure your kids get enough Sand Box Time so that if they grow up to be Engineers, they will know what they are doing. :happy175: Cartoons and Video Games don't cut it if that is all they get.

They are human and have bigger than life EGOs. Another characteristic of some Engineers is that they fight to defend their decisions even when they are wrong, even if it takes more effort. So Joe, enjoy having your lower EGTs, more power to the rear wheels due to a more efficient intercooler...

The Universal Fan Clutch Tool set from NAPA that has a big pin wrench to hold the pulley and a 36mm open end wrench with a long handle that costs ~$80 works great. Off in seconds, even if the big adjustable wrench and big hammer did not work.
