    How to improve power and transmission performance on the 3.7

    I don't think that there's much available for the 3.6, it's fairly well tuned as is, the diesel can be chipped but it's got a turbo that can be wound up.

    ABS light on

    You're lucky, we have an annual inspection so abandoning most things isn't going to work, even stupid things like TPMS is a fail.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Mine is getting weak and I can hear it cycling so I'd better get booked in for some gas.

    P0304 and completely out of ideas....

    If it passes compression test and isn't loosing coolant then I'd hang back on pulling the head. Check injector wiring & coil pack wiring

    Deeke's upper control arms?

    How do they look? Are they welds decent?

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Think the V6 has timing chains so probably worn & rattling until the tensioner pumps up. Definitely worth looking at as a failure will be catastrophic.

    Deeke's upper control arms?

    The metal core must be clamped in any bush setup, poly's use the core as a big plane bearing to rotate on, so normally smeared in silicone grease on assembly or they sqeak. Rubber bushes are pliable and just deform between the sleeve and core to allow movement.

    All the earlier KJs have the centre mounted window switches.

    EGR valve solenoid--where to buy?

    If it's anything like my 2004 the EGR is vacuum operated, the solenoid is the small black cylinder on the left hand side of the engine bay. ..... and the best thing that can happen to the old CRD is the EGR going mysteriously faulty in the closed position! Mine just happened to do that the...

    Accelerator pedal adjustment

    They are all lower than the brake pedal, no adjustment I'm afraid, the easiest fix I can think of would be to attach a spacer block to the pedal to raise it up as much as you need, something like these..

    Rumble when deceleration

    What grease did you put on the slide pins? Mineral grease attacks the rubber parts makes them swell up, silicone grease only around brakes!

    Lesjofors springs? What are these?

    They are a big OEM supplier to manufacturers in Europe, decent quality springs, I've fitted them to Peugeots but never tried a set for a Jeep.

    Rumble when deceleration

    A dragging brake will do it, any noticeable heat from them after a drive?

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I had my original key cloned, took the guy 5 minutes! I'd like another fob but nobody round here has a DRB III, I'll have to see if a Modus or Autel has the ability. Annoyingly the Euro model only has a 3 button fob so the coding trick won't work.

    Rumble when deceleration

    Is there plenty of oil in the gearbox? Is it still nice and pink? If it's brown or black the clutch packs are slipping. Start with the cheapest part after checking the oil, the front prop UJ, is the small rubber boot still in place? If not the joint is probably wrecked. You can completely...

    Best practice for buying parts?

    The annoyance of having to repeat a job and pay twice is enough to ensure I only fit decent parts, I could do with a new set of injectors & I see full sets of Chinese CRD ones on Ebay for the cost of 1 new Bosch, however I don't particularly want to burn a hole in a piston so I'll stump up for...
