    European KJ question

    We much prefer the 6spd manual vs the automatics - that's on the gas V6 perspective. (My work puts me in an automatic one now and again.) No doubt a 6spd CRD is hard to find - not available at all in North America.

    Survey on AT tires being used

    Duratracs on again for the summer. Think this is the 3rd year for them. 245/75R16E

    Even new (rockauto) they didn't cost that much.

    The diesel coils have a touch more beef to them. That's what I put in.

    Rusted E16 external torx bolts for wheel bearing.

    Taking the knuckle off is not a terrible job. After removing the balljoint nut, a swift hammer-blow should do it. The lower control arm is what holds your alignment anyway.

    2006 kj crd rear 8.25 diff c clips

    I have a spare D44 rear from a WJ. Many of them used the 242 select-trac tcase like the KJ. The 'better' D44s beat out the 8.25", but those would be in a JK or some Rubicon model. Some kind of LSD is better than nothing for sure. There were Powr-lok types made for the 44 - more aggressive than...

    Can I get an alignment before rear control arm replacement?

    The alignment is done on the front. There is nothing to adjust on the rear.

    2006 kj crd rear 8.25 diff c clips

    The D30 is in the front. Jeep Dana 35 and 44 commonly use a pressed-on bearing and no c-clips. I know of other examples where 'foreign' models got alternative axles. Not sure about the Liberty.

    2006 kj crd rear 8.25 diff c clips

    The Chrysler 8.25" is a c-clip axle. Is this an outside-north-america production Jeep? If so, I can't guarantee these use the 8.25".

    REAR LOCKER FOR 06 KJ CRD C8.25 WITH C-CLIPS

    Here's some selectable lockers: https://ox-usa.com/product-category/1-lockers/chrysler-8-25/ https://store.arbusa.com/air-locker-differential-chrysler-8-25-29-splrd93/ There's nothing CRD-specific about your rear axle. I also believe that by 2006 the ring gear bolts are revised to 10mm (from...

    Rear Diff Ring gear bolts 8.25

    I re-use them. Loctite also. Beware the bolt size changed mid '05. 3/8" vs 10mm.

    Heh. I'm on the 3rd set of pinion bearings with the 3.7L/6spd. Ujoints last longer!

    Front brake caliper pin problems

    I went through the exact same thing. Bushing slid up because of air trapped behind it. Fishing line did the trick.

    Front brake caliper pin problems

    Doubled over fishing line. Breaks the seal to let the trapped air escape.

    How do you check clutch fluid?

    You can squeeze the cap out of there. BTDT. Why they did that is beyond me

    Not really. Have done that with several other vehicles before to prove the theory. Edit: still have a bottle of additive on my shelf in case I cross one that misbehaves and needs it.

    Have now gone 150,000km now without any additive. Still works nice and grabs tight when it's supposed to.

    Any other battery sizes that fit a V6?

    Sorry, have only bought the OEM/listed size battery each time. Here's a battery size chart. See what your tray has room for.

    Six speed Manual Trans fluid exchange time/mileage schedule

    20k is nothing. I have only changed the oil when changing the clutch or rebuilding the trans.

    2003 rear diff posi

    I would not bother taking it further apart, and leave the additive out. After test driving it to get the oil circulated and warm, THEN decide if it needs additive. I haven't put additive in a used posi diff for over 25 years - as it tends to defeat the grip on a used unit.
