2003 seats in a 2004 KJ?
Physically - yes. If you're wanting to hook them up electrically, that gets into a whole nother can of worms. DC changed the color coding, harnesses, and diagrams several times between 02 and 07. I've got a set of leather seats from an 02 Limited in my 05 Sport CRD. Physically, it's a...- retmil46

Mechanical Fan on JK's?
Well, spent some time swapping e-mails with one of the online dealer service depts/parts sellers today. They explained some of the arcane description codes on the parts lists. And if their e-mail back in the morning confirms what I think, I'll be able to give you the part numbers for a complete... -
Air intake
Hey, don't feel like the Lone Ranger. Remember, I bought one of those too - then a couple months later have my friend relate the mining company story, and then see all the dirt and other crap it'd let thru into my carb and intake manifold, on that little 1.8 L four banger in the Subaru. IOW...- retmil46

k&n vs amsoil
My suggestion to the OP would be to run a good quality paper filter for now - NAPA Wix is the best IMHO, way more pleats than the OEM filter, and heck, they even carry them on Amsoil's website - save your pennies, and then buy an Amsoil EAA synthetic OEM-size filter if you wish. The stock V6...- retmil46

Air intake
Ehhh, could be. That, and the pine needles that were sticking halfway thru the cotton. With only one vehicle presently, I can't afford to have an air filter thats not up to the task of handling whatever conditions I might run into. Air filters are cheap. Engines aren't.- retmil46

Air intake
Well, if you're doing mainly on-road/highway driving, might be OK. If you're going down dirt roads/offroad, where you'll encounter a lot of dust....:shrug: One friend up south of Austin is originally from Wyoming. He related how the maintenance foreman for one mining company out there tried...- retmil46

Air intake
Nothing personal, but I'd as soon stuff an old t-shirt in the filter housing, as run a K&N filter on ANY engine.:favorites68: I actually tried one years ago, on an 87 Subaru wagon I had. Blasted thing let so much dirt thru it wasn't funny. OTOH, have had good results with an Amsoil...- retmil46

Gentlemen, Take Off Your Mufflers!!!!!
Exactly. Several CRD owners have simply straight-piped the beast. Some have even went as far as to "gut the cat" and leave the housing in place - little bit radical for my taste, I'd like to make sure it'd pass inspection if they get really snotty about diesels. Same with having something...- retmil46

In-Radiator Tranny Cooler AND Standalone?
Along the line of extra tranny coolers, radiators, and cooling in general, if you've got any friends with JK Wranglers - This past weekend, I and my friend just south of Austin (2011 Wrangler Unlimited Sport) tried a little experiment, and discovered a dirty little secret - The viscous...- retmil46

Radiator Fan Troubleshooting
Try www.rockauto.com . Looks like they have a few choices - but again, you'll have to call and ask - no indication if they're one or two speed.- retmil46

Gentlemen, Take Off Your Mufflers!!!!!
Arise Lazarus, your 5 year old thread has been resurrected!:gr_grin: Even a Schlitz beer can would be an improvement over the Chrysler stock muffler. That's the first mod I ever did to my KJ CRD - not two weeks after picking it up, ditching the stock muffler and putting in an Aeroturbine...- retmil46

Mechanical Fan on JK's?
I've got a friend with a 2011 Wrangler Unlimited. He mentioned where he'd seen on another Wrangler forum that outside of the U.S. they sold JK's with the standard electric fan AND a mechanical fan with a viscous clutch. He was interested in this given the complaints with the U.S. JK's - tranny... -

Jeep Pickup Kit
Friend in Charlotte sent me a link to a recent article - basically, no new vehicles for now from Jeep - all their resources are tied up supporting Fiat's current plans - no money or personnel for new projects.- retmil46

LRR tires such as Mich Latitude Tour or General Grabber HTS?
Agreed. It's called an "Italian tuneup". Give it a good workout, get everything good and hot, blow out the carbon and cook all the moisture and condensation out of the oil, gets all the seals properly lubricated. Driving like grandpa all the time is almost as bad as excessive idling. Or driving...- retmil46

Autel MaxiTrip™ TP100 4-in-1 Auto Computer
Whatever you do, DO NOT use a Scangauge II on a CRD - unless you want to end up rebuilding your tranny!!! I tried using one on a trip between NC and TX 3 or 4 years ago. Five or six times during that trip, I'd be cruising along at 70 mph, and all of a sudden there would be a huge WHAMMM that...- retmil46

LRR tires such as Mich Latitude Tour or General Grabber HTS?
Way back when in the mid-90's, I was involved with the hobbyist electric vehicle crowd - ones that take a used pickup or car and convert it over to electric on their own - and they were into LRR tires big time. At one of their meets, I spoke with a gent that worked for Goodyear about LRR...- retmil46

AC recharge
Agreed. That's why it's important to use a set of manifold gages, to read low and high pressure, and do the system performance check in the FSM - to determine if you have too little, too much, or the right amount - if the right amount and you're still having issues with your A/C system, then you...- retmil46

In-Radiator Tranny Cooler AND Standalone?
Hmmm, a thought occurred to me last night - Seems I remember seeing some add-on engine oil or tranny coolers for racing applications, that were water cooled - such that you could tie them into the vehicle's cooling system. Jegs and Summit carry radiator hose adapters, basically a short...- retmil46

AC recharge
Agreed. Also, if you pop the hood, the sticker on the radiator crossbrace lists not only the type and amount of freon for a full charge in the system, it also lists the type and amount of oil needed as well, depending on which type compressor you have - there's two listed on the sticker on my 05...- retmil46
