    Dealer Over Filled The Engine Oil !

    Even Caterpillar, arguably one of the best engine manufacturers around suggest calibrating the dip stick/engine oil volume by MEASUREMENT to verify the dipstick markings. The procedure is posted on the web. It is a big contributor to foaming in the CRD's and how clean your puck etc runs...

    oil consumption

    My 06 2.8 crd has no significant oil use to speak of. I have done a sort - of calibration check of my dipstick for an ideal level - if your not sure how, maybe have a look at some Caterpillar sites - CAT always recommend calibration of the sump / dipstick. My KJ stays just a tick below the...

    Map sensor cleaning

    I just read the thread and I think there is some confusion here. I hope this helps: Beetlemn73, I could be wrong but I am pretty sure the ORM is the Off Road Modification which is a trick circuit to trick the ECU into thinking the MAF sensor has been connected from start-up as some like to...

    Help: Old tensioner vs. New tensioner

    I'm with you. Considerably less revs with that difference in O.D. gone. Load might be a good deal more even and arc of contact will also be better (even though it isn't a driver) now as the PCD of each pulley is a lot closer. The whole thing should be more stable (I would think). Auberon

    Rear Swing Gate....HELP!!!!

    If you do consider a proper fix, Before you touch it up (the swing gate that is) I am quite sure that the stiffener runs immediately behind that plate you show in you pics. There is little at the ding. I would seriously try getting what I could to pop back out - I am aware there is s slight...

    Squeak that won't go away

    Hi ShafferNY, Not a problem at all. Any chance you have a real mechanics stethoscope. That is how I find many of these issues. I have tried the old screwdriver trick but nothing beats a proper stethoscope. There's really not too much to do it in the UCA's except the bushes. Just came to me...

    Fuel saving suggestions.

    MMMMh I remember the imperial gallon of milk...WAS GOOD. OK that dates me. It's just that we (here) should be using liters but if people miss this cos they have grown up on the metric system and read your figures in gallons,put it into the figures you guys get, well they poop themselves...

    No intent to rob the thread but: being from the bush in Australia the first time I saw "that" avatar I saw it as one angry mongrel merino ram.....especially with the wrinkles on his nose.:eek: That old ink blot syndrome? :rolleyes::D As we go all over the world, we need to keep in the...

    Fuel saving suggestions.

    Tis interesting for sure, Only one problem with hypermiling - it is hypopower, hypotorque but I say each to their own. Some people get real kicks from truly amazing figures. On the same bent, How much does a true wheel alignment gain you in terms of reducing rolling resistance....some of...

    You do know you folks are flying in the face of the designers.:D I remember reading in that @#$#%^! manual that they chose the original suspension height for aesthetics. Go figure. Auberon

    Hello ShafferNY. Sorry for the length of this post but it might of help, sometime, with luck. Apologies for the spelling it is 0600 here & have not been asleep yet. I went through the same - when you think about it is still metal to metal and seems to be coming from there. I think at times...

    the jeep and water fording

    Sorry for the length of this post. You may have noticed some of those "how to" replacements of cv joints and that horrid emulsions that have formed in them. It takes the relatively tiniest hole to allow heaps of water in when the very hot air contracts suddenly to form an emulsion and wreck...

    You are not alone. Add 1 more to that tally of PROUD preventative maintenance "nuts". I am an extreme believer in the doctrine of the God of Preventative Maintenance. Cheers Auberon

    Map sensor cleaning

    Air sensors are at a minimum cleaned on my vehicle every air filter service interval. Others items are being added to the routine that are not cited in the standard schedules to further bomb-proof this excellent truck. It is my firm belief (somewhat qualified by experience with heavy duty...
