    Food for thought

    According to one self-proclaimed "expert" in this thread, some KJ components are heavier duty - or was that just blowing smoke for the sake of argument?:^o

    Food for thought

    Any of the heavier duty parts will need to be swapped in, then - not only is the V8 heavier, it wouldn't be very functional if the extra power ripped anything loose first time the extra ponies were unleashed Intent of adding the turbo to the V6 would be more low-end torque for towing...

    Food for thought

    Intent is: altering the engine supports in the cradle is not much price to pay to get the HD stuff under the heavier, more powerful V8 - plus the steering knuckles and associated componentry is hd - better to do it during the swap rather than find out on the trail that you should have done it

    Food for thought

    Good post - thanks for that input - also, the V8 may be an alternate choice, but you'd need the engine cradle and front suspension components from the KJ CRD, all heavier duty componentry necessary to support the heavy Diesel engine

    Ah, confusion, contentious conflict and chaos - my work here is done.............. So, ok, my bad on several points - musta had too much eggnog - the 3.7L 90* DCJ V6 is obviously not just an upsized 60* Mitsu V6 - it is close enuff in displacement to use one of the Mitsu turbos for mild power...

    Think you're confusing the 45RFE 5sp auto with the 42, 46, 47 Rx 3sp with o\d series - the 45 is a 4sp or 5sp based on TCM programming - takes a simple reflash to convert it - you are right, and my bad on the 42RLE as it has no bands, unlike the 727 concatenations - I was, of course, thinking...

    Food for thought

    The 3.7 is a reliable engine - it is powerful and fuel efficient for it's size because the 2v\cyl heads breathe excellently, also making the engine a perfect candidate for turbo-charging - don't believe it? - millions have been sold in single and dual-turbo versions: check out all the...

    Ha!!!

    Yep - those, and all the nobility prancing around on deck(s) for the gala wetting of the bow - too much fun, indeed...............

    Ha!!!

    Fuel mileage variation is directly inversely-proportional to application of the right foot - The first Isuzu Trooper was hideously ugly, with it's huge green-house stacked onto the Jeep Wrangler lower dimensions - the designers(?) had obviously emulated the wheel-house on the Titanic, such...

    Ha!!!

    It is to laff - I'm also a frustrated stand-up comic................

    Ha!!!

    This KJ is entirely rolling R&D, so the ET module must needs remain in place for the duration - I haven't driven it enuff to clearly distinguish\differentiate the various improvements, so I'll need more cockpit time to get a feel for what's hot and what snot - f'rinstance, the Transgo FUN...

    Ha!!!

    No CEL\DTC - it's transparent to current emissions testing - if dealer reflashes during a recall, INMOTION will reflash your upgrade for free - I do b'lieve there are dyno results on that website

    Ha!!!

    Folks, I just nailed the CRD a couple or several times with the just-installed INMOTION ST-II reflash, EDGE TRAIL switched OFF, Transgo switched to FUN, and Suncoast TC: still not as fast as my Dodge, but very respectable - I'd say prolly frightening to most people, compared to oem stock -...

    Fyi

    Correct, and I agree: CRD systems have infinitely finer control over the entire injection event compared to mech-injected systems, incl those early EFI\mech systems - therefore you will seldom see white vapors from non-ignited fuel in a CRD system - at hi-rpm you will get increased heat (and...

    Ford officially sanctions the Provent system as a dealer-install option, meaning it conforms to EPA regs and will pass EPA-mandated DOT inspections - use 'em if ya got 'em................
  17. G

    Fyi

    Remembering lessons learned when lighting the ole BBQ pit\grill: - add too much igniter fluid on barely lit coals and you get white vapors = too much fuel lowers temperature below combustion level, fuel never reaches ignition temperature but is above vapor point temperature - add too much...

    What did you sell or trade to get your KJ?

    My sanity..............
