    What did you sell or trade to get your KJ?

    What I traded in I had a "73 Chevy C-30 with a Perkins 354 Turbo engine I transplanted. To get the gears in line, I had a Doug Nash (now US Gear) electric over drive behind the 4 speed Muncie transmission with a 3.73 rear end. To hold up the front end with that heavy engine, I put in the...

    HD Cooling kit

    Guess the Chrysler Bean Counters became Diamond Makers where they swallow a Lump Of Coal Santa Gave them and got a Diamond out the other end :happy175::happy175::happy175: Is there any reason a mechanical fan can't be mounted on the front of the engine with only the electric fan?

    HD Cooling kit

    Try the Hayden Severe Duty Fan Clutch If you have a gasser, you should already have the 11 blade plastic fan and only need the Hayden severe duty fan clutch. If you have a CRD, replace the metal fan with the 11 blade plastic fan and go for the Hayden severe duty fan clutch...

    New To The Forums, quick question

    Watch out for some mods promising fuel economy The best way to improve your fuel economy other than controlling your right foot, is to shut off the EGR. Some tunes shut off the light and reduce the EGR, but don't get rid of it. The SEGR developed by TurboTim (Google TurboTim-SEGR) is the best...

    Flash a 45RFE to a 545RFE- Anyone done it?

    2003 5.7L Hemi Dodge Ram 1500 TCM in '06 CRD Ranger1 provided me with the master list of TCMs and PCMs and I plowed through it, then I read a lot of posts on TCM swaps. My 2003 5.7L Hemi Dodge Ram 1500 TCM took a lot of time to train in the slow learn mode to get where it is today. Since the...

    Rear parking brake pop rivets failed, how to fix

    I was on your island a few years ago, they ever catch the illegal drug makers that trashed out the sewer pipes with Hydrogen Sulfide? Wrought iron pipe should last fifty years, it corroded in less than five years from the H2S. That crap can destroy even 316 stainless steel and makes road salt...

    Rear parking brake pop rivets failed, how to fix

    Five years of road salt did it. Rotors were much worse than the backing plate.

    Rear parking brake pop rivets failed, how to fix

    ??????? Might want to edit so we can understand you comment. Corrosion on the backing plate is normal for the Salt Belt Midwest, even 304 stainless Steel gets rusty. As much as I rip Bean Counter Engineers, I don't want to think of how much it would cost to make everything out of 316 stainless...

    Rear parking brake pop rivets failed, how to fix

    I had to replace my rear rotors that were suffering from a bad case of rust where chunks were falling off and the brakes pulsed every time I stopped. The rotors were so bad that the drum would not clear the parking brakes and the aluminum pop rivets had all the heads pop off on one side and 2...

    Swapped V6 Fan for CRD Metal Fan

    Got my fan and Hayden clutch installed. Once I ponied up for the NAPA fan clutch tool kit, the fan clutch cam off. The socket in the bolt hole, or hitting the wrench with a hammer trick did not work. AC works much better in hot weather than ever before.

    alternator problem

    Have an electrical shop check the alternator brushes. If the brushes are worn badly, they will not send enough current to the rotor to get the voltage out of the stator, even if the voltage regulator in the ECM is sending out the current. Also check the wire on the back of the alternator that...

    FCV failure in Jeep Liberty 2.8 CRD ' 2006 (it isn´t the plastic gear)

    The purpose of the FCV is to create a vacuum and allow the Engine to suck in the exhaust through the EGR. The EGR is to comply with legislation created by corrupt political leaders (left and right) who are fishing for campaign contributions. If the FCV is stuck open, so what. Best yet, un bolt...

    Timming Belt Change and Service Intervals

    Some truth on T belt intervals & Oil recommendations With quite a few gong over 100,000 miles and replacing the timing belts here in the US, the 100,000 Mile change interval looks good to me. Timing belts are much better quality in both design and materials than they were 20 years ago. Since...

    Swapped V6 Fan for CRD Metal Fan

    Another good app for the 11 blade plastic fan would be high altitude in hot weather. True it drops 3F for every 1,000 ft, but when you are pulling a load up a steep long grade, there is more heat generated and having more air molecules go past the radiator/intercooler/trans cooler/fuel cooler...

    Fuel Filler Neck Strainer

    My Generac Generator has a mesh bucket strainer. The mesh looks very fine and for our application 80 or 100 mesh should be fine enough so it does not mess up lift pumps. Any debris that passes through the lift pump and line should be stopped by the fuel filter. If we go to a mesh that is too...

    New fuel filter head

    I unplug the relay in the fuse box, looks better to Idiots that way, don't want any Brain Stem thinking I am bypassing emissions stuff, even though the fuel heater does nothing regarding emissions. I am sure flman will agree, there are sensible regulations and there are regulations conceived...

    P0234,bad turbo?

    Check to make sure the veins are free and not stuck. VW has been using the ~same type turbo for years (my Wife's 99 TDI has one too) and there have been cases of stuck veins. People have freed them up with penetrating oil. One thing I have noticed when towing is that if I use the cruse going up...

    No code on bad glow plug strange & wierd

    No code on bad glow plug strange & weird I had the symptoms of a bad glow plug, rough start, with no codes being generated. I checked the glow plugs with a VOM and one of them #3 acted like a capacitor when tested for the resistance. Like a capacitor the resistance reading would show on the...
