    What Turbo for the CRD???

    Nfac, like Bill said, I have a friend with a CRD and one mechanic said he had a blown turbo when in fact it was a split in the CAC hose, that's why so many are going to the silicone hoses!

    Speaker re-surround

    surrounds Midmo sorry for the late reply, I don't know the answer to the question but simply speakers has a lot of answers. The main concern is not whether premium or not but the diameter of the surround and cleaning the old foam away with a good sharp exacto and getting the new one aligned as...

    Towing

    I know there is a lot of opinions on this and I figure the best way to tow is a complete drive-up trailer. But what about tow dollies. What special requirements or disassemblies are necessary for these. I have never towed a vehicle but am considering a slide in camper for my F350 dually so I...

    Q: towing with a KJ?

    Sound advice on the brake controller (your trailer must have electric brakes!) and od lockout. I tow this rig in Colo. and Az. and sometimes have a headwind with 7mi.& 7%grades.

    Advice sought: Recently bought CRD

    74 Ghia, just my thought, when ever there is concern for a motor's condition the first place to start is with a compression check. I have an 05 CRD but I'm sorry I don't have the numbers to give you , maybe someone has good compression specs!

    CRD Liberty losing power

    I almost had the same thing Bill but I got the little critter before he could do any real damage, nibbled on some split loom and I kept finding fragments of blue moving blanket material under the CRD shroud! And in agreement w/Bill I'd replace those hoses now w/the Samco.Cut loose of the...

    jeep 2.5 crd have to wait an hour after driving before it restarts

    Gareth, hello from the States. As most CRD owners will attest a filter can be contaminated with just one fill up if the stations tanks were low and drawing up crud/moisture. A year is not a long time necessarily but it depends how many miles you drove in that year and again if you drew some...

    Miyanovich sounds frustrating to say the least with that few miles. Do you think Samco may have a fit?

    Mystery sound - U-joint, differential???

    Revray, hard to say with without being there but I might suggest ,if possible, to elevate the rear end with jack stands and put it in gear so you can get a better grip on the matter, maybe something in the caliper?

    Diesel CRD Buy or not to buy

    Mr. Mopar, Like stated, the CRD's are not for the timid or un-inclined. To be truly happy with your CRD you must learn it inside and out. I have used mine for towing a home built trailer for my Polaris Ranger and I think the load must be in excess of 4000#. I'm going to the rock yard scale soon...

    How to get optimum fuel mileage?

    Feller, I think it's a matter of driving habit. Too conservative and you foul the system, over aggressive and you'll lose milage at the pump. Got to find a happy medium I think.

    Scan tool of choice?

    Thanks for the responses. It's the 05' CRD and yesterday Advance tried to read it with what looked like a lower caliber Actron. It wasn't specific but did mention the MAF. I'm getting ready to take it on it's 800 mi. one way voyage home to Az. and need a specific reading so I guess I have to...
