    Oil change!

    I agree............change it when it makes you feel best. I *think* this is turning into a hair splitting session. My 2007.5 Dodge RAM 3500 w/6.7L Cummins (12 qt capacity) gets good ol' John Deere CI4+ 0W40 Synthetic every 8k miles or so. A few parts fell off of the RAM 3500, so I don't have...

    Below $3.00 diesel

    $2.899/gal at Speedway in Berea, KY at Exit 76 and Interstate I-75. Just last weekend I was ecstatic to get #2 for $3.159/gal at the same place......It was really difficult to squeeze $61.00 in the ol' CRD. The 2007.5 RAM 3500 MegaCab loves these cheap diesel prices, too....never thought...

    Diff Fluid Change

    Maybe all that torque from the 2.8L CRD is too tough on the Corporate 8.25" Rear. Greg

    HOW TO: Install Sirius Starmate

    Remove the 3rd brake light and you'll soon see what a breeze it is to route. I ran mine down the passenger side, all the way to the A-pillar, and then through the side of the dash. Greg

    Just got off the telephone with my Service Advisor. Seems as if my CRD Limited is getting yet another torque convertor. This one will be #3.......two within 3 or 4 days of each other. I was told it should be ready Tuesday. I said something to the effect "that Tech is gonna love doing this...

    torque converter F37 recall 2005/2006 2.8l CRD liberty

    Well, the wife took our Limited CRD in early Tuesday for the F37. They gave her an '06 Dodge Caravan as a loaner for the day (we live 26 miles from the dealer). The dealership called back at the end of day stating it was ready, but we were unable to pick it up as our 5 year old daughter had...

    Diesel Detergents ??

    I use Power Service Products (white bottle) particularly in the winter months. http://www.powerservice.com/ It's readily available at WalMart, Tractor Supply Co., and most truckstops (Love's , Flying J)....etc. My CRD gets around 8 ozs. every tank. Greg

    Wonderful Fuel Mileage to Myrtle Beach, SC..................

    Wonderful Fuel Mileage to Myrtle Beach, SC..................

    Well, the Liberty Limited 4x4 CRD proved itself very fuel efficient on the way to and from Myrtle Beach, SC this year (we've always taken my 2003 RAM 2500, but opted to take the Liberty CRD this year). On our way back, the EVIC showed 30.2 mpg which translated to a hand-calculated 29.8...

    Slade, KY 7/15 before closure?

    That's right in my back door......too bad I'm heading to Myrtle Beach, SC the 14th ! Can't wait to see what the ol' CRD will do on the road with 17k on the clock now. Really looking forward to checking out the MPG on a looooong trip. Greg

    HOW TO: Liberty CRD 2.8L Fuel Filter Pics & Changing Ins

    My 2005 Jeep Liberty Limited 4x4 CRD has 17,623 miles on the clock as of today and it's time for its 3rd oil change (I've been on about a 5700 to 6000 mile drain interval or so). The fuel filter has a recommended replacement interval of 25k miles, but I really don't want to stretch it that...
