    Recall on 2005-06 CRD for transmission problems?

    Icing on the cake I for one, have hated the performance of the transmission/torque converter in my CRD since day one. I find the shift points to be suboptimal at best. At certain cruising speeds, you can feel the TC lock/unlock, downshift, lock, unlock, upshift, repeat. Not only are we...

    LBJ Recalls are in!

    done and done I had my CRD in yesterday to get a new battery (so called sealed, gel-filled Optima popped a cap and leaked acid.) I had them do the F21 recall (Body Control Module reprogramming). They looked up the LBJ, mine qualified, checked the play, replaced both (no free alignment) all by...

    05-06 LH Front Amber Turn Signal Lens

    Mine is a 2006 Limited. I believe that the '05 and '06 Limited or Sport will work. '04 and older is different and I'm not sure about the '05-'06 Renegade. Thanks for any help. Jeff.

    05-06 Paintable Grille Cover

    Wanted to buy: the painted Grille cover for my '06 Limited. Prefer to trade for my chrome one in great shape but will buy outright for cheap. Need to do some paint work on the front anyway, so color is not important. Jeff.

    05-06 LH Front Amber Turn Signal Lens

    Looking for a driver's side front turn signal lense (the long thin one in the bumper.) The wife traded paint with the garage door frame and busted the lense. Anyone that replaced with clears want to make me a deal? Jeff. Thanks for the responses, but I ended up buying a new replacement.

    Transmission Poll

    Slushbox (Auto.) The CRD is not available here with a manual gearbox. I've given it 7 months so far and I hate it (the transmission, not the Jeep.) It's always in the wrong gear and quite undecisive about locking/unlocking the torque converter too. It's a shame, because I like everything...

    Question for CRD Owners

    I've actually owned a couple of those VW Rabbit diesels. There's really no comparison. I remember driving in the bunny and the rear view mirror being so blurry from the rattling that you'd get a headache (like looking through someone elses eyeglasses.) Now, I actually like the diesel...

    What did you sell or trade to get your KJ?

    Traded in my 2004 Pontiac GTO. Gave up 350hp and a 6spd for the 160hp and a slushbox, but what are you going to do? Having a baby, sports car had to go. I really like the CRD, in a different way.
