Just have your friendly local Jeep dealer run a full "VIP" report (from the VIN). It usually includes the name and phone number of a previous owner. However, some dealers may have a problem with giving out the owner information. My suggestion is to focus on wanting the build info, service...

Ditto what previous poster said. I'm also in Mass. You can register ANY diesel vehicle in Mass as long as it has at least 7500 miles on it. (We picked up our '05 Liberty, used, in Kansas.) Only the '05s were available with a rear limited slip ("TrakLoc"), but many do not have it. You...

The application is a stock ride height KJ CRD 4X4 used for street trans and towing a 5K horse trailer. (I've used Bilsteins in countless street and racecars for decades, but they don't always get the valving quite right.) Comments? Thanks, DOC

Anyone tried the Bilstein D916/917 HOs in a KJ? The application is a stock ride height KJ CRD 4X4 used for street trans and towing a 5K horse trailer. (I've used Bilsteins in countless street and racecars for decades, but they don't always get the valving quite right.) Comments...

CRD Mileage Drop Removing the VH relay from the fuse box is definitely the way to go. No codes appear to have been set and we got an instant 4-6 MPG improvement. Grill blanket just arrived. Have to see how it works out. DOC

I'm a vintage racecar guy and am not familiar with 21st century whizbang electrical components. I have been trying to disconnect the viscous heater power supply on our 2005 CRD, but am apparently too stupid to figure out how to release the connector. It looks like it has a simple enough orange...

Poor CRD Fuel mileage in cold weather Had a chance to discuss the "viscous heater" with our local Jeep diesel tech in Lincoln, RI. He believes that the purpose of this device is ONLY to generate additional cabin heat more rapidly and has NOTHING to do with the needs of the engine for...

Lower CRD Mileage in cold weather CATCRD, I ordered one of the Fia grill "blankets" as you use. I gather you run with the "vents" in the fully "closed" position during the winter and disable the viscous heater. Correct, or??? Any problem with this other than possibly extending initial...

CRD Mileage Drop CATCRD, Thanks! Your response clearly fits the facts that the other folks don't seem to have grasped since we have consistently been seeing this effect over and over ON THE SAME TANK OF FUEL. So, clearly, it's NOT a function of winter diesel. (BTW, it's my understanding...

CRD Fuel Mileage Guess you missed it. Same tank of fuel, same everything except ambient temp. Mileage on a day when ambient is 42F or above is 24-26. When temps drop below that, say the next day, mileage drops to 20-21. Thanks, DOC

We have had our '05 CRD Liberty for a year now and have noticed a consistent, 4-5 MPG drop when ambient temps go below 42 deg F (from 24-26 down to 20-21 in mixed driving). This is after full warm-up, so this eliminates the usual cold weather effect of richer running until full operating temp...

CRD in NY Massachusetts has the same emissions standards as NY and CA. New diesel passenger vehicles have not been sold here since 2004. (Light trucks are sold new with diesels.) However, you can register any diesel passenger (any year) vehicle in Mass as long as it has at least 7500 miles...

Recently bought a 2005 CRD. Seller was supposed to supply manuals. Finally got a gas owner's manual (CRDs are back-ordered 8 weeks at Helm), but other than mentioning a navigation system, there are no instructions. Jeep dealer says no instructions exist. I searched this site (perhaps...

Please contact me via email if you have one for sale or would like to trade for a chrome one. Thanks, DC

We are buying a 2005 CRD Liberty. The DVD for the Nav system is missing and there is only one key. Anyone have either of these for sale? Can a non-remote key be used? (Please use email in profile.) Thanks, DOC

Looking for one at less than full retail of $499. Please reply to email in profile. Thanks, DOC
