What's the fuel head look like? plastic or metal? The first thing you do is change the fuel filter - if it has a plastic head - that needs to change - they have a new style. if you've got the metal version - then changing the filter may be enough (I think the metal ones were only on the 2.5 -...

the biggest problem with the CRD from day one has been the lack of maintenance techs who know anything at all about them. FYI part numbers (and MoparParts America prices) filter only 52129238AA list $41.35 discount $29.02 old style head - mislabeled 52129237AA list $164.00 discount...

Try this http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=98&t=35702 Mopar filter should be about $30 if they tell you $115 - they're adding the filter head (the parts diagram is mislabeled) you can also get a WIX filter ~$25-$30

Yeah - it tends to be related to fuel problems, on mine it was a bad tank of fuel - lots of powerservice and a filter change and it got better. So change the fuel filter first and see if it repeats you can also get the same effect from air-in- fuel - which is the fuel head (where the filter...

Did you see a gas mileage difference running retreads vs non-retreads? heavier normally means more energy to start and stop.

It looks like it's charging to a voltage - not a current - so if you have the demand the alternator should go to max.

Yeah - I can try slow for a little while - but then you get down to I10 from San Antonio to El Paso - 500 miles and the scenery's really interesting for oh - at least 10 minutes - and then you realize why the limit's 80mph - and the little diesel loves to run ....and I'm not into Hypermiling.

The Scangauge works intermittently, normally about 15-20 minutes, occasionally much longer and then it locks up - doesn't come back until you turn the engine off/on, The main point is never use cruise control with the Scangauge plugged in - it overloads the buss, confuses the computer and...

Geeesh - so much hostility, Joe likes his Jeep and he likes good mileage - why is that a problem? if the mirrors really bother you - you can get motorcycle sport mirrors that meet the laws - they're standard for hypermiler folks. Diesel additives are to improve the Cetane rating - it always...

I have real problems with that one.......

"(I dabble in a little ....... manipulation...)" - as do most Women but they seldom admit to it. Oh, Oh - you meant the photos??? - well they're pretty good too. they're all impressive from a travel standpoint, it looks like a lot of fun. but if you're trying to do a more artistic view - I...

Eastwood has a Rust converter - I think it turns it to a phospate that stops the oxidation (but you then have to prime and paint it) http://www.eastwood.com/rust-solutions/treatment/eastwood-rust-converter.html

It's simple if you've watched someone do it - however with the Warning - the amount of energy stored in the spring - can cause a lot of damage if you use a compressor improperly and it slips - you can break things and people. If there's any question - it's worth the $40-50 to take the strut...

It sounds like you may have some shorts in the steering column. I can jumper a line to make a non-computer car start - but you're pulling wires and shorting them together - hot to ignition - your Cherokee may be doing that by itself - I'd start measuring resistance to ground on any wire in the...

When tires are cold - raise to max pressure - draw chalk like across tire - drive forward 4-5 wheel revolutions, inspect chalk - if it's worn from the center - but visible on edges - lower pressure - repeat chalk/inspect until chalk mark disappears all the way across the tire at the same time...

OME's

How cold is it? The 545 won't shift into overdrive 4 or 5 if it's cold (and make sure you didn't bump the overdrive off button)

The big deal at 100,000 is the timing belt - if you do not have information - odds are the previous owner chose to trade it instead of do the work. - since you'll have it apart - you should change the waterpump at the same time. This is the list LOST was putting together...
