#10176 of 10698 Re: EGR Problems averted.. [nescosmo] by winter2 Sep 01, 2008 (11:08 am)
Replying to: nescosmo (Aug 31, 2008 12:24 pm) Interesting solution, but are you asking for trouble? I can see where the Provent might be helpful, but disconnecting the MAF sensor? What problem have you had with Shell diesel? I use it frequently and I have not had a single issue. What have you run into for issues with Shell fuel? The addition of two cycle oil? If things run more smoothly, then it must be improving the cetane of the fuel.   As to the oil vapor problem, I am running Amsoil 15W-40 full synthetic. It specs out like Mobil 1 5W-40 except the vaporization rate is lower. I also clean the boost sensor every 5,000 miles as well as the hose from the CAC to the engine. There is barely any oill film in it when I clean the hose. As to fuel, I prefer to go to busy truck stops when travelling long distances. I generally use Pilot or Love's stops. They are always busy. I also add cetane improver and detergent or try to find a station that sells B5 or B20. The closer I get the cetane to 51 to 54, the smoother and quieter the engine runs, plus FE goes up. I blow the engine's nose twice weekly and that helps alot too. Replies to this message: nescosmo (Sep 14, 2008 9:57 pm) winter2 (Sep 16, 2008 3:07 pm)

Replying to: winter2 (Sep 01, 2008 11:08 am) I notice that after I install the Master E8012S fuel pump I do not have to clean the nose on my CRD. Seem to me that air bubbles in the fuel have to do something with the carburation in the injectors causing the smoke that we persive. Something to think about it.   Nescosmo.

Replying to: mike6206 (Aug 24, 2008 4:39 pm) The used kleenex disappeared from our little stuffing places and was found under the plastic shroud when I was inspecting. It was the whitest mouse nest I've ever seen. We have a lake place and the abundant mice will invade the auto but rarely make it to the city home. Thanks for the info, I will now check the wiring thoroughly and inspect more often. - JP

Purchased new which promised 22 - 29mpg. Typically got 20. However I moved to a small town and in the last 9 months, I've been driving mostly short distances within 2 miles. I fill the tank about once a month. Went from 20mpg down to 10 mpg. Spewing black smoke whenever gunning accelerator. When idling, the running sound switches every 5 seconds. Dealerships not helpful at all. Brand new oil and fuel filters. Drove for 4 hours to blow out/clean injectors. No difference. Will have the injectors checked and cleaned if necessary, will also check: mass air flow sensor, particulate filter, and EGR valve. Please, can anyone offer advice before I take it in yet again? Mechanics here don't seem to know a whole lot about diesels. South Bay, Southern California. Thanks.

#10182 of 10698 Belt Squeak by zeller Sep 16, 2008 (3:57 am)
My '05 ha s been making a pesky belt squeaking noise. Brought it to the dealer (Island Jeep in Lindenhurst NY). They said it needed a belt, $250 later, it still squeaks! Brought it back, they said it needs an alternator $700! Yeah right! My mom & pop mechanic says it's a belt tensioner. Not to be a sucker twice, my feeling is to try the tensioner. Someone out there must have had the same problem. Any help? Bill Z in NY Replies to this message: caribou1 (Sep 16, 2008 12:58 pm) nescosmo (Sep 16, 2008 2:11 pm)

Replying to: carlottagood (Sep 16, 2008 2:49 am) I had a similiar issue and after a long high speed run with a low sulfur diesel additive in the tank, the problem disappeared and has not come back. I suggest the use of an additive.
#10184 of 10698 To get rid of biack smoke ;-) by johnhayworth Sep 16, 2008 (7:30 am)
Drive on a HWY 25 to 50 miles. In light or no traffic slow down and then put the pedal to de metal. Rapid acceleration will give a puff of black smoke that will fade as you pull away.. Do this every month. Do not be temmid.. The smoke and sludge will be blown away.. Diesels need this to keep clean. OK
