Replying to: dataman (Mar 13, 2009 9:54 pm) With all the forum arround I can not believe that you all have this issues. With about $3,500 you can resolve all of this issues and be a happy motoring. EGR---SEGR Fuel filter---Ranco Cac---Samco Tranny--- Suncoast Fluid pump----New Pump Air in fuel----fuel pump No power---Inmotion and so on. All of this is a thing of the Past; My friend CRD have 155k and all this work he did it at about 20k and ever since he has no problem and my ether. So get in to the ball. |

Replying to: nicku812 (Mar 15, 2009 8:12 am) As to the EGR valve, I had the original one replaced at 14K miles. Now have 48K on the Jeep and no heartburn from the replacement. But I do beat on the engine at least once daily (when thoroughly warm) as Caribou has suggested in the past. Have done the torque converter recall and have replaced one since then. I do not tow! If the TC fails again, then I will put in something better (Suncoast or other) plus the Transgo transkit and that will be the end of that.

Replying to: winter2 (Mar 15, 2009 6:36 pm) There is something I don't clearly understand: Some folks find air bubbles in the fuel filter housing  - When I turn the engine OFF, I can still hear the sound of my (electrical) fuel priming pump for about one second after the engine died. This means the filter is pressurized at this point. - I tend to start the engine 'a bit later', never immediately after the glow plug indicator turns off. I don't know at which moment the fuel priming pump is turned ON, but any delay at this point could cause air bubbles to get trapped by cavitation created by the fuel injection pump . What do you think?

Replying to: caribou1 (Mar 16, 2009 2:14 am) Like Winter2 I have had no problems. After a fuel filter change and priming I can never take an additional pump on the primer because it is solid no matter how long the vehicle sits without running. Anyone who can pump their primer on a daily basis has an air leak somewhere.

Replying to: winter2 (Mar 15, 2009 6:36 pm) As a clarification for anyone reading this, you do not need to run you engine wide open through the gears to do this. You can do every thing that the EGR valve and the turbo need in 3rd gear lockup saving the transmission and the torque converter.

Replying to: siberia (Mar 16, 2009 3:36 am) Have you heard the little 'humm' coming from underneath the vehicle just after stopping the engine? |

Replying to: caribou1 (Mar 17, 2009 5:31 am) You might be hearing the turbo control valve as it hums as it adjusts the vacuum to the turbo vanes. |

Replying to: siberia (Mar 16, 2009 3:47 am) I follow Caribou's method of clearing the EGR by turning off the overdrive, stomping on the gas from a dead stop or near dead stop and running the speed to 100 KPH and holding it there for a about ten to twenty seconds. If I fail to clear the EGR for a week or when traffic has been especially bad, then sometimes I must do the aforementioned procedure twice to clear out any accumulated soot. |
