No, I live near DC. Not to much in the way of good diesel techs that I've found. The dealers have been Surprisingly unknowledgeable.

It's quite unfortunate that we need to understand electronics to repair a modern diesel. Life should be simpler than that 
But never forget, what usually goes wrong is not the engine but what is forced to go with it.

Performance Exhausts and chips for CRD

I have a 2006 Liberty CRD. I have been following some of these postings. I drive 25 miles round trip to work. I have followed a posting for the ORM"off road mode" I did that to my CRD and have been averaging 19mpg in the winter and 20mpg in the summer. I did notice that my boost sensor doesn't get dirty any more which I enjoy. I hated taking it out every oil change to clean it.
I have not done anything else to my CRD, but this summer I want to change things up to see if I can get better MPG out of it. Does anyone know about a good performance chip and exhaust that works on a CRD? I would like to hear from people that have actually did the work on their CRD and have hard evidence that the changes have increased the MPG. Thanks

I have a 2006 and average 24 mpg . My jeep was one of the last models made and must have had the work required by the " F37 recall" done at the factory. I believe the results of the F37 left a lot of discreprancy between the individual liberty shift ranges and therefore a lot gas mileage differance between vehicles. I am wondering what the mpg would be if the original settings intended for the liberty were used ?
Has any one changed their liberty back to original settings? My jeep shifts into final lock up at 64 mph and out at 61 . If I am reading the factory manual correctly this lock up was intended to occur at 50 mph before the F37 .

I've read your problem. Have someone put that vehicle on a hoist and check all your wiring harness es before you spend all that money. If your turbo was bad it wouldn't just stop being defective. This is a fly by wire set up. You made one comment that makes alot of sense. It only happens when it is raining or wet, follow that lead before you sink too much money into it. A throttle position sensor can cause what your experiencing which will clear up after the moisture dries up. I had a problem after the dealer did the torque converter change. They damaged the harness causing some shorting when it got wet. I repaired it myself. That was at 28K. The last time the dealer touched my 05CRD was then. I now have 94K on this beast. Runs better then when it was new with no problems. I will be changing the timing belt and overhauling the turbo and water pump at the same time. The kit to rebuild this turbo is about $150, water pump about $75. Dam good vehicle if you don't shotgun the repairs and know what your doing. Also: "Don't flush this trans!!"
Just change the filter and fluids.

Interesting thing, mine ran great for 3-4 months while the weather was cold (Canada),,,,,all of a sudden with a warm up of temperature, the jerking started up again, if it is torque convertor or trans or EGR I'm not sure.
Any ideas on this? Thanks for sharing all the info, it's great and I can't wait to get mine into the garage and start working on it. Would do better if I could fine a manual to go along with it though.
Thanks

Why?

you may have to reflash after replacing fluid but probably not we dont flush here but unhook cooling line and let the converter pump out the fluid been doing it that way for almost thirty years never had a problem
