Replying to: winter2 (Jul 20, 2009 4:37 pm) Thank you. When the CRD was traded in, it was running redline. It was the best it ever ran. If it was you who first posted about bitog years ago - Thanks again. Saw the link to the amsoil gear test and talked to Dave about their response and he sent me an email. Redline in the H3 quieted the tire hum which was really the gm synthetic lube. Sorry couldn't get the answer to you sooner-just like now. Took early social security (check pays for the rubicon) but kept part/full temp technical position which went from - did the work go offshore to what the heck when can I sleep. Been posting in the jeep forum (and elsewhere and received a rightful post pulling), but try to check here for auld lang syne. If if wasn't for the CRD and going to the local dealer and meeting Sean (dealership got axed) I never would be in a rubicon now. It is weird, I like it more than the CRD even with it's fiberglass/plastic roof, basic doors, seats that feel like an old straight wooden chair with some foam. It has mirrors you adjust once with a finger push on the mirror and on and on. But is it is a disease? It has character it is almost as if it lets you take it where you want to go. I know the wobble will come and all that it just has something. Sorry for the rant but thought if you ever went looking for a test drive. If I remember correctly years ago you were moving to Florida or investigating a move. Still in the Metro area or is the South your new home?

Today I performed some maintenance on my CRD and made some interesting discoveries 1. Since I have started using Lubro Moly Super Diesel Additiv, my CRD has been running significantly better, with less noise, no smoke (much less) and increased FE (about 1 to 1.5 mpg). 2. I cleaned the boost pressure sensor, which I do every 5000 miles and there was significantly less soot on it than before starting the aforementioned additive. 3. The fuel filter, which has been in place since May 2008 was not particularly dirty. Instead of the filter element being black or dark brown, it was light gray in color. |

| Well, the 05 has been running great but, I'm on my 4th EGR valve. I also had the throttle body valve replaced( or whatever the proper term is ). I'm at 55K and the warranty runs out at 70K. I have stayed away from fuel additives that may void the warranty. What seemes to work the best?? | |

Replying to: firemedic44 (Aug 21, 2009 2:16 pm) Have you been "blowing the nose" of the EGR valve at least weekly to get rid of the carbon build up? Does your CRD see any highway driving? Does the tech who services your CRD clean out all of the passages to and from the EGR valve? Have you been cleaning the boost sensor in the intake manifold at least every 5000 miles? Additives are not the issue here. It is driving style and maintenance. I use A LiquiMoly fuel additive as well as an additive from RedLine to keep everything running up to snuff. Every so often, you need to flog this diesel to get rid of the carbon build up, otherwise you will be looking for problems. Several other owners of this vehicle do the same and the tech at the dealer I use says it is helpful. Domestic diesel fuel basically sucks and borders on being swill.
