I forgot to mention that I also started using a powerful magnet placed on the outside of my oil filter as an extra precaution. I found this recommendation on a big web site dedicated to Engine Oil with a heavy degree of detail. I can't say it has helped, but it certainly can not hurt. I took the magnets from an old computer Hard Drive, but I plan to buy some at Radio Shack for my other vehicles.

As to the oil you use, that is a personnel choice. I have no love for Mobil 1. They have not kept up with technology changes. There are better oils out there that will not contribute to system carbon buildup. I like Red Line 5W-40. I have had no oil consumption issues and I have less soot buildup.
 
Additives are helpful, especially cetane improvers because domestic diesel fuel is so rotten.

Winter2,
 
Saw the post for the speaker question. Searched for a back up copy of my canadian sourced? cd shop manual. Probably gave that and the original away at the same time. Wish now I had sent it to you.
 
Checking in from time to time to see the results of your tire purchase. I was wrong about my cycle tires used years ago. Believe we went with metzler but avon was a brand chosen by others.
 
I believe redline 15w40 was in the crd when we traded it in. Can't find anything in the redline file and the huge crd file is long gone. I think that was the first time I talked to Dave but also it has been awhile since dfw flirted with zero degrees.

Final tire question, I hope... by winter2

I have done a fair amount of looking, touching, and questioning and now it comes down to size.
 
My CRD came with 225/75/16. Chrysler, Costco, and Tirerack does not show an optional size, however some local tire dealers have stated that a 235/70/16 and even a 245/70/16 tire will also fit without touching or hitting any of the suspension components. I am skeptical about sticking a 245 tire on the CRD but I would probably be content with the 235 tire. Most 225 tires are LT and that would make the ride too stiff.
 
All thoughts and opinions welcome.

I put 235/70/16s Coopers on mine and they fit great. They are the Discovery ATR and they have a very aggressive tread that does not sing and are warranted for 50000 miles.

EGR again..or transmission? by jr101

Well, only after 8 weeks from being in the shop, my little crd is back again. This is my 9th trip in less then 2 years. In Sept I replaced my 4th EGR and once again my engine light came on. Brough it back to the dealer, NOW they are saying my transmission is gone. I have about 62000 miles on it, bought the extended warrenty 2 years ago and I'm less than 2000 mile over it now. However, it is acting the exact same way it did when i hd to replace my 3 glow plugs - all they have done thus far is a basic diagnostic with their little machine...

Bad glow plug? by prairiegirl

Engine light came on - dealer says it is a bad glow plug. Shouldn't glow plugs last longer than this? I've only got 32,000 miles on my little '06 Liberty. Are glow plugs covered by my extended warranty?

Really experienced dealer by prairiegirl

Does anyone know of a really experienced Jeep diesel mechanic in the Tulsa area? Love my dealer in Claremore and have had very good experiences with other vehicles. But, they themselves admit they don't work on diesel Liberty very often.
