Replying to: desmo750ss (Nov 03, 2009 10:01 am) Just wanted to let you know that I had the exact same problem with surging and smoking just this past Sunday. I looked at your post and saw that pulling the MAF helped, so I tied it because I knew I shouldn't drive it far in that condition. Then, I also had the sound of rushing air, but with some loss of power. The advice to keep the MAF unplugged for a few weeks just didn't sound right as most of the sensors are designed to work together. So I called my dealer and explained the probem and the first response was a booster hose. Took it in this AM and sure enough, the hose had a 4" gash. They replaced the hose, plugged the MAF back in, and its again running like a top. I have had very little trouble with my CRD and I think engine wise, other than the above, just a bad glow plug. If you can get service from a dealer that understands the product, problems are almost non-existant. I have several dealers closer to me than where I go for service. The place I go to is in a smaller "farming" area and sells a lot of diesel trucks, so working on diesels is second nature to them. I even go there routine oil changes and such. At times, I look around a these posts and really can't believe all of the gripes people have. The Liberty CRD was a very limited production vehicle over two model years, which was a well known and advertised (by Chrysler) fact. So one would have to assume--like computer software--version 1 is not going to be perfect. I'm hitting about 60K now and can't imagine not having my CRD. It was, in 2005, about the cleanest diesel on the road, gets better than advertised mileage, has the pulling power of a much larger vehicle, and real four-wheel drive to boot. An on top of that, it has never not started and run for me, even when having the above problem, I could count on it to run. |

Hi, I have an 02 European Cherokee (Liberty) and the front fog lamps aren't working. I've checked the fuse and that seems OK, I've also checked one of the bulbs and that seems fine too. My questions are: 1. If one bulb blows does that mean both lights won't work? If so, I'll check the other one too. 2. Are there any common wiring faults I should be aware of? The rear fog lamps works OK. We are having Autumn fogs here in the UK so any help will be much appreciated.

I am new to this forum, but I find it very informative. Just changed the alternator on my 2005 Liberty CRD, at 76,000 miles! I use a "remanufactured unit" that was a lot less than one from MOPAR. The "reman" unit was $150 less and guarenteed. The alternator change was straight forward. Three bolts and it's off. The serpentine belt was a challenge. Clearnace between the fan shroud and the auto tensioner is very tight. I was able to use a metric socket with a 3/8in drive breaker bar, and a "homemade" extension on the breaker bar to gain enough leverage to get the tensioner to release. Interestingly, the center bolt on the tensioner moves it! The whole removal and install took about 45 minutes.

Found out the hard way, don't let the dealer replace the fuel filter. The "labor operation code" lists 1 hour for the change! At my local Jeep dealer, that's $100 ! It takes maybe 5 minutes to change the filter and maybe another 3 minute to prime it. Chalk it up to lessons learned

Replying to: davep5 (Nov 20, 2009 5:15 pm) I chose to install a new alternator because I can not evaluate the effect of vibrations on the varnish used to isolate the copper windings. The new alternator also came with a free wheeling pulley and the refurbished model had a fixed pulley (on the picture). All in all I got what I paid for. |

Hi Folks... I developed the same hissing noise cited by some here and will take the cue from iee750mk - #10672: (Turbocharger) Boost Hose. The symptom absolutely seems related to the engine under load (with a slight delay) = increased turbocharger output. Will let ya'll know how it turns out. I recently did my 1st replacement of the fuel-water separator at 62k, and wonder if I jarred something loose in the process ? |

Replying to: davep5 (Nov 20, 2009 5:21 pm) It looks like you need to remove a few sensors and bingo off the filter comes, but that is not the case. You need to remove the sensors at their connections and the hoses, then unbolt the whole unit from the firewall. Once off and out of the engine bay, it is a piece of cake to do what needs to be done and you do not end up dumping diesel fuel all over the ground.
