Hello All,
3yrs ago I bought my first diesel (F250) - still have it and pulling 8k#'s across the South East.
2yrs ago bought my first turbo gasser (VW Passat) - it accomplished it's mission of eating many many miles while going to CFP school.
Last week bought my first Jeep!
Picked up a 2005 Liberty 2.8 CRD w/ wiggly turbo, worthless alternator, paper weight battery, and 007 smoke screen generator. Yet, the body is in great shape, new tires, Limited edition, only 89k miles and a great buy price.
This is going to be a fun project
Just pulled the turbo out yesterday. The only good thing about pulling an 89k mile turbo is the mounting bolts haven't had time to seize yet. I am tempted to put in cheap chinese turbo. Somebody help me! I feel like I'm walking into a bar with penny beers in my 20's - this isn't going to end well.
