Hello All From Central Iowa!
I've been the proud owner of a KJ CRD for about a year now. I've been checking in frequently here over the last year for technical advice and a bit of entertainment. Thanks to all the contributors past and present - you are an exceptionally knowledgeable and generous community. I'll do my best to keep taking what you are offering, and hope to have a chance to contribute a bit also.
2005 Liberty Sport CRD - 133,000 miles
It came to me with some work already done...
Weeks Intake Elbow Kit Stages 1 & 2
SAMCOs (CCV system currently intact)
GDE Full Torque Eco Tune
Upgraded fuel filter head
11 blade plastic mechanical cooling fan (not sure what fan clutch it has or its condition)
Torque converter reported upgraded
Timing belt reported done at ~94K
Rancho RS5284/5764 shocks/struts
Renegade hood and grill
It has needed a few things over the last year (surprise!), and again thanks to you all, I've not been flying blind.
Fluids/filters, CCV puck and drain hose cleaning, MAP cleaning, etc.
Coolant leak (ended up being a loose hose clamp, whew)
Occasional clunking starting from a stop (lubed rear driveshaft splines)
Partially stripped oil drain port (added Fumoto oil drain valve)
Front prop shaft rear boot torn (joint OK, replaced boot)
Chirpy bird under the hood at idle (replaced alternator clutch pulley)
Right rear wheel assembly getting hot (replaced rear brake calipers/pads, turned discs)
No start (replaced ignition actuator pin - starter relay jump procedure found here got me home)
Block heater inop (replaced cord/plug)
Looked too stock for me (added ~2" of lift and takeoff wheels/tires from a 2015 JK - 245/75/16 w/spidertrax wheel adapters)
This is my daily driver. I use it occasionally for light towing and light off roading. Here's a picture:
With all of the previous mods done, I'm wondering if anyone here recognizes this one? If I remember the auto check report correctly, it was in Minnesota and Nebraska before ending up in Iowa. I'm at least the fourth owner.
Thanks!
Luke
