With a little over 70,000 miles on Lil D. I will be planning on doing the T/B and water pump replacement this summer. Also yes another source for parts, C A C hoses, shocks,ect. would be very nice. I would like to say thank you for putting this together with the people you work with.

OEM Mopar pumps are now upgrade options on the TB kit.

What are thoughts on Koni Shocks for the Liberty. Should we stock them?

Also - I'm researching having new intercooler hoses made. I know the SAMCO ones are popular but they are pricey. Would an OEM-like replacement that is less expensive be worth the investment?

I'd love to have silicone radiator hoses.....Do you think they are a possibility?....HJ

Will need hoses in the next 10k miles and timing belt in the next 20k miles.

Any chance you could get some of the manufacturers or re-manufacturers to make a thermostat with a higher opening temp? lol

You probably want one of Kap's remanufactured and redesigned options. Hopefully he gets back to production soon.

I can live without silcone radiator hoses as the ones we have should last a really long time.

But what doesn't last and really needs a silicone or similar oil proof alternative is the air box to turbo hose which falls apart due to oil soaking just in front of the turbo where the CCV hose enters.

You aren't kidding, the hose on my KJ is disgustingly dirty.

Silicone is no better and absorbs oil like a sponge over time. Eventually you can squeeze the hose and get oil to drip out. Getting a CCV fix is a better option (ProVent maybe). I'm resigned to needing to replace the hose every 80k or so.

Quick Tip: When I swapped the OE ceramic plugs for the steel set I removed all the intake components up to the manifold. Getting the regulating flap & intake elbow out of the way wasn't very difficult. It allowed me to get the plugs out straight up without chancing breaking one off into the motor. But, I wish I had new gaskets on hand for reassembly.

So I've got full sets of the intake gaskets on hand now if you are planning on doing any glow plug work.

How about some suspension bushing and ball joints too. Maybe Moog???

Hopefully soon. Right now I'm concentrating on hard-to-get engine components & other CRD specific stuff.

It was good to talk to you this morning Corey, like I said on the phone, since you have great availability and standing with your suppliers I don't see much reason to keep fighting with my suppliers to get my kit off the ground. I will certainly be purchasing parts through you for my shop for sure.

It was my pleasure.

I'm working on getting the alternator pulleys in stock, they have been elusive so far.

Also, we now have Gates Timing belts available. I have both the Crown (Bando) and Gates in stock, leave a note in the order comments if you would prefer either brand. I'll probably transition to Gates-only for the CRD belt unless there is some other preference on this forum.

What about separate head gaskets?

Could you be more specific? Do you mean head gaskets (head to block) or valve cover gaskets?

Should I start stocking the Turbochargers for these too?

geordi · **Posted:** Mon Mar 19, 2012 3:19 pm

Turbos might not be bad, the rebuild parts kit for lunatics like me that want to try rebuilding first might also not be a bad thing. I got mine from BAE Turbo Systems listed as such on the receipt:

Turbo Service Kit for Garrett GT15 GT17 GT20 GT22 732252-0001 Part number: SKGGT157322520001

What about motor mounts? I'm about to check your site for that, I was looking to order one to install this coming weekend.

Head to block gasket was what I meant, but having all of the head related gaskets would be great, head to block, head to EM, head to IM, and all the various seals. Thanks!

Big no on the turbo rebuild kits. We have worked with Garrett for many years and Garrett specifically forbids rebuilding of VNT turbochargers - if a Garrett authorized repair center repairs a VNT turbo they may lose their license. The failure rate is through the roof. Thus, the "rebuild kits" are aftermarket, non-Garrett products and I frankly don't have enough confidence in them to use them myself, so I wouldn't be comfortable recommending to someone.

See this thread for more reading...Lost member geordi seems to be having success, but its been in for a VERY short amount of time.

I'll look into the motor mounts today.

Even though a no can be disappointing, it is good to see a focus on selling high quality parts, not just trying to sell anything to anyone.

LOL... Suggesting that I read my own thread? I'm sure you missed that I was the one asking you about the rebuild kits and motor mounts. No problem, I needed that laugh. :SOMBRERO:

As it happens, that rebuild is out of my CRD, and I now have a "FrankenTurbo" of the Garrett-Original center cartridge and wheels from that brand-new turbo I had bought, and the turbine outer housing from the turbo that had failed. This way, I have functional parts from each unit, and the parts that failed are now in a pile. I gave up on the rebuilt center cartridge b/c it makes a scraping sound when stopping the motor, but didn't make any noises while running. I don't like that it was making a noise, but I believe that might be related to the slight damage that the compressor wheel took when the original bearing failed. It isn't worth my engine, and I had enough parts to make something work.
Perhaps if that compressor hadn't been damaged, things would be different.

I've heard that MOPAR only sells the head to block gasket with TTY bolts. I am planning to replace the existing TTY bolts with ARP 220ksi racing studs for superior clamping power, and it would be nice if I did not have to buy a completely useless set of head bolts with it. RacerTracer, before his accident, had contacted VM Motori NA to see if they could source the HG independently. I would be most interested in a kit that included HG, IM to head gasket, EM to head gasket, valve cover gasket, and the elbow gaskets.
