Post subject:  Mystery Air Box
Greetings,

I know that the air box has been discussed quite extensively in other threads, however after cruising through a liberty parts file that was posted in
another thread, I found this image for the 2.8L diesel air box. The box shown in the picture does not resemble the crd box at all. I checked the part numbers
at www.newmoparparts.com and they all come up correct part numbers except for a couple that were superceded. I thought the image may be wrong
but item 5's part number is correct. On the crd, the MAF sensor would be part of the lid not a seperate part number as shown in the image. I was
wondering if this assembly may be used on the european crd, but I can not find any images showing this box. Any thoughts?

Only thing I could figure is that its a diagram of an XK, or maybe JK with the diesel.

Look in the biblio index - that ENO is vehicle specific, and that's a FWD configuration

Probably a hoped-for projection - that "FWD" arrow represents looking forward, and the t-stat pipe routing along the 'rear' of the engine cover, around the driver's-side end and forward seems to indicate a Front Wheel Drive scheme dream, maybe in the big Chrysler people-mover.

May be a few prime examples running around Chrysler Drive up there in Chrysler-opolis, driven by selected execs.................

I'd wager their style to be heavily crimped with TMR\EMCC, tho, to protect those wimpy FWD transmissions.

Just based on the experience with my 94 T&C Mopar Minivan... The only real problem with the FWD transmission is that they glued it right to the hottest thing in the entire car - The bottom of the engine. Bought that van new, and had brand-new transmissions installed at 40k, 80k, and 120k. The van (still have it) has 220k on it now, with that SAME transmission from 120k. What changed? A Mopar dealer did NOT install that transmission, the brand-new unit was installed by an independent shop that also installed an auxiliary front transmission cooler.

Thats it. A freakin cooler. They cut all ties to the existing radiator-exchanger system and routed the lines only to that cooler. I'd say 100k of proof says that Mopar was about 90% correct on their design, but went wide right of the goal on the last drive. You'd think they would have caught it in QC and issued a recall... But I guess installing warranty transmissions all the darn time is cheaper.

Must be why they are doing so well in market share, or is it the evil unions that are causing them to fail? :roll:

Depending on what part of the country you live in, you may not want to do that.
If you live in Phoenix, then by all means cut the lines and splice in that external cooler. If you live in Minnesota, I would put the external cooler first in line, then route through the radiator second, then back to the tranny.

The reason why you would want to do this is to “Heat” the fluid up when it’s 20 below outside.

Also by routing it this way, the fluid temperature is always maintained to about 160 degrees, summer / winter….
