Hi all... well I am working through all the lists ... now I find myself at the point I want the truck to work better pull harder etc ...

So couple questions. . When I accelerate hard it sounds like the truck is an old mini with the tappets banging around... then it seems to pull through and then it's good... bear in mind truck has not had a documented service for like 30 plus k miles ... it's in tomorrow for timing and weekend I'm doing oil and filters etc ... truck has 70k miles on it 2.5 crd. . Perhaps I'm being to nervous as not owned a truck before.. it throws out loads of smoke too... that started after I cleaned the sensors as per noob guide...

Second is the power itself I guess... so I'm in the UK as name suggests... I have searched the Internet and ebay keeps popping up saying get 30 to 60 bhp gains by plugging in some inline thing. .. what's your guys take on that? They are around 150 pounds so I'm not jumping at it ...
Cheers guys

Anyone know if Keith can make a version of the ECM tune for the global 2.5L CRDs? It'd be a good new market for GreenDieselEngineering.com

I'm sure you've likely had about 25 people tell you this already, but if you are the first one to look after your Jeep (your sig line), let me be the next to tell you: TIMING BELT CHANGE!!!!!!
