New owner of 06 CRD

I am a new owner of an 2006 Liberty CRD, with 111,000 miles on it. I purchased it in Az. and I don't know to much history of it. I believe it was used for transportation on highway only. What I am looking for is any insight as to what I should do to keep this Liberty running good. I am aware of changing the timing belt, and the torque converter situation, but is there anything else that I should be aware of. In the early part of this decade, I had a Ford with the 7.3 in it that I did all of my mods to it myself, so, short of a complete rebuild, I could be capable of doing the work myself. This vehicle is registered in South Dakota, no annual inspections, Bruce :JEEPIN:

BD, welcome to LOST. You've joined the right place. I've found a wealth of support on this forum and I try to return the favor as much as I can.

I would start with the NOOB GUIDE. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=54207

Biggest thing to keeping it running well is routine maintenance. Also get a GDE tune so you can eliminate the EGR. Check your boost hoses as well and also the intake hose from the air box to the inlet on the turbo.

Post on the Liberty CRD...Love that Torque!!! for specific CRD issues you're more likely to get a targeted response. and CRD TECH ONLY has the ideas and instructions to help guide you through. For instance I'm using the Engine Mounts - replacement walk through by thermoex.
