Thank you Turbo-diesel-freak. The inline t-stat is only a temporary fix. I'd like to buy an HDS M-001. I could only find an old Kijiji link and it didn't specify availability or price. Could you point me in the right direction as to where to get one? I'm going through basic maintenance step by step. It already has the egr deleted and the squatch intake, along with the EHM done. Is there a factory service manual I could download as well?
It is still a bad idea to use the inline, even for a short period of time. What happens in these circumstances is that a "short period of time" turns into a long period of time. It would be better that you cover the grill in the front of your vehicle with coroplast, (plastic cardboard), in an effort to increase your operating temperatures than use the inline thermostat. Cut the coroplast to fit the slots in the grill and zip-tie them into place.
By your adoption of the Elephant Hose modification, (EHM), it seems that you have been given more improper upgrade information. As WWDiesel has stated, this is another bad upgrade. Who gave you this information, (you can private message me about this if you wish to save the person who gave you the information any embarrassment)?
Contact me via e-mail, (

The Factory Service Manual is also available through the Jeep Liberty CRD Facebook Group. Sign up as a member there and you can download the files.
