| Post subject: | 2005 Liberty question |
I was thinking about buying a used 2005 Liberty with the diesel. It has 109000 miles and seems to be in good shape. I have had other diesel pickups and a few cars. Some good and some really bad and all were bought new. Are they good if they were taken care of or are they something I have to tinker with all the time? I don't need another project or job but I do like the diesel thing. Next question anyone know the approximant value of something like this ?I bought a new Ford with a 6.0 new , really bad before I had a chevy with a 6.5 not good either. In 2010 I bought a new Dodge with a 6.7 and did the deletes and its been great. I like this Liberty but I'm a little afraid, should I be ? Tim |

With that one you are looking at make sure the timing belt has been changed, if not it needs to be done right away. And the CRD is just like every other diesel, You get out what you put in !!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Run through the normal checks you would on any vehicle. Honestly, you read too much on this forum you will run for the hills. 122k on the clock and only maintenance done since I bought it at 70k. Can't speak for prices, check the for sale here, as well as www.searchtempest.com |

Post this under crd love the torque, you can get more opinions there. To your question: known issues with crd is the bad egr, if the truck has many miles running stock, first thing to do is delete the egr (or get a green diesel engineering tune), inspect the rockers since they get eaten by the egr soot and they may fail, especially if the oil change was not made too often or with improper nonsynthetic oil. I'd make sure the engine had a timing belt and water pump change (ask for receipts), should have been done at 100k, at 100k the coolant should be flushed with zerex g05. Also, the torque converter is pretty weak for the torque of crd, but there are alternatives like Suncoast. You may also need a lift pump, some owners experience air in fuel due to bad design on the fuel lines connectors to the fuel tank. I'd say for those miles the jeep has to consider adding a few thousand bucks to make the car really reliable and also have the peace of mind. I made all the mods that I considered important and I have had absolutely no issues with the crd, it's one of the best and most reliable vehicle I have owned. |
