Hi! In September i got my first Jeep, a 2005 KJ CRD Sport with 120k miles. It is super clean thanks to the maintenance and care from the PO, a retired mechanic. I had done some research on the CRD prior to finding this little monster, and have plans to do the essential upgrades available at SasquatchParts.com. I also have a Webasto Thermo Top Evo that I plan on installing and programing for early morning pre-ignition warm-ups. Since the only info I can find on the Webasto install pertains to the older and more expensive Thermo Top C, I will try to document my install as best I can, as soon as I start it. Since I already have the SasquatchParts Battery Tray upgrade, I can say that Webasto definitely changed the mounting bolt pattern from the C to the Evo. I'm hoping to come up with an easy way to mount the Evo to the Battery Tray during this endeavor. I am hoping to lean on the collective knowledge of Lost Jeeps to pull these projects off, and hopefully provide some useful contributions by way of my certain future screw-ups. Thanks in advance! https://shop.sasquatchparts.com/products/battery-tray-for-jeep-liberty-2-8l-crd/?attribute_color=Green |

I found Rotella T6 0w-40 at Advance Auto Parts. It seems to be one of the few 0w-40's that has all the certifications that are recommended for the VM R 428. It was on sale too, so I stocked up. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/she ... 11601386-P Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk |

Again I must recommend the liqui moly leichtlauf 5w40 as it has much higher anti wear properties Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

66dodge, I took your advice and exchanged the T6 for the Leichtlauf. I got the Webasto Thermo Top EVO installed, but not connected to the cooling system yet. I have been flushing the coolant an absurd number of times trying to get all the gunk out, but it just keeps making filthy water each time I drain it. I have done the citric acid flush, followed by backflushing, just like Squeeto describes in his Round 2 post, but I have only succeeded in making more dirty water. I have even backflushed the heater core and EGR cooler individually, still making dirty water. Hopefully one more citric acid & backflush will knock out the rest of this crud. |
