Thank You

Just wanted to say thanks to all that helped me get my truck running right. Replaced the coolant with Rotella ELC, after a flush with Restore and Restore+. Then I changed out the Oil cooler and EGR cooler because the oil cooler was plugged(20°+deltas). Replaced all filters with Motorcraft, rebuilt the turbo, and a glow plug install. Honestly, I would not have been able to do it without all the posts that you fellas posted. Had an issue with alligning the Y-pipe with the turbo, and I remember reading that you can use a ratchet strap and pull it together using the hole above the passenger headlight. Worked like a champ. Crusing down the road at 70 mph, for about 45 mins. seeing deltas around 9.9. What a difference! I cant wait to cut open the old oil cooler and see how plugged it was. The only stuff that I have to do to make everything the way I want is to replace all 4 shocks,diagnose a wheel bearing issue, and alignment. Thanks again

There is NO other forum like this one.

I have been bit by the Rubicon bug and will likely have better luck here than in a jeep forum... Get ready fellas!

Sure glad you got your issue resolved!

Look out guys, we have a 2004 TJ and occasionally go to the Wrangler forum also. Maybe we should start a sub forum for the Jeep owners. lol
