  1. Got the Call...Replace the HPFP

    I was in the boat of wait as long as possible to get the recall because I already am on my second pump but the time came in the form of a letter from my insurance. They don’t like insuring cars with active safety recalls. I will say the dealer did it in half a day (same one that swapped out my...
  2. You have to change fuel filter every oil change(10k miles) now.

    Diesel #2 doesn’t seem to exist in San Diego anymore. Everything is either R99 (renewable diesel), B20 biodiesel or Chevrons here have some sort of mix that is B20 mixed with renewable? I try to stick to the R99.
  3. Jeep Ecodiesel FAIL...3rd time to the dealer in a month for low oil pressure warning light...ugh

    It happened to me but stopped after I replaced the oil and filter again. I think it’s really easy to damage the threads on the filter if you don’t seat it perfect the first time. Wish they would just make a metal filter. Where is the sensor located? Is it able to be knocked as you replace the...

    Found another use for those funnels that come with the DEF
  5. Question About Distance Between Regens

    Ok. I always take a second before I turn off the engine with it in Park to see if a ā€˜Regen in Progress’ message appears but never seen anything until this.
  6. Question About Distance Between Regens

    I finally got the message telling me to keep driving a regen is in progress coming home from work yesterday. For those wondering it is not a subtle one time beep. The message came up on the dash and stayed. Then every time I even slowed down a bit it chimed again to ā€˜keep driving’. I’m at...
  7. Has anyone lost the high pressure fuel pump yet?

    So I was an unlucky one that had theirs go at 4700 miles. Now I’m at 12k and new pump has been fine. Mine was made end of Feb ā€˜22. When it failed I just lost the accelerator like I ran out of gas. No jerking or shuttering or anything. I actually feel lucky it went before any of the recalls...
  8. Renewable Diesel (R6-R99) Discussion Thread

    I’m still adding the EDT as well. Even if I happen to use B20. I’ll have to check out the app. They just put a 76 in by my work. Chevron has an app with good kickbacks also.
  9. Renewable Diesel (R6-R99) Discussion Thread

    Here is a new one. Its Renewable B20 at Chevron. So 80% Renewable biomass diesel and 20% biodiesel. Also to follow up from earlier post. Everywhere around me now that advertised ā€˜Diesel #2’ but had the orange sticker now changed the signage to ā€˜Renewable #2’ or R99. Must have just been...
  10. 3.0 Diesel fuel pump recall announced

    My recall also showed up in my Carfax info that the dealer signed me up for when they replaced my first fuel pump. Going to guess selling it on the used market would be tough unless like some said a dealer is willing to buy it and sit on it. But if a dealer is willing to do that to me it shows...
  11. Hot Shots EDT leaky bottle solution

    I like it. I just did ziplocks in a ziplock Tupperware. It also fits nicely here so it’s upright. But I have hard top always on.
  12. Another Recall on 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) Issue: Over 45K Wranglers & Gladiators Affected

    This showed up in my Jeep app after I updated it. I like the term ā€˜may’ have a faulty pump even through the model by design is faulty. And a ā€˜voluntary’ recall to get around they have no idea how to fix it. I had my original pump grenade and the fix was putting an identical P# pump back in along...
  13. MPG and Range on the Ecodiesel

    I agree the idle time is a major impact on mpg. If I sit down n a lot of drive throughs for lunch one week it definitely shows in the mpg.
  14. Shoulda Bought An EcoDiesel!!!

    Ya I’m still trying to fully understand ha. This picture helped explain it to me. So basically it’s refined liked petroleum diesel but the crude oil is plant based. Next time you fill up look to see if there is a little orange sticker by the pump mentioning ā€˜biomass based’ diesel.
  15. Mopar MaxCare Extended Care Warranty and implications with a non MOPAR lift kit install

    I directly asked my dealer about how an after market lift would affect the warranty because I was debating it too. They basically said if you are lifting it similar to the Mopar lift specs they would honor the warranty. So if you are only doing around a 2.5ā€ lift for 35ā€ tires it would be ok...
  16. Shoulda Bought An EcoDiesel!!!

    For the last year diesel was move expensive then premium. Now everything has switched to renewable #2 in San Diego. Skepticism about the new fuel aside the price is no longer attached to petroleum prices so it’s now $0.20 under regular :)
  17. Bigger Tires, Better MPG on 3.0?

    I know that drive well but from San Diego. Definitely got better mpg on the way home. I’m only have 2.5ā€ Metalcloak lift on 35ā€ Nitto Ridge Grapplers but I got 26mpg overall on our last trip. The wind direction in the stretch between Vegas and Mesquite makes a world of difference on the mpg.
  18. 3.0 oil pressure

    First thing in the morning mine is always 80-85psi for the first mile of driving or so then it drops. Usually ~30psi on freeway then 20psi at idle warmed up. To note, I previously had a low oil pressure issue so I spent a lot of time monitor the pressure ;)
  19. JLRU right pillar leak, year 3.

    Was it the top rear corner of the door seal? Mine is doing that too. Finally tracked it today but have noticed damp spots on the seat. It seems to only happens during really hard rain which is not common where I live.
  20. Oil Filter Cover Thread Size???

    Keep in mind the total length 141mm of the filter too when looking for an alternate housing. There isn’t a lot of extra room when taking it off.
