Just installed the "eco tune" in our 06 Liberty and so far so good. Haven't had it long enough to know how much of a difference it has made. Did the erg elephant tube a while back after cleaning the erg sensor. MPG seams to be going up on the lie-o-meter. We'll see!!!

I am not absolutely sure but I think it is a VM Motori 2.5 liter motor with 150 or 160 HP. You can answer any questions you have about it on the lost jeep forum under the love that torque threads. It's at LOSTJEEPS.COM. or this if it works LOST JEEPS • View forum - Liberty CRD...Love that Torque!!!
Hope that helps. We love ours. It has about 80K and we have had very little problems with it. Biggest problem was when the battery dies and left us stranded. Couldn't even jump start it. I think a cell died and if we would have disconnected the battery and jumped it might have worked. It is my wife's daily driver and she loves it.

Just bought an 06 Sport, this weekend, and already did the EHM, cleaned the MAP, and unplugged the MAF for now. Did my oil change, and am waiting for my transmission pan drain plug from Genos before I do the trans fluid, and ordered a new Stant thermostat for it, as it's running cold. I seem to be getting between 25-30 mpg right now, stock, that's 99 percent highway and 1 percent city, so I'm thrilled with it!

We bought a 2006 basket case, It was taken to Pearl Jeep and they were a disaster. Took a fixable engine and turned it into garbage. The amount of stupid stuff they did was unbelievable. Chrysler would not stand behind the owner. Lost the head gasket, Lost an inter-cooler hose, lost various hardware, Bent every solid line there was under the hood. broke a electrical connector at the firewall, pulled all the injectors and did not label them as to which hole the came from, broke the fuel return.


We installed a new engine. lift pump, Eco tune. upgraded torque converter, Going to install the EGR elbow soon. Installed the FS2500 bypass filter.

Looking for a better air filter box. I hate the flat filters. I might look into installing a box that would take the same filter as the GM K47 air box used on 1997 and newer 6.5 diesels. The same filter was used on many 1997 and newer GM applications.

We just had the tensioner bolt strip out and take the threads with it. I unscrewed the threads off the bolt.

Sounds like a fairly normal issue with these.

Does anybody have instructions on how to get to the part that is stripped?

The factory book set sucks for detailed instructions
