I'm seeing forums with these higher temp thermostats cracking heads with the crd, and its scary. 2nd thing- what is the viscous heater supposed to do? Dose it do anything good?
That’s not an issue with this thermostat. The cracked heads can happen when people use an aftermarket (in-hose) thermostats. The viscous heater came OEM on these CRDs. They will warm up the coolant a little (not much) faster. They are obsolete nowadays. Deleting them means less stress on your engine, serpentine belt idlers, belt, and tensioner. Any difference the viscous heater made with the coolant temp is made up for by installing this thermostat. Winter temps shouldn’t be an issue now. Can’t wait to have it for the cold season. Thanks for watching. There are more CRD videos on the channel. Some are older but hopefully still helpful. Have a great day!
I use that permatex copper spray on my head gaskets. Works great. Wasn't a fan of the liberty at first but they have grown on me. Wasn't a fan of the 4door wrangler or gladiators at first either till I drove one now I kinda want one 😂
They’ll never be good on looks but functionality wise, they make great MPG (the CRD) and the 4WD works great. Storm’s here tonight. How’s your summer going so far? Already July. Wow
@@2StallGarage yeah they aren't pretty but better lookn than the compass 😂. We got hit with a storm yesterday. Cooled it down some but didn't las ran the humidity back up. We cookn down here. Heat indexes in the 110+ range with 60-80% humidity make it hard to get much done but we pushing thru it.
@@2StallGarage yeah had to do a little anyways 😂. Gotta plate it all in so it'll be safe to drive again. Got a few more parts to get and modify but thatll be a few weeks out still. Working on getting my buddy's s10 done now. Got it here at my place along with another buddy's truck we gotta get some work done on as well.
@@GlassWerx cool. You e been getting more subscribers. It’s not the most important thing, but it’s been good to see you nabbing more of them. Good work.
I searched facebook and joined the group "JEEP DIESEL ONLY KJ Liberty CRD and WK/WK2 CRD for sale/trade" and did a search for "thermostat" and am not coming up with anything. Can you share more information on how to obtain these modified thermostats?
@@2StallGarage I did the search and nothing is on eBay at the moment. I did get on the correct facebook group and sent a message to Robert Dys a couple of times to order one of these and never received a response. Do you know anything further? Is he not making these anymore? Thanks.
@MikeRoetter go to 2stallgarage on Facebook and message me. I’ll send you the link for the thermostat. Sometimes Robert is traveling and may not respond right away. He’s still making them.

@GlassWerx looks like you’ve been putting work in on the Honda. That’s going to be an interesting ride.

Hi
Can you tell me please where I can get the 203 deg upgrade thermostat for my card jeep liberty
Thank you
Unfortunately, this is currently out of stock. You can attempt to get one from the “Jeep Liberty CRD” group on Facebook. I hope this helps you!

Search “Modded 05-06 Jeep Liberty 2.8L CRD Diesel Thermostat” on eBay and you’ll find it. $399.00. Worth the price in my opinion 👍
