Default Sam! school me on the 05-06 CRD KJ

I'm going to look at one this weekend

128k, "not running", auto and probably 2wd.

Any words of warning?

Sam would probably know the most on here.

I drove one once. It seemed OK. I don't remember if they're VGT and EGR equipped or not, but I assume they are since most everything that I'm aware of, after 2004, was (Cummins being the exception; didn't get EGR until the 6.7).

Fawk it, bought a '70 commando instead...

What I read about that diesel didn't impress me.

Frame is solid AF, tub not so much but everything is there minus doors and tailgate. Dauntless is locked up solid.

Got a set of 4.10 YJ axles in Stock and seriously considering the 2.5/ax5/242 for this rig with a carb.

it's hard for me to justify a 2.5 for anything ... but for a summer cruisin toy, that could be super cheap and really good.

If I can get the dauntless running (it's currently seized but soaking) I'll just run it but it's not looking good.

All CRDs are 4wd with NP242.


Not running could be any number of things, maybe simple and easy or might need an engine.


This would be a good start for reading:

If you can find out some specifics about it I could help to venture a guess about whats wrong with it.
