The weather’s warming up, and we’re seeing a few more WK2s rolling in for coolant leaks.

A bunch of EcoDiesel's are getting our four hose package this week, keeping the team busy getting them sorted before the heat really kicks in.

If your Grand Cherokee is losing coolant or you’ve noticed a coolant smell after a drive, get it checked before it turns into an overheating problem. EcoDiesel's do not like that.

Planning a summer road trip? Now’s a good time to get those leaks sorted. Get in before we get booked out for Christmas period.

It was Leg day for one of our Grand Cherokee's. You'll be seeing this one in videos pretty soon

Fixed your WK2 Grand Cherokee’s hose in the valley and now it won’t start or the dash is full of warning lights?

With everything that needs to come apart for this repair, a missed connection can leave you with a whole new problem.

Here are three things worth checking after reassembly:

•Hard starting, no start or a diesel leak? The high pressure fuel line connections need inspecting. They can take a while to start after the repair, crank it for awhile to get the air out of the diesel lines

• Red lightning bolt and check engine light? Check the throttle body connector. The brown plug underneath can look connected without being fully seated. Pray you have not left it unplugged.

• Glow plug warning light staying on? Check that the glow plug connections have all been reconnected correctly.

• If you were not careful putting the HPFP Cover back on you could have crushed the harness while fastening it down.

These are common post repair issues but not a diagnosis for every warning light.

Here's a troubleshooting page with videos and tips to help you work through them:

Sometimes a blown head gasket isn’t the end of the story, it’s the start of a much better one.

This 5.7 HEMI Grand Cherokee came to us after an overheating issue took out the head gasket, meaning the cylinder heads had to come off.

With the engine already apart, it was the perfect opportunity to go a little further.

Performance camshaft, cold air intake, full Pacemaker exhaust and a custom dyno tune later and this thing has turned into one seriously tough Jeep.

If you’ve got a 5.7 or 6.4 in a , or and you’re already considering an delete, it can also be the perfect time to look at performance upgrades while the engine is apart.

You asked, we ignored you… until now.

We’ve asked plenty of times what videos you want to see, and one question that kept coming up was catch cans on diesel vehicles. So we’re finally doing something about it.

We’re fitting two different catch can setups to in our own fleet. a unit and a style setup and putting them through a proper real world comparison.

The HPD definitely wins points for presentation, but the ProVent style setup has some practical advantages when it comes to servicing and filtration.

The important question, though, is which one actually does the better job?

We’re going to run both for a month or so, drain them, pull them apart and compare the results so we can give you some real information rather than just an opinion.

Watch the video for the first look at both setups, and we’ll report back once we’ve got some data.
