Looks like the water pump is possibly what's right above and to the right of that idler pulley. Haven't been able to find a diagram that shows me explicitly that it is, but perhaps the water pump seal is leaking or the bolts holding the water pump in place are loose? I'll take a better look into...
Just wondering if anyone else has dealt with something similar, can't seem to find anything searching myself. Looks like something, my guess is coolant, is leaking from the front of the engine somewhere around a idler pulley is what it looks like to me. I had the TSB done for the bolts on the...
Dang OP sorry to hear how the install went. I got lucky I guess, no problems with the hinges and getting the tailgate to close properly. I also installed mine by myself in about 4 hours, maybe closer to 5.
I think the order I went through was to align the tailgate first, tighten the plates...
Not with the Jeep, only the trailer. I could only put a little over half a yard on the trailer at a time. Not much different than a pickup though, unless your talking 2500 or 3500.
I have a 5x8 utility trailer when I need to move stuff around that's larger than what fits in the back. Redid my landscaping last summer and hauled out 7-8 yards of rock/dirt/junk and brought home 6 yards of new rock with it. Drywall for a remodel project, lumber etc. Other than that I'm mostly...
3.5" MC GC lift, 37" BFG KO2s. I also have a warn zeon 12k winch on the front, steel front and rear bumpers, steel tire carrier and the full belly skid plate from MC as well, so little bit of extra weight. If I recall correctly I'm right around 3.75" of actual lift currently.
I think you may be correct that I left the ultimate electron pig connected. I did measure what I would believe to be the aux battery voltage at 3.x vdc. I had the positive and negative battery terminal clamps removed and put my DMM leads on there to get the 3.x vdc reading.
I did a little more...
So would this point be sufficient then? Looks like a chasis ground if I'm not mistaken? Your story is exactly why I'm asking lol, I'm leaving for a vacation in a day and don't want anything messing up my plans!
Reading in the owners manual about jump starting the jeep is kind of confusing for a simpleton like myself. Manual states to connect jumper cable to positive terminal on battery, and to connect the negative "to a good engine ground", and specifically states to not connect the negative jumper...
Measured the voltage on my main battery, everything is still hooked up as normal and I'm getting a 4.8vdc reading on my dmm. Not sure what the hell happened as last night when I drove to the gym and home it started like normal, no warning lights on the dash or anything. Pretty sure I didn't...
Drove 540 miles from the dealership where I purchased it back to my house! ?
I think there's a recommended procedure in the owners manual, kept it pretty close to that from what I recall. So far my Jeep hasn't exploded so I'm guessing I did it right ?
Gotcha, for some reason I was thinking the recall was for a mechanical problem they were trying to band aid with a software update. Didn't realize it was a "design" issue and people not knowing how to drive a manual that was causing them to detonate.
