With so many selling their opinions as facts, I decided to post an uncommon bit of info that may help in diagnosis of oil pressure issues.
Unlike most engines a Pentastar should hold oil pressure when engine is off.
Oil pressure should read 20 psi +/- 1 psi.
Checking oil pressure can be done...
I never bothered at looking at the original sale date, until... going through photos.
Yep, my Rubicon is a late build (February) 2019, meaning it hit at the beginning stages of Corona. What is weirder is during Corona, many who bought SUV type vehicles bypassed 2 door Wranglers, or did not buy...
I just found out my passenger side, side marker, has failed. All the replacements show as amber colored lens. My Rubicon has factory full LED lighting. I looked at a few aftermarket clear lens side markers but $99.00 is bonkers for what they are and don't give the proper factory look, ether...
Just did my 3rd Restore and Protect oil change at 96250. Checked my oil filter and found very little deposites in the pleats... unlike last time after checking 2 consecitive oil changes at 5k intervals (10k on filter). My original check showed small amounts of break in material along with...
Original owner expected Falken M/T to be the same as factory Falken A/T in tire size, so they never bothered with calibration.
I ran 6k with the improper calibration which effected shift points and fuel economy. Now that I recalibrated using my Tazer JL Mini, staying in over drive gears in...
Yep too frosty for my head unit. Fades quickly to a blank screen. I'll be removing it and doing a tear down for checking solder joints for the display screen and replacing some caps with higher spec. I assume since it is freezing, the thermal contraction is doing its part in power loss or...
I thought I was immune to duckage. Not interested in it, but I have been anonymously ducked at my local store. I am worried that the duckster may find that I am ungrateful... so my newly aquired ducky, smokey the bear, and Trumpinator are now dash board buddies.
If I get one more ducky, I...
Not much has been talked about this mod. Only a few words about it being one of the best mods done.
I decided to search and find a post about disabling the outside air vent. After trying it myself for a few days.... it is awesome!
I'll explain what I have experienced with the mod and it's...
Alright, from what I see... the label seems to show front is back. Is this OEM steering stabilizer installed correctly?
The label is located at the right side near the steering knuckle.
I looked for spring tags but they were gone. Assuming they are stock springs... mine have a urethane or poly coat. Shocks are black and red. Also the bump stops are black body with a red section at the end
Got my winch today. Yay! I really like the controller with wireless remote built-in. Though it does not make your winch secure as far as I see it. Anyone with a controller for evo or axion can start messing with your winch, if it is directly connected without a shut off switch. It's not a...
I finally ordered my WARN winch.... but had no clue that WARN had extended their rebate program from last year. But found it unexpectedly. So if any have made purchases from August through this month or are going after some WARN or Factor 55 upgrades the rebates are active until end of month...
Seems like my replacement made in April 2024 has a few hidden changes.
For those comparing oil filter cartridges.... count the pleats. OEM is around 88 give or take 2. I counted one side and doubled it.
1) Tighter fitting threads on oil filter cap. You need to apply more force, in comparing...
This question needs the replies to be clear on either underrated or overrated... don't want to give the wrong impression on the mod.
Please keep away from any mod that is just for looks... it must have function besides making people turn heads.
My most underrated mod is a Covosun mesh sun...
Some turn off collision warning system on their JL or JT Jeeps. I find early morning and at night drives... especially in this time of season a safety feature for deer and my Jeep. A foggy morning deer incident was avoided. Got mobbed by a mamma deer and young'un. Woke me up but my co...
I stumbled upon a series on Prime video called SUV Superbuild. The first of the series is Range Rover. Little did I know Range Rover's humble beginnings was a war time Jeep.
Only if Jeep had not sold out to a foreign brand. The French only think of money... they took Britain fir all it's worth...
I discovered something not talked about, while changing out the wrong battery that the original owner did before trade in. I dealt with odd charging patterns and low battery conditions.
After redoing all my battery cable connections to my new AGM battery, and a good hour with disconnected...
Sorry to make this thread in Blog fashion, but it's how I think, in not being distracted by too many questions at once. I placed details 1st as I go. Until I complete my Install then you will see how things are installed and function.
1st the basics.... I have two variants but only using one...
