Guess I drew the short straw. My 2018 3.6 is giving me some indications it's had it at 34k and 5 months past coverage, not that I'd expect Jeep to honor it with 4.88s and 37s anyway. I treated it well, changing oil earlier than required and used full synthetics. I'm nearly 68, and drive like...

I briefly looked at my transfer case, the other day while under my rig, to do a fluid change in the future. I have Artec skids and it would be a pretty difficult thing to drain the fluid without dropping that section of the skids. So, I thought it might be worthwhile to install a Fumoto drain...

Just a question about mounting the ARB dual compressor under the seat. Can you lower the standard manual seat down all the way with the compressor mounted under the seat?

Just a plug for Teraflex customer support. I bought their 3.6L Crankcase Vent System to prevent oil from dumping into the intake through the PCV system in steep obstacle manuevers. There was a problem with one of the parts and I contacted them. They responded promptly the next business day...

LOL, I missed it when I poured it in. 90032 is purple out of the jug.. Anyone have the Mopar 90032 orange-pink coolant turn purple? I've been in the days long process of flushing my coolant system. Before I put any flush in, I drained the contaminated (oil from oil cooler seals) coolant...

So, I owe a Mojave Trail run. I'm still working to get my rig back on the trail. But should be done with the mechanicals in a few days. I'll try to schedule around some other socal runs. But thinking ahead, Millers trail up in the Gorman Lockwood area is calling my name. Last and only...

I recently changed my plugs and had to make a decision. I was first exposed to thread damage of removing spark plugs in the late 60s when my father's 61 Oldsmobile Cutlass with a 215 c.i. aluminum engine had a problem. I also owned and maintained airplanes for decades as well as my own...

I bought this leakdown tester from Harbor Fright. Wasn't too sure about the quality at first. But I disassembled it and verified it has the industry standard .040" orifice (also the FAA required size for testing airplanes). It was easy to use and the gauges seem to be decent quality. This...

Anyone know of other temperature thermostat availability?

I'm considering installing a remote cooler on my 3.6L and eliminating the little cooler/heater in the valley as it is a source of leaks. Physically, I could just make a block-off plate to replace the cooler/heater, but I'm wondering if it needs to flow through as though the cooler/heater is...

I ran across this website that has a plethora of brake fluids and their "dry" and "wet" boiling points. It's a great site and worth the read if you've ever wondered if there is a difference in brake fluids. The table has not only boiling points, but also costs and hyperlinks to purchase most...

PSC is making their Big Bore w/cylinder assist kit in two different options. The original kit has the belt drive pump. The new EHPS uses the OE Electric Hydraulic Power Steering pump with a boost kit to raise the pressure. All the other components seem to be the same (cooler, steering box...

Anyone figure out how to get the discount "in the cart" on the PSC site?

I've been thinking about doing the Mojave Trail (again). I've done it a few times on horseback in 6 day group rides. It's probably a 1-2 night camp trip by jeep, depending on how much stopping along the way to check out things. Looking to see if anyone is interested. The Mojave Road • The...

I recently ordered a TYC 700356 blower motor from Autopartsgeek. The motor came promptly and I tried to install it right away. I figured I'd give it a go just plugging it in and winding on the blower controls. I had just done the same for the OEM blower and it works, but has a slight bearing...

Im curious about the highway characteristics of a ram assist. Is a ram assist still as precise as OE steering? I'm running 37s, 3.5 MC lift, MC tierod, and draglink.

I have a 3.5" Metalcloak lift and the MC tierod (1 5/8" dia) and draglink. The steering damper is currently a Rocksport. But it lacks even the same damping as an OEM damper. Looking for a no-hassle fit to my setup that has an adjustable damper. Is the Teraflex Falcon JK Falcon Nexus EF 2.2...

Has anyone used a digital torque wrench and measured what the trackbar specified torque of 74 ft/lbs + 30 degrees and +60 degrees actually measures out to in ft/lbs?

We were on trails at Moab this past week. We had some OK equipment and maps. We still had some difficulty with knowing where we were when apparently the GPS constellation was acting up. But eventually the GPS system came back up. Still, it was difficult navigate on either the phones or small...
