I’d clay-bar that spot.

Do you remember back in 2019 there were forum members saying how slow the diesel was going to be? There was one member going on and on about how boring it would be, etc. I think back about those posts often when driving mine. I find this power plant & drivetrain to be very satisfying to...

My 2020 has those driveshaft markings.

Many years ago, about 1980, a college buddy had his dad’s Mazda rotary pickup. He and I set out to replace the rear brake shoes, and the passenger rear drum was very much stuck. It wasn’t until I doused the brake drum with cold water, after first heating with a torch, that it popped loose.

Some form of dementia perhaps.

Yup, me too. If I didn’t like how it rides, I wouldn’t have bought it. Or the past other four Wranglers either.

There’s a fair amount of discussion about this in the gears section. Here’s one of the links. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/locker-sensor-failing.64774/page-2#post-1374642. See post #25 the sensor assemblies come from TE, or at least they did a few years ago. Even having...

The sensor is a Hall-based one. There’s only two wires going to this sensor. The current level it consumes makes a step change in value depending on the position of the magnet to the sensor. I don’t remember if the locked or the unlocked state produces the lesser current. We know that...

Although not 100% apples to apples (trans differences mainly) I will offer that my wife and I have owned 3 Wranglers with the 3.6 Pentastar and now drive one with the 2.0. It just felt like life is too short to keep driving the same engine. The 2.0 is a refreshing change. It’s more fun to...

I imagine that’s true from a structural standpoint. But after only 3yrs my first Wrangler, before I started using FF, the undercarriage had lost enough of its factory paint and had a lot of surface rust. On a lower vehicle like a car, it wouldn’t show much. But so much more is visible on our...

I don’t think I’d worry about that. People that go mudding subject their running rear to some nasty gunk. Not that that is good for it either, but I don’t think the FF attracting stuff is any worse. I bought back in 2015, a 5 gal pail of FF from eBay. It was a better buy than the 1gal from...

I’ve been using FF for 8 years now, on our Wranglers and pickup. The truck, when we traded it last spring showed virtually no rust underneath. It is kind of messy, attracting dirt, etc. But when I pressure washed it off, it still looked really good underneath.

Man, think 3/8” is thick enough? Just kidding. But that’s a lot of aluminum.

The filter does naturally darken with fuel, so it probably isn’t as appallingly-dirty as it might appear.

The work being done to replace the pump is downstream of the fuel filter. There’d be no harm in changing the filter at that time, but would be no real benefit either. Unless it was time for it to be changed anyway.

Nice! If you don‘t have 3P, a VFD is the way to go.

Yes

Yes, that’s what I was looking for. Thanks!

I had no prior inspection either. I’d asked the dealer about parts availability a month or so ago, they ordered the parts and called when they arrived. My appointment for installation was then scheduled for about a week later (which was yesterday). I drove the Jeep again today and looked it...

I’m so sorry, that’s a typo on my part. I meant to type “ CP4 plus”. I’ll try editing my previous post To fix that.
