  1. Dorman Aluminum Oil Filter Housing

    Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
  2. Dorman Aluminum Oil Filter Housing

    I installed mine a couple weeks ago and it has been great. The only thing that was odd is the Orange cap specifying the filter to use. I measured the assemblies, caps and filters, they are a spot on match. I am not sure what the filters prior to 2015 are like, but the filters they specify...
  3. We want to hear from you!

    For the love of God, fix the dealers! Not knowing their product and approaching every issue as owner abuse gets really old really quick. There was a TSB on the steering box issue. Yeah, I know it's a Jeep and it wanders a bit, but if I wanted to feel like I'm driving a HMMWV again, I would go...
  4. Somebody trying to get my Catalytic Converter????

    I have wondered about this on the JLs. With the integrated exhaust manifold (3.6L at least), access from under the vehicle, even lifted, is tough. I have always thought speed and ease to the pipes was paramount to not get caught. The converters are literally up along side the block and there...
  5. Crazy idea for Freedom Panels sound insulation injected spray foam

    Well, its a Jeep, it's noisy! Even so, I have played with this as well. Here are my thoughts. The foam is pretty stiff when it cures. If it fills top to bottom, I wonder if just the hardness of the foam can transmit noise. Any vibrations on the outer panel that would be damped by the air void...
  6. Sport axles to ?????

    All good comments. I see a few things here from working on mine. Yeah, this will get expensive and quick! Also, you are eventually going to hit the point of diminishing returns here. Keep upgrading or just go for a Willys? What you are doing can be done, but some dinero will change hands...
  7. 3.6L ESS IBS Information

    Good write-up on this issue. A lot of people have been confused here. I just pulled the second battery and integrated the leads into the main battery posts. The IBS still thinks the main is fine and I have never had a no-start since. If I enable the start/stop, it runs just as it is supposed...
  8. 8 Speed Transmission Serviced (850RE)

    This was the approach I took at 33k miles. I have the 850RE behind the 3.6L, which according to PPE, holds 1 more quart than stock in that configuration. I drained a little over 5.5 Qts out. Going with the 88 degree temp and running it through through the gears, it took 7 Qts to fill back up...
  9. Another Diff fluid question...

    Agreed. Just draining the oil doesn't show possible damage to the gearset, etc. You also want to check the bottom of the differential case for any possible chucks, etc. that might not be on the magnet, as well as wiring/locker connections. Also, the break-in oil does just that, helps get things...
  10. What was Jeep thinking when designing these wheels for the Sport S trim 😑

    Well, they look sort of Sahara-ish to me. They arent bad, just not my thing, but if someone wants them, I say go for it, its your ride. Although, they are an improvement over the standard silver Sport rims. Just my $.02.
  11. Oil change drama

    That sucks. I have only been to one of those hacthets shop twice and both times it was a $H!t show. Usually, I am in a bind, IE, road trip the next day and just need to get it done. Otherwise, I am 100% certain I did it right. Once, they never put new oil in it and said the oil light was normal...
  12. Trail exhaust - AWE or Borla climber touring?

    I recently installed the Borla Touring. I like it, its a little quieter than I thought it would be. However, in conjuction with the intake, it all sounds pretty good and gives it a little more oomph. Maybe the Type-S would have a little more growl.
  13. Mopar Cold Air Intake - Would you cut a hole in your hood for it?!

    Not surprised if they do that. Jeep proper seems somewhat responsive to customers, but dealers treat everything like the wild west.
  14. Mopar Cold Air Intake - Would you cut a hole in your hood for it?!

    I had been playing with an OBD reader for a while before doing the conversion. It gives real time readings of all sorts of parameters such as the Air Intake Temp as the computer sees it. Keep in mind, it floats around. I noticed that as I drove more, it moved up a few degrees. I think this is...
  15. Mopar Cold Air Intake - Would you cut a hole in your hood for it?!

    If you look at the factory upgrade kit, there isn't a lot of modular capability to it. You could use just the improved filter, but why? Just buy that part alone if you want to. You have to replace the airbox lid if you use the runner to the throttle body as the lid has a larger opening to...
  16. Mopar Cold Air Intake - Would you cut a hole in your hood for it?!

    My understanding is that the Mopar CAI system and the snorkel both use the same cutout. If you look under a stock hood, you can see where there are provisions for future modifications. There is a template, reinforcement bracket, etc. that go along with the CAI. They should have supplied the...
  17. Mopar Cold Air Intake - Would you cut a hole in your hood for it?!

    Oh goodie, I see a lot going on here. First off, and I agree, don't rail on somone for doing what they want to do. We all love our Jeeps and all have ideas of where we want it to go! No harm in that. I am NOT a fan of angry grills, but if somone else likes it, go for it! As for the cold air...
  18. Rubicon vs sport suspension height?

    Absolutely, $80 well spent! Just remember to loosen and retorque the control arm bolts with the change in angle and the preload on the bushings!
  19. Colorado PPE Aluminum ZF 850RE Transmission Pan

    Do you still have this? If so, I'll take it!
