  1. JL - Trailer Brake Controller

    I installed the red arc brake controller in my Jeep and my Jeep did not come equipped with a factory tow package. I tapped into the third brake light wire. I traced it from the light to the right side rocker panel . If I remember it was green and tan. I posted pictures on this a couple of...
  2. Diesel Coolant Temp

    That’s the conclusion that I was leaning to as well but would like to put the issue to rest once and for all and the only way to do that is gonna require a trip to the dealership and talk to the parts dept... not the service dept... so I can look into the cooling system parts and diagrams on...
  3. Diesel Coolant Temp

    Very good testing of temps at various locations. What was the time difference between the readings. Also I don’t quite understand your statement about piston crown readings...
  4. Diesel Coolant Temp

    That’s very interesting and also the first report I’ve heard of someone seeing the bar gauge move above the halfway mark
  5. Diesel Coolant Temp

    That’s some pretty good info and helps to settle my worries a bit but not completely. I would still like to know what the parameters are.
  6. Diesel Coolant Temp

    Or could the excessive temp readings be coming from the liquid cooled turbo... the temp swings are very erratic and closely mirror the amount of boost being applied by the turbo... just my hypothesis and not based on anything proven.
  7. JL - Trailer Brake Controller

    2020 Willys without the factory tow package. Installed the Red Arc Tow Pro Elite and tapped into my third brake light to trigger the controller. Towed 500 miles this past weekend and absolutely no problems
  8. JL - Trailer Brake Controller

    I used the third brake light white wire with green stripe to trigger my controller and have had no issues
  9. Diesel Coolant Temp

    I would just like to know what the safe operating temperatures are for the coolant. What good is it to have the temperature display is if you don’t know what the temperature is supposed to be. Might as well replace the the gauge with one that says contact the dealership.
  10. Diesel Coolant Temp

    Please tell me what page in the manual I can find the parameters for the engine coolant. I brought the manual with me to work today to look it up but no luck ... also asked the same question to Jeep and was informed that I should inquire with the dealership.
  11. Diesel Coolant Temp

    Thanks for the input Texgoat, I’ll keep that in mind next time I tow with it and see what happens.
  12. Anyone install the Blue wire on Mopar Tow Wiring Harness?

    Connect the third brake light wire to the blue wire to trigger the brake controller. It is the white wire with green stripe. Remove the plastic panel an the right side of the front passenger seat to make the connection then run it to the driver’s side or wherever your brake controller lives.
  13. Diesel Coolant Temp

    Last weekend I was pulling a small trailer (less than 1500lbs) through central Texas in upper 90 F outside temps. My coolant temps reached as high as 224 F on slow rolling hills and would immediately come down to 212-217 F on flat highway. I was trying to maintain 65 MPH and the speed limit was...
  14. Anyone Tow a Camper? Size? Pics?

    Here’s a cool little camper for 2. Small and lightweight so you have plenty of room for extra cargo capacity and still stay under 3500 lbs. Aliner Ascape
