I can't say exactly whats going on since I didn't have any issues like that but I'd assume once you get the new clockspring in things will work again. If not go back and check all the wiring.
It's been awhile since I did the job so I don't recall off hand which wires did what. The...
Wish I had a bit more insight. At this point, it'd probably be best just to take it to the dealer and have them activate the option using their software. The cost won't be fun but at least you'll know if it's the Jscan or wiring.
Please come back and update the thread once you get it resolved...
I was unaware Jscan had the ability to do that. The dealer charged me somewhere in the neighborhood of $250. I can't get over how ridiculous it is though that I need to pay them to activate a part.
Just to close this thread for anyone else who may find this, the instruction manual points to the correct position for all the PDC connections. In my case, I had existing wires in all the locations so as the instructions state I unplugged them and taped them to the harness then plugged in the...
I'm midway through the installation of the hardtop wiring harness and got to the section where you connect the new wires to the PDC
As you can see in the install instructions the BU/WH wire goes into the J1 position in the connector. I already have a larger diameter blue wire in the position...
From what I've seen it really only becomes an issue if you're in a high grip situation and turning the tire into a rock. Without a hydro assist it's a bit harder to get into a situation like that at 12. In the snow my fear at a lower PSI would be going too low and having the tire spin on the...
I went down to 12 PSI when we were at Sand Hollow. I wouldn't go lower without bead locks. Unless I prewarned the group to be prepared for a decent chance that I'd be reseating a bead for "testing purposes"
I'd make sure to go out with a buddy. Getting stuck in the snow, especially when it's deep, isn't too difficult. The Sahara will do great. It's all about lowering your psi to increase the contact patch and a bit of momentum to get you through.
Here's a photo from a few years back on a TJ run...
No rubbing at all. 2 pucks up front and 3 in the back. I need to pull the rear springs and cycle the suspension. My guess is 2 will work in the rear as well. If you go with MC get the spring correction pads for the front as well. Ours had quite a bow to the springs before adding the...
I'm not dismissing your observations but I've heard the opposite. The consensus on the tjforum is that the lsd is prone to failure. Here is a photo I stole from another forum.
I remember that last rock. A bit after that we got hung up on the small Z turn area with the ruts. Took a bit of spotting to get the stock JLU over. That one area is what convinced me it was lift time.
I'm not sure what the snow level is but if there's snow/ice on the ground be weary on the last accent to the summit. While typically a walk in the park with ice or snow it could be a bit challenging given how exposed you are around the steep hills. Also, I don't recall any place to anchor a...
First oil change today. While the jeep is actually covered for 3 free oil changes with the new oil pan skid I figured I should take the opportunity to install a stahlbus value for future oil changes.
Here's a link if anyone else is interested.

Assuming it's a rust free non rubicon LJ you should have no problem getting around 14k for it. I'd probably post it around 16k and see what happens. 6k is a joke.
Looks like a great trip. You were fairly close to signal peak. That's another great trail in the area. I dont have any really great photos though. We took our jeep up there for its maiden offroad journey.
I'd go ED for your use. Once the 4xe runs out of power it reportedly gets worse mpg than a regular 2.0 due to the extra weight. Now if your daily commute was 20 miles or so the 4xe would be a slam dunk. I'd still be a bit nervous about the new technology though until a few years go by and any...
