Triggered…so wasteful

What you didnt see is he is laying on the ground under the stream.

Ventilation of the engine compartment...and block.

The source is I. One of my many stops in my career path was LEED-certified EMS/BMS architect. Like you, I know a lot about electrical distribution.

I know I know, that's not good enough. Whatever, I don't care.

I was really wondering if there were statistics I didn't know about somewhere, not trying to call you out. But at the risk of coming off like a dick-measuring contest, I'll share my "source".

I worked for a national company that had roughly 50 offices , and each office had 2-5 people that would visit homes 2-3 times/day, 5 days a week, specifically to look at their electric system. All the strange or hard to identify panels or even anything missing a label was routed through me alone to determine brand/size/ect. and if they needed to be upgraded. When I left I took ~30GB of electric panel photos that I had organized. I was identifying 100+ daily and have seen an absolute fuck-ton of residential electrical panels.

That 3.0 is what that became. It's a Pentastar block with either one or two turbos and better internals. Just never came to Jeep.

It's really a shame that they didn't see it viable for the Jeep. A VGT turbo and direct injection with a properly built lower end and head gaskets and studs would be a killer combination for some low end torque and decent hp. Hell the Pentastar is already built with electrification in some models, add that and you would have a torque monster.

That is entirely too many pictures of electrical panels

I might have some undiagnosed issues...

To make it worse, in the Ghibli, it bolts to the 8HP. With the block being the same, I'd wager the motor mounts aren't too far off. Legit, whole drivetrain would already be supported in the JL, just need to figure out where to bolt ancillaries.

Lemme just hit that powerball first...

Or blow the head gasket--which on a 3.6L is almost assuredly going to happen. With 11:1 static compression, there is only so much boost that can be added.

Man, it’s so sad what happened to Autoblog. Got bought out. fired the whole staff. Now it’s just AI generated bullshit — a burned out husk of a website.

See we have quite a bit in common. The only difference in this example is you viewed things from the homeowners side. My data came from the utilities side. Well that and we were doing different things. But I know you saw some scary shit for sure. It was my getting a detailed view of the national electrical grid that made me realize that we have built our society out of popsicle sticks and scotch tape. It's quite unnerving to learn about some of the dangerous shit that lurks "beneath us" holding up our daily lives.

That's because it's the clutch rating not the trans rating.

Everything I've seen indicates the trans is rated for 350 lbs.

This kind of makes sense. I've seen the AL6 referred to as D478, and 478 Nm = 353 lb.ft.

My next/current employment deals with commercial utilities. No transmission stuff yet, but I am definitely no stranger to primary.
