    Another "just quits running" mystery; 2000 TJ 4.0

    Any updates or solution? I am having similar issue with my 06 LJ - only happens under load or at idle. Dies while driving or idle, speedo pegs to over 100. Will restart okay, and then continue. This morning it happened after ~15 min drive while exiting a round-about. Died once, was able to...

    WWYD?

    I'll add if it's the 4.0L, great time to do the rear main seal and valve cover gasket. The valve cover isn't bad, but that rear main is way easier with the drive train out.

    DRB III Emulator in a Virtual Machine

    I'll be watching this closely - should be a huge help to those who like to tinker. Would love to see TCM info as well - maybe maybe ? 🤞

    Source for Mopar 06 Camshaft Position Sensor?

    yea....I know that a few members here bought extras on amazon a while back for backups - hoping someone would be willing to sell an extra. With the new rules on classifieds, I can't do a WTB post there...

    Source for Mopar 06 Camshaft Position Sensor?

    Anyone happen to have a source for the OEM Mopar camshaft position sensor for an 06 LJ 4.0? I can't find any sources for them who has them still in stock, called dealership and they can't find one either.

    Stripped transfer case drain plug

    Well, update here. Tried torx first. The t55 is about the same size as the stripped m10 hex, so it wasn't quite big enough. T60 was slightly too big, and I wasn't able to get it deep enough to bite well and just stripped it more. Ended up welding a cheap 3" long 3/8" extension into the hole and...

    Stripped transfer case drain plug

    Well, it happened. Stripped the drain plug on the transfer case. Fill plug came out fine. After heat, PB blaster, tapping - thought it was coming out..but stripped instead. Any tips/tricks? First instinct is order an ez-out that will fit nicely in the nice round hole that's there now. If that...

    How to get steering wheel audio controls in a TJ

    Good deal. The arduino's built in regulator should have been able to handle cleaning up the supply power though, however if it was over 12V (charging from the alternator) - maybe it had issues? Also - I'm not sure the Arduino will run with 5V to the Vin line - Vin normally requires 7-12V. You...

    How to get steering wheel audio controls in a TJ

    That's interesting although not unexpected from running the Arduino off the direct +12V line. Do you have schematic and code for the new implementation? I see at a minimum you are now using the reference voltage at the same voltage as the Vdd of the digital pot as well as the Vin on the...

    How to get steering wheel audio controls in a TJ

    Didn't notice this before - but you added some caps to the PCB design that were not in the original list - guessing they are for power filtering? Doing the math, the PCM would see the following for possible resistance values - this assumes 1% tolerance resistors on everything, and calculating...

    Starter issue and transfer case bracket

    For cable shifters - Savvy, Novak - those are the better ones. Steinjager makes a knock-off for cheaper, not sure the quality - they seem to have lackluster reviews on the normal sites (~3.5 stars) If you want the two rubber bushings that hold the bracket to the tub that I didn't shred..I'll...

    Starter issue and transfer case bracket

    @dockdoc - I don't have all 4 rubber bushings, but I do have two of them and the parts pictured below (and the rest of the linkage if required). My experience with the rubber bushings was hit or miss. Half of mine (2 out of 4) came out undamaged - but I wasn't trying to save them either. Maybe...
