The pictures probably don’t do the true experience justice. Great pics! I’ll be heading to the BB Ranch State Park later this month, staying near the river. Anything you wish you would’ve done that you didn’t? Anything you didn’t pack that you wish you would’ve?

I went with the 10” as well, placed behind the rear seat on the driver’s side with the speaker facing the tailgate. Left me just enough room to carry my tool bag, ammo can “air compressor case” and recovery bag.

Funny, because I just installed an Alpine Amp and Rockville powered 10” sub yesterday, but there are times I really do appreciate the silence.

Happy to report that I cleaned the ground @pagrey mentioned and replaced the OPDA with the Crown model. I kept the Crown Cam Position Sensor because I first tried the replacement Mopar CPS, and I was still getting a P0344 code. I then changed the CPS back to the Crown CPS and everything is good...

How bad was the coolant before you swapped everything out? Chocolate milk colored coolant? Any overheating or higher than normal readings on the temp gauge? When I flushed and back flushed the core, everything seemed good for a while. I’m not a technician, but I wonder if the heater core is...

I haven’t yet. I replaced the camshaft position sensor with a mopar, the check engine light remained on and I took a drive around the block. When I was making a right hand turn, I could feel it was going to die aaand the Jeep died. I was able to restart and limp it to the driveway. I have a...

Could it be the blower motor resistor? I replaced mine a while back in my 06 because the lowest blower setting had always been out in mine, then the second blower speed stopped working and the third blower speed slowed down. Ha! Once I replaced the resistor, I got all the speeds back.

Thanks for the detail @mopar_tx that should help. I’ll report back when I get the Crown OPDA and the Mopar CPS

Thanks Paul, I’ll take a look at the FSM

I’m beginning to think it’s a bigger problem. I installed a new CPS, it appears to be the same brand because it has the same identifiers on the part - Standard from O’Reilly. Just to cover it, the OPDA is a LDI, Inc. 53010624AC w/ 106060-Rev-E. Is this the crown replacement? I don’t think it...

Thanks! I’ll check this out. It costs more than the replacement part, but it could come in handy in the future as well.

It sure does and I can only speak for the 06 TJ, but the camshaft position sensor for the 06 has the additional wiring (pigtail?) with the plastic flex conduit. I disconnected this sensor from the OPDA if that helps. Also, is this sensor considered a Hall Effect type sensor?

Does anyone know the proper way to test a 2006 TJ 4.0 Auto Camshaft Position Sensor? I have a Check Engine Light (CEL) and code P0340 and I’d like to test the sensor before just tossing it and installing a new one. I cleaned it up before the photo shoot. Thanks!

Short answer, the quick connects on the Mopar radiator are not threaded. The long answer: On my ‘06 SE i6 Auto, the Mopar radiator I ordered came exactly as shown in the pic. You can’t tell but there are “e-clips” on the radiator ports that are easily removed using a pick tool. This style of...

@59 wagon man - thanks - your post helped me to understand what was going on. So mine does this too. I didn't know the Key Cylinder would allow the key to release in the ACC on position. DUH! How lame I felt. Furthermore, my starter stopped working so as I was performing tests with a multimeter...
