Bummed I missed this one. One week after I installed the same kit on my Jeep https://sandiego.craigslist.org/ssd/pts/d/chula-vista-spin-free-locking-hub/7460862258.html Cheers Steve

Are the vibrations damaging components? This question is vague, but has anyone seen driveline failure due to the increased driveline speed from re-gearing? I have the re-gear vibrations that stop when I disconnect the front driveshaft. They start around 44mph, they are not terrible, but...

I think these wheels have their fans. Looks like they 5 x5" bolt pattern. Barn find for $350, no shipping https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/413551427048128/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9fb0d015-5deb-4f4f-9eab-327ba5161715...

I replaced the fan clutch three weeks before the wet stuff. Did not make a difference. Compressed it into the story, so it would not have been so long. Cheers Steve

TL;DR- Spent twice to get where I need to be with my cooling system. Thanks to all the people that document and post their experiences. Becoming a Supporting Member was a no-brainer for me. When I bought my 2004 LJ late last year one of the items I noticed immediately was the plastic radiator...

Hi all, I work for a large electrical utility fleet. We have had a bunch of Catalytic Convertors stolen in the last 24 months. Especially Ford F250/350s and Transit Vans. With all the world wide logistics issues, we have had trouble getting replacements, and trucks sit for weeks before...

Last time I weighed my LJ- Front 2160, 1080/1080 split. Rear is 2060, DS 1040/ PS 1020. No meat in the seat, full tank of fuel. I've recently replaced the front fenders with stock units and did a tuck with Savvy skid plates. I'll get a new weight in a couple of weeks.

Just completing the thread. Received the new Mopar radiator and as others posted, they are a barbed fitting for the hose. Reading another thread it looked like there were ciip or spring lock fittings in the photos hence my question Thanks again Steve

Thanks, all. The Trans cooler is on the list, but not this time. Cheers Steve

I am in the process of replacing the after market radiator with a Mopar 5503 7653AB Radiator. The radiator is in transit, but trying to get everything lined up for a weekend exchange of parts. Do I need fittings for the radiator? Are they clip type or threaded? Currently in the aftermarket unit...

Good call. I went by the local Walmart and they had a couple of bottles. Thanks

The favored coolant flush, Prestone AS105 Radiator Flush and Cleaner is on a national backorder. Amazon delivery dates are into October '21. local auto parts stores is the same story. Anyone use any other (slow) radiator flush they can recommend? Blue Devil and Thermo-cure are a couple that come...

Yep. What Peakbagger said above. Probably an alarm or ignition disable usually mounted behind the gauge cluster.

I am really new to this forum, but I do see a sometimes amusing thread. Previous Owners! Well my turn to share. I’ve seen a bunch of small things that bugged me, but this one is just lazy ass work methods. I am removing the tubular front bumpers and replacing with some stock units, I found on...

How does a motor mount lift affect this procedure?
