    Why is the NSG370 so hated?

    This situation was the last straw for my original NSG370. I was on a very narrow trail in CO when I had to turn around at a snow bank facing downhill. I almost couldn't get into R with my front right down in a ditch. After that trip, I swapped in a High Impact rebuilt NSG370. No more issues...

    Why is the NSG370 so hated?

    The reverse issue was resolved with redesigned parts. I'm having good experience with my High Impact rebuilt. Never pops out of gear. No question if it's in gear or not. Some say High Impact results vary. Most haven't actually invested in a professionally rebuilt example and regurgitate bs...

    4.0 Rebuild or Scrapyard?

    Looks like a probable radiator leak as well. Otherwise, looks clean!

    Leaking A/C high side schrader

    I successfully replaced my leaking high side Schrader using the Mastercool kit. I think that leak was triggered by attaching gauges. The primary leake turned out to be the condenser 🫤

    Attempting to troubleshoot the source of this engine / hose sound

    If that sound is a vacuum leak, I'm surprised it runs. What are idle RPMs? Could it be a pulley bearing going bad?

    Show me where they say it's a JJ.

    Alternative LJ Rubicon locker pump relocation method

    I'm running this on a UCF skid. No rewiring or changing much of anything required. https://barnes4wd.com/products/tj-lj-rubicon-locker-pump-mounting-bracket

    JKS track bar or Rancho?

    I'm pretty sure that is a JKS knock-off of a JJ. Not the same and I don't believe they are equivalent.

    Front Dana 44 Knuckle Options (Hi-Steer)

    Reid Racing made knuckles for the TJ that were designed to accept mid-70s spindles, bearing, hubs, etc. and also had provisions for high-steer arms. I am running a set (without high steer arms). However, they were discontinued a few years ago and are probably incredibly scarce. If you only...

    Gear Ratio for 35's

    I should have been more specific. Interstate speeds are 80 +/-5 mph around here.

    Installed a 1" steering bracket lift with surprising results

    How would a body lift change the relationship between motor mount and frame? We're you possibly thinking about a mml?

    Gear Ratio for 35's

    You ain't cruising at 2500 rpm doing interstate speeds in a TJ on 35s unless you have significantly more power than a stock 4.0 gives you. Maybe for short distances downhill with a tailwind but otherwise, not happening. I can maybe cruise at 2500 rpm at lower speeds in 5th gear. Higher speeds...

    Who Has Bought a Rebuilt NSG370?

    You'd have to call and ask. I think the problem this product purports to solve may not be a problem if you keep your hand off the shifter when you aren't shifting. I don’t have 50k on my rebuilt yet more like 30k. I have noticed that slight pressure on the shifter while in gear creates contact...

    Who Has Bought a Rebuilt NSG370?

    When I bought mine, there were only 2 choices for breakin that preserved the warranty. The choices were Amsoil and I think Valvoline. Later they got more liberal with that. I broke mine in with whatever the non-Amsoil option was. Later, after the warranty period, I went with Redline which might...
