    Torque management request sense

    Does the TCM for the 42RLE use the "torque management request sense" circuit? The FSM says it's pin 10 of the 60P TCM connector. Diagnostic procedures for it in the FSM indicate it's pulled high by the PCM to more than 7V (I'm assuming it's pulled up to battery voltage), and when the...

    Custom TCU for 04 with 42RLE

    Has anyone attempted anything like this? On paper it looks like the most time consuming aspect would be reverse engineering the one-wire PCI protocol. I believe the two-wire SCI bus is only used for diagnostics, so don't worry about that? Looks like there is lots of information available for...

    The great resignation—where is the hired help?

    I've heard people mention that verse from 2 Thessalonians 3:10 more often since COVID than ever before haha. Both of my parents are very hard workers. We didn't have a lot of money but my mom stayed home to raise me and my siblings (until we were older, then she took a job), and I don't recall...

    The great resignation—where is the hired help?

    Yes I'm being serious. Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post publicly. Yeah two has been a fun age. One of the benefits of working from home has been to see him grow up through all the stages so far: crawling, walking, running, babbling, jabbering.

    The great resignation—where is the hired help?

    What's the Bible have to say about this? And since you brought up generation gaps, I'm a Millennial (I was in middle school when the Twin Towers fell and only barely remember it) with a wife and a two year old. I'd be willing to bet you were doing something other than being born in 1990. So any...

    No dice. Maybe car-part.com?

    Front driveshaft greaseable vs non-greaseable centering yoke

    Denny's confirmed: Nice! Now I just need some free time. Anyone know where I can get that?

    Front driveshaft greaseable vs non-greaseable centering yoke

    By the way, if anyone else is wondering how a centering yoke works:

    Front driveshaft greaseable vs non-greaseable centering yoke

    I emailed them per y'all's advice. This is what my email to Denny's said: And this is what they replied: These are about the best pictures I can get of the DC without taking my driveshaft out (now's not a good time for that). I tried to rub it a little bit (that's as far as I can reach)...

    Front driveshaft greaseable vs non-greaseable centering yoke

    I have a stock 04 Unlimited. I ordered this rebuild kit from Denny's Driveshaft for the front driveshaft. But now I'm seeing where Denny's says: How can I tell whether my front CV centering yoke is greaseable or not? It's hard for me to get a good look and I don't know what to look for. And...

    WTB: 03-06 Radio

    You can also check car-part.com. They'll list parts that will fit from other vehicles. Turns out the radio from an 02 Liberty is exactly the same as in my 04 Unlimited (I needed to replace some missing knobs).

    Need to depress clutch to start in 4 LO

    Sounds like it's too hyper and wound up. Try not to give it so many pep talks or sound so excited to be in 4LO.

    Toyota lights on your TJ! Cheap, quality LED alternative

    Have been running these on my Jeep for a little bit. Definitely much better than the stock (original?) sealed beams they replaced. At the same time not as good as the headlights in our Honda Odyssey. Could use more light output, and the high beam pattern could be wider. But definitely a vast...

    Help diagnosing sound

    I do have a full set of U joints ready to go when the time comes. I'm fixing to put the Jeep in the garage for the winter, so maybe this winter is time. Doesn't seem to change with the slight amount of side loading I'm able to put on it while driving 45. Disc brakes. But I think the principle...
