    Made A Flat Tow Mistake

    I think you will be fine. I flat tow behind my motorhome and accidentally knocked the trans out of gear (with t-case in neutral) one day before setting off for about 4 hours at highway speeds. Mine has the super weak AX-5 and while I'm sure I may have added some wear and tear it still works...

    How many of you outdoor cook with a Traeger? If not what is your BBQ rig of choice?

    I use a Traeger Scout. I would love a bigger one but we live full time in a 45 ft diesel pusher and since I flat tow the TJ towing a bigger smoker isn't an option (although some states do allow two trailers, something to think about). After my brother had my brisket on the Scout he went and...

    Advice on how much I should sell my TJ for

    VERY nice Rubicon. Buy a motorized rv and tow the jeep behind it. Bonus when you get hungry while traveling your sandwich maker can go to the fridge and make you a sandwich. Mines not a Rubicon and is no where near as nice as yours but I speak from experience. Done the truck and travel trailer...

    2.5 slow to return to idle

    I wonder if it could be as simple as the PCM needing to relearn since it's been cleaned...... I drove it for a few days so maybe not. Just thinking out loud here. Guess I'll go disconnect the battery and find out.

    2.5 slow to return to idle

    Thanks Chris, Unfortunately the test is going to require equipment that cost more than the part it seems. "IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) MOTOR To perform a complete test of the IAC motor and its circuitry, refer to DRB scan tool and appropriate Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual."

    2.5 slow to return to idle

    Ok, this morning I removed the TB, disassembled, cleaned, reassembled, and reinstalled. No change. Throttle snaps back as it should. I can hear air rushing through the IAC port till the revs come down so I do believe it is a bad IAC. Is there a test I can do on it rather than just throwing...

    2.5 slow to return to idle

    Ok so last week I cleaned the throttle body with some crc throttle body cleaner, I let it take some in through the IAC several times. I did this to resolve a bit of a rough idle and it did the trick. Now after a few days of driving it has a new issue. When coming to a stop the rpm hangs at...

    Bestop replace-a-top fitment

    Their customer service really is amazing. That said their margins on the stuff they don't give away must be incredible for them to be able to give so much away whenever there is an issue.
