So I had an OPDA failure this spring and looking at my camshaft the gears look pretty worn. Worn to the point I don't want to drive it out of fear of losing oil pressure So its time to replace my camshaft. Are there any good high quality recommendations? My first priority would be a camshaft...

Any other thoughts on that cam gear in the first post? Do I need a new cam ASAP or can I run it with that worn cam? I was thinking about driving it through the summer with that old cam and then replacing it this winter. But knowing myself, if it worked through the summer, I'd probably drive it...

Good points. That crack will tighten up as it slides into the OPDA. So it seems unlikely it moved unless it was not in all the way from new. So its possible the shaft is bent slightly. That might also explain why it didn't spin with even resistance all the way through its rotation.

Both units have the red locking tabs. I was referring to the inside of the plug. You should see it in the pictures.

So looking at the sensors I found some interesting things. It doesn't change that my cam gear is still really worn, but I've made some interesting observations. First off the sensor that came out of my Dorman appears to have rubbed the timing wheel a little and the housing has a crack. Could...

So spinning the old Dorman OPDA it spins relatively freely, but not consistently. As I spin it, I can feel it spin easily then get a little harder. Or if I start in a section that has more resistance, I will feel the resistance suddenly disappear and it will spin quicker with the same force...

I got a P0344 Code. I never spun the Dorman. I did noticed that it felt pretty free with the little movement it had with the lock pin in it. I'm going to look at things again tonight. I've read they can spin free without a load, but bind up with a side load. So I'll look it over a little...

The problem that I see with that solution is that the cam was fine when I changed out the previous OPDA for the Dorman. So I think the Dorman was sticking and caused the wear on the cam. I wonder if the dorman gear was hardened more than the cam gear and the cam took all of the wear. Also I...

So a couple of weeks ago I got a P0344 Code and my LJ went into limp mode. Having previously replaced my OPDA with a Dorman unit about 10 years ago (but only 40,000 miles on the Dorman unit since then), I was aware of the OPDA issue. So I ordered a Crown OPDA and installed it last night...

Oh I'm not leaving. I still have my LJ and I still like to talk about TJs/LJs. I just don't frequent the forum as often since my LJ project is mostly finished and gets driven less. ...oh no, did I just say my LJ was finished. I'm sure that will come back to bite me. I still have plans for...

I just wanted to say I miss this forum. I still have my LJ, but I purchased a JK last year and that is now my primary ride. So the LJ doesn't get much attention lately, and I don't spend much time here. But I will say that the JK side of the forum is a bit of a different mindset. There is a...

Nice that you were able to sit in them. That is one of my biggest hold ups. Let us know your base solution when you get them in.

How do you like the PRP seats. I've been needing new foam for years. But like others have noted, the seats themselves are in great shape. So last year I installed some new foam over my old foam. It helped, but I keep eyeing the PRP seats.

Chris thanks for sending out the PM reminder. I had completely forgotten about TJFest. I'll have to see if I can make this work somehow. I'd still love to join in on this.

This is a pretty hotly argued topic in the forum. Personally I really Iike my dual rate JKS coils. I did notice a very slight improvement in ride quality. However, most people will never notice the difference. Infact, if you argued it was a placebo effect or due to a 1" taller spring, I...

Thanks Jerry. I was hoping you would chime in on that. It has been so long since I replaced my radiator I couldn't remember for sure if my new hose had the spring or not. I just remembered my OEM did and there was some discussion about it at the time. However, while that may be true for...

As mentioned already, I would be sure to replace all the hoses and the cap to make sure its not something else. Might be a good time to have it flushed as well. Just to make sure its not something stopping the flow and causing over pressurization. Oh, also check to see if the new hose (I...

Your speaker needs something around the back or it needs to be mounted in a solid wall like a dash or rear deck for an infinite baffle setup. The reason is, if your speaker is not enclosed or in a baffle, the sound waves coming off the back of the speaker will wrap around the front and they...

I was just over on the wranglerjlforum reading a thread where someone was all excited about some $2000 noise generator he installed on his 4xe to make it sound like a 392. He posted videos and it appears the system consist of some sort of exterior exhaust speaker system to make the noise. It...

I was thinking about this last night. Maybe Currie should eliminate the grease zerks and use a teflon coated race. That's basically how my DDB bushings handle the wear issue. Then I decided it might be just as effective to just use Kevlar in the bushing compound. Not that Currie has ever had...
