So the other day I was taking my TJ to the car wash. As I hit 45 mph, the steering wheel started shaking and I’m all over the road. Immediately turned around and went back home. Did some checking and found that the steering gearbox had one broken bolt and the other 2 were loose. The broken...

Hello all, My TJ had a slight rear main seal leak. I took the advice from others here on the forums and tried a high mileage oil. I used Valvoline High Mileage synthetic blend as I couldn’t find a non-synthetic oil. After the first wheeling trip, just one small drip on the garage floor. Now...

Zoom in on the photos and look around. Tracks where they are not supposed to be brought to you by our friends in the side by side community. This is just off of forest road 2414 in the Beartooth mountains. I have encountered packs of side by sides in my off road adventures over the years...

I too have an unidentified lower. They’re steel and have grease fittings. Can’t find them anywhere on the inter web.

Oh,and still remaining neutral here; cooler air is denser, so more will fit into a given volume. There is that to consider.

I think I’ll wade on in. I ran a dyno at a Caterpillar dealer for a while back in the 80’s. The dyno indicated horsepower was required to to be within 10% of engine nameplate HP before release to the customer. 10% is a lot. To be fair,some of that is from deviations other than the dyno. Now this...

I think the rear seat is designed to accommodate only two passengers. I personally would not add a third seat belt.

It looks like a total hack job. I can’t imagine what the wiring looks like. I’d maybe go 8K if it’s not rusted to shit and I was drunk

Back to the original premise of this thread. The majority of engine wear occurs at cold start up.

Yeah it’s insane psi. We’re on care and maintenance at the job site right now so it usually only runs around 350 kw. I put it on the load bank every couple of days to give it some exercise.

1.5 MW V-16 Cummins currently making 1040KW Note rpm lower right and those are actual engine hours. Oh and it’s burning 75 gallons/hour

Wow. That seems a bit pricey. Even for a no rust garaged Jeep. Not trying to be a dick, but you should keep looking.

Short answer. NO.

I’ve been looking into a rear disc conversion. I’m willing to wait for something from BMB.

It could very well be that the odor is issuing from the recovery tank. Check the plastic cap for damage I don’t recall if there is a seal or gasket also. Check and/or replace the radiator cap, clean the sealing surface in the rad filler neck.

A small diameter plastic hose will. But it takes forever to drain the tank. I did this to drain mine for repair. However a thief is not going to wait. Hence the drilling/ hose cutting. Short of storing in an alarmed garage, it’s near impossible to stop a determined gas stealing scumbag.

When I lived in Alaska (AK) sometimes my stuff ended up in Arkansas (AR) or Alabama (AL).

My last rebuild took 3 months in an uninsulated, unheated shop in the winter of 2017. I had to build a little room out of canvas tarps and use a space heater. The hardest part was simply getting out there to do it. Now that my shop is insulated and heated the next rebuild should be faster.

The crossmember probably took the brunt of it. If there’s no buckling of the frame, I’ll bet the frame springs back when the bent xmember is released.

I don’t think a thermostat would cause your issue. They usually fail stuck open or closed. Maybe the viscous fan drive is nearing its demise?
