    Sparrows in heat?

    Had the angry sparrows a couple years ago. Replaced with an Adams DS and it was solved. Last couple weeks I’ve been randomly heard an odd squeak, that now is reminding me of the angry sparrows chirp, however rather than being at low speed all the time, I’m now only getting a squeak after I’ve...

    Material / structural advice needed

    I want to be able to "disconnect" my rooftop tent from my Jeep when camping. I've got some trips coming up where I might be in a single location for a week and I'd like to be able to keep the tent at height, but drive out from under it. My thoughts are to mount two hollow crossbars to the tent...

    Distributor issue (Jeep won't start)

    TL : DR - Can where the disti and oil pump mate up get misaligned from the cam gear? I'm assuming yes.... New 4.0 installed by mechanic(had 227k miles and some issues that would only be resolved with a new motor). After a couple hundred miles during the break-in process, the CEL turns on. Scan...

    What part am I looking for here? (Engine bay firewall seal?)

    Had a new engine installed and besides the obvious, some “other” things look different. Most I’m okay with. But I’m noticing new smells in the cab AND I see this seal torn. Are they related? Either way, I’d like to replace it. Maybe I should be buying a generic seal and cutting/installing? Help?

    Front brake hard lines

    Out of curiosity... why aren't hard lines run down the axle with a soft line at the center... and soft at the ends? It seems like with larger lifts, you end up with more soft line that could get in the way/caught.

    HVAC door lever back-ordered so I designed my own

    17910.01 is backordered everywhere. Thought I found one labeled as a Steinjager replacement... but after waiting almost two months and being told that it was likely lost in the mail (ExtremeTerrain), Steinjager responded to me saying they are waiting for Omix Ada and the ETA is mid april...

    Possible to swap 27 to 30 spline spider gears?

    Snapped a Dana 35 axle a week ago. Both a curse and a blessing... didn't snap it on a trail far from home, instead snapped it close to home accelerating too fast from a stoplight. Needed to get back on the road fast, so I just replaced brakes/hardware/wheel cylinders and the axles/bearings/seals...

    Suggestions on stuck c-clip?

    Snapped a rear axle shaft… Got the unbroken shaft out with no issues, but the snapped side is posing a challenge. I’ve got a long wooden dowel pushing the broken piece into the diff, however this side is acting like there’s not enough clearance for the C clip to pop out. Too much pressure seems...

    Center dash panel "blank"?

    Has anyone made or seen a blank center panel lower? I have the newer design with 4 switch spots, two 12v outlets, and the blank space on the right, but recently installed an 8 switch solid state panel so I could get rid of a bunch of relays and clean up my wiring. I'm now trying to clean up my...

    Starter bolts?

    Did some digging and found a couple references to the bolt being an M10-1.5. I picked one up, however it just doesn’t seem to bite. Is there different size I should but using or am I looking at stripped out threads on my starter?

    97 Crank Position Sensor Seal / Gasket?

    Installed a new Mopar CPS yesterday and found a rubber seal around the hole.... crumbling and falling apart. Did a couple searches and can't find a description or part number for the gasket/seal. Anyone have a clue? 1997 4.0 with AX15.

    High output alternators (how much amps?)

    I'm starting to camp more and more from the Jeep and power is pretty important for all my accessories. I am running a dual AGM setup, however it really doesn't do well running my fridge when I'm parked for 2+ days unless I have PLENTY of sun. After a long weekend camping under pine trees I got...

    Accidental P0301 fix

    Interesting... I've been chasing down codes P0300, P0301, and P0306. After last night's replacement of the TB and IACV, I'm down to just a P0301 code. I haven't noticed issues lately, however for awhile I was having some starting issues that seemed fuel related. I guess I know what I need to...

    Throttle body issues?

    I'm at 217k now... Ordered the BBK 62mm one, figuring I might as well replace with new since I've had so many little issues. On a positive note, drive into work today and no codes thrown. Fingers crossed... I'd really like to pass smog and be done with this!

    Throttle body issues?

    Chasing a couple intermittent misfires. Today I replaced some vacuum lines with ones I got from a silicone kit then hooked up a smoker to the Brake booster line. Smoke out the air filter as expected, however I had smoke coming out the throttle body, appearing to come from where the spring is. Is...

    Is a diode needed for dual battery setup if I want two options to bridge?

    Just looked this up. Looks like it really just an automatic version of what I have. No need to run a signal wire to power the solenoid. IF you could program it, and have the disconnect voltage lower than the 12.7volts.... It would be pretty cool. Set it to isolate the two slightly above the...

    Is a diode needed for dual battery setup if I want two options to bridge?

    No worries! I'm all about discussion and learning new things. I'll answer your edited question anyway... since someone it may pose useful for someone in the future. Dual battery setup: Two Optima Blue tops stacked. Both are grounded together to the chassis. The starting battery is used as...

    Is a diode needed for dual battery setup if I want two options to bridge?

    I'm not using a diode to isolate the batteries. I was just asking for advice on whether a diode would be best when adding a second trigger to the current solenoid style battery isolator. I'm able to charge my secondary to the same voltage as the first.

    Is a diode needed for dual battery setup if I want two options to bridge?

    So dual battery setup works and I've been using it for over a year. The question is in relation to having a secondary trigger for the isolator to bridge the batteries. I'll just order a diode off Amazon just for safe measure.

    Is a diode needed for dual battery setup if I want two options to bridge?

    So that would be a second battery just as a backup to start the vehicle, isolated from the primary that would possibly see too deep of a discharge. There is however mention and a link to the 95150 that would be for my situation. Looking at what the 95150 does, I don’t see any benefits to...
