    STICKY Share Your 3D Design Files (or Sell a DIY Part)

    Good looking out! I've been in a busy season of life and haven't had a lot of time to improve the site, but there IS a submit a part option at the bottom of the site in the footer. I'm going to see about adding a bulk part submission, but also I'll run a scrape on this thread and get you loaded...

    4.0 makes sound on start-up

    its kind of hard to find videos of piston slap without having to sift through a lot of video to get to it. id be interested in hearing too. i usually get a long screwdriver and just start putting it in places to try and figure out where the origin is. lifter noise will be really loud up top...

    What have you 3D printed for your TJ?

    I spent more time adding some human feel to the site. The initial run of the front end was pretty bot-ish. I spent majority of the time laying out a good scrape for this post specifically, and also integrated some of the main STL marketplace's apis to get jeep-specific print files in one place...

    What have you 3D printed for your TJ?

    Most definitely is Claude at work. I gave it an architecture plan and told it to go nuts. I don’t think there’s much monetization opportunity here so I’ll keep it free and also let it take up as little of my free time as possible

    What have you 3D printed for your TJ?

    I got a wild hair recently... I build software for a living, web applications to be specific. i also have an LJ, and casually browse this post specifically to see what kind of cool stuff you folks are printing. Love the forum, I'm a supporting member, but this thread gave me an idea. I've...

    4.8 Swap LJ

    love this whole thread. 4.8 is a stout motor and i bet your LJ feels a lot better with the added power. totally agree on AC too, i have a 4 year old and a passenger princess wife that couldn't go without it. i honestly dont think i could go long without it either. i daily drive my LJ and want it...

    Trade advice: trade in my 06 TJ for a minty 04 LJ?

    if you don't mind an automatic, i'd say go 04. in your 06, there are higher chances of PCM issues, OPDA issues, and a few quirks of late stage 4.0 that jeepers seem to prefer avoiding. I bought an 06 LJ and have really enjoyed the platform over the TJ. The amount of room is nice. Since your...

    Where can I buy the most reliable aftermarket camshaft position sensor?

    I’m OP and those were my pics. Each of those sensors came from the oil pump drive assembly, which is where the camshaft position sensor sits. Crankshaft position sensor sits on transmission bell housing. They may differ after 2004, the 2005-06 OPDA is a different design than the previous years...

    Where can I buy the most reliable aftermarket camshaft position sensor?

    Small update - caved and brought it to a shop for a CPS/CKS relearn and OPDA clocking. My diag tool can't read OPDA timing, and I didn't want to spend for an Autel. Cost me $195 to have everything looked over. They brought my OPDA down from 7.2º to 0.2º and the relearn took just fine. Runs just...

    Selling my TJ for a iCar v23 (EV from China)

    Thats a sick looking rig. Seems like it fits your use case well. I look forward to hearing more about it! If you can pop the top off, it would win me over

    Where can I buy the most reliable aftermarket camshaft position sensor?

    I got the NAPA part installed today, and did a voltage drain by removing positive and negative from battery and connecting them together for about half an hour. We will see how well this works. The wiring looks fine, as far back as I checked it. Started back up great, everything looks good on...

    Where can I buy the most reliable aftermarket camshaft position sensor?

    I already bought the Napa branded one, I’ll probably install it and still do a learn procedure. Crown auto themselves say to keep the mopar CPS instead of their sensor, so I’ll go with the “good” brand and take your advice

    Where can I buy the most reliable aftermarket camshaft position sensor?

    I went ahead and ordered a new Napa sensor. I’ll double check the wiring while I’m at it
