    Questions about swapping in Rubicon driveline, engine, and transmission

    I’m at the end of the AX-15 swap (came from 97) for NSG370 in my 06 Rubi. Last piece is the reverse light. Is there a kit to avoid cutting/splicing wires? I have the old harness from the 97 as well if needed. If I have to splice, where on the harness should I make the cuts 😬. On the...

    2005 Rubicon Rear Differential Rubbing Fuel Tank

    Yes - My rear LCA are around 16" (from 15.75" stock) and uppers around 13.15" (from 13.25"). Its a jack screw, so i could only adjust to half turns. Slight changes for the mild lift. I've read where these 2.5" lifts are installed without adjustable control arms and just use factory control...

    After fix, should I run until check engine clears itself or pro-actively clear codes?

    Combination of both were the solution for fixing codes P0421 and P0431: If loose, try to snug bolts that attach pre-cats to the manifold Run a drive cycle to confirm if that worked (which it didnt for mine) If not do the following: Replace the Pre-cats, O2 downstream for both banks (if...

    2005 Rubicon Rear Differential Rubbing Fuel Tank

    UPDATE: Completely sorted. All adjustable control arms were seized. Had to apply tons of heat with oxy acetylene, pipe wrench, PB blaster and breaker bar to get the snug nut and rear upper threads to budge. I also used the below chart as a guide to set the control arms. So, according to the...

    UPDATE: 1) I used a combination of procedures: The procedure outlined by Boinked and this one below. https://www.wranglerforum.com/f210/obdii-inspection-2-monitors-incomplete-1046209.html#/topics/1046209?page=3 2) I stuck with my gut and kept the CEL on until it naturally cleared 3) CEL...

    After fix, should I run until check engine clears itself or pro-actively clear codes?

    2005 Rubicon. I pulled 2 codes, P421 and P431, indicating Pre-cats are toast and/or leaking. 1st Step: They were loose at the manifold flange, so i took an impact wrench snugged up a bit more thinking it would solve the issue...it didnt and CEL came back on after a drive cycle. 2nd Step...

    2005 Rubicon Rear Differential Rubbing Fuel Tank

    Just purchased this Rubi with what seems to be a Rough Country 2.5” X-series(??) lift with 33’s on 15” wheels. I noticed straight away the rear diff rubbing (more like hitting) the gas tank shield. My observations: - the adjustable control arms seem to be “unwound” a good amount for a 2.5”...
