Well the time has arrived - we are moving in T-2 days!
Spent the last few weeks buttoning up everything I could on the LJ. I had a small coolant leak that I couldn't track down. When my buddy was in from TX, we built him a set of axles. He was able to spot the seam where the leak was coming from, so I ended up ordering a brand new Mopar replacement, as well as a replacement radiator cap and overflow tank cap.

The WranglerFix ECM appears to be working fine, though there are some quirks that I am working out with Mark. First, the CEL doesn't immediately light up with the key turned on.

After about 13 seconds, the security light comes on, followed quickly by the CEL. Sometimes the gas tank light goes off and comes back on at the same time.

With the CEL not coming on, I am having a hard time connecting to the OBD-II diagnostic. My scanner will pull PIDs once the vehicle is running and will pull active codes once running, but will not connect with just the key on. Mark is going over it with his technician, so hopefully we can have an answer soon. With my move coming quick and with the engine running strong, I haven't worried about it too much.

Had a fairly modest oil leak after replacing the clutch and RMS. I suspected it was the oil pan gasket; the pan was tweaked slightly on the bottom, which I know can exacerbate an oil leak. I ordered a replacement Dorman pan from Amazon on the "Open Box" sale (only $22!) and a new gasket, this time I went with FelPro vs the Mahle. With +110º temps, this was not enjoyable to replace, but I got it done and it appears to be fixed - I did not want to move to the new house and have oil drips all over the garage and driveway.
I'm still dealing with some death wobble which I can only attribute to the steering box. I have a new one coming (the PSC XD Big Bore) but it's still back ordered (as is my Magnaflow exhaust). I guess these will have no choice but wait until after the move is complete to fix...
Wish me luck on the move - 4.5 days with a 20' U-Haul towing the LJ, with my boy and 2-cats inside, with my wife and daughter following behind in her Grand Cherokee, with 2 cats and our Golden Retriever in the back. So far, the weather looks to be working in our favor and we are keeping our fingers crossed for a smooth, scenic and event-free trip.
