    Scan Tools

    So I recently got "service abs and electronic braking system" messages on my 2018 ram 3500. Internet searching confirmed what the dealership said that it needs a new abs module and hydraulic control unit. Apparently is a well known issue that the NHTSA has opened an investigation on. Hopefully...

    What makes a good trail?

    So a video was recently released showing (local to me) AOAA's new "unnamed" trail. When it was originally announced that they would build it, it was touted as "The Rubicon of the East". With a budget of 10.5 million, there was definitely potential. However, it appears to me to just be a very...

    Trail Comms?

    Now that we've got 2 rigs in the fleet, I've been wanting to get some comms figured out. I've asked Jake what they run in the BK buggies since they have both driver/passenger comms as well as vehicle/vehicle. He pointed me towards a $2k+ Rugged setup which seems to me might be a little overkill...

    Brake Question

    So the brakes on the yj project are having issues, but not what I expected. 14 bolt rear with the standard disc swap and 05+ superduty stock discs up front. They actually work fairly well considering I'm running the stock booster and master cylinder. However, they're dragging a good bit now. To...

    LS guys, help?

    Bone stock lq4 here. Last trip out I developed a rough idle after taking a hard hit to the belly. Checked the codes and it's showing a dead o2 sensor, which makes sense. Haven't touched it in over a month but went to move it today and it's idling the same at cold start. I figured if it was on...

    Re-venge YJ Tons Swap

    Built this 89 yj over the past few years so the wife could follow us around and so both of our kids could wheel with us. Last summer was the first it was out and it did well for what it is. But being on 35's and leafs, it was a rough ride and although she could follow on the connecting trails...

    SD60 Replacement Stud Length?

    I've redrilled a set of these hubs once before but can't remember what studs I used. Can't seem to find any info online either. I'm seeing Dorman 610-347 a lot but those are just a 9/16 x 18 version of the stock studs, which are all but 3" long. Then you lose another ⅞ till you get through the...

    Transmission cooler in front of radiator?

    Recently upgraded my radiator fans and the engine temp doesn't seem to flinch anymore for the most part. On one beatdown the trans actually got hotter than the coolant. That's a first for me. I've got a derale stacked plate trans cooler but now I'm wondering if maybe I should just mount a cooler...

    30'+ Gooseneck Trailer

    Just seeing what's out there for open deck trailers. Need 30' but would go as big as 40'. Also prefer tandem duals. I'm in PA but would be willing to drive for a deal. So if y'all have one or know of any, let me know! Thanks

    Sway bar tabs bending?

    Just trying to figure out what I'm missing here. Recently purchased and installed a TK1 sway bar for my buggy. They have a real nice write-up on their site laying out all of the optimal positions for the whole thing. Such as end links at least as long as the shock travel, end link to axle...

    5.3 No throttle

    Just finished my gen 3 5.3 swap in my yj using a PSI conversions harness. This engine is dbw. Starts and runs fine but after a couple of blips of the throttle, I lose all throttle response and the pedal is essentially dead. Throws a U0107 code which from my research is indicating a possible...

    GM pump to YJ steering box.

    Does anyone know of anywhere that carries conversion lines to connect a truck (5.3L) steering pump to a YJ steering box? Or at least what size/type fittings are on both ends? At least then I could get a set made.

    Gasket or RTV?

    Got my trans from PTC and the pan leaked right away. Found a hunk of oily dirt between the trans and gasket, no big deal, **** happens. I didn't have a gasket on hand so laid down a bead of rtv. Reassembled and still leaked at the pan. Pulled it again and went with a moroso gasket since I had...

    Trans Cooler Question

    Currently have a Derale 2 row cooler with fan on my th400. Seemed to do fine when the trans was stock but when I upgraded, ptc spec'd out a 3k converter which likes to build up quite a bit of heat when trying to crawl stuff. I have a 2nd trans cooler that is basically the same thing but only...

    Now a question for the th400 guys...

    So let's get this out of the way first, I'm an idiot. :****: Was trying to find the source of a small trans leak (ptc th400 fmrv) and thought it might have been the plug where the vacuum modulator used to be. So I removed the retainer, wiped it down and waited to see if it leaked. In the...

    Anyone ever rebuilt a psc double ended ram?

    One of my seals is leaking pretty badly. I've got what looks to be a rebuild kit for the entire ram but I'm short on time so was just going to do the one outside seal for now. Is it just as simple as removing the clevis and unscrewing the cap at the end? If so, I think I could probably do it...

    Stolen YJ

    I know it's not close to most of you but I wouldn't think a car thief would keep something local. I sold my 94 yj to a fella about 2 months ago and it was just stolen from in front of his house last night in North Philadelphia. License plate (not that it really matters I'm sure) is Pennsylvania...

    Sandblasting Cost

    I've never had anything blasted before so I have no idea what a reasonable price is to pay. For any of yous that have had a full tube chassis blasted, what did it run ya? I'm not getting powder at the same time if that makes a difference but I'm waiting on a couple of quotes and am trying to see...
