Always love watching your builds... Clean clean clean :awesomework: :corn:

Yes, it's got ABS and I've done the Starscan tool bleed procedure more than once already. My biggest question/concern is with the difference in pedal travel when trying to bleed the front versus the rear? What would make the pedal travel shorter on the rear calipers? And why?

Need some basic brake system help. Still working on the same 2009 JKU, and have installed a Mopar Big Brake Kit which consists of a new master cylinder, booster, and front calipers/rotors. I’m battling an extremely soft, and sometimes non-existent, brake pedal. It really acts as if there is...

At first, I was bumming thinking the same thing. But, after thinking about it some more, there is actually no relationship between a tweaked axle housing and the mounting of the rotors or calipers. It's all in the knuckles... If the housing is bent, so be it, but it has no bearing on the...

I have found the answer to the issue... First and foremost, I went back and looked closely at the entire knuckle assembly and found what appeared to be a plastic spacer between the knuckle and the unit bearing. I took it apart, and sure enough, there was a nylon shim in there - and it was...

I'm working on the front brakes for a 2009 Jeep Wrangler, the driver side specifically, and it appears the caliper mount bracket has been contacting the rotor for some time. After disassembling everything and checking it out, the cast mounting ears on the knuckle don't appear to be square to...

You are a sick, sick, man... :D:D:D

Huh... so it literally just pulls the O2 sensor up and out of the exhaust pipe a little bit, cool!! I will have Jim try it out, thanks for the info guys!! Back on my issue, I still haven't had time to get the LJ back on the rack to pull the exhaust system, but I'm hoping to get to it in the...

Tell me more about these $5 extenders?? I've got a buddy with a similar 2004 LJ that has hollowed out the pre-cats, and gets a CEL every few hundred miles that he just clears with a cheap code reader. Do these extenders fool the computer somehow to make it think things are back to normal and...

Thanks for the input everyone!! I have thought about a possible issue with the cat, will definitely see if I can tear into the exhaust system and give that a visual inspection. The change in exhaust note and general sluggish performance do seem to add up to something along those lines...

Chasing a problem on my 2004 LJ that's got the 4.0L/42RLE automatic... About a year ago, after a long loose/rocky climb in the Naches area on a particularly warm summer day, the engine quit while idling at the top of the hill waiting for my wheeling buddy, and it would not restart for about...

I pulled the end cap off the motor and took a peak inside. I didn't see anything burned or obviously broken, and I also gently pushed the magnets up away from the armature to see if they were sticking. I was able to spin the motor shaft freely by hand with the clutch in free-wheel? Yep, A is...

I tried jumping the motor as described (I think...): * Winch ground wire from the ground lug on the motor case to the negative battery terminal * 4ga jumper wire from A lug to F1 lug on motor * Automotive jumper cables, pos/neg at battery. Other end of negative clamped to ground lug on winch...

Thanks for the help!! I also just found a couple very detailed write-ups on 8274 rebuilds, and in doing more and more reading it sounds like it may be as simple as corrosion issue with the brushes inside the motor case. I'll tear it all apart and clean all of the connection points, jumper the...

Bringing this back up... I sold the M8000 to a buddy that made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Since then however, I have finished work on my '47 CJ-2A and slapped on a Warn 8274 that has been in our family since new. Sometime in the mid 80's my old man swapped out all of the solenoids for...

Thanks for the input guys!!

I'm about to embark on a complete drivetrain swap on a J-series pickup, which will more than likely require several stabs of the engine/transmission to get the mounts laid out and fabricated. I'm installing a bone stock TBI Chevy 350, and I'm curious about using an intake mounted lift plate -...

Let me mull this over for a bit... I have a buddy that says he knows a trick to test the motor, and hopefully determine if dropping $85 will be a win or a waste. If the motor is bad, I will probably replace it and (hopefully) call it good, otherwise I'll be ready for a fire sale because I'm...

Well... I swapped negative cables and cleaned up the connection point on the winch motor, and the connecting bolt itself. About 3 seconds into another test run (again no cable or load of any sort), the negative battery terminal let off a puff of smoke and now its completely dead. No clicks...

Good tip, I'll check that too! Thanks!
