A disconnect switch is always recommended. I put one on mine. The cables are big and direct to the battery so if one of them has an issue it can easily do a lot of damage or burn the whole thing up/down. I have plans to actually switch it out to a relay controlled by a switch inside.
I have...
If I was also thinking if this engine we're talking about has parts sooted up that bad and that soon, what does the rest of the engine look like that didn't get replaced? There's lots of parts pieces and passages.
All of them. It's just a matter of time till the next version will gets it's history of failures. They didn't make hardly any changes to each version, and certainly no physical changes that will make the bottom ends any differnt. They are being discontinued this month. Sure the marketing...
If you ever look at some Ram truck stuff with the eco diesel you would get rid of yours and never own one again. I had one and it was a complete disaster. I beleive the engine itself is very good, but the emissions on it absolutly kills it. I've seen engines taken apart that had the entire...
I went with this plate and there is no need for another bumper or changing lights. It was a very easy install and it allows more room between the winch and grill.

I would be that when your jeep was stolen, one of the things they did was to pull the glove box open to see what they can find and it fell onto the floor. Then by the time you got it back, it's gone. Or is it there and just not put back yet?
I don’t know how well the bottom end can be inspected by taking off the oil pan on these engines
Were not talking engines here, its a discussion on draining the diff. Thats a big DIFFerence. Taking the cover off to inspect IS something you should always do, and you can clearly see the wear...
take that stuff off the bed and store it until you actually need it.
Agreed. I try to not haul around as much stuff unless I need to. And EVERY, did I say EVERY? oil change, I rotate, clean, air up and inspect my tires. I've had heavy trucks with 90k on tires when I sold it and they are...
It's always best to take the cover off and do an inspections and a feel for anything large. That's why they stopped putting drains in trans pans years ago. Of coruse draing and changing the trans fluid in modern trans's have become a stupiud process for another discussion.
Had a long weekend, so I'm just now getting back to this. I'll be in Galveston to do a dock tour of the Texas, so that will be my main goal. I'm going to get a room for Saturday night so I can be at he Gulf Copper place bright and early and rested. The Saturday before is when I'll have a short...
In Febuary, I got a ticket to go see the Battleship Texas on a drydock tour (can't wait). While I'm there, I'd like to get some beach driving in. Has anyone done this (of course someone has, stupid question). Any tips and places or permits that I need to know about? San Luis pass area looks...
