If your only expectation is improved appearance, and you like how it looks, then go for it. There is a saying in the aviation world that with enough power, anything can fly. This is true of even the gladiator. It would be interesting to see what a Gladiator with a Helliphant (1000 hp Mopar...

This is a mixed blessing. Last year, I was stuck in the snow with the TC off and the rear axle of my Mojave (no locking front) My problem was the only wheel with decent traction was one of the fronts. So I turned all the electronic nannies back on and actually put it in 4H Auto and the BLD...

BUMP. NOW WILLING TO SEPARATE TIRE AND WHEEL. SEE OP FOR DETAILS.

I've always kept my low beams factory as a consideration to other drivers. Back in the old days I used to run 100 watt H3 bulbs in my high beams from rallybulbs.com. I've also always wired my driving lights in with my high beams. so when I turn them on they only come on with the highs. In...

Differences include that the LT has: 1) reversed cooling - LT heads cooled first which allows higher compression ratio 2) direct injection - also allows higher compression ratio and more power 3) Variable valve timing - more torque at lower RPM and more power at high RPM 4) cylinder deactivation...

The LS is cheaper, simpler and has a larger aftermarket than the LT. But eventually the LT will be where its at. Its an amazing engine. He gets better fuel economy than I do with the pentastar.

That's good to know though. I only used silicone because the locks were getting a little stiff this summer and that's my go-to product for locks.

I'm guessing a call to the manufacturer will answer your question. I'm also betting they will swap for you.

I've used spray silicone and it has worked well so far. Just one cold and wet storm so far. We got 2 ft in NH this weekend. I rarely lock it. But did this weekend since I was traveling with about $5000 in ski gear inside.

My responses in all caps. (I'm not yelling. ) I'm a little conflicted on this one. I've read through the thread and it went off in a few different directions as per the usual. Here's my take no one will care about: 1) 99% of people are not gear heads and by no means qualifed to perform ANY...

Don't give them credit they don't deserve. Its not bureaucracy. A service oriented dealer can work within the needs of the manufacturer and still give good service. This is simply a total lack of any desire to take care of the customer. I worked for a small dealer in a small town. It seemed...

I get it. If you really want to be sure. call the parts dept the morning of and ask if they have the part in stock. Skip service since they are incented to lie to you and if the writer doesn't have time to check with parts, the service writer may say its there then, give you the excuse that...

If anything, you would put a benz engine in it then. But in all seriousness. A friend just put a LT1 connect and cruise system with a 10 spd auto in his JK and its amazing. LT1 takes everything good about the LS and bumps it up a notch. 460 hp and a full GM warranty on the engine and...

I have a friend locally who every 30k miles buys a new set of take off wheels and tires and then sells his complete wheels and tires. He takes about a $500 hit every time. Its brilliant.

The TJ does not have CAN Bus. So there's no point in using an inferior Hemi. But a GM LT1 would be fantastic.

The way to manage this is to ask to be connected to the parts department. Ask them how many of that item they normally stock. Ask them how many they have on hand and if they have any coming in on their next stock order. Tell them that you have an appointment for X date and ask if they can...

The reality in most car dealers is that the service manager and service writers work is heavily weighted around the beginning of the day, lunch, and the end of the day. At 2:00 in the afternoon there is a good chance that a service manager, service writer, or used car tech would have time to...

The process is much harder than it has to be. At the dealer I worked at we would have had the owner just pull up outside. Someone would stick a fluke meter in the harness at the light. Confirm 12v, write up an RO and send the customer on his way. With that RO we could order a replacement...

Something that hasn't really been mentioned is that you can buy K02 Rubicon take offs or Falken AT3 Mojave Take offs for pennies on the dollar. If you're good with 33s (285/70-17s) that is what I would get. Stupid me took the leap to 35s. But if I was still on 33s, I'd probably never buy...

This made me laugh out loud. The new half and full ton trucks look ridiculously large. You look at a 15 year old pickup with similar capabilities and the hood is 6 inches lower.
