Good choice on going with the swap. I’ve looked at the 392 wrangler and can’t get past the clutch pack driving the front wheels. I prefer mechanical connections.

The overflow bottle has a drain hose that allows pressure and coolant to bleed off. Put some gauze or something similar in or around the hose. Run around for 30 minutes, park it and if the gauze get damp you’ve found the “leak”. If it’s bone dry, you may want to get a second opinion.

We live in a throw away society where the norm is to replace rather than repair. Why check your oil periodically and catch an issue before it becomes a problem when you can buy a new one? All my CAT engines have dip sticks, over 400k miles and still going strong.

Nothing to worry about here.

I carry a set of 15’ long 4 gauge jumper cables made from old Arc welding leads from my OTR diesel mechanic days. I’ve jumped everything with these cables. For lesser charging systems, I have a boost box.

Have you checked to make sure you've got 12v at the AUX leads? Check your grounds...

I’m 46 and have retired from over the road heavy diesel work and am in IT now. I still do work on the side and will never sell my tools.

Nope. I spent 20 years and $400k amassing these tools. Go get your own... From the business perspective, you'll need a good legal team and insurance to rent anything to anyone that has no business using these specialty tools. One oopsie, someone gets hurt and they'll come after you for...

Enough greenbacks and anything can fit...

Late to the diagnosis party here…. P026D is a symptom code and usually not the underlying issue. More fuel from an over fueling injector causes these variable geometry turbos to freak out and want to push more air. Cracks in the charge tube will create an under boost condition which is rare...

I’m casually looking at a leftover 2023 Willys ecodiesel myself as dealers are getting a bit desperate to move these 2023’s four months into 2024. We’ll see….

I’ve got a set of factory sliders with hardware you can have if you ever pass through North Texas.

You have XX number of oil changes on the books. The quicker you use them up the quicker the FCA dealer network gets the liability off the corporate books.

Retired salty diesel technician perspective here…. Go get the diesel.
