  1. Banging from front end in 4H and 4L

    I’m thinking it’s fixable. Another thing is the FAD (front axle disconnect). It has a collar that slides to connect the front axle in 4wd. Maybe it’s not fully engaging? You can hear it engage when you shift into 4wd. There’s a plate they can take off to inspect full engagement and or look for...
  2. Banging from front end in 4H and 4L

    Add: if you are only in 4wd, no lockers engaged, and going straight, I would guess any banging would either be front driveshaft or front differential. Was it ever re-geared?
  3. Banging from front end in 4H and 4L

    Were you turning and were your lockers on? Hopefully you were not turning while on pavement? You will get some uncomfortable noises in 4wd, especially with lockers. Scrubbing is the most common. Brake Lock Differential engagement, that hill ascent/descent, the off road cruise control one…all...
  4. Tazer issues and Uconnect

    I would retrace all your steps to ensure you performed the firmware update correctly, married it correctly, and properly performed the sleep cycles. They can be tricky. If you’re 100% sure you did it correctly then give it a little time. The infotainment system can be glitchy. Things are known...
  5. Weird occasional wobble in front end

    Check and Re-torque to spec all your steering components, ball joints, lug nuts, etc. check the hubs for play. If all checks out, maybe the steering dampener is worn out. Don’t go straight to the dampener…that’s the last thing to check and replace as they can be masking the real issue,, but...
  6. Any place to compare all of the main lift kits?

    Currie RockJock Pro 3.5. Strong, reliable, rebuildable. No gimmicks, just quality stuff.
  7. 2024 Rubicon no FAD.

    Yes...you can still damage the FAD housing. I've also seen the axle tube fail there, but not sure if the skid will help that...more of a truss would be required.
  8. Loud pop

    There is usually a difference between ā€œtightā€ and ā€œtorqued to specā€. Did you torque to spec? Stock or after market suspension? A lot of after market stuff has rebuildable joints that can pop etc.. What is the situation/condition you hear the pop? Turning? Bumps? Accelerating/Braking? 2wd/4wd...
  9. Temu Products

    I always thought Temu was a joke or something. Never knew anyone that actually used them. Recently a reputable off road builder and fabricator did a show where he used Temu parts for a budget upgrade. They weren’t great, but worked. Colt Builds it on YT. About a month ago.
  10. Towing TJ 600 miles

    I’ve flat towed my lifted TJ on 35’s with my stock JTR from California to Moab and back. The JTR had 4:10 hearing and did just fine. I bought a Harbor fright tow bar and RockJock frame mount tow points. My bumper did not have the right tow points attached. I also borrowed a Blue Ox Flat Tow...
  11. Need help! "SERVICE TRANSMISSION"

    If I recall, the Trans Control Module replacement requires a PCM flash? if so, and you did it yourself, you will need to updates your PCM. You will need to unmarry that Tazer first!
  12. Need help! "SERVICE TRANSMISSION"

    YouTube has them all. Look for Z-Automotiveā€˜s page for the firmware update tutorial. If I recall he’s using a Dodge Charger. Quadratec and northridge4x4 for programming tutorials For the Tazer JL/JT.
  13. Need help! "SERVICE TRANSMISSION"

    While the Tazer is removed, perform a firmware update. Z-Automotive has a good video tutorial on how to do this as well.
  14. Need help! "SERVICE TRANSMISSION"

    The problem is, you didn’t unmarry and remove. As a result, the flash they did either didn’t take, or will disappear if/when you unmarry next. When you don’t unmarry the computer doesn’t permanently get the update. This will cause problems as you have encountered. The Tazer programs your factory...
  15. Need help! "SERVICE TRANSMISSION"

    Well thats unfortunate. That said, you will need to get familiar with it fast. Install and uninstall is a little tricky, as well as programming. Sleep cycles are very important when programming. There are lots of of good YT tutorials…quadratec, northridge4x4, and Z-Automotive. Watch, rewatch...
  16. Need help! "SERVICE TRANSMISSION"

    Yes…I’m guessing this is your problem. It states very clearly in the Tazer instructions that you need to unmarry and remove before having work done at the dealership. I would talk to your dealership. I believe you will need to unmarry and remove, then hook up the wires back to factory. Have the...
  17. Need help! "SERVICE TRANSMISSION"

    So it depends. Did you unmarry and remove the Tazer before the dealer worked on it? This is best practice. And depending on what was done, there can be issues until you marry back up the Tazer. For example, if you’re-geared, it will think the old gears are still in and will throw things off...
  18. Need help! "SERVICE TRANSMISSION"

    Throwing this out there…do you have a Tazer? I’m f so, and the dealer flashed your computer, it needed to be unmarried first. Then married after the flash with your set up. I had a transfer case replaced and while I did unmarry the Tazer, it threw all kinds of codes and service four wheel...

    Currently using some weatherproof Mopar Chinese knockoff’s off Amazon. They worked fine until they didn’t. I have managed to rub a hole through them with my heel in about 10k miles of driving.
