Iām thinking itās fixable. Another thing is the FAD (front axle disconnect). It has a collar that slides to connect the front axle in 4wd. Maybe itās not fully engaging? You can hear it engage when you shift into 4wd. Thereās a plate they can take off to inspect full engagement and or look for...
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?
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 oneā¦all...
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 youāre 100% sure you did it correctly then give it a little time. The infotainment system can be glitchy. Things are known...
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. Donāt go straight to the dampenerā¦thatās the last thing to check and replace as they can be masking the real issue,, but...
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.
There is usually a difference between ātightā and ātorqued 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...
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 werenāt great, but worked. Colt Builds it on YT. About a month ago.
Iāve flat towed my lifted TJ on 35ās 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...
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!
YouTube has them all. Look for Z-Automotiveās page for the firmware update tutorial. If I recall heās using a Dodge Charger. Quadratec and northridge4x4 for programming tutorials For the Tazer JL/JT.
The problem is, you didnāt unmarry and remove. As a result, the flash they did either didnāt take, or will disappear if/when you unmarry next. When you donāt unmarry the computer doesnāt permanently get the update. This will cause problems as you have encountered. The Tazer programs your factory...
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 tutorialsā¦quadratec, northridge4x4, and Z-Automotive. Watch, rewatch...
Yesā¦Iām 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...
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 youāre-geared, it will think the old gears are still in and will throw things off...
Throwing this out thereā¦do you have a Tazer? Iām 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 knockoffās off Amazon. They worked fine until they didnāt. I have managed to rub a hole through them with my heel in about 10k miles of driving.
