I'm no genius, but the high lift follower failure looks like either a poor heat treatment on the part, or poor oiling of the cam. Or even poor shear strength on the oil. Once you wear past the surface heat treat on the follower it's game over. Softer steel underneath and it just disintegrates...

I'm not recommending anyone deviate from the manufacturers specification without doing your own due diligence. Simply stating what I use and have many years of experience with on these engines. Hell, the oil I run isn't even API certified. Though Red Line does now offer their Professional...

It's a bit thicker, more film strength, less blow by. Only reason FCA changed the viscosity was to chase CAFE standards. Thinner oil has less resistance for a fraction of a percent of better efficiency. 2010-2012 required 5W30 2013-mid2016 required 5W20 mid2016-present 0W20 People say they...

Someone mentioned they were worried about the oil causing a If you take an average of 3000 miles with an average fuel economy of 19 miles per gallon to consume roughly 157 gallons of fuel, and an oil collection rate of 4 ounces over than 3000 miles, that comes out to a dilution ratio of...

Why not use both port and direct injection? There are some engines already doing this to combat the carbon issue and split the duty cycle depending on RPM and engine temp.

This.

I'm at 140k on my 2012 JKR with the OG 3.6 and AA left side head. It still runs perfect, doesn't burn oil, no ticking, UOA's come back showing no signs of wear. It's also ran a K&N air filter it's entire, thoroughly abused off-road life. Though I've been running Redline 5w30 in it since buying...

Yeah, your Gladiator ain't makin it. My 2dr Rubicon with long arms ain't makin it. It's harder than hard.

The front side of Daniel is a literal boulder field. It's where the guys who have custom built crawling rigs on 40's+ that are trailered in go to get stuck. I'm taking 3-5' boulders. An entire slope packed with them. You can go up the back side if Daniel to watch those guys tear their shit up.

I know this is old, but wanted to chime in. With careful line picking your rig can run all the trails except Daniel from the 555 service road. If you take 553 to Rocky Mount you can run up the back side of Daniel no problem. The place is very rocky with good drainage, mostly 2 way trails with...

This. As someone that used to install back in the mid 90's to mid 00's MB Quart was a good company. One of the top brands as far as construction and sound quality. Then they were bought out by Maxxsonics. Manufacturing went to China and quality went to complete shit. Not for nothing, but there...

I've ran two sets of MTR/K's on my JKR. Hands down the best rock tire I've ever used. Sidewalls are really strong. Very sticky tire and can take very low pressures with ease. Just about everyone in the Jeep clubs I'm part of run MTR/K's if they're hitting the rocks. Only down side is you need...

It was on my invoice when I ordered.

That's a manufacturer charge for the fuel added during the build.

Moisten the micro fiber you are using to apply the product. Not wet, just damp. Spray the product on to the microfiber, not the painted surface. Wipe it on in crisscross pattern, then immediately remove with a dry micro fiber towel. Do small sections of 12-18" square. You may not think the...

That's not from cleaning. That's from whatever is on the OP's fingers when touching it.

I don't know. Have wheeled my JKR all over the place, through the gnarliest of gnar. I can probably count the times I've used my lockers on 1 hand. Though a 2 door JKR is probably a bit more nimble through stuff than a JT is.

Rear seals have been leaking on my JKR for, oh, 7 years now. LOL It's such a slow leak on both sides that I haven't bothered to replace the shafts. No rust back there though! BONUS! I'll have to double check my JT. Last time I crawled under there was a couple thousand miles ago. She has 9k on...

Dealer replaced my steering wheel due to the tech putting a small nick in the leather. Tell them you would like your top replaced. You didn't damage it. You don't want a repaired top. You want an undamaged top.

Yup, best AT in the business right now.
