You need to calibrate your Cam Phazers. If it doesn't appear as an option for your vehicle, then you need to have HP Tuners unlock it for your truck. This is the same exact problem I had with my truck with the HP Tuners ECM. It will periodically throw P0017 and P0018 codes. If you pull...

Reminds me of my time in the AF torquing the aft mount bolts on a GAU-8. I split a snap-on socket and ended up with a nice little permanent keep sake on my face. I saw that torque wrench snap, I was expecting to see blood.

Dave what is the level of difficulty to get to those lifters and replace them with the correct parts before they do the damage? I am an old school shade tree mechanic that has adjusted valves on my old chevy trucks in the past, but never done a tear down and rebuild. Is this something doable...

She installs one bank, then they cut the video as she rotates the engine 180 degrees to install the other bank of lifters. If they don't have the lifters sectioned off in the parts area she is pulling from one set will be installed backwards of the other. So that is why we are only having...

That was crazy. ground the front rim down to nothing. I am guessing it was stolen, but they didn't run once they finally came to a stop and there were no cops chasing it. I loved the comment of the guy filming. "I gotta see this Sh**" and he starts to follow the Jeep.

Well that is pretty specific

This looks like a Jeepney out of the Phillipines. Most of those jeeps date back 2 world war 2. They have been piecing them back together without access to Chrysler parts for decades. They are simply as scary as any roller coaster and one of the main forms of transportation. What you call...

Running around Jeep beach and saw a place selling 3 of these. Not my bag of tea, but thought ya'll might enjoy the view.

Wow, they chopped the frame horns right off that jeep! Interesting bumper they fit over it to still fit a winch. That has to improve approach angle.

These are interesting arguments, but the game has changed in this engine. We have Cam Phazers. You need to change your oil every 3,000 miles. If those phazers get dirty, your Variable cams stop working correctly. Every mechanic I know that understands them and has experience on engines with...

It doesn't matter what you get. The reason the bumpers stick so far forward is the frame horns are so long. I took a steel rubicon front bumper and removed the crush cans, it only sticks 1 inch pas the front of the frame horns. That means it is only 3 inches shorter than stock. Unless you...

For those who have a maggie, but are still on the original pulley, it is time to pulley down. I have had my Maggie installed for almost a year. It was good with Dave's tune on the original pulley, but everything is better with the smaller pulley! I have been on the small pulley tunes for about...

My biggest complaint at this point with the MT is the Reverse gear. Even with the improved clutch, the reverse is so tall that is can make life a pain when trying to back up a hill, or back a trailer up. I needed the manual. I love the manual, as long as I don't need reverse. A re-gear...

LSD are going away because the rest of the market has moved on from solid axles! Modern 4WD/AWD systems do the same thing as an LSD without the need for it to be gear controlled. The vehicles automatically shift torque to the wheel with traction. We are driving vehicles using the same...

I lost 2 of my favorite bosses to Covid in the last 2 years. They unfortunately caught it before the life saving vaccines and monoclonal anti-body treatments were available. They would have jumped for the chance to get the shots and live! Since My MIL was in cancer treatments, we were very...

Happy April Fools Day!

Wait, what Ram 1500 springs in back? What is the benefit from that? Is there a ride height, weight benefit? How difficult was the mod?

Stock Sport S springs, Falcon 2.0 shocks set soft, Stock Rubicon AT3 tires running 32psi. The shocks and lower psi help, but still on every speed bump I get a small amount of sideways hop. I have had worse, but definitely not a truck I would be flying down a gravel road at 60MPH like I used...

I agree with Papa, If you throw 200 lbs in the back of mine, the rear wheel hop goes away on every speed bump. Without something helping compress the suspension, I get bad real wheel hop on every speed bump, pot hole, etc.. I would hate to drive it empty if I still lived in the country where...
