The latest throttle body controls models have been altered by Jeep and do not work well with manipulated values, not sure if the diesels fall in that camp

I wonder the same. Do the cars, minivans, and other SUVs/trucks have this same rate of attrition? I have not gone looking, so I do not know. I have noticed that there are a number of these vehicles not tied to this operating system. The solid axle Jeeps, sprinter Van, and trucks seem to be tied...

Be nice to know about Throttle body related stuff. I think we are going to see a wave of these fail too if my in box is any indication

The JL I am working on know had so much dirt in the solenoids

I hVe probably helped at least 250 ppl since I made my first post. 40% of those being JLs.

I am doing an install right now on an engine that has 40k and it has wear and the vvL solenoids were dirty and jammed up.

That head on the follower definitely makes a difference. My friend who works at chrysler definitely was concerned with that follower with the grooved head being in my engine.

Man I am thinking I have a plugged cat, jut seeing this I wonder if my captains intake cam is shot

I don't think you need the entire electrical system you need the under hood and engine harness

Yeah that is not ECU part number, that is the OS. These new OS's are not defined well in HP, as jeep moved things around AGAIN!!!!!!

Is the Grey residue on the brown ring on the back of the cam?

I am not positive, bit it looks like your intake cam is wiped. How many miles are on it?

The bruiser conversion, actually modifies the LS so it runs off the stock ECM and you do not loose any creature comforts!!!

Soak it in. There are a number of ways to roast this turkey!

I am curious if all will have a recall. If it is a supplier issue for the TB maybe not. If they believe it is a software issue, yeah probably so. Or maybe they have developed a software fix for a hardware problem. It is kind of what I have been doing for folks, but it ain't easy.

I like a high quality WDH when towing on my Max Tow, especially with a lift. I get squat but it is heavily limited and the ride is a bit better than stiffening up a long spring. Comes in handy off road too. Could argue all day the merit of each model. I knew mine was going to be a DD first and...

I have thought about calling bruiser and asking if they would sell the parts. LS jeep would be heavenly, fix all that is wrong with it.

Bruiser conversions had a great offering in that space for a decent price at 20K. I was thinking about ordering it and they took it off their site.

Well if the followers are put in correctly, that is a big win, most definitely stops a ton of ground up iron from coursing through the engine. If the cam is hardened properly another big win If the guy putting the engine sealant on does not get crazy with the cheese wiz that will keep the VVL...

This is the gift that keeps on giving, couple things to add. Another possible reason this fails and may fail again after being fixed; the engine has two VVL solenoids on each side. The passenger side is the first to be supplied with oil from the oil filter/sump. If these get clogged, they will...
