It is very odd. I thought the same - everything should be under vacuum and if there is a leak, it will pull air in, not leak oil. But somehow, the system is getting pressurized. Not sure if it's a resistance thing or if it's that i drive like a senior and don't create much intake manifold...
Update on my personal experience with the catch cans - i've now removed the second can. First big name brand can had a good amount of blow-by and the can was leaking around the upper-lower can section seal. Second big name brand can was working awesome until it eventually developed the same...
Well, add me to that group now! Main battery started showing 12V while driving. New duralast main just went in today and i'm over 14V driving again. Main battery happy, aux battery happy, alternator working fine, ess working like a champ. But yep, add me to the had to replace both roughly at the...
The fender comes off in 10 min without needing to replace anything. It's really quick - this is more of a "don't yank on your fender when removing it" post to avoid ordering fender clips
Did not test the main, but caught the aux battery going down quick. Have had no problems cranking etc otherwise so i'm winging it only changing the aux
I just had to replace my aux battery for the ess system, so i watched the videos and read the threads. Some are saying that breaking fender clips is inevitable, and that you start by yanking at the back bottom edge of the fender.
I found that you can get to the back of these clips with...
Love those new wheels, like an aggressive mesh style. There isn't enough mesh wheel in the jeep world
And "Fluffy". Whoever you guys have do the wrap art is talented
Reading the thread title, i thought, oh no, another huge gladiator problem. Thankfully it's just your back! Whew!
J/k lol. Hope you find a good fit and get some back relief
What i'm trying to figure out is if the ESS system has some unintended side effects. My wife's '17 pacifica with the pentastar doesn't ping on 87 with random valvoline express lane oil, but my JT does on 93 and Castrol Edge with calcium levels below 1,000 ppm (low).
She doesn't have ESS, i do...
Hey Y'all, for those that have the "key rattle" ping sound, low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) / the knock the owner's manual says is "normal" (The light-throttle ping around 30mph or so you can hear when the windows are down): how many of you keep ESS on and use it and how many are getting this...
Lol, some say it works, some say it doesn't. It's just filling up with premium with a good additive package, like chevron, exxon, bp, shell etc and doing a handful of repeated wide-open-throttle runs to "clean excess carbon" out of the engine. If it cleans excess carbon, great, if not, it was...
So glad i switched catch cans to the UPR. I've been running the jeep harder than normal with some WOT pulls for the italian tune up running 93 octane for a "clean cycle."
Just checked my "clean line" to the intake manifold from the UPR, and not one drop of oil on the rolled up paper towel...
