  1. Do we need to occasionally run the Pentastar at wide open throttle for lubrication purposes?

    Do you really think the squirters would be fed right off the main galley though? Path of least resistance dictates if you have one VERY VERY IMPORTANT thing that has resistance to flow(i.e. main bearings, top end) and one ancillary thing that has no resistance (i.e. squirters) wouldn't you have...
  2. Do we need to occasionally run the Pentastar at wide open throttle for lubrication purposes?

    That's how I understand it. I've looked for a solenoid or something, maybe it's integral to the oil pump assembly (which has an electrical connector on it)? Or maybe a vane or reed valve that opens at 3k? I'm not saying it makes sense, but if they are trying to meet CAFE standards by reducing...
  3. Do we need to occasionally run the Pentastar at wide open throttle for lubrication purposes?

    The oil pump only ramps up at 3000 rpm because that's when the oil squirters kick on for piston cooling. That's the only time it needs the added volume.
  4. Safe way to keep FAD engaged?

    The kit comes with a bunch of parts, a stub axle, bearing, the plastic bushing as I recall. I replaced everything that came in the kit and haven't had the noise return since. I've never had a problem with anything not working, just that horrible grinding noise. It should be fairly easy to...
  5. Safe way to keep FAD engaged?

    Yeah, had to buy the parts and fixed it myself, but it's been good for over 40,000 miles since.
  6. Easter Jeep Safari 2024

    Went in 2000 and 2002 in my TJ. Driving out from PA this year in my JTR. Fins & Things Monday, Gold Bar Rim Tuesday, Wed/Thu off for some other activities, Buttes and Towers Fri, Tiptoe BTR Saturday, Hell's Revenge Sunday.
  7. Advantek iron diff covers - which fill plug?

    We used steelit to paint the castings of the fillers we had at the brewery I used to work at. It's amazing stuff, even holds up to highly corrosive Monster Energy.
  8. Advantek iron diff covers - which fill plug?

    Perfect, thanks guys! Wish I'd found that spec sheet earlier.
  9. Advantek iron diff covers - which fill plug?

    Thanks, I know what high pinion is....just wondering if that's actually the point of the second fill plug or if that's just some garbage someone threw out on the interwebs.
  10. Advantek iron diff covers - which fill plug?

    On the aftermarket Dana diff covers with two fill plugs, which plug is the correct one to fill to? Stock '21 JT Rubicon. I can't find any official documentation, but I did read somewhere that the upper plug is if it's high pinion and the lower plug is for low pinion, but I don't think there...

    Just got mine back today, sent out sometime around the first week of Dec.
  13. Blackstone Processing Times Slowing Even More?

    Mailed mine out the first weekend in Dec and haven't heard back yet.
  14. Factory headliner mod question

    Sell the Mopar headliner, and make your own. I think I'm into mine for maybe $60. 1/4" Styrofoam board from HD (peel off the shiny plastic otherwise it'll interfere with your Sirius reception) and order sheets of loop-side material from McMaster-Carr to cover them with, and hold your patches...
  15. Testing Mopar trailer brake controller?

    Yeah, thing that's odd is it's definitely not every start. If I had to generalize it's when the truck's been sitting a while. If it's only been shut off a couple minutes or something,. it seems like that's when I don't see it. Anyway, not really worth worrying about. Seems to work fine.
  16. Testing Mopar trailer brake controller?

    Mine does the same, but not all the time. Usually on a cold start the number will illuminate for a few seconds then go off.
  17. Full belly aluminum skid plate comparison

    What's the part # for the Quadratec full belly skid? I'm trying to do my own comparison but it seems like since this thread started, all I can find from them is separate components.
  18. DIY Headliner for Dummies

    Redid my headliner before I put the hardtop back on a couple weeks ago. I too had noticed the Sirius reception was HORRIBLE with the hardtop on, so I bought the same foamboard from Lowe's, but peeled the metallic film off. I then bought sew-on velcro and attached it with the black PDR hot glue...
