  1. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Tank is plumbed in through the the fill line. We used a summit racing T with a check valve. Had to reduce the size or the T to fit the fill hose on the jeep. The check valve allows me to leave the fuel draining all the time into the main tank. Works great.
  2. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Just made a trip to New Mexico and back with a little improvement but not near enough for me. The Taza’s ability to turn on the fan for sure helps. I’ve also modified the Rubicon hood vents to let the heat out. I do think this helps a little. You can feel the heat coming out the engine bay...
  3. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    G This for sure looks like the most viable option. I'm excited to see how this goes for you. I did add an additional high speed fan and opened up the fake rubicon vents on the hood. I tested last week and it was better. I was able to maintain 230-232 coolant temps and 245-250 oil temps...
  4. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    I started the fan at 230 oil temp. Didn’t really help on mine. I’d say it prolongs it by a few miles.
  5. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Did I miss what insane diesel is doing? Did I miss the post on insane diesel??? What are they doing? Here’s mine on a test run pulling travel trailer. Have tazer and the fan was on. Didn’t help much if any. I have a local shop working on some type of fix.
  6. 2.5" Clayton Overland on Rubicon Diesel Review

    285/75r/18 Ridge Grapplers which are 35.07x11.2. Clayton said I can run 37’s
  7. 2.5" Clayton Overland on Rubicon Diesel Review

    Nothing major. Mud and over a few logs showing land. Not made it west yet! Did crawl up a tree on the beach.
  8. 2.5" Clayton Overland on Rubicon Diesel Review

    So I have had this lift on my truck for going on 6 months. All I can say is WOW! I am completely happy with everything about the lift. Ride is better than stock and it drives amazing. I went with the Fox shocks as that is what Clayton recommended. The guy who installed the lift for me said...
  9. Ecodiesel power derating as temps rise?

    Not saying you don't know how to do the math. I feel like the truck could use more power especially when pulling. I am not a fan of programers, and IMO regearing seems to be a logical solution. But I do get what you are saying. So how do you fix it falling on its face in the mud? I use...
  10. Ecodiesel power derating as temps rise?

    4.88’s and 35’s is a 15% change to the RPM at 70mph. I’ll go from 1750 to just over 2000. And in the mud which I’m in from time to time it will help the motor not fall flat on its face when shifting gears.
  11. Ecodiesel power derating as temps rise?

    I agree the truck is perfect until you give it a decent load. I will post a performance update once I get my gears in. Going with 4.88’s and currently running 35’s.
  12. Ecodiesel power derating as temps rise?

    Did you regear and run the same test again? If not then your reply means nothing. 4.88’s are over 30% more rpm’s with 33” tires than stock 3.73’s. IMO were the heat issue factors in the most on climbs. If the truck will climb a hill in a higher gear and not have to down shift as far it will...
  13. Ecodiesel power derating as temps rise?

    Has anyone re-geared the diesel and still had the derating issue? Maybe I am wrong, but if the truck was lower geared it seems the engine wouldn’t struggle as much and hopefully not overheat as easy. I have towed with mine several times and seen the loss of power. Not had it go to limp mode...
  14. Rear Locker flashing

    Mine still showed it being locked. But you can obviously fill it being locked as well.
  15. Rear Locker flashing

    Just installed the Z adapter and it turned off the locker lights. Tested the lockers and the work. Guess I’ll go ahead and do my gear swap. Thanks to everyone for the replies.
  16. Rear Locker flashing

    thank you. It’s also telling me to service rear locker. Is that something different?
  17. Rear Locker flashing

    Still no axle in site from Jeep. So if I do the gear change will it fix my problem? I bought the tazer harness that bypasses the light but I’d like to know what the actual problem is. Does anyone know?
  18. Rear Locker flashing

    No metal shavings or chunks. Thanks for the reply. So now my big question is, is it safe to go ahead and do the gear change or should I wait on the dealer to switch out the axle?
  19. Rear Locker flashing

    I mean the metal in the gear oil.
