  1. And my wife said it won’t fit in the garage…😎

    No workbench, no tool chest(s), no shelves full of stuff, no table saw, no miter saw, no other projects taking up floor space, etc.? I could fit mine in my garage if I moved lots of other stuff out first. My TJ has dibs on the one available spot but even it is relegated to the driveway right now.
  2. Mopar fuel filter is entire housing?

    This is craziness. First that you cannot get the filter without the entire housing. Second that the filter+housing can be bought for not that much more than the filter by itself. I hope one day the supply chains get straightened back out. I am getting sick and tired of online stores with...
  3. Still pulling to the right (slightly) after front end alignment

    It's hard to find a road around here without any crown. I figure if it "pulls" a little left on some roads and a little right on others (or in the other lane) and never has a strong pull, it is probably good. I'd think an internal leak in the steering gear could cause it to push one way. I...
  4. Still pulling to the right (slightly) after front end alignment

    Other things that can cause a pull are A weak or broken spring, front or back. I imagine a spring that that is not seated properly might also cause a pull if it is way out of place, but it seems unlikely to me to cause much of one. Brake pull (brake dragging). Aftermarket steering stabilizer...
  5. Still pulling to the right (slightly) after front end alignment

    You cannot adjust cross caster on a solid front axle. Cross caster is welded in. If you change the caster on one side it changes it by the same amount on the other side. On vehicles with adjustable lower control arms I've seen ill-informed technicians crank the adjusters all out of whack trying...
  6. To lock or not? (Under-backseat-storage)

    I took my factory locking box out and replaced it with a factory open-top box bought from eBay. The locking box doesn't hold very much. I can fit far more in the open box. I didn't realize the locking one cost so much new. I may have to list mine.
  7. Service Transmission - Manual

    There is a lot of communication. I say there is way too much. We didn't have all these trouble codes and troubles before there were so many sensors and communication between them and software engineers thinking they can write code to detect everything but not understanding that the real world is...
  8. Service Transmission - Manual

    The programmed tire size won't matter. A change in differential gearing could. The computer only knows what's going from the engine through to the axle hubs (wheel speed sensors). Tire size is about speedometer/odometer accuracy and the mpg calculations. The number you program for tire size is...
  9. The Midsized Truck Challenges

    I think the Colorado was nearly the same weight as the Gladiator and the others were hundreds of pounds lighter. One thing I always get out of TFL videos is how much time they have to spend pushing buttons and turning knobs to get into some mode or another or to activate/deactivate some feature...
  10. Officially Got The Jeep Driving Behavior Tracking Question

    Not wanting to be tracked and bothered by yet another company is not "tin foil hat" territory. We're talking unwanted data collection, not mind control.
  11. Officially Got The Jeep Driving Behavior Tracking Question

    I took a stab at opting out of their data collection entirely by disconnecting the two LTE antennas from the Uconnect. I did not get a monthly "Jeep Health Report" in my email this month so maybe it worked. I'll see if I get one next month. I don't use the app.
  12. Officially Got The Jeep Driving Behavior Tracking Question

    No, the privacy question is only about whether they can sell your data to others. Actually, if that screenshot is all there was to this "privacy" setting, it didn't actually say they wouldn't sell your data to others, it only said you wouldn't receive any offers from them. It is worded as opting...
  13. Transfer Case Skid bolt spinning

    Or cut it off, hope really hard for it to rattle really loudly for a really long time and it will almost definitely fall out on its own within a mile. Well, that's how things seem to work anyway.
  14. Ruined these shocks?

    I need to do a shout out to Bilstein of America, Inc.. I emailed them about how the bushings got crushed and they sent me two new bushings free of charge. They said they are not (yet?) available for sale. I pressed out the old ones and pressed in the new ones and now the shocks are as good as...
  15. A little Sag

    I wouldn't wish those on anyone. A spacer lets the entire spring work as intended, those things don't.
  16. Doing my HPFP recall today

    You're halfway to the goal. Show us all what the new one looks like on the inside.
  17. Doing my HPFP recall today

    Who is going to step up and be the first to disassemble their new pump on camera for YouTube? It should be someone who kept their old pump for a side-by-side comparison. We want to know what is different. The information we all seek is right there under your hood.
  18. Service Transmission - Manual

    Makes sense. Many threads on this problem mention that regearing can cause it to happen if the new gears are not programmed into the computer. Tire size does not matter. This guy's long video mentions briefly what worked for him. And below is a screenshot from the video. This was was...
  19. 2 Dudes 1 wrench podcast - Mojave

    Two Dudes One Wrench? Those guys should change the name of their podcast. Do they really want to be associated in any way shape or form with "two girls one cup"? And that gets me to thinking about what exactly those two dudes might be doing together with that one wrench? I'm too grossed out to...
  20. Is this pitman arm slop normal?

    Great idea. It makes it a lot quicker to check than getting the torque wrench back out. I use whatever bright paint I have around and apply it with a toothpick. Maybe some day I'll get a pen
