We make shifters for Chrysler and many other big brands. Also don't be this jeep if you do come.

So there's a chance you made my shifter? I hope you made mine extra nice! :lol:

 

 

Saw that pic last night. It's supposedly a 2008. Prior to 2010 there was some issue with trans cooling on automatics and basically when the warning popped up for hot ATF, it basically meant the Jeep was about to catch fire. :lol: Thankfully the newer 5-speeds don't do that supposedly.

That little thing would fit very nicely in the bed of that big red truck if you did get in trouble.

If i had a jeep i would want to do this.. Hell i would love to do that with a convoy of GM trucks. Though i don't have the suspension for it. It would still be fun to get a huge group and go on some kind of trailing trip.

Appreciate it.

Now, just what did your mind think I meant?

 

You were probably wrong.

New bumper and skid plate installed today.

 

Looks great man. I have a 2-door sport that I've done a bunch of work on.

 

One really weak point of these Jeeps is the stock headlamps. Always has been, and FCA hasn't done anything about it, including offering any kind of uplevel lighting package in the past 7 years.

 

Trucklite, KC, JW Speaker, and Quadratec all now offer an LED drop-in replacement that is absolutely fantastic and connects right up to the factory harness. Install time for both lights is maybe half hour tops. Places like Quadratec and Northridge are usually running deals on the Trucklites for about $399 including the pulse modulation (anti-flicker) adapter harness required for use with the vehicle's can-bus.

 

Other than that--your bumper looks great. I can see it...it's begging for some trail time!

I ordered the Quadratec head and fog lights before I had the Jeep. lol

 

It's been to an offroad park once. My work schedule is pretty intense so taking time to play is tough.

Lol...just realizing that now as I squint at the picture on a small screen, it does look like you have an aftermarket headlamp in there. How are the Quadratec LED"s?

They rock. I'm a bit worried about icing as some have reported it with other LED systems (these are too new to have any winter experience) but they throw SO much light. High beams are crazy, especially out here in flat Michigan. I don't run the dogs much as it's almost too much light right up front but the other night it was pouring and they were good for illuminating the worn out lane markings on the highway.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
