Thank you for the confirmation. So, what I'm getting out of this, is that even though I'm running stock size tires (255/75/R17) on the stock wheels, those are simply incompatible with whatever lift (appears to be ~3") the previous owner installed? And I would have 3 choices: 1.) Install wheel...

I guess based on my understanding of how it should be set up, or at least per some manufacturers like JKS, is that angle on the sway bar shouldn't be greater or less than +/-5°. I occasionally get a clunk from the rear when turning at almost full lock (like a U-turn or backing out of a parking...

I've been spending some time down the rabbit hole and am getting the impression things aren't quite right with my rear end setup. Funny enough, I've had my Jeep at an 4x4 specialized alignment shop, multiple times, and a 4x4 shop, none of which said anything about how things were looking back...

It looks like it's an issue with the ECT and other 2 sensors in the cooling system not being in agreement with block heater use. I found a couple other threads that confirm this. I also used my digital shop manual to look up the P0116 code as well and it suggests the same thing. "THEORY OF...

Recently, I had installed an OEM Mopar dry block heater on my JKU. Unfortunately, it involved having the local shop repairing the threads that one of the AC compressor mounting bolts go into. They had to evacuate the system and remove the AC to perform the repair. I hadn't really driven it much...

Yeah, this is the only time it's happened while I've owned it the past 2+ years. If I get a chance to test it in a snowy parking lot, I'll do that. Annoyingly, I've found out she's usually right. ;) It was just in 4HI, I've got no lockers or anything like that. Just a basic Command-Trac 4x4...

Here we go, folks, be gentle. This is regarding my 2012 JKU Sport. Despite my question, I have a pretty good understanding how "all that stuff down there" works. But sometimes, we make mistakes and mess up. Long story short, here in the great state of North Dakota, we just had another blizzard...

I used my 1/4" torque wrench set to 80 in lb with some extensions for clearance. No problems yet.

@Cousin Clyde that's probably for the best. It was a bit of a pain to fully clean the electrical connector and wire harness. I'm honestly not sure if the retaining bolt or o-ring can cause a leak like I experienced. It doesn't appear like the design seals from those things, but who knows? 🫠

Sorry for the necro-post, but I wanted to see if you folks had any insights for me. I decided to do this mod (no drill) on my 2012 JKU and everything went fine, except the tab from the lower clasp assembly that hangs over the fender will not sit flush. I made sure the tabs were completely...

It's either got to be a coincidence or a design flaw/engineering quirk. I certainly hope my driver side sensor is good - I don't want to go through the process to access it, although I've gotten pretty good at it. 😅 The big question is whether I put a Mopar one on or a parts store brand. On the...

For anyone still curious, I though I'd provide a quick update. After replacing the sensor a couple days ago, I didn't find any new leaks or weeping on the harness. I'd say so far, so good. What an odd failure. After inspecting the old unit, I couldn't find any immediately obvious causes for the...

Yeah, I've heard about this on the NAG1 transmission wire harness adapter. ATF traveling up the harness into the cabin and into the computer. Bad times. I have a replacement part and will be swapping it in. Kind of a weird failure mode, but I guess it's possible.

No problem. I guess that means this isn't an unheard of failure mode for these sensors. As best I can tell, looking at the valve cover through the gaps, the driver side isn't seeping yet. I'd do both, but I really don't feel like taking off the intake manifold again! 😅 I do think that this was...

About a year ago, I did a little overhaul on my 2012 JKU. New plugs, PCV valve, and valve cover gaskets, among other things. I followed all installation and torque specs to the "T" but recently noticed some oil seepage. It appears to be coming from my passenger side camshaft position sensor...

You're not wrong. I'm reaching out to him now. ;)

You're correct. I'll probably end up reaching out. I was just looking for a second opinion first so as not to go through the trouble, or waste his time, for nothing. Not that I'm saying the forum members' time has no value. ;) I did update the OP with a better recording.

Darn, I think something got lost in translation when the recording was uploaded to Facebook. I wonder if there's a better way to do it. For all the info I provided, I forgot to mention I performed a 5 tire rotation about 400 miles ago. I don't think they changed the tire position because I...

EDIT: Updated recording with one that actually has decent audio Hey folks, I recently had a local, reputable shop re-gear my 2012 JKU for me. The owner said that the gears set up really nicely (I did get all Spicer parts, which probably helped). In addition to the front and rear R&Ps, the front...

Thanks for that. I had a feeling what I was doing was overkill, I just didn't know it was that degree of overkill. 😂
