Lol shes ready to race!

 

[GregMort13]

So, i got a lot done today, tires are mounted, jeep is fully lifted. Took it for a ride down the road, my "brake" light is solidly on now and when i hit 20-30mph my traction control kicked on, it would blink four times, pause, blink four times, pause, etc. anyone have any ideas? Help please!





Im hoping one i get an alignment done, it will fix all of this. Also hoping the brake light is from my brake fluid being a little low from when i changed the lines.

Did you use the procal and set your tire size? Is your steering wheel centered?

 

[GregMort13]

Still have to order one lol. Never thought of that

It's a possibility that because you didn't do it that is your issue

Steering wheel straight?

 

[olram30]

Might be putting your jeep into limp mode.

 

[GregMort13]

Steering wheel is not straight. Taking it to get an alignment on monday hopefully that will fix the traction control. Hopefully adding brake fluid will take the brake light off

15mm wrench and straighten it up for free.

You can do a better job than any shop yourself by following the tech write ups on this forum :yup: it's super easy and much cheaper

Dude. Listen to Panda. It was easy. After the lift and his guidance about the arm adjustment everything drives better than stock!

I haven't had the need to do this yet, but the write-up they are talking about is at http://wayalife.com/showthread.php?3861-Basic-Do-it-Yourself-Jeep-JK-Wrangler-Front-End-Alignment

It looks pretty straightforward and the cost of the tools may be less than one alignment at a shop. (depending on what tools you have already)

And so it begins



Heard a little rattle on my way home from work and found this haven't even put 100 miles on the lift

I run mine at 28-30. If I am going on a long freeway drive I fill them up to 35. Don't know if it does anything though.

 

[GregMort13]

Hmm ill have to air up a little and try it out

 

[H8MUD]

I run mine at 30PSI.

Do the chalk test Greg. Find the right pressure for your set up to get the best tire wear.
