    U0414 - Invalid data received from four wheel drive clutch control module

    Same thing happened to me a year or so ago. I ended up replacing the transfer case control module and it corrected the problem.

    Is Rough Country really that bad?

    Having owned a Rough Country lift on my previous JK, I would never suggest their lift to anyone. Anyone who says they ride great is only saying that because they haven't experienced anything else. As Chris mentioned above, they ride terrible, which is mostly due to the cheap, low quality...

    Factory alarm activates while driving

    Had this problem with our Cherokee. Turned out to be the rear passenger door button. Never really used it and for some reason when you open the door, the button would not pop out. Pulled it out and tested it and it was bad. (In my case, it wasn't setting off the alarm, it was leaving the inside...

    P0481 Code

    I had a similar issue years ago. The symptoms on the Jeep were a check engine light and P0481 code being thrown. This code if for the cooling fan. It happened in 95+ degree weather in stop and go traffic with the AC on. The engine temperature did not change. After lots of reading, I dug into...

    Jeep Wrangler JK Axle Breather Hose Extension

    In addition to installing things like longer sway bar links and brake line extension brackets, when you lift your Jeep JK Wrangler to a height of 3″ or more, it’s a good idea to extend your rear axle breather hose as well. If you don’t, you may find that the hose will get pulled off the axle...

    I found a Rubicon RockTrac transfer case (Part # 5212350AB or AA), with 5500 miles on it to install in my Sport. This write up may be amateurish, compared to something Eddie would do, but I hope it helps someone. Note: 2012 up automatic transmissions have a different transfer case than manual...

    Jeep Wrangler JK Steering Stop Adjustment

    If you've just installed a set of bigger tires on your stock wheels or on a set of new wheels with too much back spacing, there's a good chance that you'll have some rubbing issues on your front sway bar, frame rail and/or lower control arms while making a full turn. This is also something you...

    Jeep Wrangler JK Unit Bearing Replacement Write-Up

    Running big heavy off road tires on wheels that have a lot less back spacing will put a lot more strain on your unit bearings and that will cause them to wear out prematurely. Worn out unit bearings can cause your wheels to look like they have camber to them and much like bad ball joints, can...
