    4wd light stays on all the time

    When I bought my Jeep a few years ago, shifting into and out of 4wd would sometimes cause the light to flicker, but not stay on. And it was random flickering. Since January of this year, it is a nearly constant glow and will only randomly flicker after driving for about 10-15mins. The...

    Scared to drive ol' Red: another death wobble story

    Just went thru exact same thing, changed out everything you did (did not do a rear TB upgrade), but my issue ended up being the steering gear box. Very expensive chase to the end.

    My seemingly never ending death wobble journey

    Hi, it's been a week since I had final repairs done on this issue. Happy to say, I haven't updated because I've been busy driving my Jeep!!! ✌️✌️ Have done almost 900 miles since 6/2. We tried the hubs first. Did not make a difference. We then added more caster, did not make a difference...

    I just ordered 2 front Spicer wheel hubs to try before/instead of the RedHead steering box installation scheduled for 6/2.

    My seemingly never ending death wobble journey

    I'm almost certain this is the hole, except imagine it now being almost across the entire road. I was traveling in the opposite direction than I am in this picture when I slammed into it. The middle part historically is not deep, and I ride the edge of the road to avoid the passenger tire...

    My seemingly never ending death wobble journey

    I have 2 shops that do my work. I mostly go to my 4x4 shop unless they can't get me in. They dont have an alignment rack, so my regular auto shop has had to do it. I did manage to drive to a further 4x4 shop that has a rack, but I feel i got taken for my money there and I'm not going back...

    My seemingly never ending death wobble journey

    Thanks. Agreed on the stabilizer. My regular shop and the last shop to do an alignment tried to get me to change out my stabilizer and I firmly said that's not the issue. My Jeep shop wants to remove it altogether, so there's that 😁 Bolt kit arrived yesterday and I'm scheduled for that...

    My seemingly never ending death wobble journey

    Ooh interesting observation, thanks! Yes, stock Sport axles, no reinforcements to my knowledge. I'm very ignorant there, so forgive this question. Is that fix usually an entire new axle, or would the tube(s) need to be replaced? I firmly do not understand how a "solid" axle has pieces...

    My seemingly never ending death wobble journey

    Thanks for the feedback and man....that's kinda something along the lines of what I'm thinking. At this point something has to be bent that we just haven't looked for yet.

    My seemingly never ending death wobble journey

    My rotors are brand new and less than 1K miles. I will mention passenger wheel hub. I normally drive that fast because I'm very very familiar with the roads (I work in the forests) and usually know where every dip and pothole is, even in the fog or dark. But this caught me, unfortunately. I...

    Need a remanufactured 3.6 engine and other replacement parts

    I changed the oil cooler because I thought that's where the leak was, and it was not. My janky mechanic at the time suggested RMS.

    Need a remanufactured 3.6 engine and other replacement parts

    Hello. I have sourced out a reman 3.6 engine for my 2015 JKU. It will come with many things, but since my Jeep is almost 10yrs old and approaching 220K, I want to replace some other parts as well. I would like to replace the thermostat, both catalytic converters, the radiator, all cooling...

    Electronic Throttle Control and Traction Control Lights (SOLVED)

    I'm still chasing my issue after 4-5 months. 2015 JKU with the 3.6L. I have replaced all of my O2 sensors, MAP sensor, IAT sensor, coolant temp sensor, throttle body (also rewired the throttle body with a pigtail harness), battery terminals, PCV valve. I have removed some sensors and...

    Quality thermostat replacement?

    Hey I'm the OP, thanks for commenting your experience! 6 months past the last repairs I mentioned in this thread, and I'm still riding normal-for-a-3.6L temps. Doesn't hardly ever go over 230, mostly low 220s or high teens. I live in the mountains and have various grades and inclines, and...
