The rod on the old booster was .255" longer than the new J8 booster, the rod is not adjustable like my older rigs. This is a non issue 2012 and up, the early JK's used a shorter rod. Sometimes, it was just right or maybe a washer or two. I just took the JK for a test drive and the brakes engage...

Any progress with the pup?

Buying two right now! How in the world do you find this stuff? You would make a excellent purchasing agent for just about any industry.

It’s in. There is about 1/4” free play on actual brake pedal, about the same as before. I put the spacers between the booster adapter and the firewall, not between booster and adapter. That was the common thread online. Now I have a 1/4” gap between firewall and adapter plate. I could use some...

Good news! Like the tires too. I like the tread. Would make great crawler tires.

Ohh, here was a poo finding, The O ring or seal between the MC and booster was not seated correct, it was pinched and half inside the booster:

I have made some progress. It is all out. Not fun or easy but out. I had to cut a bunch of wires that went through the firewall AND brake booster adapter. I pulled another 20 feet of unused and zip tied wires while I was there too. More PO wire clean up. This rig must have had a hell of a mall...

Could you drill the four booster stud clearance holes bigger with a step drill? Would that give the room needed?

I don't have a pressure pot/bleeder. will check with my local parts place and see if they rent one. I do have the jscan that can disable the abs though. I did stuff silicone taper stoppers in the lines immediately when I disconnected. Hopefully very little air is present. Not that it makes the...

started the project this evening. Got the clip off of the pedal arm, air compressor removed and the pcm/abs tray loosened up. Has anyone heard that it takes a scan tool to bleed the abs? I’ve heard it twice in videos today.

Picked up the brackets and hardware kit for my coilover project. The brackets were raw. I Cerakoted them using the new "F" series cerakote. Less vapors, cures in 15 mins and has better UV stability. I did my best to color match to my jeep. It is close enough considering the location. Blasted...

Oh ya, and the best part.....

Took the JK out to Calico this weekend tackled some new trails. Bismarcks hairpiece, Sushi burrito, Vodkaberry, Bismarcks backdoor and Doran. Strangely empty. We ran across one group of ATVs and a 2dr JK running together on fire roads. Beautiful day.

Update. I have the booster, MC and "seal" (o-ring really) in hand. I just sprung for the very $$ 68048758AA reservoir from mopar parts giant. I confirmed it is in stock,so I should have it soon. Then, onto the install. Hopefully have it done before the coilover kit arrives.

2007 TIPM's had issues. Pull your TPIM and look at date code, if it is 2006 or 2007, then it is original and a possible suspect. Here is my original TIPM details. Mine failed. The new one (or rebuilt actually) works great.

Run these tests on relay K3 to narrow it down: Check for 12V at Pin 86 Have someone turn the key to "START" You should get 12V at Pin 86 if the ignition switch is working properly. Check for Ground or PCM Control on Pin 85 The PCM grounds this pin when it's ready to allow starting (e.g...

Some of my j-scan modified data is gone after replacing TIPM, is this normal? My speedo is off, 50mph on gauge is actually 60. RPM's are off, more like a percentage. for instance, 2000rpm on dash is 1850 actual, 3000rpm on dash is 2500, etc.. Small stuff but annoying.

Praying for puppers!

Crazy question but do you have spacers on the hubs?
