Or the knock-off part has a casting or machining issue (core-shift, major porosity, breakthrough, etc) allowing the coolant and oil passages to cross-talk. I've experienced that even on a major brand (Edelbrock) so it is not an unlikely occurrence. Have you pulled it off and inspected it?

Awesome! Love that Sprinter. I always dug the lifted 4x4 Econolines they have there.

I had a similar experience with a FWD Ford SVT focus. I put on a set of Michelin Artic Alpins and that thing was darn near unstoppable in anything but deep snow. It was a really fun vehicle all year! I know Blizzaks can be had in 255/75R17 and Nokians in 285/70R17 but any bigger than that...

Around here (SE Michigan) we get a lot of ice and wet snow and I've found that M/Ts are terrible. Our quantity/depth is typically low, however. I think that's where M/Ts start to excel - when the lugs start to be useful in clawing through the deep snow. I've never had anything that...

Fair point. I figured if someone is replacing them they're not going to use the same ones.

Read the OPs first sentence...

Nice! Have some pics you can share? Per my post above that is what I am planning, too...

That size tire came stock on an OEM 17x7.5 wheel so unless the OPs Wrangler is a super sagger it should be fine. I think when the time comes for new shoes I'll be rocking 255/80R17s. Yes, I like pizza.

Welcome!

Beautiful!!

Welcome! That would be my first guess.

Thanks I may give that a try...

Can you post a link to the exact product you used please?

Thanks for the follow-up!

Jealous! If I wanted to go see a Lions game now I think I'd have to sell the Jeep. Ticket prices are absolutely ridiculous.

Great! Thanks for the detailed response.

Also, I don't see much about engine swaps into JKs on your site. Do you perform those?

Welcome! FYI - Your link didn't work for me but I found your website via search engine easily...

I hear you. I probably have 10 years on you and just did all the shocks & springs on mine. I just took my time, didn't rush, or beat myself up. When I was younger I was quicker, but dumber in some ways too!

Thanks for the follow-up @AUBoggs , glad you are back in business!!
