I hope that isn't the case! According to JSS and AEV, the 3.6L has a higher BTU load than a stock 392 Hemi, so as long as you can get the airflow you need, the OEM radiator should be sufficient. I'll likely be upgrading to the 3.6L fan, if I have the room, but if not, I'll go to the Camaro...

If you're burning up resistors, it's likely that your fan motor is going, causing excessive amperage through the resistor pack... Great photos btw!

I had to completely ignore the OEM push-clip retainers and cut them off... once I did that, I had enough room to "snake" it around and with the addition of that new push-clip zip tie, it stayed where it should. I did end up wrapping that section of harness with a few wraps of Tesa tape (the...

What I thought would take an overnight soak ended up taking ~3 days of pumping/recirculating to finally get all the grit out of the heater core. I would pump the Evapo-Rust for ~3-4 hours, let it sit for ~3-4 hours, then mechanically flush with the Lisle flush nozzle. Each and every time I would...

Hey, if you want a legit Mopar J8, you have a very short window right now: https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/brake-components/p5160050-mopar-j8-mstr-cylinder-brake-booster

I try to balance saving the brakes vs making the 3.8L sound like it's being dragged through the Fires of Mordor :ROFLMAO: Tobyhanna is about 30 minutes away - we are basically along the same ridge that they are. We are ~5-8° colder than the nearby valley towns, just due to elevation...

I’ve driven I-25 from ABQ to Santa Fe a few dozen times (I had a project in Los Alamos for a few months), and can confirm that it is indeed quite hilly. When we lived in Phoenix and would head to Flagstaff or Payson, it was uphill the entire time. My little 3.8 would have exploded on any of...

Assuming yours is an auto trans, the 5.13's are perfect with 285/75's... my daughter's Islander can finally maintain highway speeds and accelerate/maintain up long grades. I'm only at 1500' ASL here by my house in PA, but we have some steep grades all around up (6-8% are common when...

For sure! These are a good upgrade over your current setup and can easily "grow" with your modest build plans and requirements.

It is hard to say definitively without some additional information. The vehicle looks lifted and appears to have some quality components on it. Things that come to mind are: 1) Is this your first Jeep? Although Jeeps can - and should - drive straight and reliably down the road, a lot of younger...

How many miles on your Jeep? Do you know the service history? Might be worth taking to one of the many 4x4-oriented shops in the area to have a thorough inspection and maintenance catch up.

What year is your JK and what transmission? I’m assuming a 6-speed since you mentioned 3.21 gearing. With a 3.6L model and 4,10’s, you’d be okay (not great) bumping up to 4.10’s with a true 33” tire. With an auto trans, you’d still be undergeared (and especially so with a 3.8L!). I’m running...

So a couple things... First, you don't need to shift to Neutral to go into 4Hi. You don't even need to be stopped. As a matter of fact, moving makes shifting into 4Hi much smoother. Second, are you saying that the sound you are hearing is while in 4Hi or in 2WD? If you don't hear the noises...

The OEM tone ring can be kind of a pain in the a$$ to get to, but is doable with hand tools, patience, and some brake cleaner. The above is a photo of the axle shafts I took out of my daughter's Islander while I was doing the regear. The "toothed" part is the tone ring portion of the shaft...

What kind of sound, clunk? Clank? Click? Does it make sound when moving? Did you take it off-roading at all? It's possible that someone else may have worked loose in your adventure. You may indeed be hearing the axle shaft or driveshaft joint. If you haven't used 4x4 in a while, doing so may...

What's the thought behind the pizza cutters, instead of the more commonly available 35x12.5"? (not questioning anything, just curious :) ) For anything below 35"s, I'd suspect you'd be fine with a standard Rubicon D44, unless you're absolutely pounding this thing week in and week out. The Recon...

They seem to have good reviews on Google and other locations. Based on @Cimmerian's experience, probably a reliable vendor. Curious - what are they charging for a full set of Rubi axles? What are you building with them?

I learned this the hard way many years ago as well with my '66 Coupe. I forget exactly what M/C I ended up using, but it took a rounded flare (aka bubble flare). Attempt after attempt at making new inverted flare seal up just resulted in lots of messy brake fluid to clean up. I ended up taking...

Unfortunately I think the sales guy you were working with was just doing "sales guy stuff", either for the sale or b/c of a lack of understanding (or both)... All the real-Mopar J8 kits were made by Ate. You can see the "Ate" logo on the M/C below: And the Ate logo on the Mopar-sourced...
