    Conterfeit or real

    Yes, that is correct and like I stated their parts have always done the job for me. I guess I was just speaking in general not specific to any one vendor, how do we know that the parts are authentic other then the packaging which could be forged. I know, I'm sounding paranoid. It was just...

    Conterfeit or real

    I replaced both cam and crank sensors last year with ones from autzone. They work well however my 08 Sahara will crank over a long time before starting once in a while. So I decided to replace both sensors with Mopar sensors. I ordered them from Rockauto and they arrived today. The cam...

    Radiator seam leak

    It had one extra peg on the right side, needed to put a notch in the soft air dam material. Nothing that affected the installation.

    Radiator seam leak

    Done, done, and done. The new radiator is in and all looks good. Just finished topping off the coolant. Set the front of the jeep on ramps, waited for it to heat up after adding coolant, added a bit more as the air work out of the system. I had one bolt on the bottom of the condenser that...

    Auto trans cooler

    Sounds like adding and oil cooler to the 3.8 engine is more common then I was aware of.

    Auto trans cooler

    I'm going to be replacing the radiator in a couple of days so I thought I would look things over. Seeing the zip ties and clamps, (PO added it on) that was my thinking when I saw it hanging there.

    Radiator seam leak

    Yes, it will be nice to be rid of the coolant smell. I agree, the 3.8 is not the most powerful engine but it holds up well and is a bit easier to work on then the 3.6.

    Radiator seam leak

    Well I have been chasing a coolant leak on my '08 Sahara for a couple of years. Yep, that's right years. It would come and go, very strange indeed. At first I thought is was just the overflow tank with to much coolant, then maybe a bad radiator cap. However, it turned out to be the left side...

    Smooth running issues.

    I had a simular experience when my camshaft position sensor was failing. Sometimes my Jk would crank over a Long time before starting, other times it would run rough. It never showed any error codes. Not exactly what you are experiencing but something you my want to explore.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    No, you remove one fender bolt and reuse it, and they supply a threaded bolt, washer, and nut for the side bolt on the bracket. The hole is already there.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I would say an inch or so higher, there is some adjustment at the fender bracket due to elongated holes ( take a look at the fender brackets in the picture I posted). I have my fender brackets slid all the way back. If you were to install them all the way forward you would get more height...

    It is a hood strut kit from Amazon, fit perfectly with all the needed hardware: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XNXWPTX/?tag=jkforum-20

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I'm back on the sun coast of Florida and spending some quality time with my '08 Sahara. Installed hood struts, not a fan of prop rods. Now to install a lift to remove the hardtop and go topless 😁

    2015 Jeep Wrangler Sahara check engine light on

    Is the insulation on the underside of you hood loose? Sometimes this will fall over the air intake opening and cause the symptoms you have explained.

    Oil drain down

    Yeah, it's a tough decision. Thank you Wow, 100 lbs at start up, that would get the oil to the upper end of the engine in a hurry. BLACKJKU did suggest adding an oil guage to really understand what is happening. Thanks for passing that info along.

    Oil drain down

    I have often considered installing a pedal commander to give the '08 some pep.
