What did you do to your JK today?

Hopefully easy to install. Seems odd that there are two ways to control the throttle. Does one override the other?

It is very easy. They sort of work in tandem. Yes, you can use 1 at a time even though they are both connected to the throttle body, the hand throttle will have a dead spot until you reach the point the gas pedal is. Since the gas pedal wire is directly attached to the throttle body, it moves with the hand throttle. Hopefully that makes sense.

I'm not sure how it would work on a JK though since the 3.6 uses throttle by wire.

Thank you, it would be for my LJ so no worries there.

Then I highly recommend the TeraFlex hand throttle. That's what I have on my TJ. I installed it in about 30 minutes. 1 tip, remove the actual throttle cable and wrap the wire behind it. The throttle cable will help hold the hand throttle cable onto the throttle body.

Nope, keep the man card. Nothing wrong the automatic, except I don’t know how to wheel in them 😂. My kid and wife’s ask me questions and I have to keep learning and asking others what to do.

I do want to install one of those throttle knobs that go on the stick shift.

Ohh, those knob things are so cool. I had a shimano shifter modified on my CJ. She had a 400hp SBC married to a SM-420. Like driving a high performance bus. I'll post a video of my son and I crawling and trying to use it.

The boy came up to join us in Tahoe on vacation for a few days. He headed up after work and was supposed to be here around midnight. I went to bed at 11:15, wife comes in at midnight wakes me up says “Zach’s Jeep is overheating”. Off we go, glad he was only about 15 minutes away. Radiator is leaking, appears to be at the drivers side seam. Got 4 gallons of distilled water and up to where we are around 2:00 am. Prices are much cheaper RockAuto so Tuesday will make the trip home, grab our clubs flatbed trailer come back up and tow it home. He ordered the parts today. While he was at ordered a new steering gear box and tie rod parts. Guess I’ll be busy with that the next few weekends. Plus at some point i want to change out my wife’s T-stat.

Just a thought or possible band aid. The barrs pellets do work. I used two pellets in my aluminum radiator that was leaking. It held for almost a month. If you do use them, best to do a flush while doing the repair.


The AC Delco are supposed to work better but harder to get:

Thank you, being on vacation we can’t get a flush on it. Good to know they worked though.
