new 5.9 whip

[M4wdFab]

got plates and paper for this hog yesterday no issues!  260$

jeep forum win, gota try this tonight

On the doors right above the latch you will see a allen head screw that directly faces you.. If you adjust the screw it adjusts how the door will open when you push the button in. Just loosen a little bit and push the adjuster slide up with a screwdriver. It's going to be trial and error to get it adjusted perfect. It took me a few times before I got it where it needed to be. Roll the window down and as long as the door opens from the inside you will be fine tweaking the adjustment. This screw only adjusts the outside handle anyway.

Sounds easy enough

How'd she do in the snow? Time for a front shaft yet?

[etk300ex]

The tires slip lol

[M4wdFab]

no issues on the way home,

have to check out the front end and at least fix both track bars.  had 3 instances of death wobble from hitting pot holes

[awl4928]

I had a slipery ride home. I'm thinking the steering wheel off center is perhapse messing with traction control still on non dry pavement

[M4wdFab]

2.0 was dead, didn't want to fire up the cummins, so choice 3 was this RWD whip tonight.  I planned to be in no hurry.  the 5.9 loves to stop but hates to go in the snow.


gota try out that shaft Spenser gave me and see if its drive-able again in AWD.

[M4wdFab]

got this guy on the lift tonight for a couple hours



started looking for death wobbel causes.  all bolts on steering box were finger tight, and it was wobbling around like crazy, tightened track bar bolt, installed a steering stabilizer that required some unique fabbing lol


put a shaft back in the front spenser gave me.



didnt have it in me to change the trans mount tonight.

[M4wdFab]

trans mount done

oil and filter done

scuffed and flat blacked 3 dents that were bare



test drove- much tighter couldnt get it do death wobbel.  sounds like front diff noise when coasting

VC definatly shot you can feel it bind a little when you turn on dry pavement.

[M4wdFab]

changed fluids in both diffs today front was glop, rear was clean / newish

11/41 gears

put a 32" light bar on this guy, found the blown fuse on the fog lights circuit, and used that  

[M4wdFab]

this guy performed 99% flawlessly this weekend to bristol and back.


Very comfy to sleep in also with the back folded down. 


The new light bar is blinding awesomness. 





One issue- the dam thing does not warm up.  the whole way there and back, it doesnt get past 120 degrees on the gage, makes no heat whatso ever.  i am thinking the Tstat is stuck open or missing.

it seemd to make heat when it was 50 degrees out, hmm.

Does that mean you need a new light for 572? 

[M4wdFab]

ya, i will haha.  Ill hold off for now, but this one will probably be staying on this jeep

[luvmyxj]

sounds like a bad heater core ,cherokees dont run much hotter than *120
