    I phone vs Apple stock

    If you bought every iPhone since the first one you would have spent 22,600.00 all in all. Had you bought the same dollar amount of Apple stock at each purchase point, today it would be worth over $200 million dollars. Oh , but if we had only known! Well, we do, and tomorrow more Apple IPhones...

    Surprise 220 V electrical

    As I’m writing this I’m still a little bit disturbed about the situation. The reason being is I’m really not going to know next time. When something happens that is close to being disastrous you really want to learn a lesson- And I’ll never forget this could happen at the same time I am...

    Rubicon Locker Mystery Mod

    I hooked my buddy Clinton up with a clean, stock 2004 Rubicon auto. The stock 4 wheel drive switch does not work at the transfer case thus no light. The dash function test showed the light works at the cluster, no bulb issue. (Hold odometer reset and turn key on) So, what they did was put a...

    Wranglerfixed

    @Wranglerfix has been doing a great job with PCMs for years - everyone knows that. I have been very fortunate to get a beautiful black LJR that Blaine has graced, and it really only had one thing that bothered me- the overdrive final drive is a buzzkiller as we all know. Now in truth, it is...

    LM470 Drama

    A TJ’s circuitry takes the cake- After I installed an LM470 relay, my accessory powered heated seats appear to get less power and turn my back up camera on and off - Apparently there is a loop between the back up camera signal at the reverse wire, which triggers the camera, and the accessory...

    Code 1494? Just do this

    These three elbows absolutely fry on the side of the intake manifold- down low on the drivers side. Two of them can be replaced with Dorman part number 47092 and then there’s a smaller one that I believe you can find- If yours are stock you need to take a close look. Keep ‘em goin’...

    Air chuck adapter for inflators and hoses

    I decided to give the Milwaukee inflator a shot (It is pretty doggone fast) rather than use on board air for now- The little screw on inflator ends are a little time consuming- Attached shows a brass adapter sold by locknlube that allows you to convert the end to a 1/4” NPT snap type chuck...

    Andy G needs brake love

    My 2005 LJR has a Vanco big brake kit, and has a firm pedal with engine off and soft when the engine is started- goes 3/4” to the floor, the jeep stops ok all considered but doesn’t feel super smooth. It seems identical to the issue @Alex01 had with his notched knuckles- but i’ve not taken them...

    Heat Soak Theory Question

    I have a friend who thinks heat soak is really a result of the age of the vehicle resulting in a weakened fuel injection check valve, and this allows the fuel to escape creating the issue- Has anyone replaced a fuel pump in recent times and noticed a change for the better? Just curious if...
