Actually, your wrong. The term came about from insecure keyboard and back yard mechanics on forums. There's two diffrent kinds of techs, good and bad. The industry as a whole puts people into a shop without vetting them. This includes dealers. Regardless of where you spend your money, you...

Their actually not that difficult. Dead controllers are normally a power/ground/connector issue. You can have a shorted comm wire cause weird issues but that depends on how they tie the comm wires. Unfortunately, jeep is one of the few data base's I don't have access to otherwise I would send...

OK As long as your sure. I have diagnosed 100's of ABS systems. I can count on one hand how many actual module failures I've seen. Abuse, internal seal leakage and accident damage don't count. On the other hand, I've seen countless modules replaced unnecessarily. I would second guess the issue...

Idle curiosity but what code did you get initially when you scanned it. Also what code does it have now?

Don't forget the other brother Daryl

This is pretty close to spot on with one exception. The dealer is not the problem, its the manufacture. The dealer has 3 basic sections. sell cars, sell parts, work on cars. The dealer does not control part availability, the manufacture does. If there's no parts, they cant sell parts and believe...

Shocks control how fast the suspension moves. Springs determine payload. If you add in more weight (payload) the shock may not be able to keep up and will overheat. If you want to prove this. measure your ride height then pull off your shocks. The height wont change.

The reason some springs hold up better then others is due to two factors. First is quality and the other is proper spring rate. I'm sure you know this but I'm mentioning it because of something you typed ( I may have misread it). Shocks have nothing to do with ride height (sag). They control the...

Wow, nine whole pages. Totally agree with everything you wrote, especially here. Repeating what I've said a few times this year, the people who bought into the "Fad" are the ones bailing out because it either wasn't what they thought or what they like. So, is it killing itself, no. It is...

I'm reserching front bumpers for my son's 18 4runner. I'm looking for what your running, likes and dislikes. It is mostly street with mild off road. Last spring he hit a deer and wants a bit more strength in front. Looking at something that covers to the side with a loop by the grill. Full...

If your going to put out the money for the Optima, step up to the Odyssey. The lesser AGMs don't run pure lead in the plates. This makes them cheaper and not have the same lifespan. With that said, I have run the cheaper AGMs for several years without issue. I've run AGM's since they came out...

Your best way is a tie down to the floor. if you look you can find expandable bars that push across the inside of the bed. I've used those in the past. Years ago I went through all that. I got tired of all the half azed way's that eventually loosened making my cargo unsecure. All my cargo is now...

I run a 4gauge feed to the rear. There's a junction and separate fuse/relay panel. From there I run 8gauge to my 7 pin and 10 gauge into my trailer. This way I have very little voltage loss.

I built my trailer as sort of a minimalist build. Battery up in the front box, tow rig charges it and solar tops it off. The amount of battery you need is based on your power draw and how long your stationary. Half of my trips im in a diffrent spot each night and the other half I can be base...

From what I understood, these trailers were very popular from the late 40's to 60's. Ranch's loved them due to their size. This is why there was quite a few aftermarket parts made for them. One of the pictures I saw was a dump bed kit. another was a rounded cover for the top making it look like...

Heres a picture of just before I retired it.

One more thing. As far as I know, the military trailers had a plaque mounted on the driver side front of the tub. In your picture #8 I dont see the holes from it. That could mean civilian. It could also mean no park brake. I'm also thinking back over 20 years from when I researched mine. My...

When I bought mine, it took years to identify it and I can still find diffrent names for it. What that means is, all the experts say something diffrent. I settled on it being a 42 M-100 (registration says 42 special construction). The design stayed similar forever with only a few differences. If...

Heh, your right. Old habit's. That goes along with calling power accessory ports, "Cigarette Lighter Plugs". Most people today have never seen a cigarette lighter.

Go lithium. Your LiFePO4 battery's are very stable and lighter. Compared to AGM, the benefits are too numerous to list. If you were talking high output batteries for a winch, your better off cost wise with the AGM. The correct high amp lithium is very expensive. The problem with the guy who...
