    2.5 vs. 4.0

    I think the biggest thing is something no one has talked about. When changing your tire size you really need to change your speedo / speed sensor to fix the input to your computer. Without fixing your vehicle runs like garbage, get crappy gas mileage and just all around tends to **** you off.

    Quadratec.com inventory not accurate.

    Radiator cleaner

    I filled with straight vinegar let it sit for 1 hour. Then ran the jeep for 30 minutes at idle, just so you know, running the vehicle with straight vinegar IT REALLY SMELLS BAD when draining. Makes everything look like new.

    Wiring (what is it)

    I could not find anything in the area. I was told maybe a light socket. All my side markers and turn signals work, so that could not be it. What is an "IAC motor"??

    So I flushed the radiator this past week (horrible) drained everything then back flushed. I could see that the radiator was filthy inside, so pulled the bottom hose and flushed again I could not believe the crap that came out. Put in Prestone "Cleaner" since it is supposed to be better than...

    Coffee Dilema

    Now that I see the large can, there is no way that I will use mine for that. What is that a 40mm can? That is perfect, would hold most of the things I dont want walking away.

    new gears

    If youre putting the money in dont think just 3 months down the road but what you might want to do 3 yrs down the road. mudding or crawling calls for different gearing. And to throw out there, my sons jeep has the 2.5L, automatic and 488 on 31" tires 95% on-road, great speed 70MPH at 3500 RPM...

    PDC blowing fuses????

    To double check the wiring diagram, go to the dealership and have them pull your build sheet and print your wiring diagrams for your vehicle. I did this for my sons jeep and found minor differences from the haynes manual. If nothing else you will find out what specific things that fuse goes to.

    did i choose the wrong gears???

    I did the gear swap, factory to 4.88. This was because my gears were bad. The most important thing I found was to get the speedo gear corrected since the automatic transmission uses speed sensors to regulate a lot of things.

    Coffee Dilema

    Both look good. I actually have 2 Ammo cans that have studs welded on the bottom that are powder coated. I was going to bolt the behind the seat of my truck, but I could put one in the jeep, could spin around and put cup holders on the end (like the boat idea). The other one does not look...
