<p>Baby's first dirt bath.</p>

Ah...nevermind. Traced the source to the rear diff. Worth it to change the t-case fluid, anyway.

Wow. There's some serious noise coming out from under my TJ while in motion...even when coasting with the auto-trans in neutral. Was planning a fluid change, anyway, but I'm worried the stupid thing may be getting ready to eat itself. I thought the noise was a wheel bearing at first, but you...

Got it. Thanks man!

For the turn signal lights in the front fender flares on a TJ...which wire is hot and which is the ground? One has a yellow stripe, the other doesn't. Need to wire up new sockets (came with aftermarked fender flares). Thank you!

The ProComp AT's were okay...I would say good for the price. Not great, but good. They excelled in rain, sand, and what little snow we see in Georgia. Sidewall punctures a bit too easy for my taste. Mud traction was fair, but it's an AT so it was what I expected. Dry traction was top notch...

All done. There is a break-in period of sorts with this powder. Takes a few miles to fully break open the bags and get the powder doing its thing. Very wobbly when I left the shop but calmed down by the time I got home. Only a slight wobble left coming from the left front around 42 mph. Other...

Good research, SouthTJ. Thanks for sharing. I'm at the shop now. Should be rolling by lunchtime. I'll ask them about any 'shaking' during initial forward momentum.

Update: The shop is going to use powder bags rather than weights. It is their opinion that this will be more effective than weights due to the size of this tire on a 15" rim. (Unbalanced weight bieng further from the lip of the rim where the weights would be attached.) I'm skeptical, but...

If it's an evap leak code, this thread from a couple of years ago may be useful...posted pics toward the bottom of what I found. Hope it helps. http://www.jeepz.com/forum/cj-yj-tj-jk/28903-evap-leak-code-03-tj-4-0-auto.html

Just bought 33" Duratrac's for my TJ. Anyone else have these tires, and how hard was it for your local shop to balance them? I only ask 'cause they had a helluva time balancing the 32" Pro-Comp AT's I'm replacing. Hoping these will be easier.

I'll give it a go this weekend. Thanks!

Started happening recently...once it does pop out of 4hi it is loud and violent. Shudders the whole Jeep. Checked transmission fluid, seems to be full, good color and doesn't smell funny. This was after I used 4hi in heavy rain on-road. Not sure what else I could check or if I just need to take...

They have already been sold. Sorry! Thanks for the reply, though.
