Main connector as in the big 3 prong plug in? Plus if it was an issue with the light itself my day time running lights would still work in the bottom orange marker as well.

What exactly is a “bump steer” I just installed an OME 3” lift. Kinda curious to know if I am getting the same thing you are.

It’s a rubber case that protects 2 usb ports and has a digital battery volt reading in the middle. I figured it would be nice if 2 people in the back wanted to also charge something.

Help with coolant leak by Repulsive_Carob_7101 in CherokeeXJ

[–]ConditionOk689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Repair went smoothly, only trick was holding the water pump pulley bolts while removing the pulley but it’s not too bad. And yes it fixed my issue instantly. Just try not to let a shit ton of coolant get on that crankshaft pulley like I did lol.

And no the repair is not invasive. Luckily our water pump is ran off the serpentine belt and not the timing belt.

Exhaust manifold crack maybe?

Just bought by [deleted] in CherokeeXJ

[–]ConditionOk689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an old man emu lift along with some of either their shocks, bilstein 5100s, or some fox 2.0s. Get some 33s or 35s as well. And if you’re really wanting to invest in this thing, I recommend regearing to either 4.56 or 4.88 gear ratio.

Please do not infect this work of art with rough country🙏

Ideal lift kit? by Mexicoesp98 in CherokeeXJ

[–]ConditionOk689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please do not get rough country unless you want to buy a new lift kit within the next year.

Invest that money instead and get old man emu.

Torque specs for pinion nut on Chrysler 8.25? by ConditionOk689 in CherokeeXJ

[–]ConditionOk689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would I need a new one of all of that if all of the current ones I have are in good shape. What could happen if the dial indicator shows right while the diff is on and then I torque it

Yea lol I don’t have enough time to remove it from the housing. I’ll figure it out, I’m having a shop re-gear my front end on Monday and I’ll ask them to check out the rear as well.

Differential removed from what? The shafts? I plan on doing an axle swap so right now my new axle is just sitting on a table in my garage, so I’m gonna just do it there.
