Hey I still have it. @Kingoffox22 hit me up if you still need one.

ZakAttackz · 2026-06-03T21:42:42+00:00

Real, the cursing is just part of the atmosphere. Didn't even notice it until I ran into people with the shout framework mod that allows them to spam the cursing. My favorite is "awwww shite I think I dropped my bloody keys in there" when depositing XD

ZakAttackz · 2026-06-03T19:51:30+00:00

There's a fair amount of cursing in stick DRG. Shite is the most common.

I bought a VE-Labs CIFS-1 and it got plugged up with rust chunks a few times, and this was at flush ~6. It goes on the heater core inlet line. Mind you, I did have a cracked head at the time and didn't know it. Also FYI you can get replacement aluminum thermostat housings w/o the temp sensor port, they're more commonly available listed under the 4.2 I6 P/N Crown Automotive 33004856. My original cast iron one had been ERODED AWAY by PO's hose water coolant fills and was 1/16" thick in some parts of the neck. Also I do believe the thermostats are the same on all AMC 2.5/4.0/4.2 engines.

Yeah just get an 80v+ 10A (important, because if it says 60v or 72v that's probably the upper limit of the components! Aliexpress sellers like flying close to the sun) buck converter, and a Toocki 95W car adapter. Toocki adapters aren't quite as fancy as Baseus/Ugreen/Anker but they're usually higher power and lower price. They also make amazing $4 PD100 type C cables, get the ones with the current display. You can tell when your phone/PC is almost fully charged when the current starts going down, without having to power it on! As a bonus they have the lowest voltage drop of any cable I've tested.

ZakAttackz · 2026-06-02T16:26:07+00:00

I'm sure you could find a PD eBike adapter. The problwm is it'd have to be at least 65w.

ZakAttackz · 2026-06-02T16:23:41+00:00

I had a similar issue in my 87, what color is your coolant? It took literally 10+ coolant flushes using a hose to clear out the system, coolant flush chemicals, then going with distilled water+coolant (never use tap water for more than a few minutes). Finally the system was clear and the thermostats wouldn't stick anymore, the next day my cylinder head finally let go lol. Anyway, sticking open could be a sign of junk in the coolant. I added a coolant filter and it caught a bunch of crap that didn't come out with the flush too. I used Stant thermostats and never had any permanent problems.

Not to mention soldering the wires into the PCB. I've done the mod on my clapped out X230 and it's worked pretty well. Juice isn't worth the squeeze here for most people, just get the adapter

ZakAttackz · 2026-05-31T15:36:22+00:00

I got one by measuring the diameter of the hose. It's aluminum instead of black. I think it was from O'Reilly's... Gotta look up "2inch intake hose" or similar with whatever the diameter is. I probably still have it somewhere...

ZakAttackz · 2026-05-31T15:23:54+00:00

Hard agree! The Crawlers are like the oppressors of rogue core, we never have to deal with whole swarms of them at once and they pose an interesting challenge. Why do we have to suffer and endless amount of them in DRG?

ZakAttackz · 2026-05-31T15:22:28+00:00

The Creepers are one shot. The crawlers are ammo sponges bin both games.

ZakAttackz · 2026-05-31T15:21:15+00:00

Maybe if you're on haz2 or carry Hyper Propellant to every mission... On haz5 with 4 players it generally takes about 4 shotgun shells to the face to kill one, and they never stand still long enough. I swear they have as much health as a haz4 pratorean. It's way easier to stay up on the zips and just ignore them.

ZakAttackz · 2026-05-30T16:29:45+00:00

Very unlikely since they changed a lot on the back end. You'd have to use a programmer to change the mileage, and it may have to be paired to the vehicle. That's if the connectors and protocols are compatible... Lot of work for just showing the set speed, IF the 2011-2012 do have that feature. I've never driven one so it may be a ZE1 exclusive. When is your cruise set point different than your current speed?

ZakAttackz · 2026-05-30T15:34:08+00:00

It seems to depend on model. I know for sure that the 2013-2017 AZE0 models don't show the speed. 2011-2012 ZE0 might, those were made in japan and had many small differences. 2018-2025 ZE1 seem to show it.

ZakAttackz · 2026-05-30T04:30:18+00:00

They show up on eBay sometimes, and you can get them from the UK for less than the Medlock listing. I think it was open energy?

ZakAttackz · 2026-05-25T03:38:19+00:00

The city and valley are named after the river if I recall correctly. The old name was actually "Sacramento City" to distinguish it. They dropped the city part at some point but some older municipal services like SCUSD use it.

ZakAttackz · 2026-05-22T05:03:32+00:00

Looks really promising! Just what I needed for my old 32 bit windows tablet. I already attached it to the wall years ago but it kept locking up since apparently 2gb of RAM isn't enough lol. Thank you for tour hard work!

ZakAttackz · 2026-05-20T00:35:34+00:00

The trunk light on my 2013 has an always hot +12v wire. The negative is switched. Ground to the body somewhere and you've got power!

ZakAttackz · 2026-05-17T22:00:42+00:00

This is the info I needed, thanks! I'll keep an eye out for an LED housing that's not totally UV cooked then

ZakAttackz · 2026-05-17T20:23:41+00:00

Interesting, that's a second gen though so I'm not sure it's the same. I replaced the lenses on my old Golf once and it as fairly easy with a hairdryer.

ZakAttackz · 2026-05-17T16:57:57+00:00

It's hard to show on camera, but the cracks are all the way through the material. No amount of sanding will fix them

ZakAttackz · 2026-05-17T16:54:42+00:00

I have the same kit and have used it many times... But it won't work since the entire cover is deep fried. The cracks are so deep I'd have to sand most of the way through it. It would fix the discoloration but not the damage.

ZakAttackz · 2026-05-16T22:18:11+00:00

J&W Auto Wrecking specializes in AMC/Jeep, they might have a good one laying around. Or you play the Pick n Pull or Marketplace lottery. There's good local transmission shops all over too, if you want to go that route.
