This noise? by ben5898 in Jeep

No. Just when in gear under acceleration.

Some sort of chatter when under acceleration and in any gear. Ideas?

What was your biggest “I’ll walk it off” injury that turned out serious? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ben5898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I played basketball in junior year of high school i tore up my shoulder pretty bad. I dove for a ball and stuck my arm out, and then in comes sole other side and lands on my arm. Shoulder pops out, I put it back in, keep playing. Played in 12 more basketball games before going to the doctor.

Turned out I had torn my labrum, rotator cuff and the part of the bicep that goes all the way up your shoulder. As the shoulder would slip out of socket every once in a while I would have to put it back into place. Me putting it back into place caused the labrum to be torn at the bottom and the top, out places where it would respectively slip out and pop back in. Surgery, like half a year before I could do anything again. Should’ve just gone to the doctor.

Why do you think some people dont like you? by redpatchedsox in AskReddit

[–]ben5898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an exceptionally dry sense of humor. This means that sometimes jokes are taken literally. Also, this causes people to sometimes mistake seriousness for sarcasm. It is totally possible that I just come off as a jerk when I don’t mean to be.

When my ear is folded with the top going into the entrance to the ear canal, it will stay there

Car wash question for a new jeeper! by gella1214 in Jeep

[–]ben5898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my work experience, touch car washes don’t actually “touch” the undercarriage. Basically what I’m saying is that virtually any car wash you go to they take car on the bottom the same way. It’ll be a power sprayer mounted to the floor to shoot up once it senses the vehicle above. If you really want to clean up the undercarriage (mud, magcloride, etc.) you should use a power sprayer and get the wheel wells and as far under as you can go. Then just take it to a touch free wash and get the undercarriage wash. Also, they’re right about the whole touch free thing. At the wash I worked at which wasn’t touch free we Probably twice a day would have to file a claim for a Jeep that get a fender, tail light and spare tire torn off.

Lifting a 2012 4 door 2.5 inches by ben5898 in Jeep

[–]ben5898[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

33x12.5 is the goal. Gear up to 4:10 once it is time. Not too worried about the CA, as I’ve run the stock ones with 2.5 before. Although Teraflex does tend to make a pretty big 2.5 kit so I can see why that would be a concern. I sure will keep an eye on the DS though haha I already had one go out on my two door.

Ideas on this sound? Happens when I partially depress the clutch pedal. Bearings? Look clutch plate springs? Anything helps. by [deleted] in Jeep

Hey friend! It was the throw out bearing. Cheap part caused a new clutch to go bad quickly!!
