Replacing the sensor fixed my issue. Maybe try jiggling the connection and give the oil pressure sensor a few taps. Mine would read true momentarily if you tapped it just right.

Yea I feel your pain and have come to despise the 2000-2001 dual precat design. Had this exact issue a few weeks ago when I also upgraded to the banks header on my 2001 during my head swap. My front DS actually hit the flange when flexed out wheeling recently. Not proud of this...but I used...

Delete the ABS, not a big deal. I ran a 8.25 in an ABS XJ for a few years.

Are you planning on staying with 32s or are you going to a bigger tire eventually?

A Dana 35 is best used as a boat anchor. The cheapest, easiest bolt in option is to find a C8.25 (29 spline preferably) on Craigslist, Marketplace, or the Junkyard. They are pretty common. If you want more strength check out the Ford 8.8. It won't bolt directly in but as far as axle swaps go...

KO2s are my choice. I've run them on 3 different vehicles for over 100K miles and never had a flat. All 3 vehicles saw significant offroad usage. Currently have a set on my Ram 2500 Cummins that has over 50K miles on them with a few miles left on them still. They do great offroad and handle...

There are free angle finder apps for your phone that will help you get an exact angle. They are pretty useful for dialing in pinion and driveshaft angles.

Yea if I had a nickel for every time an alignment shop told me something stupid or that I need to replace a part that was fine...I'd have like $2. I wouldn't trust the shop's word without proof, since they have an incentive to sell you more parts and labor. As for the decision to stick with...

The weight won't affect the SYE. What axle installation are you talking about? What are they selling you now? Honestly sounds like this shop is taking your lunch money. A better question is why do you need a SYE right now...is there a vibration? If you only have 3" of lift and dropped the...

I have never blown up a D30 R&P but I know a guy who did. He was in a TJ so it was a LP D30. And he was running 37s for years so he was pretty much asking for it to blow up

Good one AI chatbot. Thank you for your contribution.

I went with the ECGS "Dana 489". Its basically a beefed up TJ 44 housing (1/2" thick tubes vs 1/4" stock) with a JK 44 8.89" ring gear. Opted for RCVs so its warrantied up to 40s, not that I'd ever want to do that. Maintaining stock width and bolt pattern were important to me. Also in the...

Tons are way overkill for your needs and built up stock axles probably won't be worth it. And with overbuilt stock axles you will always have to be careful and limit your throttle. I was in a similar position to you, minus the 350, and ended up with 44/9". Its built correct once and will be...

I used to always disconnect the battery religiously. Then once I forgot and nothing bad happened so eventually I got out of the habit. Now I never disconnect the battery when welding and I've never had any issues as a result.

Dang that sucks, how many miles did she make it? Just did mine last week with a replacement head from Clearwater. I think mine might have been only a very slightly bad head gasket but there is no way I was going to throw that ticking time bomb back on the engine. The head gasket on there...

Pulled the valve cover Saturday and saw nothing notable. No evidence of coolant or any visible cracks. Ran the engine maybe 10 minutes and still no signs of coolant. Doesn't mean that a crack doesn't exist (evidence says it probably does exist), but nothing is visible. If a crack was visible...

I'm not following, could you explain your thoughts on the harmonic balancer? Regardless, I replaced the harmonic balancer a year and a half ago

Yea I didn't see anything but it's not easy to see in there. Was considering pulling the valve cover for a better look when it warms up

The sample was taken 2/2/24, during the oil change. I let a little oil flow first then filled the provided sample bottle like they recommend. I did go on a deep snow bashing trail run in January. Could it pick up water from that? Definitely will keep an eye on it. I think I'll run...

I finally got around to doing a Blackstone oil analysis on my 2001. I use Mobil 1 10W-30 Full Synthetic High Mileage and run the recommended amount of Seafoam in the oil a few days before the oil change. It has 147k miles and runs great. Thought the test would be for peace of mind and was...
