    I'm not buying another r2.8.... I'd rather buy nothing (or even better, find a new way to make a spun bearing noise).... but this is the 2.8's chance. With that said, there is a 3rd possibility which channels my inner Vice Grip Garage.... but we won't mention that yet.

    Soooo long story short, bottom end sounds like it's losing a rod cap. Took it to Cummins to diagnose the throttle issue and an electrical gremlin. Both were more installer error.... but when they got done, suddenly it had a rod knock. We thought it was coming from the transmission.... it's...

    PCV connected stereo now works... I had to put headphones on to turn it down.... though making noise required pulling the dash yet another time all that's left is everything else.... like putting seats in for real

    the neverending stereo install.... glad I didn't hide wires yet - no sound is coming out first, the antenna needs another connector, but even so, I'm getting nothing from android play or even bluetooth from my computer.... more parts tomorrow... need another fuse for a power wire and an...

    back to the Jeep. The weird sound - almost like a boost leak but not quite. I hope this is the problem I think I'll weld the flanges together then use a V-band to make it removeable. I spent some quality time on this trying to find the noise... hope it's it. Otherwise, this may go do its...
