    SAR JK r2.8 Cummins conversion

    I've seen these on my floor before... something I didn't realize, it really looks like the Jeep JK bolt pattern for the 3.8 is the same as the Cummins r2.8... still deciding what I'm going to do... AX15, rebuild the stocker or just send it with the overkill TR4050

    SAR JK r2.8 Cummins conversion

    Updating. The Jeep is back and not done. At this moment, I'm not sure what, exactly, to say about the shop that was 'helping' me... so moving on. The motor/trans/transfer case is still out In an effort to make lemonade,. I think I'm going to change the one thing I really don't like about its...

    onward, back together but I think I'm going to add a second layer of heat shielding - of course, all of that and the next project is still in Kennewick back together. one of those smart things I did was create this head pipe with v-bands on either end... makes work so much easier (not easy...

    I find it interesting that out of 6 or so motors that I've built/upgraded/owned that this is the very first that needed the hose clamps for the bypass hoses. though, in my own defense, the hose I used initially, failed.... though why it had to fail in the hardest spot to fix? yeah.. for those...

    time to make lights but first, colorful spaghetti of course it means taking things apart (again) need to install the controller for the heated mirrors we have light hottest day of the year and I get the heated mirrors and heated seats working.... of course, the dash bezel doesn't fit with...

    also a plug for this power probe maestro tester. Most electronic controls in cars these days rely on a signal from the computer to operate. Gone are the days of powering/grounding a motor and having it work - the computer tells it whether or not to work and that's done with a signal that looks...

    Mine has the terminal because it came from a civilian H1. What is interesting, though, is everyone says it's the white wire that is the signal and it's not with this aftermarket plug (which means, trust but verify). Thankfully I have a tester that will tell me whether or not there is a...

    So the gauge is at Speedhut to figure out what happened. mostly I've been moving, but tonight got to do fun rather then maintenance... what do I choose to do for fun? align a window. I know, I know, I should slow down - does it help that it took me 2 hours to complete? first problem was the...

    the tach does something... woo? certainly not woohoo the alternator is definitely putting out a waveform that the tach should recognize but no just the initial setting... time to call the maker Also, need to trace a new diesel leak (that seems to be coming from the valley again)... grand. I...

    continuing the same thread I wired the wastegate closed... best was about 9 psi... same turbo on my other 6.5 td is limited to 11. It was at 20 the first time I ran it.... was going to put the other controller on it, but that makes no sense right now. it might just need to be run in more -...

    for unknown reason(s), the turbo doesn't have the output it should have. Current test, is the wastegate stuck or held open thus the first step is clear a space to work - I need that step. pull the exhaust off the back and look which I did and nothing is hanging it open... think next up is tie...

    alignment time supervisor Samson says it's too much Luigi, on the other hand, says 'send it' zero camber, 7.5 degrees castor... need to fix that last number tomorrow.

    and onto making it at least start pretty. Washed it last night, tonight and the foreseeable future will be cut and buff. Roof it terrible but other then that... it's quite fixable.

    A few on here know me personally, and likely remember me as the guy with that huge dog at the NWOverland Rally. I was crushed the weekend I went to my first Optima challenge (2021) because I lost my English Mastiff 'Buick' he was only 6 and got leukemia. ' there will never be a replacement...

    at least it wasn't terrible to buy the parts to fix it? I'm still annoyed but I wonder how much this cost Cummins - I had a neighbor relating this story to me, for some reason he didn't realize that I had posted it .... that kind of advertising isn't something anyone wants.... and an appendix...
