    JKU VSS and TCS issue

    My JKU is a manual. However I've had the same issue. Tracked it down to the front wheel speed sensors. Since my lift, and 285's, the tire would rub ever so slightly on the wheel speed sensor wire (both sides). Failure mode was intermittent at first. Lights would light up. Driving straight...

    '86 Grand Wagoneer - slow build

    Hey guys, it followed me home a few months ago. 1986 GW. 360 AMC, stock trans, with a manual shift transfer case conversion. Currently AC and Heater do not work. I'm in the process of swapping in Grand Cherokee front seats as the cost of reupholstering was nuts. Rides on a 4" lift of...

    Who will buy Jeep from FCA?

    Without Jeep and Dodge, FCA (the Chrysler part) makes ZERO money. All cars that C produces are money losers. Jeep and Dodge truck are the only value. Divesting of those gets a cash influx, then Chrysler can disappear. Wouldn't make sense unless they simply want the cash. I doubt that's the...

    Synthetic vs Steel winch cable in snow, ice, and salt?

    I don't have quantifiable data on the subject, only observations. I'm in Michigan, the land of ice and salt. I have a 15yr old x8000i winch with the original wire rope. It has been covered with a plastic cover all of its life while sitting on an old '85 wrangler. The winch cable looks new...

    Winch Cable repair - Michigan review

    Here it is. It'll take me a few days to get home and take a pic of the section with the loop-back, but you get the idea. From a cost perspective, I'm sure its cheaper to do the loop-back. Pic as requested. The white material on the swage is the grease used to lube up the die-set...

    Winch Cable repair - Michigan review

    Recently, I posted a need to repair my winch cable (steel). The original Warn cable was simply a swaged loop-back with no thimble. Frayed to the point where i wanted a proper repair. I didn't want to use cable clips (saddle) as they get hung up on the bumper, and are not "neat" as my OCD...

    Winch Cable repair

    I think a new cable is in order. If like to move to Syn, but in MI winters, and only occasional use, I think a replacement is in order. I can use portions of the orig for extension. Thanks for the collective wisdom.

    I need to repair my winch cable end (hook end termination). The eye where the hook rides was damaged. The original termination is factory via an aluminum swage. I don't want to use the saddle clips (not debating their effectiveness). In my application, they would get hung up inside my...
