What did you do to your jeep today?

Damotee · Jun 20, 2017

I took my Jeep to the garage and had the JBA upper control arms installed plus a wheel alignment. It drives a lot better now. The rattle is gone and the steering feels more rigid and responsive.

I am sick of stupid cheap powersteering pumps. I finally decided to change brands and stop replacing them for free due to the lifetime warranty. I have gone through 6 powersteering pumps now. The last 4 have all been from advance auto and they have all been the cardone brand. I would recommend staying away from replacing with that brand. I decided to get the one that Oreilly's carries and I will see how this one holds up. If it last longer than 3 months it is already doing better than the last 4. I have done this so many times now I feel that I could do it in my sleep. I really hope this one lasts at least through July.

Could just get OEM with the pulley and tank already installed,brand new not remaned.

I did that when I did my SFA swap just because(nothing wrong with the old pump) and from the dealership was $20 less then anyones remaned pump without tank and pulley.

Picked up a reman CV from Napa today and now I think the passenger side upper "strut" mount is going bad, getting the squeak like I did from the drivers last fall/winter. Am I the only one that has had them go bad? Lol.

The strange feeling you get when the owner of a 17 Porsche 911 Carrera, stops you at the Post Office to talk cars/ Jeeps/ etc.
Pretty cool guy, what I've always said if you're a true car guy/girl you appreciate any type of vehicle done right .

I had a Cardone pump last 3 years, went bad in october (my fault, not the pumps) replaced it with another Cardone and it's still going strong since.. no issues with them here....they're really easy to kill though if you run fluid with air in it through them. You're sure you had the system bled correctly?

Started turning the wheels with full fluid before turning on the jeep? Top the fluid back off, then start it with the wheels off the ground and turn them to lock 20 times while adding fluid to keep it topped off?
First step is the easiest part to mess up.. if you don't do it, you'll blow the pump.

Rode in it to the doc's office again. AC good...

Got the surgery dressing off and just some light gauze - for any remaining seepage - put on. I think my surgeon does more wrenching than I do.

I wish we could get the JBA upper control arms in Hemi orange. When I do my engine rebuild I am also going to be painting the block and heads Hemi orange. After all our engines are a semi-hemi, if you have seen the combustion chamber on the 3.7 you know what I mean.

Can you paint something that was powder coated?

smittyfromPA · Jun 21, 2017

Started saving $ for parts for front end. Passenger side CV can be moved by hand and clicks. This is the second set of CV axles (about 40K miles on em lifted.) Never had the intermediate shaft done so its getting replaced too. Probably upper and lower ball joints while I'm at it. I think my e-brake is toast too. I've been traveling so haven't had time to take a good look at things.
