Lift trouble
Talking from lots of experience here you need a LOT of pressure pushing down on the upper control arm for the nut to move. A trick is to heat the nut up, not cherry hot just enough to say melt plastic. These nuts have polyurethane near the end of the nut which prevent loosening over time...- Minimike

pinion reset
I used to do on all sorts of vehicles. Was even able to do it to my old 97 Dodge Stratus. Most PCM's have a section that you can either change the pinion ratio (software, which you usually need a chart for) or enter in a tire size and the PCM will do the rest. On all the new ford all we had to...- Minimike

Rear Shocks.
Nope I just replaced mine because I lifted the KJ and stock shock weren't long enough. Also is easier quicker and 10 nut removal less to just leave the tires on. I did it in the dirt with no jack and just simple hand tools in about 5-10 minutes for both sides. To each their own I guess. Also...- Minimike

Fluid leaking from rear center cap???
Have you had a recent brake job? some technicians will grease the hub hole of the rotor or the hub face to prevent corrosion and the rotor seizing onto the hub (I use a smal about of dielectric grease or anti-seize, the copper stuff.). If he used to much it may be getting hot and oozing out...- Minimike

lots of questions
Been a mechanic for 8 years and I have never seen one problem with spacers. We use to install them on brand new Ford F-150's. Never had a problem, not once (we sold about 20 new trucks a month). Now if you but cheap ones you have have hub-centric issues. But good ones usually have tapered holes...- Minimike

Rear Shocks.
yes for most manly dirty jobs some form of manly drink is required :P But yes that's all you have to do. If your KJ is high enough you may not even need a jack (to reach the top bolt, the tire might be in the way). Since shocks do not affect ride height what so ever when you remove them the...- Minimike

how to disable DRL??
I will for sure give that a shot! Thanks. I'm headed to the local dodge dealership tomorrow for EVAP issues and a oil change. So I will also ask them about programming the BCM to change how the DRL system operates. I would love to have the fog lights come on as DRL's. But I do plan on putting a...- Minimike

will these tires fit?
I must have been somewhat blind today lol. I didn't even see the 70 series in there. Will the 31" work just fine? I don't mind doing the pinch weld modification. Thanks for the response. I have been reading that 31's with a 2.5" lift can sometimes have moderate rubbing.- Minimike

how to disable DRL??
well I was able to find the DRL relay. It is in the interior fuse box at the top right. It is not labelled in the manuals but the inside of the cover does say DRL. However removing the DRL relay not only disables DRL but also your high beams.... there is no winning here. But with the HID's I...- Minimike

Hello, well Canadian Tire has a good sale on right now. They have a buy 3 get the 4th free on Goodyear Wrangler Territory. The closest size that I can find that is close to the 17" stock size is 245/75R17. Aside from a 3" lift I have not modified the front pinch weld. So my question. Does...- Minimike

how to disable DRL??
I will probably go with a kit to stop it during the summer. But for right now it would be great to just disable it. I already have a anti-flicker kit installed and it doesn't work. Hey tjkj2002, which relay do you pull to disable it, what is its location number?- Minimike

how to disable DRL??
its required that they work for a safety check. I want to have it so my marker lights turn on as day time running lights rather then the high beams. A lot of Chevrolet vehicles use the markers as daytime running lights. especially older truck and it works fine. Thanks for the idea! :)- Minimike

how to disable DRL??
HHmm, I went through the owners manual fuse/relay section. They didn't list a DRL relay. Maybe they don't label it so we cant disable it. What number relay is it in yours? Mine is a 07.- Minimike

how to disable DRL??
Hello, well the HID's are in. Work great. For the moment I have been turning my lights on whenever I drive to avoid the "flicker" problem encountered when you supply lower voltage to the ballast. After days of searching and Googlin' I have come up with nothing. I would like to have the option to...- Minimike
