    Vortec Powered Rubicon TJ on BaT

    Make sure you keep your low pressure AC line (that runs on the fender). You’ll have to come up with a different solution for your accumulator as well…I had custom lines made outside of that OEM low pressure line…because the stock accumulator will be in the way of the passenger side valve cover.

    Vortec Powered Rubicon TJ on BaT

    I don’t think I did a write up, but I’ve got it all in my head. I could do a write up…it’s super straight forward. The Jeep computer doesn’t control it at all, you just have to intercept the ground that the control switch sends when on any of the AC selections. I’ll write it up…gimme a bit.

    Vortec Powered Rubicon TJ on BaT

    Time to move on to my next project and build a go-fast vehicle. I enjoy turning wrenches more than I do off-roading, so there is bound to be someone else out there that this Jeep would serve better. Can’t share the reserve price until the auction is over per the BaT rules. However, with what I...

    The LS Swap Begins

    I know on my throttle body, I can replace the throttle position sensor. Can you do the same on the DBW throttle body’s? Maybe you’ve got a bad one. But if it’s always done that, it might be your ETC settings in your tune in relation to your MAF calculations and variations in the intake tube...

    The LS Swap Begins

    Are you drive by cable or wire? Has the throttle always been touchy like that?

    The LS Swap Begins

    Yes, I did, it is supposedly designed for better torque response with the sweet spot between 1800-6000rpm, and I agree about the PE delay…on stock truck tunes it is usually like 90% throttle and > 4000rpm before you get there…

    The LS Swap Begins

    Mine is insanely fast. I can pull on my son when he’s driving my Ram with a 400hp+ Hemi. I have 4.10 gears and 33’s tho. Did you ever modify your tune? Or did you go straight stock? I watched all your videos multiple times over before I began my swap and I think you stuck to stock everything...

    The LS Swap Begins

    Jeep PCM running the AC? How did you route that? I ran a line from the ground signal of the selector that goes back to the PCM to trigger the relay for 12v AC request to the PCM, and then the PCM fires a ground to another relay that sends 12v to the compressor as long as my cycling switch is...

    Long Term LS Swap TJ Update

    Fun fact…the Jeep was accepted for sale on BringATrailer.com…it’s actually still posted on CL for $30k (honestly wanted to see levels of interest and it has been good) preparing the auction details now. There was a TJ with a Hemi swap and slightly less miles that sold a few weeks ago on there...

    Long Term LS Swap TJ Update

    Yeah, runs great…even better now! I get like 11mpg because I tend to have my foot in the throttle a bit more than a normal person would. If I tootled around in it, I could see it getting 15mpg…

    Arizona Subwoofer enclosure with amp

    You mean the console that the subwoofer goes in? I do have that installed. Are you saying you’d trade yours plus the hundo for the subwoofer enclosure? Mine is that dark grey color interior…

    Arizona Subwoofer enclosure with amp

    Selling my subwoofer enclosure with amp and newer subwoofer. I needed the space inside the center console for interior electronics and wiring for my LS swap, so I no longer need this. Works as it should. $100 obo - and I can ship it if you’d like, but buyer pays all shipping costs and does leg...
