Following to watch later. Wife had a Cobalt SS with a M62 charged 2.0L. The torque that thing made would be fantastic in the Jeep. I am mostly curious about what he did for engine management in Part4.

The trailer is not specifically for the Jeep but here it is on my 20' car hauler with 4' dovetail...

Basic tune-up (cap, rotor, plugs) and replaced a rusted out freeze plug in the head. I thought I was going in for a head gasket replacement due to a bad misfire and spewing coolant below the exhaust manifold. Luckily the two issues were exclusive and easy fixes (other than finding a 7/8" cup...

6" is definitely not required on a GMT800 for 33s. A Suburban will accommodate that with a torsion bar crank. My old Tahoe with 275/60/20 (32.9") with only cranked torsion bars... 6" on an IFS is going to play hell with the drive line angles. Dropping the differential without rotation to...

So the Jeep tune looks to use a part throttle and WOT base table with a lot of correction tables. The part throttle is same as WOT except for the 1200-3000rpm at 20&25KPA cells (circled in red) which are reduced to 20. I presume this is for engine braking or lean cruise on decel as that is the...

The description of both state 'stock tune'. I will download both and compare when I get home this evening.

I presume you are using an aftermarket engine management system? I found stock 2005 and 2006 4.0L files in the HPTuners respository but can't look at them till I get home on my tuning laptop. I can take a screen shot or export later.

Stumbled across this thread picking up the research for my own LS/manual swap. I will not be doing any serious offroading (mostly sand and silty mud here) and will have a max 33" tire but will have a bit more power with a mild heads/cam LS1 (5.7L). I have had a NV3500 in my '95 C1500. It was...

I am sure I could search it but I presume these Brute conversions were from AEV? Just curious on the highline kits used per the pic above so may be specific to that particular conversion. The OP's pic doesn't seem to have a highline done.

I will somewhat disagree with this statement. Most coaxial speakers only have a passive filter on the tweeter and the woofer will receive full signal. I like to utilize HPF on coaxials set around the low frequency response of the woofer to maximize power handling at high volumes. Sending a...

There are some limestone hills and caverns northeast of here but mostly just swamp/sand trails thru pine thickets in my immediate area in NWFL. Dont start getting into real rocks till mid-state AL/GA and I have not ventured up that way for any offroading.

Unfortunately, no. That's still a project on the to-do list. Since I want to keep a manual transmission, which will be different from the current AX5, I presume both driveshafts will need alterations and a Explorer 8.8 is the plan for the rear axle. I don't rock crawl, mostly just trail...

On the intercooler discussion... at 5.5psi you are likely not loosing anything without the intercooler if it is tuned well and running high enough octane fuel to stave off detonation. Detonation reduction is the main purpose of the intercooler on a forced induction application.

Good luck getting any support from KB on a discontinued kit. I have sent multiple emails over the years for a discontinued kit on another platform that have all gone unanswered. Got someone on the phone once and got the 'we don't support that kit anymore and dont have any info' response.

Did you try a new relay in the ASD slot? If not, try that first. If that doesn't work... Download the FSM for circuit schematics and ECM pinouts. Use your meter to see if you are getting trigger from ECM to the relay block, I believe it is a ground signal but verify in FSM. Unfortunately if...
