    Black Magic 16" Big Brake Kit (install)

    What's a Cobra Mustang? Are you talking about the P51 Mustang airplane? If so I never heard of a Cobra Mustang aircraft, were you talking about the Shelby Mustang Cobra car? The 'pilot' makes me think you're talking about an airplane but....

    What am I missing here? (a death wobble thread)

    Two items are always high on my list as possible causes/enablers of DW. But first, are you actually experiencing true full-blown OMB my eyes are blurring my TJ is out of control type of DW, or is it just a speed sensitive shimmy? A shimmy will stop if you slow down below the speed it starts...

    Question on locker size difference between Dana 44 and Super 35

    After lots of googling I can't figure out what the case size difference would be between a full carrier locker a Super 35 uses vs. the same locker when made for a Dana 44. Like a Detroit Locker or Eaton E-Locker made for a Super 35 and the same lockers made for a Dana 44. As in if they were...

    Test AC Clutch / Compressor

    X2. If the refrigerant is low that indicates there's a leak in the system. They don't consume refrigerant so find the leak by use of a leak-finding dye added to the refrigerant.

    Gear ratios for 33'' tires

    It is but when/if you go for a Super 35 it requires a 30 spline locker to match its 30 spline axle shafts.

    Is Interco smoking meth?

    I dunno from personal experience but I never read anyone suggesting that Interco tires were also a good street tire in addition to being primarily for offroad use. If it's going to be on the street much I'd go in a different direction.

    How often should I grease centering ball in front driveshaft?

    That was an excellent decision, who knows what might have happened had you not done that!! 👍

    2001 Jeep Wrangler camshaft synchronizer broke

    Damn that broken part is hard to find. The Mopar parts guide says it's p/n 4897023 but that only brings up the top sensor itself, not what is broken. Not even Rockauto.com shows it. I'd call Davey's at https://daveysjeeps.com/ who has Jeeps in the back lot they can pull it out of. That p/n...

    Trackbar to Diff Interference

    His problem is at the front where trackbar relocation brackets that push the axle-end track bar mount toward the driver's-side are not used. There are dropped track bar mounts for for the front but they'd only make his problem worse.

    Failed smog test for high nox

    I'm not sure, probably not. 192 is still lower than normal/recommended though. One more thought, has your engine ever pinged causing you to need to run higher octane gasolines like 89 or 91 to stop the pinging?

    No TJ Dana 44 axles came with ABS.

    Failed smog test for high nox

    Yeah 192 is low. Is it possible a lower temperature thermostat like a 165 or 180 degree was installed instead of the correct 195 degree model?

    The start of my pirate days before a small cannon ball took me eye out matey! :ROFLMAO:

    What is the best way to route a cable to the engine compartment?

    Absolutely on all that, especially on avoiding an unsealed battery inside the passenger compartment. Personally I'd go for a sealed AGM there.

    Something tells me we're all purposely being trolled which is not a good idea here.

    Tore off a shock mount, interference with rear axle (05 LJ)

    In my opinion it's very hard to surpass the quality and reputation of anything made/designed by Currie.

    Tore off a shock mount, interference with rear axle (05 LJ)

    Lift height is like boob size. The bigger either is the sexier it is but the more expensive and the more problems it will cause. :ROFLMAO:
