30 lbs may be based on the differential material, not the bolt. They are very easy to strip out with too many ugga duggas.
My Fastenal chart shows about 18 for a course thread, 5/16" lubricated fastener. So I'm saying the spec should be less than 30.
I like it. Would be a bit of a chore to make each change in each of the versions, but perhaps worth it.
We'd have to be sure we do it in a good/clean PDF. I know the pdf on this forum for the 97 model has some bigger problems, which Blaine pointed out in another thread.
He didn't really say how/why though, and that thread is now locked. I agree, 97 isn't the same quality that the others are. It seems to be more of a high quality scan or something compared to the others which were clearly digital documents from the outset.
Recently, while installing an Atlas transfer case in my LJ, I discovered that the FSM has the wrong resistance values in the chart for the Rubicon NP241 transfer case's position sensor. I was told this by Advance Adapters, but I didn't just take their word for it, I put an ohmmeter on my NP241's switch and ran through the gears. Below is the corrected chart, which can be found wrong in all three Rubicon model year FSMs, on the following pages:
I have a short video on my iPhone showing the values as I shift the case with a pliers, but I don't have a way to post it, and I'm not interested in learning that new trick. If you want that for proof, @Chris, I could text it to you. I wouldn't be offended - I couldn't believe Jeep would screw that up so badly.
- In the 2004 FSM, the chart is found on page 21-263 (pdf page 1413)
- In the 2005 FSM, the chart is found on page 21-231 (pdf page 1375)
- In the 2006 FSM, the chart is found on page 21-242 (pdf page 1432)

If there are enough mistakes, we could devote a thread to the corrections.
I don't know if it's a mistake, but why doesn't the 2006 fsm show the Blower Resistor wiring like the 2005? It's completely different and doesn't match what i have on my jeep.
That's an odd one. They show the heater control (no A/C option) and the A/C heater control (A/C option) on the same page, with both controls (A/C option and no A/C Option) shown and connected to each other. Huh?
It's supposed to be one or the other, not both. Also, where the blower motor outputs are shown, they are connected to each other with a loop and no blower motor is shown. Surely that page is a mistake, and they omitted all the pages that start with a "B" that are in the 2005 FSM (Blend Door Actuator, Blower Motor, Blower Motor Relay, Blower Motor Resistor Block.) Incidentally, the parts manuals list the same part numbers for 2005 and 2006 for blower motor and resistor, but different part numbers for the two heater controls (the A/C and no A/C options).Does your 2006 wiring match the 2005 FSM pages?
P.S. The 2005 FSM 8W-42 section isn't perfect, either. I noticed an odd thing in the 2005 FSM's 8W-42 Air Conditioning-Heater section's table of contents, too. Why is "Daytime Running Lamp Module" listed? That's part of the A/C-Heating system?
