    Wasn’t having any issues but tore the carb down tonight for a general look see….. guess it’s been awhile might be an understatement. I’ve seen picts of this occurring but it’s a first for me. Luckily I had a pair of AED 50cc pumps and a pack of Superperformance gaskets in the trailer.

    Two weeks ago it was my “intention” to maybe take the trek to Vegas for at least Saturdays race…. but alas it’s going to be 112 here and 100ish in Vegas. It’s really too bad they don’t run in the evening up there anymore. It was hot, but at least when the sun went over the mountain it was...

    I am so looking forward to winter, and hot summer days being gone.

    150 degree ground temps is what kills the unsuspecting over the 120 ambient. Sun goes down and the heat radiates from the ground. It’s a vicious cycle for months. Then monsoon season arrives and provides enough humidity where the swamp coolers become non effective which makes working in a...

    Already have a plow lined up for our 96 Jeep….. now if I can just get out of this oven and give that winter gig a whirl!

    Online Air Density Any Good?

    Guess I’ve never compared my station to the online stuff. Airdensityonline.com is one I’ve looked at when I’m following some racer friends online

    Any Jeep technicians out there?

    Leave it be…. It’s smarter than all of us and has a mind of its own. I agree that the short trip deal is probably the cause, but the system is working “as designed”….. that’s kind of like “normal good” and “normal bad” in the industry. While I haven’t pursued this issue on the KL Cherokee, I...

    Drag Week 2024 live feed..

    and there it is…… again. I have two 904s. One is a stock component build with attention to detail. Only “jewelry” inside it is a Pro Trans Brake, A500 pump gear, and an A&A front clutch spring pack. All drums have oil relief hole drilled in them to relieve centrifugal weight. It was built to...

    Guys this is why you work on your car trailer

    My roadtrip hacienda….. just enough room between the golf cart and the Duster On 3-4 day events we used to get a motel…. but that’s all stopped with society. Our stuff is safe at the track so we make do living there.

    Guys this is why you work on your car trailer

    That was a game changer for me too John…. Dumped the E rated tires for some Greenball Towmaster G rated tires. Only caviet is that I’m quite sure my wheels are not rated for them. Usually leave the house with them at 90psi. I wouldn’t buy a trailer that didn’t have 16” wheels. I also take...

    Guys this is why you work on your car trailer

    Actually…… our old 2500 displaced that theory. Prior to the boat sale it would sit outside. It too would go through tires in the 2-3 year range. Biggest issue was probably letting it sit. I only live 8 miles from work and have a jeep for a daily, so unless we were towing the boat or race...

    My trailer “fun” from a few years ago….. we’d been having tire wear issues on the rear axle. Took the trailer to a repair facility where I made the call to replace the axle. It was at this time they upsold me the Dexter EZ flex equalizer kit. Looked good….. all moving parts have serviceable...

    All the time…. the off road community around here is awesome. You break down in the desert on whatever desert toy, throw a SOS post with a pin on the local page, and you’ll get help.

    Guys this is why you work on your car trailer

    Prior to storing my trailer tires inside for the summer (June through Sept) we’d get two year on them…… maybe 3, but it was on that 3 we’d lose one or two. My present tires are dated coded 2019. By far the most we’ve gotten out of a trailer tire since moving to the desert. I also store the...

    Well the same fixture I conjured up to check runout came in real handy to mount in a vice at work and machine the rotors. Got those trued up and in taking a peek at the two step deal I found the plug from the two step to the MSD box loose…. Like really loose. I think the circuit board was...

    Well after 8 long months we finally made some hits. The Mopar Musclecar Shootout was held at Famoso and despite the weather forecast we made the 5hr trek west. This event had previously been a Sacramento race, but with the closing of that facility the promoter brought it south. Attendance...

    Lets hear your suggestions for a winch for a car trailer.

    The ole HF 5k floor mounted unit in our race trailer. Solenoids divorced on these so I acquired an electrical box from Amazon to house the relays. We went side mount with removable center pin as the golf cart is in the front of the trailer.

    Mines a pavement princess so I’ll always have “HT” tires. I think one time at a trailhead with the RZR open trailer we actually used 4x4.

    No clutches in your American axle so no friction modifier needed. A little chatter is kind of nature of the beast on some of these.

    Funny thing was that I had myself convinced that a 6.4 hemi 2500/3500 would have worked just fine. Our racing has slowed, the boat has sold, and the only other toy is a 14ft open trailer for the RZR. Worked on a customers 3500 SRW 6.4 hemi 4.10 gear AND factory 50 gal gas tank, I was like...

    68RFE wouldn’t have been a deal breaker for sure on my 17, but am happy the AISIN is there. IMHO the only good 08-12 CTD is a DELEATED 08-12 CTD. relying solely on EGR to meet emissions was a really bad idea. Replaced so many turbos in that era. I brought an 11 home from work many years...
