Re: New Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon

The lockers and the sway bars work well and you can control them when your in 2wd,4wd,high or low range. Unless they are aftermarket, that is incorrect. Swaybar release only works in 4H and 4L and rear locker only activates in 4L. Its a diesel wrangler unlimited (not rubicon) and it has the offroad ...

Thanks guys, it starts with no problems at all but when cold it just rattles the car to bits, when warm its alot better but still shakes the mirrors that much at idle you cant see in them haha, my idle is set to 750.

Ill try tightening it a bit more, if not ill see how much a lift pump is, thanks.

Ok so last weekend I did a service on the lux, I changed the oil, oil filter, cleaned k&n air filter, changed fuel filter, and then bled the fuel system with the primer and cracking each injector and then straight after that the idle was perfect. But because the lux isnt my daily driver anymore, I ...

2.8 litre diesel rough idle

Just wondering what could cause a rough idle or common problems with the 3L engine at idle. Mine has brand new engine mounts and transfer case mount. I've got my idle set to about 750rpm, because that's where it is the least rough, but it still seems vibrate the car heaps bad. What are these engines ...

Well lucky for the warrenty I get a new set today, I couldn't believe how quick it took for them to bend, they said it was a bad batch of springs and a couple people have returned them. I'm going to sell the new set, I wouldn't run efs again but that's my bad experience

Unless the shifter has allready been bent to suit the body lift there is no reason to bend it. If its a standard stick they should not hit each other. I think you will find you put the stick in back the front. I pulled out the gear stick today and checked if i put it in back to front but its ...
