The Return of BIGGER Black

How much space you need to clear the diff cover?
May be clamp with just the bolt going straight into it will work.
That might work actually, talked to Jeremy this am and gonna try rotating clamp down first, then diff cover if it still doesn't clear, then we’ll see where we stand, maybe change clamp after that.
 
Alright, back in the ground and rolling, think I got just about all the air out of it, felt great on the test drive, was pretty wild how responsive it is compared to how it was. I am running into a bit of a steering range issue, with how the attachment on the tie rod wants to sit, it hits the diff cover, I tried rotating it up but then the ram contacts the underside of the track bar bracket when turning passenger, so for now I have the steering bumps out and it leaves me about one inch of ram cycle on each end, which I really don’t like the feeling as I know it’s still pushing and you can feel it pushing but you barely feel it reach its end point.

I’m curious what you all would recommend, I’ll try to get a better pic tomorrow, but it’s pretty solid contact on the diff cover if I let it go that far. Was thinking I could go back to factory diff cover and see, or maybe a different tie rod clamp, also I’ve remembered reading about caster on here and Psc but not sure, so curious of any thoughts around caster in general or if it would help alleviate this issue and use the majority of my range. Pics don’t show the contact but just the set up. View attachment 432489View attachment 432490View attachment 432491View attachment 432492
nice work!
Does the Revolution diff cover you have stick out further than the stock cover?
 
Noticed an interesting sound yesterday and confirmed this am when I started my jeep, I think it’s coming from my PSC Steering Pump or box, but it’s a fairly loud “burp” sound, almost like an arb compressor running, was Loud for about 2 seconds and then faded over the next 3-5 seconds, I realized I have heard this before about 3 weeks ago and I thought my air compressor switch was tripped in the back, but that time was a very quick came and gone sound.

It’s 18 degrees this am and I usually remote start so haven't heard it, so not sure how long it’s been going on. I heard it yesterday at cold start and then It’s was totally fine and quiet for the rest of the day on restarts and drove fine, confirmed the sound this am with the cold start. I’ll probably text you @Disciple Off Road this am but figured someone here may have heard/seen this before, do I have air trapped in my pump? Am I maybe sucking air in only when it’s cold?

I would say my pump sounds fine after this noise dissipates but idk, sometime I can hear it quietly “circulating” but nothing loud or squeeling, and nothing that has really changed, Only thing I didn’t check this am was if the reservoir was low after sitting all night, but it nice and full now and yesterday when it was warm. Im pretty confident the sound is coming from the driver side. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Definitely check the reservoir. Fluid should be sitting just above the plate. I assume you have the re-breather on it too? If so, I would check it to make sure it's still mounted properly, top on and without any pinches in the line
Reservoir was full, about and inch from top after the jeep was warm, I’ll check tomorrow when it’s cold again, should there be much fluctuations when it’s cold/warm with fluid? I assume it’s expands when hotter.

I’ll definitely check my re-breather too and make sure it’s good.

is there an inline cooler? how's it mounted?
 
is it a single pass or dual pass?

I have the dual pass on my JKU, but your description sounds similar, loosen the cooler and get the end that flows back into the reservoir higher than the inlet, and do the bleed process.

This should burp the air that can get trapped in the cooler
I’ll have to check and see if it’s dual or single, not sure, but I’ll definitely give that a try
