    JKU on Tons

    I decided to do the LS swap. I used the base RPM Extreme kit with a L96 and 6L80. I rebuilt the transmission and upgraded it with a Sonnax valve body kit and clutch pack upgrades. Installed a new Mopar fuel pump assembly while the body was off. The bottom picture shows the radiators. L to R...

    Gas Gauge Not Reading Full

    The TIPM receives a variable reading from the fuel sender depending fuel level. The TIPM calculates the level also using time and vehicle speed. The TIPM sends a CAN signal to the gauge cluster for it to display the correct level. I replaced a defective sender in a Dodge pickup that would...

    392 Cooling System

    So far so good on the 392 radiator keeping the LS cool with only the JK fan rigged in for temporary use. The 392 fan is on national backorder. I wasted money by ordering the cooling package since I didn't use the condenser.

    Did you get the issue solved? My Jk LS swap has the same problem.

    392 Cooling System

    The 392 radiator has 84 tubes and the JK radiator has 60. Less coolant volume through the 392 tubes since they are thinner. Maybe that is how they are gaining heat transfer in the small size.

    392 Cooling System

    I don't see how the small 392 radiator can keep the engine from overheating. It is the same thickness as the 3.8 JK radiator, same width and slightly shorter. They both have a single tube design that is approx. 1" wide. The 392 radiator does have a tube spacing of approximately .235 and the JK...

    392 Cooling System

    Fingers crossed. I ordered from another site at a slightly higher price and got a reply that it is on order from the factory.

    Just now got an email stating order is cancelled due to availability.

    392 Cooling System

    I ordered it and will see if I can make most of it work with my JKU LS swap. I should be able to sell it at a loss if it doesn't work.

    392 Cooling System

    Has anyone got a good look at the factory 392 cooling system. It appears to have an oil cooler and an auxiliary radiator. 68481138AB is the entire cooling unit and it is under $600. The radiator is around $150. The online Mopar part sites don't have very good detail on the auxiliary radiator or...

    LS swap gremlins

    I would request a schematic and make sure that all of the A/C wires go to the correct locations on the connectors on the new harness also. Especially the under dash harness. It is possible that a mistake was made during the harness assembly.

    LS swap gremlins

    Is the scan tool turning on the compressor through the GM side only? I would make sure the solder connections have been double checked that tie the Jeep harness to the new harness. Then make sure every crimp connection is tight on the A/C wiring and all grounds on the new harness. If all that is...

    Auto Insurance for Mods or Modifications - Extra Insurance

    My regular insurance company didn't offer anything to cover modified vehicles. I got Stated Value policies on my Cummins powered K30 and my F750 hauler from Progressive. My wife's cousin lost thousands when his customized Chevy pickup was stolen and he had normal full coverage insurance.

    Dealing with Covid

    Praying for you and your wife. My wife and I also have Covid now but it hasn't been severe. We are triple vaxed but also took some Ivermectin when we first got sick. There is a massive outbreak in our town.

    Tow rigs

    It was originally a 12' LQ with a wet bath. It is now 14' with a larger dry bath and a closet. Vintage sells them in 12', 14', and 16' LQ.

    Tow rigs

    I like it better than the previous one with home made LQ. The 7'6" height is much better than the 6'6" of my previous one. I had to haul the buggy with one front tire on the floor and the other over the fender with the added platform. No way a taller rig would fit without installing smaller...

    Tow rigs

    My tow rig for 10 years. 1986 K30 with a 12 valve Cummins and NV4500. I boxed the frame when I built it. It did great towing the 38' trailer with home built living quarters. I still have the K30 but I found a 2009 F750 standard cab grapple truck that had been rolled. 6.7 Cummins, 3500 series...

    392 Radiator

    I wonder if the Camaro radiator can be adapted to fit since the fan works and is the correct size. I am thinking about trying one with my L96 swap. Making mounts shouldn't be a big deal and the fan will be a direct fit.
