Personally I like the Detroit locker. Got one on my Chevy K30 and just picked one up for my D44 on the MJ. Haven't used a lunchbox locker in the rear, have heard conflicting things about driveability. I would however suggest a Spartan over an Aussie if you do go that way. They're a little heavier built and as cheap as $250 new. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

I meant for mpg differences. I know he's been pretty good at calculating hp/tq numbers overt the years [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Yah, but I'm too lazy to remember how to do that. So I use this app.... it's dead simple. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Yeah I saw you and minute up there.... damn y'all must have had leaks in your gas tanks back then, huh? [emoji38] Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

"The only known truck in this paint scheme...." 🤣🤣🤣 Damn, if it wasn't for huck with his 21mpg average you and gogo woulda had the worst mpg by year. Would you mind throwing your next a few tanks up there? If its different now because the truck is healthier, I think it would be good to see. P.S. use the app "fuelly fuel up" to text it in, much easier than the website Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

I use gas buddy to find cheap gas, didn't know they tracked mileage as well. Can you search other vehicles similar to fuelly, or is it just for yourself? Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

I use an app called "fuelly fuel up" that texts in the info. So basically, as soon as I'm done at the pump, I log it. No more saving receipts. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

If you can, track all the mods in excel or something. I'm curious as to what, if any, effect they will have. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Yeah, it can but you can't stop or you'll stall the engine. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

I've got a set of 4.10 for my Dana 44 and a Detroit locker. Now just waiting to find a deal on a carrier for my D30 up front. I would think with the higher gear ratio I would lose mpg, not gain them. It's not like the motor lugs about currently during daily driving. Hornbrod: Earlier I was referring to my truck being similar to Crash's. Both 4.0 (renix vs HO), very similar setups apart from the gearing. Yet he's seen 28mpg when I've only seen 19.5 once.... going downhill. I know you're a whole different animal with the stroker and auto plus gearing differences. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

100% advise against it. I had hell getting mine to bleed/act right after the swap. After 2 weeks of fooling with it after work, I just bought the '94 slave/master pre-bled combo. Not that much more expensive and much easier to do. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

On another thread some questions are being asked about fuel mileage differences. Does anyone else here track every tank of fuel with fuelly or another app/website? Fuelly.com has 32 Jeep Comanches on it, there have to be some of y'all here too. http://www.fuelly.com/car/jeep/comanche My 92 has a 7-8% error because of my tires. I'm seeing right at 17.6 mpg according to my GPS, you can see in my fuel log last year in June when I changed tires it dropped from 18s to 16s. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

My 92 has the HO motor, upgraded intake (took a hit on mpg with that), injectors, 3.5"lift, 3.07 gears, and 31" AT tires; in other words, very similar. I would love to see those numbers....I always wonder what causes the difference between machines that seem so similar. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Any excuse to show off the cleanest engine bay on the site, huh? [emoji38] I believe the ram air effect would be negligible, watch your AF ratio to tell for sure. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Horn, if you always use that station at home maybe try a different one for a few tanks before your next trip (like Racetrac) and try to stick to that during the trip as well. That's gonna give you the closest thing to the same fuel for both types of driving, but I don't believe this is the cause of the difference just be interesting to look at. With the increased power of the stroker motor, should the shifting of the transmission have been adjusted? For example, perhaps your engine is revving much higher than necessary or shifting too soon. A slipping transmission or one that "hunts" for the right gear constantly can kill your gas mileage. A good example would be the 6cyl autos of the 60s and 70s. Conversely, once you got up to speed with the auto, it wouldn't be shifting anymore and your mileage would improve drastically. Just a hypothesis, consult an expert before acting on this.

Following a semi can make a huge difference but is dangerous and illegal in most (if not all) states. I averaged 29 mpg in my old 05 Canyon doing this for a tank between Ga and Texas instead of 20-21. My 92 MJ gets about 15-16 mpg around town and 17ish mpg on the hwy doing 65-70mph. I use my GPS to track my mileage since my odometer is off. Still don't know how such a big difference in hornbrod's mileage happens though.... unless he tailgated like this to "hypermile" on the trip to Florida. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Yup. I just snugged mine up, maybe 7-10 ft-lbs. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Damn, you sure on the 21mpg? I don't get that with my nearly stock 4.0 and AX-15. Have you tried tracking mileage in town while in Florida? I don't think it would account for a nearly 10 mpg difference, but I know Alabama gas gives me worse mileage than anywhere else. Mississippi is the best...I assume the blend is different. Also, is your auto transmission stock? If there was any issue with it, it could account for some loss of mpg. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Called and talked to Adam at RockKrawler. These springs are spec'd like this, I think this should give me exactly what I'm looking for as long as the height is right. 23" free length 8.01" compressed (solid) 135 lbs 165 lbs 220 lbs Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

From what I know (mostly fast cars) progressive springs give you a smoother ride on the road without compromising performance characteristics. Wouldn't this apply here too? Good handling on the road but still flexible off? Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Sorry if this has been covered.... tapatalk's search function is terrible Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Has anyone here used a progressive rate spring for their lift? I'm looking to go SOA in the rear and something like this up front: http://www.rockkrawler.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=RK02003 Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

honestly..... didn't check it and I knew I should have while I was there. Was interrupted several times and plain forgot. Would it produce the same noise as a bad wheel bearing? Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Welp.... I'm in a pickle. What sounds like a bad wheel bearing, acts like a bad wheel bearing, but ain't a wheel bearing? Replaced DS hub assembly (timken, only $62 off Amazon). Noise is still there, still goes away when turning left. Swapped tires, no change. Also found the "rattle" in my front left wheel... One of my brake caliper bolts fell out!

had a job when I bought the truck (and half the stuff on it). Currently volunteering with AmeriCorps and living on $1000/mo until January when my term ends and I can go back to engineering. Even if I do get a catastrophic failure..... it's a jeep. It can be rebuilt. [emoji2] Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk
