I have not but, referring to notes I see that the pipe #55277 is one without the 'dent' and is listed as "no federal emissions".

Osphro is less than 1/2 the price and does the exact same thing as POR15. You can get gallon jugs at Ace hardware for around $20 iirc.
Just dont get too much on your skin or any part of the jeep you dont want to get eaten by Phosphoric acid. Lol

Seriously, we know nothing about your jeep or driving habits. Go to an autozone and have them read it and post the numbers here. The we can help you

That would be because the PCM detected a fault and turned on the check engine light. There's a trouble code waiting for you if you hook it up to a scanner.

Ok, so now that I have a welder, and a DD car, I'm going to be doing things to make it more trailworthy and not be worried so much about commutability (sure, I guess that's a word).

I want to do something with the rearend, but I don't want to waste any money on my D35. I have 235/75's on it now, so I'm thinking about welding the spider gears in the diff.

Is this something that would be possible with a flex-core welder, and if so, would it be something a beginner welder should attempt?

I know it's gonna chew up my tires, and it's not going to turn as easy anymore... being as I don't have 4wd, would this even be a good idea - I mean am I gonna be on the trails and not be able to turn at all because of the lack of front wheel drive?

have you heard my power steering right now noise wouldnt be the issue the fact that it stops working right now and it cant turn sometimes is a bigger issue.

I've been looking at getting that one as a beginner for a little while now. Let us know what you think of it.

I have never welded spider gears, but if I ever was to try, it wouldn't be with a flux core welder. Leaves to much slag, and if you don't get it ALL cleaned off and it come loose later, it's running through your rear and bearings......RR
