I was having a intermittent surge or shutdown on freeway today real bad. Jeep threw a code for low voltage tps and loss of crank position sensor signal. Well I swapped cps and problem got worse. Huh? I though this reminds me of how I had to give the distributor a twist to get it to run smooth and it was doing a similar surge/cutout of ignition. So I ground the tab that locks distributor and twisted it another maybe 3/32 of a inch more. And all I can say is wow!!! It set me back in my seat enough that i was impressed.

Now that I got my cam sensor and crank sensor working together no more check engine and jeep has way more power. If you have a aftermarket cam in your stroker you will have to grind distributor tab off and adjust the camshaft sensor. I'm talking to flying Ryan about getting a tune on my motor after the jeep jeep is broke in. Can't wait

Just trying to rack up the miles. Running strong not missed a beat.

Got the Jeep Jeep cleaned up and my boy Moe was enjoying every bit of the sunshine. Damn nice day today.

Got the Jeep Jeep leveled out. Moved the shackle forward two holes and lowered Jeep 1" so I'm at 5.5" lift. Looks as though the front has settled a little bit now too.

This is where JK got stuck. He is running 33" DuraTracks with no lift and he got high centered in the snow.

Also rotated my tires. Then adjusted my shackle angle again after I pulled one of the OME leafs out to lower and level the Jeep Jeep to kill the vibes.

My rig was nose diving and the back would raise under moderate to heavy braking and when cornering would lean like a son of a B. Now it corners flat without the lean and braking and even accelerating the jeep suspension feels right. I still need to put on my control arms and start shopping for track bar.

And to anyone who says you need longer brake lines for 3"+ lift. I'm at 5" now and I relocated mine and I max out suspension before I even get close on brake line. I do plan on getting longer ones in time.

Was a good trip. My jeep threw its belt about 25 min in to trip. Didn't damage it and got it back in and jeep did great. Really gotta bump stop front though. Rubs like a son of a B••••! Added bonus too. I got to take gal out I've been seeing for her first time wheeling and she loved it. She took some great photos. I might have to keep this one lol
