My design on my triple efan radiator shroud.
It will attach to the radiator via existing bolts on the top and isolator mounts on the bottom

That's super cool! If u ever wanna make some cash for fabing another up just pm me ur price. I don't have the tools, materials or experience. It would be great to have something that just bolts on for a reasonable price!

We'll see, depends on how easy it goes for me.
I'm not the greatest of fabricators, but I do have some skills.
(thats skills with an s, not a z. LOL)

I'm just wondering about getting the holes cut decent.
-will probably wait and cut them out using the fans I want to use as templates to make it custom fitted, instead of having open gaps around the fan.

I will definitely keep you posted!

Default cruise rpm rev up issue?

So when driving on the highway with cruise control on/set my RPMs will rev up approx 100-200 very little, its normally running about 2000 rpm.

It only seems to do it for a few seconds, then returns to normal.

I replaced the TPS last year, is it possible this has gone bad already?

This is a recent issue it has not been a problem before.

I honestly have no idea what it could be, I hate to replace a sensor if its not gonna fix the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks

With cruise on, it'll adjust your RPM to maintain a certain speed

This was randomly reving up while driving on hwy 14W - no hills, level roads.
only revd about 100-200 rpms that was what i thought was weird


I found out I had a bad connection at my TPS.
I cleaned the connector and applied liberal amounts of dielectric grease to keep away any moisture.

Haven't noticed any issues yet.

Fingers crossed.

It sounds like a TCC could also be failing

After reading your suggestion, I did some research and of course the TCC failing does explain so shifting issues I have been having.

Also a bit sluggish on acceleration.

I will probably get to replacing all 3 of the solenoids sometime in the spring or once it gets warmer.

Thanks again JPXJMOAB for helping!
I will have to stop by Adamson Motors one day after work to show off abit - LOL

Default lunch break smiles

Went out to my Jeep to go for lunch today and found a note under my wiper blade.

Had to laugh, its great to know there are others out there that are also in love with Dat Jeep.

And the answer is still no, I'm sorry to say, but I am not interested in selling Dat Jeep in the near future.

I just love it too much.

Default Relay fuse box


I have mine wired up to the 8 MAXI fuses and 8 SPST 30amp relays.
This will be used on my second battery and run all my accessories.
(any lights, winch, etc)












Next up I get to trace some wiring gremlins I have been having
