Whats the advantage of running the shocks inverted like that? My zone shocks mount with the piston up top and the body/tube on the bottom...

 

The shocks i have are gas charged so it doesn't matter which way they are ran. I like the logo up so I made it that way. Others like it opposite. Some shocks require a certain direction.

 

Thanks for the ideas eorose. I thinks it's the alternator also. It's stock. Time for an upgrade.

 

I believe I found the short. CB radio was draining battery. In other news it's still winter

 

 

Ya lets hope. Not in mood to buy new alternator right now.

 

I think I got a rebuilt one from Advance for about $70 and it's been going strong for about 10 months now. It's not too terrible and the install is about an hour, only cause you have to release the belt. Install of the actual alternator is about 20 min. If you have access to a pneumantic socket wrench, it makes it SOOOOOOO much faster.

 

Good to know.


Well it's not fixed like I had hoped

 

your alternator is externally regulated. get your old one bench tested before you put a new one in.

 

I will. But I don't think it's the alternator. When I drive it daily its fine. When it sits it drains. Something is draining it.

 

Hit the trails today. Shocks were great. Not amazing but great. Jeep ran good. Did a huge hill climb and coming back down the brakes were smoking hot! Alternator seems fine. Pretty sure it's a short somewhere.
