Heating is still there but covered with cool weather. :(

I received an LM2 logger yesterday, expect to see some information and pictures tomorrow.. :mrgreen:

I'm still in the process of installing the LM2 Logger.

Until then, here are few pictures of the truck:

Thanks guys ! :mrgreen:

King shocks have some issues. I'm trying to find an alternative solution that will give me a greater downtravel while retaining my up travel.

To do this I need to remove the tires, coils, cycle the suspension and take different measurements to insure that I get the maximum down and uptravel. :geek:

I also have to deal with issues like:

1- Engine issue is still there, I’m working with a programmer to solve the issue.
2- The tires rub the swaybar when turning left.
3- The Driver side door doesn't lock from outside.
4- The A/C blows air upwards, and the heater is not working.
5- The Hardtop is leaking water from few places.
6- Sometimes when starting the truck, lights radio and other stuff won’t work. I need to turn it off/on few times before it does.
7- The gear shifter is too close to the dash. The gear knob rattles all the time.
8- The rear Savvy LED lights need a 4 wire to 3 wire conversion to work.
9- the steering has a "dead spot" that needs to be addressed.
10- screen wipers doesn't work. No cleaning water either.

But first is first, solving the engine issues will take a priority as it is the only thing preventing this truck from hitting the sand. :|

naaice ... yes, yes ... get those 0-2" King OEM replacements :twisted:

btw ... for your LED tail lights ... 4->3 wire conversion is actually just a 3->2 conversion! (reverse/backup stays as is :mrgreen:)

are you using something like this?:

or are you going for a local fab thinggy :? ? (maybe those converters are available here as well??)

I'm still investigating the coil and shocks setup. I need to do some serious calculations before going into it.

I will be doing some home fabrication for the LED lights. oh and yes, It is actually 3 to 2 wire conversion. :)

Sorry for the delay guys,

I was working with a guy called Ryan from Jeepstrokers.com to determine if SCT tuners would work with my Jeep. Unfortunately, it appears that my old bucket is not supported. :(

Therefore, I have to relay again on the FIC 8. :|

I will do the following this weekend:

1- Calibrate the Innovative logger.
2- Get the current FIC 8 Configuration.

Then, I will be tuning my FIC 8 Configuration during my trips from and to work. By the end of next week, It will be determined if the engine will stay or go away. :?

Oh, don't worry, if the stroker didn't work then a 512hp 6.3L v8 would do the job just fine .. :mrgreen:

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

Yes I do, and I would of done it long time ago if not for the regulations and the quality of the local shops. So, No, it is not a v8. RB is going to keep the stroker. :mrgreen:
