Seriously though, looking great man! I hope it is up and running soon......so 30% loss power loss due to tires and gearing? maybe i should stick to 33" as i thought about playing with 35"............

You are not doing much better with your 33" tires .. ;)

I don't have a problem with the engine. I have a problem with feeding and managing the engine ! :lol:

It is a slow discovery process, but I'm getting there. :)

Also, I want to make sure that I have no heating issue before hitting the sand again! :mrgreen:

Hala Osama,

just found another interesting and cheap mod to play with your AFR!
Most likely Dino already "said something" :P

Rust bucket is back in the shop again to do the following:

1- Replace the 3" exhaust with a 2.5" "stock sounding" one with stock headers.. :(
2- Replace the control arms with new Adjustable Control Arms from Currie Enterprises! 8-)
3- Install AEV Tummy Tuck ! :twisted:

The PCM is slowly learning and fixing the knock. I can completely eliminate it with the AEM FIC 8. But I want to avoid that if possible. Hopefully, this process will get faster once the second O2 sensor is installed. :)

:?: by the second O2 sensor you mean downstream? makes only sense if you have a cat!!! (and will do next to nothing for your trim!)
but if you are referring to a second upstream O2 ... this is only possible with Jeeps/PCMs where the 2 piece headers were run! (with the two minicats and one bigger under the body)
Your model/Year pcm supposedly only supports ONE upstream O2 and ONE downstream O2 !!!

Yes I meant the downstream. There is a conflict on how the PCM will react on a missing downstream sensor. Using the OBD II monitor I got, It shows that there is four fuel trims; two for the up stream sensor and two for the downstream. I assume that some Jeeps came with 4 sensors ?? :?:

At any rate, I'm installing a catalyst convertor, so I believe that will need it anyway.
