They must've gotten it figured out for now, as I saw you driving this yesterday.
K-5, running really good, shifting great, this thing must have a pretty decent HP rating, because it goes far better with 3.73's and 35's than any Jeep I've driven with stock to 31's and 3.73's. I'm debating on redoing the dash after we move. I'm sick of the speedo being inop, and having five different styles of guages, including a tach that is on the bottom of the dash, near the cig lighter. Hopefully the donor truck's axles will start going into this thing really soon. I'm itching to get this trimmed up correctly to run the 37's and get another trail ride or two in before it gets shipped.
Burb, dead at the moment thanks to Napa throttle cables that don't work. The company that manufacturers this for them puts a clamp on the cable for no reason and it causes the truck to run around 1200 rpm's at idle. You can put the cable in the bracket a bit differently to keep the idle low, but you loose quite a bit of WOT and it makes setting the TV (kickdown) cable difficult . I ordered the cable from a source other than Napa or Shucks and we'll see if it works better. Should be here by Thursday or Friday.
Montana, wife said the brakes scared the crap out of her last night, so I guess I have a brake job to do this evening after the kids go to sleep.
