... one time, in band camp,....

If you have checked the voltage on the protected side of the fuses, then crawl under the truck and unplug the harness connector that hangs behind the rear bumper, above the hitch receiver. See if the supply connector has power, brake light voltage, etc. there are a few stories about the...

That report was specific to modern, injected engines, and used current data from the OEMs. It was not about carbureted engines. Somebody asked for scientific evidence, not hearsay. There are any number of those out there. Any one individual’s experience is hearsay. Believe what you will...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Jan 2016 ”...idling can actually be damaging to an engine and vehicle components. This is because idling can produce sulfuric acid, which can eat away at the engine and other components. Additionally, idling results in lower in- cylinder temperatures combustion...

Right. I’m sure there’s more too it, but like you, observed behavior for my driving (including towing) is linear. That said, I’m going to try the Wix 51372XP filter, which is the same height, thread and gasket, but larger diameter than stock. Higher flow and psi ratings, and the filter...

Did my first at 2500, then every 7500 after that. For me, the oil life indicator tracks the odometer, aiming for a 10k change.

It’s a good idea, but the truck doesn’t need to be running.

The trailer brake harness should have power and brake light signal without having the OEM trailer brake controller enabled. I’ve rented these trucks and installed my Curt Spectrum controller w/o issue. Also, the 30a fuse is not the one that powers the controller, but I’m not sure which one does.

“Hydraulic“ brakes (not “hydraulic over electric”) are a form of surge brake. My guess is that’s how the brakes are working without a brake controller. With an empty boat trailer, folks often release the brakes. Sometimes the release is a pin you insert, some have a half-turn dial, some have...

You and the empty trailer max out this truck. Add people, gear and a side-by, and you are over by a lot.

Some states don’t let tow dollys on certain roads... Also have to make sure you can flat tow without damage. I don’t know about JKs, but I do know a lot of auto-trans cars have engine-driven trans fluid pumps, and so cannot be flat towed. Lighter trailer is moving in the right direction...

BTW, what a nice rig, and perfectly set up! Pretty!

That’s a good list. Def overbuilt, high safety margin. Have the same crimper, does work well. Also consider marine cartridge fuses like this can mount right on the post clamp bolt - one less wire. Also, 2/0 would work fine, and is so much easier to work with (not that it’s easy). Our truck...

If you went to jack mode from normal, when you turn jack mode off, the truck will try to raise to Normal ride height. It may try and reach max pressure before getting up to Normal. You can then set Aero, and see if you get an message. I don’t think you’ll have any issue, until your three pax...

I hear ya - the thought was to be thoughtful about the position of the Jeep. Moving 200# from tongue to trailer axles, is likely a few inches of load adjustment. Should be able to achieve 10-12% tongue without noticeably increasing sway.

The air ride helps level, but it’s the WDH that makes sure there’s enough weight transferred to the front wheels. I don’t have a ProPride, but would assume you can adjust it to maximize weight distributio. Put the truck in Normal Ride height, then Disable the air ride (jack mode), measure the...

If your tongue load is 1200, and your in-truck payload is 800#, your a good bit over. But you may be able to work the Jeep position to control trailer tongue to make it work. Just remember, the brakes are probably where you are pushing it the hardest. Be sure the trailer brakes are working -...

If I had to do this, I would use a tongue scale (like a Sherline), and the fact that the position of the Jeep on the trailer impacts the tongue weight, to keep the tongue under 1200lbs. And only carry in The truck what must be in the truck. Put As much the weight as possible over (not behind)...

THats good info from their website. In my experience, sensors like this (amd/or, the programs that use their data) compensate for numerous factors, including unmonitored loads. Depending on the controlled function, they often more heavily weight ongoing battery response data (eg V/A, SoF) than...

I suspect you presume too much of the IBS. Yes, the IBS relays state of charge to the ECU, but it doesn’t watch amp-hours come and go, it watches the battery voltage in response to load. For example, low voltage and rapid decrease of voltage in response to a relatively small load, would update...
