Just got my cable installed the other day and went thru the firewall differently. I have dual alternators with 380A output and it works great at idle for me and put out the full 800W to my Delta2 with no issues. Will post out a video in a week or so. Definitely better than the 100W out from the cigarette lighter adapter.

We are leaving for Colorado next week for 10 days. We will be doing follow up on it when we get back. Our cigarette lighters have caused us issues with the connections and not having our first gen delta not charge for hours at a time. Excited to see if connections work good out in the wild with this

We have discussed lockers but we aren’t going into the diffs to only put lockers. The gladiator needs new gearing as well for the larger tires, but we don’t want to put 5.38 gears in the factory diffs either. So that is why it still doesn’t have lockers

How do you fix caster on a brand new stock Jeep with death wobble?
@tomking5822Ай бұрын
@DirtRockTeam replace the caster bushings with 3.5 degree positive bushings you can get the from Napa, check any front end parts first also tires and track bar bushings the positive camber will re-enter the steering wheel faster after turns also make the center axis of the front wheels more forward like they were before engineers ,you will then have to get the front end aligned changed them

What type of preventative maintenance are you doing for the 6.4 hemi to keep it from not knocking ? (Hellcat oil pump ? Any tips or advice to keep it running longer (how many miles you got on yours?
@DirtRockTeam2 ай бұрын
That’s a great question. Sadly we haven’t done any “preventative” maintenance outside of using mobile 1 oil with K&N oil filters and doing the oil changes at 5,000. We have owned 3 vehicles with 6.4s, the challenger was sold 2 years ago and then we turned around and threw a 6.4 non MDS motor in the white wrangler. The problem is we didn’t know there was any steps one could take to help alleviate the infamous Hemi lifter tick util the Hemi swap was almost complete on the wrangler. When the tick comes about we will have to do the whole repair as well as upgrading the oil pumps. Melling makes an even higher pressure oil pump over the factory hellcat oil pump for the Hemis. The lack of overall oil pressure long term is what is the main issue causing the lifter failure. The power wagon has 50,990 miles on it and the 6.4 in the wrangler has 20,000 The best advice I heard was to not let the Hemis idle for too long. Anytime we are the trails and we are going to be sitting for longer than 5 minutes the vehicle gets shut off. Using a quality brand oil & oil filter like mobile 1. And not letting the intervals on the oil changes go to far past where it should be changed. Otherwise it is just a matter of time before it happens on every Hemi

Not sure what happened with yours. I have a set in my XJ. It is a much lighter axle; but the idea is the same. I did notice when I installed the deletes, I had to go beyond the recommended torque specs to effectively start/seat the ny-lock nuts. The initial preload of 30 ft-lbs did not fully seat the nut as the nylon provided more than 30 ft-lbs of resistance. Once they were driven down and seated, no problem. I've checked them a few times, and they seem to be staying put. Also, they say that you can use thread locker in conjunction. Not defending the deletes, just want to understand your experience.
@DirtRockTeam2 ай бұрын
Most of my problems with them probably is from the front axle I have. It’s a fusion 60/44 hybrid so everything from the inner Cs to the center section is actually a 60. Even the RCVs are custom for this axle. The inner Cs are 44 sized for the balljoints but are much thicker overall. We had a hard time getting the deletes installed because of how much thicker the inner Cs actually are
@Brian_C_2 ай бұрын
@@DirtRockTeam Was wondering about that. I see clearly that it's a Dana 60 housing, but the inner-Cs are different and you've got the control arm mounting point on top of the carrier. Most 1-Ton swaps I've seen use a truss for the control arms and they usually have to go with the outboard components from something that will fit the donor. I guess with the D44 inner-C and custom RCVs, you can keep your factory knuckles, bearings, brakes, etc. The Inner-C/Ball joint was the weak point for me. I don't do any crazy wheeling, but the rocks and rough trails out west wear stuff out fast. I got tired of replacing ball joints every 2 years - not to mention there are a finite number of times you can do that before the C's are done. Hope the swap back to ball joints works out!
