  1. What are the Pros vs Cons of an oil change early?

    Like most iOLM (intelligent oil life monitoring) systems it uses an algorithm taking data points from a number of sensors and operating conditions to determine when the oil should be changed. Sounds like it should work well and in many cases it does, but I have seen more than once the iOLM say...
  2. What are the Pros vs Cons of an oil change early?

    Agree to a point, but Ecoboost engines are Direct Injected so they are going to suffer from fuel dilution regardless and it will "always" be an issue. With that said, it also does not help the situation when a new owner waits 5K miles (or longer) to change the oil for the first time. What would...
  3. What are the Pros vs Cons of an oil change early?

    Here are some data points from the UOA that I did on the first oil change in my Wildtrak. This was 1,000 miles--ALL highway and not hammering it. I drive very conservatively for the first 1K miles to allow for a proper break-in. In 1,000 miles the viscosity had dropped from a 5W-30 to an xW-20...
  4. Change Driveline Fluids Early!

    Just a few days from time I ordered, but I believe it shipped from Denver and I'm in Colorado Springs.
  5. Change Driveline Fluids Early!

    Ah, gotcha. Unless they changed the 8.8, there should be a pretty strong aftermarket for them. The Dana 44 under the Bronco is the same as the Wrangler so there should be some options.
  6. Feedback on ZRoadz light bar?

    @4x4TruckLEDs.com - this one may be for you. @ZROADZOFFICIAL - I cancelled my order because I want a lower profile lighting system.
  7. Change Driveline Fluids Early!

    It is inferior from my point of view. It requires sealer that is messy to clean up. The OEM gasket can be reused many times before replacement is needed with no cleanup. Also, I could find no replacement for the gasket included with the cover which means back to the OEM at some point anyway.
  8. Feedback on ZRoadz light bar?

    I cancelled my order and am going with the Baja Designs 6XL Linkable Bumper Light System. I was going with BD for the lights anyway (on the ZRoadz bar) and really like the low profile of the bumper attached system. The bar mounted lights tend to block airflow and I did not want to have that...
  9. 10R60 - Total Fluid Capacity vs. Amount Dumped With Filter Change?

    I am about to find out this coming weekend when I install the new PPE deep pan and change the filter/fluid.

    Sent you a PM. Thanks @604Bronco for the help and allowing me to step into your build thread!
  11. Change Driveline Fluids Early!

    Yeah, I had to play with the length of the tube a bit to find the sweet spot. I used regular quart bottles, and it was more difficult to squeeze them versus orientation.
  12. Change Driveline Fluids Early!

    Grab one of these for next time and it will be an easy and clean filling process. I cut about 6" off the tube and it made the job a snap. https://www.amazon.com/Hopkins-10106B-FloTool-Filler-Refill/dp/B000EH4UXM
  13. 604Bronco’s Build Journal

    I had BD on my Wrangler and even though they were the Sport models (XL on the cowl and standard on the light bar), these things would light up the night and made driving the backroads so much safer. I cannot imagine how bright 6 of the XL models must be. Thanks for the information. I am...
  14. 604Bronco’s Build Journal

    I poked around a bit on the Baja Designs website, but was wondering, for the XL bumper light bar, were there options for the XL light shape? BD makes a round XL and a rounded corner square model (that you have). I wanted to go round to be symmetrical to the headlights. On another note, how do...

  16. Feedback on ZRoadz light bar?

    Anyone using the ZRoadz LED light bar on their modular bumper and provide feedback on how well it is made and how it's holding up? It appears to be well made, but wanted to see if it actually is.

  18. Change Driveline Fluids Early!

    Awesome sauce! The OEM gaskets are quite forgiving of subtle differences in the gasket face between the axle and the cover. The Wrangler has the same rear axle under it and uses the same gasket. I reused mine 10 times before replacing it and it was not leaking when I did. Glad you were able to...
