An Alignment is the first place to start. Maine roads beat the crap out of vehicles,I'll bet his has never had one done
Yes...that would be an excessively worn shock or a shock incorrect for the application since the primary function is to absorb uneven pavement / bumps and keep the tire in contact with the road. I was assuming properly functioning shocks...my fault.
Yeah right, they don't do 4 wheel alignment on must every car sold today
According to my MPG instrument cluster readout...I'm not approaching those numbers. I don't know how accurate this indicator is. This is a 2012 with the Pentastar 3.6 and 5 speed auto. I'll have to do a more accurate assessment myself. I was never a fan of diesel...back in the day of the very noisy, stinky diesel but would seriously consider one now after driving a couple more current, quiet and cleaner diesel power plants. They do have swap kits for Chrysler Hemi engines for the Wrangler. With the swap kit and the Hemi installed you'd have a nearly $50.000.00 Wrangler...so probably not for me.
yes they do a thrust alignment on irs cars, however it is almost never out and is mostly a way to sell you on how good they are and get additional revenue. Plus the milage of 87k is the time that shocks typically wear out.
I would guess they would do limited slip electronically at this point. If the ECM senses slip, it kick over to a different fueling table, or applies a variable offset designed to keep the powertrain producing the maximum amount of power before the tires let loose. At least, that's how I'd do it. Tossing an extra table or control loop into a cal is cheaper than actual hardware.
Makes sense that they'd individually brake, rather than selectively cut fuel, with the philosophy ABB mentioned above.
And once you do that, you can work on dropping that crate engine into your Jeep.
I do engine controls, so that's the way I'd do it, I have no interest in getting into full vehicle system controls.Makes sense that they'd individually brake, rather than selectively cut fuel, with the philosophy ABB mentioned above.

No crap. That BA-5/10 (I forget which) would have a very short, very exciting life behind the Cummins.I do engine controls, so that's the way I'd do it, I have no interest in getting into full vehicle system controls.
Yeah, that project has been put on the back burner, all of my spare funds get poured into the house now. I need to find a new transmission before I do anything more. No way am I bolting that Peugeot piece of **** behind a 3.9 liter Cummins.
On the other hand, once you finish the engine swap, you may as well drive it until one of the differentials or the TC breaks, since I suspect those are next up behind a diesel.
