Jeep Performance Improvement Ideas
Our race at AMP was cut short due to a sudden loss of oil pressure. We tried to diagnose at the track, but the crack pulley was tight and the oil level was correct so we knew a removal and disassembly was next on the diagnostic list.
Back in the shop, I pulled the engine and dropped the oil pan. Inside, where it should not be, was part of the oil pick up tube. The remainder was still bolted to the block.
As the days get shorter and I drive more in the dark, I have been noticing that my LED headlights have been flickering a bit lately. Today they suddenly went out completely!
We raced at our favorite local track Atlanta Motorsports Park. We were pitted next to three other 944s. This made it fun to compare notes on the different builds.
For a while now, my 1988 Jeep Cherokee XJ has had a clunk sound that can be felt on the floor whenever I go form stopping to going. It is especially bad when swapping from reverse to forward. I removed a control arm bolt and found the mounting holes in the axle were oval-shaped.
I got my F250 so I could carry larger cargo such as fuel drums. However, with the standard cab I have limited luggage space.
So, I got a roll-up bed cover. This allows me to cover the bed when I need it covered and easily open it up when I need to haul fuel drums or other large items.
I got this one from Amazon: https://amzn.to/2MxHNtn
