This is pretty handy. I’ve often wondered what I would do if a valve stem broke. Well change the tire, but this would be much simpler and still keep my spare available. Bookmarking this page to order a set in the near future.

There are 4 of them. Well at lease I count each as a cat, maybe the pair in each side is one. I am not sure why the difference is between a CARB certified cat and typical cat.

I am sure he could have, but in CA we have special rules and replacement cat’s have to be CARB certified (not sure exactly what the difference is, other then cost) and they have to have the executive order (EO) engraved on the cat’s. By law the inspection place is supposed to check and if the...

@BLACKJKU well they better be! Cost the poor kid $2,600 for CA CARB compliant cat’s. They said OEM replacement, have the EO number stamped / engraved on them. He also bought all four new o2 sensors to install. He took time off Labor Day weekend, so we will install them then. Actually...

So in case anyone else sees and and has the same question, I decided to go look up the part my son ordered and per their information an inlet gasket is not required. I am not sure if it varies by mfr or not.

Thank you for the update. Glad it is resolved for you.

Not sure about the 35” and impact to the Jack. But the 2.5” lift doesn’t have an impact, unless not jacking up at the axle. I guess I figure even I have to call for help at least I still have the tire to change out. We have a Smart which has different tire sizes between the front and rear...

I suppose you have a point there, I’ll need to rethink it 🧐

Guess I’m old school, but I want a spare. For rear view have a Wolfbox rear view camera mirror installed, works great. Probably the same thing @Dirty Dog linked too.

@dirtydog sorry to hear the news, but sound like overall you are doing well which is good to hear. It’s odd there are people on here and though I’ll probably never meet any of you just come to recognize some as regulars and then no postings and wonder where they went. This forum is much...

He ordered them from RockAuto.com. I did’t see any donuts in the kit, just the cat’s and pipe and a couple of clamps.

What happened to @Dirty Dog ? I don’t think I’ve seen a post from him in a while?

Okay @BLACKJKU verdict is in. Service contract has agreed to pay the repairs, which are just under 5K, includes all new 4 camshafts, all new lifters, they also found the oil housing starting to leak so it’s being replaced with an upgrade aluminum one (I didn’t ask what brand). There are a...

I just ordered some from Extreme Terrain and are working fine.

Thank you for the info, that is a good description as it sort of does look like a donut, just a lager hole 😂.

We’ve been happy with ours overall. The adjusting cam bolt is sort of pain to adjust. The assembly was a pain in the butt, terrible directions! I am glad I found a YouTube video someone posted. The latch is a little tricky and sometimes have to push on the top of the tire to get the latch...

My son has 07, 3.8L and finally ordered replacement cat’s. The parts go from the exhaust manifold to the about mid point back. From what I can tell the system simply bolts up to the exhaust manifold. On other vehicles they have had some sort of “gasket ring” where the exhaust mounts to the...

Not yet. It is scheduled to go back in tomorrow morning for the removal of the valve cover to diagnose the actual problem. I’ll post once I find out the scoop 😃

So the first response was “let it ride and see what happens, not sure worth the cost to chase it down at this point”. I replied “Well maybe I’d be okay with that if it wasn’t for the extended service contract expiring in September and an engine shouldn’t make a ticking noise”. They replied “We...

So my Jeep’s battery decided to die. So put in a new battery today. With the aftermarket lights, GMRS radio, winches etc, took a lot longer then it needed to be as had to disconnect most of them from the terminals and of course I didn’t want to do spent extra time trying not to when it would...
