Anybody know anything about the PCMs on our Jeeps?
When I turn off the engine, i get a clicking noise under the hood. I also have a check engine light on. The clicking continues, stops, restarts, very erratic. Sounds like a time bomb or a starter.
When I pull off the fuse box lid, I can feel the K5 PCM RLY fuse clicking. Pull it out and it stops. WTF?

The Alabama DamnLocals are going to do a clean up ride at Iron Gap. We are meeting at the Keith Springs community center at 9am 24th of Mar I think another group (RCRC) are coming in Estill Fork. Just trying to pick up to help keep the trails open to enjoy.

$22 to fix my TIPM. Extended warranty company going to pay for it. :bounce: On backorder though. May not be fixed by the 16th.
Wont pay for the bent track bar, bracket and steering stabilizer.
Does anyone have a stock trackbar laying around they can sell?
Nothing is really set in stone yet. Probably try to meet up somewhere on 72 in Madison, kinda early Sat. morning. Say, maybe 6:30~6:45, @ Chick-fil-a across from Lowe's? I don't have a local head-count of who is going yet :cwm13:
Will see.
They are going to weld plates on either side of the trackbar bracket to reinforce it with new holes. I ordered a new trackbar from Rustys and a steering stabilizer from Rough Country. The mechanic recommended I stay away from Rough Country track bars as he has seen the bend. Believe it or not, he even told me to stay away from Teraflex. His money was on Rubicon Express or Rustys.
The mechanic, Allen, has a lot of Jeep and offroad knowledge which was good to hear. You dont usually get that at a dealer. I asked him about the auto trans cooler and he recommended adding an additional cooler. Says he has seen several autos overheat when crawling.
Dont know if Ill be back on the road by Saturday. They have a rush on the TIPM, everything else will be fixed.
BTW, he had nothing good to say about the stock BF Goodrich ATs that Chrysler puts on the Jeeps. He sees them cup frequently.
You are welcome to join us! I will be taking it easy (for the most part), since I haven't been to HP yet. So, I don't know the trails yet. I usually wait until my second or third trip somewhere, before trying to break stuff ...........
FYI I talked to Frankie last night who is good friends with the Hawk Pride owners. Frankie seemed to think that the park was going to be closed this weekend. Yall might want to get on the phone and call before yall head over there.
Not sure where the disconnect is here.............
I talked to Frankie. He was told that the park wasn't open.........
Looking at the HP website, their calendar shows it is an "Open Offroad" weekend............
Waiting to hear back from the MS crew, as to if they have reserved the park or not..........
If I don't hear back from the MS guys, I may call HP myself and see what they have to say.
Either way, I am getting some dirt on my tires somewhere this weekend ...........
No worries, man. Thanks for the heads-up. Woulda sucked to drive all that way, to find out that the park was closed.......... :cwm13:
Since one wheeler is coming from the South-side of HSV, maybe it would be easier to meet up somewhere close to I565. Anyone that is going, how about meeting up at the Krystal's on Madison Blvd, say around 6:30~6:45? I would like to be on the road by 7:00.
I had a good time. Didn't get to see about half of the trails, so definitely want to go back.
We went down a couple of tricky trails, with some mud, off-camber rocks, and trees that tried to rip off fender flares and doors (got some new trail-stripes on the Heep :thankyou: ).
We also took a wrong turn at one point, and ended up on an ATV trail, that was WAY too narrow for a 4-door. It was a good day, though.
my good friend and owner/webmaster of huntsvillecarscene.com snagged this photo of my JK. Its a damn picture of it. Wish she was cleaner when he took it.

Doesn't surprise me. After twenty years of trying, Chrysler still couldn't make a 3.8 that didn't tick, burn oil, throw rods and suck in general. Why change now. But at least I have 93k more miles to get mine fixed if (I mean when) it starts ticking.
Good deal on a new (basically new) tire. If I was ready for some new shoes, I would think about this.
AMP's Jeep Tip of the Day #57:
When switching from the hard top to the soft top, make sure that you have all of the hardware, brackets, and surrounds for the soft top BEFORE you remove the hard top. If you donated your roll-bar brackets to a buddy, so that he could use his "new" soft top, and didn't get new ones for yourself, your soft top will not get installed.
Maybe if the guy that he got the top from had provided brackets, you wouldnt be in this predicament now. Or maybe it was a sign that you really should just run around topless this week.
Luckily, I just happen to have a bikini top/sun bonnet/half top/whatever the hell its called, so I can run with that for the time being. Works good with my Safari Straps Warrior cargo divider that I won back in Feb.
Side note: Did some shopping around, found the brackets for sale anywhere from $13-$20. Cheapest set, to my door was from Quadratec. So, against my better judgement, I bought them. Soon as I did, I get the confirmation e-mail................... both on back order. I shoulda known better. :flipoff:
