Tire pressures (with MTRs, specifically)
For off-roading try 15-20 PSI. On-road about 33-36 PSI, but the old chalk test is best to confirm your optimum pressure. 80 PSI is the max pressure for the max load. You will never see that much weight on a Jeep. I have a set of Treadwrights coming in this week, and I am curious to see how...- droptine

which replacement diff?
I have the Powertrax no-slip in a 4x2 Dodge Ram and it works well, but you do have to be easy on the gas around the corners. Traction has vastly improved. I would do it again in a second. However, the Detroit varieties may be superior and they offer more options (e.g., no-slip...- droptine

Burning Smell
Just got back from the dealer. They replaced the left rear caliper. $201.48 bill. Parts were $84.56, labor was $127.50. They took 10% off the parts and 20% off the labor. My normal Jeep dealer went out of business, so this was the first time I tried this "new" dealer.- droptine

Burning Smell
I just had my rear brakes (pads and rotors) replaced at the dealer (44,000 miles on my Liberty CRD). When I got home, I noticed a distinct burning smell coming from the rear wheels. Is this the new brakes "breaking" in, or is there a problem.- droptine

Factory limited slip swap
I have had the Powertrax in a 4x2 Dodge Ram for about 2 years now. Besides a little "chirping" around corners on occasion, it works great.- droptine
