Carried off the Field How the Nitto Jeep Dirt Experience Came to a Premature End for Us

For those of you who've been following all the fun that Cindy and I had wheeling our Jeep Wrangler across New Mexico and Arizona on the Nitto Dirt Experience presented by KMC Wheels, you've probably been wondering, whatever happened to Moby? In the very first scene of Part 1, you saw him in a cloud of dust, struggling to keep his engine running and then, not a word about it. Well, it wasn't until day 4 on our our trip that things started to fall apart on us and in this video, you'll get to see what ultimately got him loaded up on a trailer and carried off the field.
For the first time in almost 20 years, Cindy and I did not get to spend the first week of November in Las Vegas, Nevada, like we always do and to cover all the cool new parts, accessories, wheels and tires being made for the Jeep JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator. I am of course talking about the world famous SEMA Show and just like everything else in this crazy dumpster fire of a year, the show got cancelled. Fortunately, not all was lost and all thanks to Nitto as they decided to hold their 10th Annual JK-Experience on that week instead. And, as luck would have it, we were invited to join in on the fun! Presented by KMC Wheels, this awesome adventure would start in Las Cruces, New Mexico and take us all the way to Barstow, California almost 800 miles to the west and loosely following the original route of the very first JK-Experience.
PARENTAL ADVISORY: Please be advised that there is some minor, un-edited swearing in this video.

Truth be told, Dynatrac makes a premier axle and I can't say anything bad about them. That being said, I'd be lying if I said the UD60 wasn't holding up well to the abuse we put it though and for the cost savings and ability to get them so quickly, it'd be hard for me not to consider them again.

Burning through a harness... sound more than minor. Wouldn't that be related to the engine swap? At least form and fit? Still love seeing the Corvette cover when you lift the hood.
@wayalife
@wayalife 3 года назад
Never said anything about "burning". What I said is that a piece of metal on the fender "cut" through the harness. And yes, it was a minor fix and all is good now. 😎

I replaced my fuel pump first thinking that was the issue and it wasn’t so took to my mechanic and he chased down the problem to the wiring harness. So not quite as easy as your fix.

Hey Eddie. Where was that wiring harness making contact to? I have an identical problem and I have been inspecting the wiring harness and seems to be ok so far. Just curious which wiring harness was making contact with what hot metal. Thanks and glad you were able to solve the problem. Took mine to 2 dealers and after a month on each dealer, they were unable to find the issue.
@wayalife
@wayalife 3 года назад
Is it safe to assume you have a 6.2L LT? If so, the wiring harness going to the GM ECM was routed under the fender to give the engine bay a clean look. There was a metal tab that it was rubbing against and that was causing a short.
@Mr.Guinness
@Mr.Guinness 3 года назад
@@wayalife Definitely not a 6.2L😩. Dealers keep telling me is electrical, they just don't know where is the issue. I replaced TPIM, ECM, TCM. But your video helped out because it has almost identical symptoms and now I can focus on finding the electrical damage . Thank you 👍
@wayalife
@wayalife 3 года назад
Did they check the sending unit? Ultimately, the short I was getting was fuel related and before the chaffed wire was found, we were looking at the sending unit and fuel pressure.

@wayalife
@wayalife 3 года назад
That would be the way to go if we didn't have options. This problem came about because we were trying to route things a bit differently to give a cleaner look under the hood. The best solution was to just leave things the way they should be. LOL

Depends on the person. If you're mechanically inclined, I would say absolutely yes! If not, probably not. If you watched to the end of the video, you will see that our problem was just a chaffed wire and it has since been fixed and we haven't had any problems since.
