#FADSareDUMB
The FAD (front axle disconnect) is the most hated part on this Jeep to me. More systems to wad through, more things to go wrong. Its much simpler to just delete the entire thing. Its pretty simple to do just requires a few extra parts.
1. need to replace your font axle shaft from a 2 piece, to a 1 piece.
2. using a reprogrammer to delete the FAD software from the computer system.
3. remove the motor entirely and use a delete plate in its place.
Unfortunately, deleting the FAD won't add strength to your axle, but will gain you additional clearance off-road, make that front LCA lower, passenger bolt easier to access and eliminate any 4x4 failure over the FAD not functioning as designed!

Hi! Great video, thanks! Do you know if Tazer will be able to delete FAD on the Wrangler JL with a clutch type T-Case, which is not mechanical and controlled by computer? Seems like Jscan is struggling to do it - computer still wants FAD to engage 4wd, although serv 4wd warning is killed.

Adding any significant weight to the jeep will be felt. The best way to counter it, is either making it lighter, or regearing. I’m assuming drag = sluggish/slow

@maxturgidson568 Год назад

I think people forget locking hubs. For enthusiasts…. Sure. But they broke like crazy. Required maintenance… (taking apart and cleaning and greasing and sealing) and for most people that had a 4x4 for winter or occasional use, they were corroded or frozen and couldn’t be turned. When they needed to be. We… the people that grew up with turn in hubs, kinda demanded something different as 4x4s became more common and reached a broader market. For better or worse. I think for the non enthusiast, we’re better off without manual hubs. Hubs used to be a common spare. Always had hubs and tools and grease and seals for when a hub grenaded.

@Mickale-Moranis 4 года назад

Funny...compare this FAD of the JL to the CAD of the YJ....YJ is done by vacuum and its aftermarket upgrade is a cable actuator. Similar to the JL upgrade to a single shaft, YJ can use a ZJ, TJ, XJ single inner shaft. However, when the YJ goes to the single inner shaft, an axle shaft seal has to be placed in the differential ear of the tube. JLs doesn't, just use the proper shaft with the machined point in the middle of the shaft for the axle seal.

@JLLIFEOFFROAD 4 года назад

@hypnotiqpits13 3 года назад

why would you change your caster? the jeep would handle like shit. if you lift the jeep you adjust your arms not change your caster. Adjusting the arms keeps your axle "pitched" to a factory caster setting. I cant see why you would rotate your axle backwards

@yogi5835 4 года назад

OK now I have some more time. Great video Mo as always. So here is a question that has me Baffled, so seems like a lot of people are adding more caster for I guess better steering or ride? That like you said turns the FAD downward, but doesn’t it also turn the pinion angle down, in turn putting more strain on the U joints? Back in the day when we lifted, we turn the axle (pinion) upward to decrease the angle, Relieving stress on the U joints. so what am I missing here? Unless you are going to Rotate the axle tubes in the differential to give you more caster. Your Solving one problem but creating another. But maybe I am wrong. Again thanks for the great video. Love Ya. Take care and tell Missy we are missing her jokes.

@JLLIFEOFFROAD 4 года назад

Yes... some people are running 7+ on caster. Which is just insane to me. I run 5.7ish The more caster.. the more effed u will make ur opinion angle.. I think it’s a good middle ground where I have mine and am happy with it... the other way to fix it is to cut off the brackets and re weld them on to allow more caster.
