Is anyone wheeling on Sunday? Any issues with a Jeep tagging-along?

I gotta be home Sunday afternoon, so nothing too long for me.

MotorHome is packed and loaded up. Heading out the door now. Hopefully we will be there Thursday early afternoon.

Have to travel through some bad weather it looks like.

What time will Saturday kickoff? I'm leaving from Battlement Mesa(@1hr east of Grand Junction) that morning early & do not want to miss the crew!

Depends on the trail we choose for the technical. If it's a long one, then early. If it's not too long, then there's usually time to spare. What time you think you can make Moab?

Any 4th Gens hitting Moab this year? I wish I could go. All I see on YouTube are 3rd Gens at Moab. It'd be nice to see some video of a 4G hitting those trails!

If it's not too much to ask, can we get some good video of you all at Moab this year posted on YouTube? I've watched every other video posted of the PWR crew in Moab, but I'm itching to see a 4G out there. I'm living vicariously through you all and I need a fix!

I've watched every other video posted of the PWR crew in Moab, but I'm itching to see a 4G out there. I'm sure a lot of us 4G guys are living vicariously through you and we need a fix! It's great to see any PW running those trails, but it'd be nice to see a 4G.

The wife and I are definitely down for next year. I wish we could make it this year, but my my recent unemployment situation threw a wrench into any fun. Thus the need for my vicarious request!

In preparation for Moab: I'm making an attempt to repair the rear locker tonight & try to keep it in stock form. What are the recommendations of the crew for cleaning out the differentials(since they'll be apart for inspection/repair)? Is brake cleaner safe to douche out the fine material/sediment or just wipe what I can & flush with fresh/clean oil? Magnets will be cleaned & reseting the air gaps as well...

Mr.Smith · Post by **Mr.Smith** » Tue Apr 29, 2014 1:09 pm

Hey(anyone)Coder!??? You once posted a page from the PW maintenance manual about locker front & rear magnet air gaps & the specifications for both...can you repost? Please!???

Post by **ldgregory** » Tue Apr 29, 2014 2:14 pm

I flushed mine out with brake cleaner and then wiped out as much as I could. Cleaning the magnets I ran various folded thicknesses of paper towel between them. Seemed to work pretty good.

Okay! When setting the air gap: 4low, locker engaged???

BigRed2007 · Post by **BigRed2007** » Tue Apr 29, 2014 3:53 pm

From the manual...

22. Energize locker and verify dog clutch is engaged.
23. Set sensor air gap (2) to 5.5 mm ± 0.25 mm (0.21
in. ± 0.01 in.).
24. Tighten sensor target magnet bolt (3) to 7 N·m
(62 in. lbs.).
25. Install sensor wire tie strap (4) to adjuster lock
and de-energize coil.
