Here is the summary I have to date. (BTW, I have the 9448s as I'm headed towards a 3-4" SFD - not put on yet. I'm pairing them with an ARB OME Heavy Duty Front setup-also not put on yet. I'll post when it's done. I re researched purchase options & LR Direct was still the best. I paid $85 on Fri 10/12 & got them in Eastside Seattle Mon 10/15.)

That was gonna be my guess. My sister's Volvo had 3 go out back to back in the space of a month. Every time it's the flashing CEL with a constant misfire. I keep a spare coil pack and a ratchet in the trunk now since I'm pretty sure mine are all original.

let us know height outcome!

That was the case for me too. I did a bunch of mods but never used 4WD at higher speeds other than crawling on trails, so I didn’t know there was a problem until later. One of the problems with a high CV angle is that the front end lifts a little bit under torque, which causes and even more severe angle for the axles to put up with. While not enough to bind, it’s still pushing the limits of their smoothest operating range. Thats a har one to troubleshoot though.

Very interesting. I'd be interested to know what that looks like so I can keep an eye out for em, Google here I come!

Check for a code with a scanner or do the manual check with a CEL flash count before spending any money.

I finally had some time to spend installing my lightbar today. It’s not wired up but it is mounted. Wondering around the hardware store today I came across some hinges for a door in the house and thought I might could re-purposed that. Using a saw Zaw I cut off the loops ground off the rough edges and painted it. I think it looks pretty good. Hey trip to Ace Hardware and I was able to spend a few bucks and find some nuts and bolts that worked and here we are. Now I just need to learn to solder so I can wire up the harness.
