It's Time to SUPERSIZE Moby - MoTech 6.2L LS Jeep Motor Swap

C'mon MoTech !! Don't they know that hundreds of people are waiting to see Moby back in action lol


I don't always wheel , but when I do I keep it tight......... Stay dirty my friends.
 
Visited Moby at Off Road Evolution today. This is the first time we have seen the new wheels and tires installed in person. We are still waiting for parts from MoTech before we can finish up the swap.

Why whats wrong with the PS pump bracket? They did quite a few conversions now and all brackets are a Go. Not sure what the problem is?

Not really sure either. The kit was supposed to allow for the use of a factory 3.8L power steering pump and we had a PSC pump made for a 3.8L motor. Only when we installed it, even at full adjustment, the serpentine belt was too loose. Motech said that we had the wrong pump and so we asked them to help us get what we needed. Well, that was over 2 weeks ago and after bugging them the last couple of days, they have just started asking about what fittings we had - in other words, it sounds like they are just now working on getting this figured out. :rolleyes2:

why don't you guys just find a smaller belt?
 
There kit is designed for a 3.8 stock mopar ps pump. Why dont you just use the factory pump in the mean while to keep her running.

I thought PSC is excatly the same size dimensions as factory stock pump.

Also you can use different size belt to keep it tight....

You would think it would be that easy but, apparently the pulley doesn't line up. Motech said that we had the wrong pump :thinking: :idontknow:

Don't have a factory pump anymore and even if we did, it wouldn't deliver enough to power our ram assist. Even still, the PSC pump we had was made for our 3.8L motor but it didn't line up well. Motech is making us a new bracket.

I could be wrong here but perhaps that was covered when they had the PCM reprogrammed by motech :thinking:
 
Just picked up a copy of an off-road mag and they gave the Wrangler NSG370 5-speed now turned flower pot a hallowed spot on their "walk of shame" list. Jumping out of first was a major complaint. Nothing about bad vibes though.
