I don't like tilt Saginaw columns. They always get loosy goosy over time, which at least requires a surgery tear down and tightening of the tilt mechanism, if your lucky. Unless you have multiple drivers that really need this optional feature, it's an unnecessary point of failure to me. ~2" of up/down column movement I don't need. The chrome tilt lever and multifunction stalk switch from any pre-airbag GM Saginaw are PnP for our MJ columns.

The flex hose to the center vent has come off. It's about 1" ID, and looks like a mini clothes dryer flexible hose. Reach up directly and you should find the distant end. Same thing happened to mine. I put a dab of RTV on the dash vent nipple and it hasn't come off since.

Agree 100%. But I do question his sanity pulling a front axle in a junkyard while sick as a dog with the flu. YOU'RE A SICK MAN ADAM, and I don't mean the flu. Well done mate! :cheers:

You can replace the pivoting vent window with a fixed vent window out of an XJ. No such thing though as a one piece glass window until 1997, and they don't fit the old style doors. Although I vaguely remember a post by Gjeep who did it somehow. Maybe he'll chime in.

I guess you know Uncle Ted is a draft dodger..............

Mike, your signature shows four MJs and you only list three. Still have all four? If so, then you need to build another micro MJ. :yes:

I had this bookmarked: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/ax15-breather-writeup-972897/

Well said Fred. Also would like to add the same sentiments for Canada's Remembrance Day.

Tried that. It just brings up a log in or create a new account screen for me. Ain't going there.........

Sorry I can't see what Uncle Ted has to say because I refuse to join Farcebook. I'm sure it was a fitting tribute for Veterans Day though. :cheers:

That retired AMC/Jeep service manager sounds like an idiot. No wonder AMC went under. :yes:

No worries, we've all done similar. Good you caught it before one of your wheels went south while driving north. That's happened to a lot of us too, including me. :eek:

:smart: Cmon man........... Unfortunately it's everywhere Gog. http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/prejudice-and-discrimination/ http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/out-of-sight-out-of-mind-2/

The pic above is supposed to be a 99 model. :dunno:

I take all this "never ever" with a grain of salt until I see some figures. A single 10-blade late model XJ fan pulls 1400 CFM @ 12VDC. These numbers were posted by a manufacturer of aftermarket aluminum radiator / three fan MJ/XJ kit over on NAXJA. Have to commend the guy for his honesty. He admitted the two stock fans pulled 200CFM more air than did his 3-fan setup, then quantified it by stating that the stock fans also pulled more amps under load. And of course the 10-blade stock fans pulled more amps. More air CFM = more load = more amp draw. My fans are fused at 25A, same as the stockers. I've never had a problem with running hot in the 8+ years I've been running this setup and would never go back to the stock mechanical fan. With the Spal two-speed fan controller I get sufficient cooling with the primary fan only running at LO speed for about 75% of the year. The only time both fans run at HI speed is when stuck in heavy traffic in the hot summer.

The 99 parts manual does indeed call for a switch there: SWITCH, Transfer Case Mode, p/n 56006755.

Yep, agree with Dirty, your cooling system isn't working as it should. It looks like you're on the right track to fix it though. :cheers: As for my dual fans, they are still working great. I use the Spal PWM controller and depending on which temp sensor you use and which option you use to wire them it in, you can program the primary or secondary fan to shut off at an engine temperature of your choice after the ignition is turned off. I don't use this feature though - never had to.

If we didn't have political BS discussions like this, how could the Canadian guys bash American politics? :yes: And I don't mind at all because it is like a sad soap opera at times. Especially lately..............

That's nice - but you already knew the ratios were different. You still don't know what the actual ratios are. If it were mine, I'd like to eyeball the gears after that too, especially on a "new to you" truck.............

If it showed up two weeks after you replaced the tires/wheels, It's probably coincidence. Check your drivetrain mounts, especially the transmission mount pieces for loose mounting bolts and/or rotten rubber.

So what's the point of that Knuck? It accomplishes nothing except maybe a silent protest that no one hears except yourself. But that's cool. :cheers:
