Is that a Nash Metropolitan in the background?

Oh yeah - paint to match. :cheers: It's definitely MJ specific and looks nice. Stockland is a Houston based company, still in business. First one I've seen for the MJ, rare animal.

That's a good looking shell and one I haven't seen before. Is the manufacturers label still there?

Hmm, never had to do that, the turning w/o the engine running when replacing a pump and/or box. But if it works, that's good.

First thing I thought of was air in the system - didn't bleed by cranking R-L-R-L stop-to-stop at idle until the air bubbles were gone. Then a bad pressure relief valve in the pump, but both pumps? Not likely. Would be hard to cross the pressure and return pump lines.............

the news or general population must not have acknowledged those then cause i never even heard of one touching down by you let alone 3. oh, and i never lost power. :rotf: :rotf:

A Milkbone washed down with a swig of Highlife. :yes:

Turn ignition to RUN. Remove temp sensor wire connector from the sensor and touch it to ground. The temp gauge should go HI. If not, the circuit from the temp gauge to the temp gauge sensor on the head is open.

Does he fetch specific sizes ..... here is how the command goes " Gus look at the bolt boy now fetch me the 18mm deep well 1/2" socket and ratchet" he brings it to you and you reward him with a swig of your beer? Or your under the truck and can't break a rusty nut loose and in anger throw your wrench across the garage and then realise you need that tool so you send gus for it because your too exhausted to get off the creaper? :doh: Naw, he's not that good. I have to lay all the wrenches on the floor I think I'll need because he refuses to dig through the tool box. He usually picks the correct size but still gets confused between metric and SAE sizes. :dunce:

Try Tom at Hell Creek. Got mine there for the D44. Excellent quality and price.

Nice cat Mike. But I bet he can't fetch wrenches for you like Gus the Cocker Spaniel can. :clapping:

That's all? Better get a generator then.............

Graduated from?

9 full hours? That's terrible. Last tornado bout here we lost power for a full week. With that being said, if you're complaining about a 9 hour outage you better invest in a generator. You're not in an tornado prone area, but having a generator in the places I've lived in the past and present, I consider it mandatory. Don't wait until some freak of nature comes rolling in causing a massive power outage unless you want to pay X3 what the generator is worth. It's cheap insurance. I picked up a 6.5K generator from Harbor Freight a few years ago for $450 on sale with a quiet 14HP Robin/Subaru engine pictured below. It handles everything in the house except the heat pumps and hot water heaters. It's been a lifesaver, and as posted, they can be used for many other things. Don't wait until the crap hits the fan.

The shafts will swap. As far as I recall, you just tap one out and tap the new one in. The gears are the same on both.

:wrench: :thumbsup: Is the aux fan kicking in with the A/C also?

I had some large black heat shrink tubing laying around (1" ID I think) and just shrunk it around the levers, except for the folding joint. No more rattles. :cheers:

I'm just talking about the valve (square stem) that is reverse threaded. On my 91 w. factory air anyhow it is for sure, and also on all the Benz's I've had throughout the years. Even says so in the FSM if I'd bothered to look the first time I recharged it. I suppose nothing's written in stone though..............

This is correct. And the valve is reverse threaded; turn clockwise to open, ccw to close.

As you know, the MJ fans are pullers. The fan shroud's main purpose is to direct the pulling air flow from the outside through the radiator to cool the coolant, especially at low speeds. i.e. off road. With no shroud the fan will just recirculate more hot air within the engine compartment than it pulls through the radiator. So yes, you need the shroud to stay cooler longer. Why the fan blade hitting the shroud you're going to have to figure out - it ain't natural. Is the frame/unibody area where the motor mounts are located all rotted out?

That's a J-truck tonneau. I suppose it could be cut down though..........

Hey Brett - maybe it's time to invest in your own pressure washer, si? :cheers: They come in handy at times.

I understood you Jim. My aluminum radiator just developed a pinhole leak too on the plastic side tank. I didn't even bother trying to fix it and ordered an all aluminum radiator from FF Dynamics. Should have done that four years ago.............

At 230* or so, the aux fan is triggered ON by a ground signal from ECU pin 31 to pin 5 of the aux fan relay in the PDU. It's a BLU/PNK wire in the 91-92. Perhaps in a non-AC vehicle that wire is not in the harness. You can control the fan manually by applying a ground to the PDU relay via a dash switch as you mentioned. Send me an email address and I'll send you the wiring diagram if you want.

Whatever that means.
