we used uship.com a few years back to get the z-28 down to GA. was completely uneventful aside from jitters of watching some stranger drive our baby backwards up a big car-hauler. cost about the same as when I fetched my MJ and I didn't have to risk my life towing in the snow to do it! (uhaul trailers and snow is not a safe combo)

Cooling the 4.0.. from inside?
Pete M replied to omega_rugal's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
the amount of gasses coming out of that hose pale in comparison to the huge amount of cold air being sucked into the throttle body so I doubt there's a direct connection. maybe the thermostat went bad? -
we'd like to give credit to him for collecting up some great data. I think his name might be Ken? https://jeepcomanche.blogspot.com/

pictures? you can't go claiming you have one of the most "80s" of 80s trucks without sharing pictures for us to drool over! better yet, start yourself a build thread and share TONS of pictures of your rare bird.

did you run a fresh ground for that test?

it's a bolt-on hamster cage. it's where you stash a couple extra squirrels to help your jeep out.

the ballast resistor is bypassed by the computer at startup so that the pump will see full voltage for cranking. after a couple seconds of running it'll switch to resistor-only and carries on like that 'til shutoff.

well, depending on whose calculations are right, we may well see it again. or it might crash into venus. who knows.

the pump grounds right behind the dr side taillight so it might be worth while to clean it.

what about using a tablet and hanging it off the front part of the dash lip? (essentially hanging it in front of the radio and heater controls but it a way that they are easily accessed)

what might they be? bonus points if you've got pics. in just this one photo you can see: I drained out the last of my washer fluid bottle and routed the ccv hose to it as a stop gap to catch the copious amounts of oil spewing from my valve cover as I was traveling over the mountain passes on the way to Moab. used a clothes hanger to hold it down for extra classiness that screw hole at the bottom of the pic is from when I screwed a small piece of metal to hold down that corner of the hood after the latch seized on me and I tore it out. never needed it until I hit freeway speeds and then it would flop up and down. and yes, that's tupperware keeping my relays dry. (technically that was planned so it doesn't count for this thread) you can see the metal strip here:

I've seen them online for late model XJs, but can't recall one for earlier years.

don't worry about it. our site now auto-shrinks your pics for you. just load them straight to your post! but wile we're on the subject, in MS Paint I use "resize" and I usually do it by pixels. I've found that 600xwhatever is plenty big for internet use.

just send me a message with your name/address and if you prefer paypal or snailmail for the donation.

What Minuit knows about stock Jeep radios

I have a bluetooth dongle plugged into my AUX port and it's all hidden behind the dash. (except for the charging cable) -
did this come on suddenly? any trailer light wire harness integrated out back? check the ground located inside the dr side taillight. double check that all your bulbs are correct and the sockets are in good shape. after that I would check the harness connector located behind the drivers side rear tire underneath the truck. I had corrosion inside that killed the brake lights / turn signals.

diesels do not like the cold. My liberty drops at least 10-15mpg if it's below freezing outside. doesn't help that the grille/fan arrangement up front doesn't lend itself to an easy covering for the radiator.

pixel by pixel by pixel by pixel... good times (not)

it's a classic I still remember making it in MS paint.
