    Well after that I took her out on a test drive, now before that I had tested her for DW and I ran to about 55mph, but was very scared since it was lunch hour and there was traffic around me, so now was the time to do it since it was Sunday night and it's pretty mellow, so I did and floored it on some neighborhood streets, and it's definite that I need the new tranny cable for it because it's shifting like $#!&, but I was able to take her up to about 70mph with my homemade alingment, and no more DW!!! yeayyyaaaa!!! :banana: Mission Accomplished! So since I was so excited to have her back up and running I decided to take her to work on Monday morning, and while we were deciding what to get for breakfast I excitedly volunteered to go get it, but when I went to get on my truck and start her, the starter was about to start, and it took a dump.. :fs1: So I wasn't able to start her by my own, so after work a friend of mine showed up and started diagnosing the problem, and we ended up starting her by jumping her, but there's definitely an electrical problem there and hopefully we'll try to figure that out today.. So there's my dilemma, I know I said that I rather be prepared and accept the fact that problems were gonna rise up, but I'm running out of patience rather quickly... Friking Jessica get your $#!& together!!! :thwak: Pleeeaassee :bowdown:

    Nice man your engine bay looks clean! :thumbsup: And I had a couple of questions on how you did the auto meter gauges, since I'm planning to do the same thing on my truck, do you have a write up, or more pics about it?

    Hi I recently added fresh gear oil to my front diff, and now it started puking it out through the passenger side axle tube. Also I tried to test the 4x4 and it is not working, so I think either the diaphragm in the axle to lock the shaft is done, or my new to me axle has some more issues.. I hope not, but since I already need to take a peek inside for the oil leak I'm thinking of just manually have it locked and leave it like that, I thought of getting a stock shaft of a newer TJ/XJ, but I think that since the split shaft looks thicker than a stock TJ one, I'll just leave it there till I save some $$$ and buy me some RCVs What do you guys think? Also Another question I had is that since the split shaft stays inside the housing whenever you take out the outermost part of it, is there another easier to get to seal around the split shaft?, or do I actually have to take apart the carrier in order to change the differential seal? Any Help would be greatly appreciated!

    Whoops, also forgot to post that I made a nicer mount/adapter for my power steering pump.. here are the pics New template Old POS mount/adapter Everything taken apart, God I new a new lower Rad Hose.. I know I know.. another thing to add to the list Cutting the new mount/adapter out of 5/16" plate And I forgot to take a picture of everything buttoned up, since I had to put it on.. hehe Also I'm not to happy with the muffler shop work they did, so that'll be the last time I go with them.. but it's all good because I'm going to need to replace that muffler in a year or so and when I do I'm gonna take it to a better more professional shop..

    Hi Guys I was stupidly over reacting, and forgot that when I installed the new headers, and intake manifold I left like 4 of the bolts on the bottom loose since it was a long day, and the bolts were hard to reach.. I knew it was going to be something simple, but not that simply stupid :doh: But hey, at least now I know, to always double Triple Check everything. So I tightened up the bolts, and she's now purrring like a kitty cat! :banana: can't wait to actually go drive it! I'll post an update tomorrow on how I ended up connecting the E-Fans, and did the whole setup. Like I Said Thanks Again for all the Help and I'm glad it was something as simple as that!!! :bowdown: PS: Even though I feel like a stupid inexperienced dumbass... :dunce: I'm still gonna leave this here, as I know it'll help someone that forgot to triple check their work hehehe IF you have perseverance the reward will be a lot more satisfying! And don't rush into things!

    Hi Guys So I'm so close of having Jessica back up and running again, and now that everything is connected and good to go, I started her and it's Reved up like a mofo (actually Redlining) and I have to kill the engine right away because I don't even have my foot on the pedal, and I'm afraid to mess up anything inside the engine. Now What I changed from when I parked it 2 years ago is pretty much everything in the Engine compartment, since the PO swapped the Original engine for a HO of an 06 TJ, but kept all the old Renix stuff like closed cooling system, intake manifold, throttle body... So I swapped all of the old stuff for new stuff. A 92 HO Intake Manifold, a brand new Jeepers and Creepers 62mm Throttle body, with its Spacer, a Banks Header System, Homemade TPS sensor adapter, Open Cooling System.. etc. So I already checked the obvious, which was checking sensors, and Vacuum leaks, and nothing popped out. Now on the new headers it didn't come with a bung for the 02 sensor, but for what I've read it's not completely necessary, so that is not connected. Also I'm not sure if I re-connected the EGR valve, and to be honest I'm lost on what the EGR valve does, and if it has anything to do with the problem I have.. I suspect by what I've experienced before, that it's sucking air from somewhere else, but where could it be going in from, it has new gaskets everywhere around the intake manifold and accessories, and also I used plumbers tape on every fitting that threads onto the intake manifold. Anyways guys any Help will be greatly appreciated since I haven't slept well for a couple of Days now, thinking of what could be causing this problem. For pics on what I did you can go check out my thread Thanks Again

    Well Needless to say Yes Mr KCsurfer420 aka Tim helped me out on getting the new (to Jessica) axle all nice and prepped with new ball joints, unit bearings and upper poly bushings. and that was about a month ago now I'm to the task of cleaning up the wiring and conecting the 3 e-fans I bought, I don't know if I posted this update or not, but I ended up buying 3 10" Maradyne E-Fans since the ones I had originally planned to put on didn't fit because the steering box got in the way, and also didn't have almost any clearance against the engine. I'll try to upload some more pics later of the fans and the work I got done to the radiator. Basically at the end of the day it would've come out cheaper to just buy the Flex-a-Lite Radiator with e-fans, but at least this will have the best of the best, being that those fans are very up to the task, and are all of a composite structure, when you feel the structural integrity of em they're not flexy like regular e-fans these mofos are very stout. Anyways sorry for the year wait, and I'll be uploading pics shortly.
