  1. Thanks. Those are cheap. I have been wrenching and building jeeps for years but this is my first diesel of any sort. I know the basics and have been cramming the books since buying it. If it's not reliable enough to DD then it will be sold or heavily Nuttered. When running it runs very well and all though it's low miles every diesel specific part is new and I have the low miles take offs as spares. I have not had the time to look at it, seeing if there is at least 10 volts at each glow plug 'GP' will be the first thing I check. Then the indacator bulb as an open circuit there will not energize the GP timer. I am wandering why the water in the fuel light is still on and if being on it activates the fuel shot off solenoid.
  2. I can not find an icon or an attachment to click for pictures on the forum
  3. I can not figure out how to post pictures or because I am a newbie it won't allow me.
  4. It was running perfect yesterday. I get in today and no start. The oronge glow plug light was working before and this morning it didn't come on but a red water in the fuel light next to it did. The fuel heater/filter/water seperator is new and was loose where it attaches to the fire wall, so I grounded it and tried again and nothing. Then I drained it and reinstalled and still nothing, the red water indicator is still on and the glow plug isn't If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.
  5. It is the one that was posted, and yes we are a bit of a nutty group us islanders. I will try to get some pictures posted soon. I already put on some black alloy rims with less back spacing And 31 inch MT tires, it completely changed the look. My other jeeps are pissed that they have a new brother.
  6. Picked up my first MJ today. 1986 2WD longbox, 131 000 original km good clean all around condition and rust free. It`s got a turbo diesel and a 5 speed, seams to run and drive really nice.
