I mean if i don't change all the hoses and parts can I still convert the system to open for real cheap can I reuse the same parts except the t-stat receiver ?? your toughts on this please ps Ive read the DIY about the change from close and open but I don't have that kind of money

wannabeMJ replied to one_bad_MJ's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
sorry to :hijack: your post but I'm about to reput an engine in my comanche and I had a few questions If I take the tranny and the t-case apart from the motor DO I HAVE to change parts or everything will work fine as I put everything back together ? What are the parts that I SHOULD change while everything is apart ?? is there parts that are gonna break or will have a tendency to??
