I’ll check around. I can tell you every hose is damn hot to the touch. Like hold it too long and you’ll get first degree burns. Water pump is new. Should still be new. I had the cap off last night and saw it moving coolant. Yeah mine is doing it again similar to the head gasket. And the radiator is the original one. I’m thinking about taking it out and running vinegar through it. My luck has never shown me coolant loss, just violent boiling and overheating. Never coolant loss. No, 4.2L 258.

I know it’s not MJ tech but I want eyes on this. Since this is my first 6cyl I’m now encountering issues with staying cool. At first I thought it was the thermostat. I took the old one out, tested it, it opened way later than it should have. New one in. No change. Flushed the block, manifold and core. No change. Yes it’s been burped. Replaced the radiator cap cause the rubber was basically a rock. Some change but not enough. Fan clutch locks up when it should and feels normal when engine is off. I swear I cleaned the fins out but maybe I didn’t. Water pump is new. Replaced it when I did the head gasket. And it does rotate the right direction. headgasket has been replaced. Any ideas? Did my headgasket blow again? It slowly creeps up and takes about 10 miles of driving before I’m damn near out of the green on the gauge.

No problem! Glad they’re working for ya! Those little wires love to break when removing or installing them back into the cluster.

I can tell you some posts that have hidden stuff that had some really interesting clashes. My interior paint thread had a clash between doing it right and doing it on a budget.

Lol! Bribery. Honestly, I think bringing up any negativity this forum has had isn’t for the best. Those who have been here long enough know who those were and probably would like to do the same about not saying anything. It’s one of those leave the sleeping dog lie. I’m all for letting the forum keep its reputation of a good natured place rather than one to talk smack about some who aren’t even on here anymore. I think that’s the last thing I want the Jeep/AMC community to see about us.

I remember some stuff. That’s all I’m going to say.

Ain’t that the truth man…. Lol yeah a hot commodity

I see what you’re trying to do. Haha. Sale is just on interior parts only as these things are just taking up space these days.

I’m gonna do a spring clearance sale. All small parts are free(minus shipping cost) from now until the end of April!

Welcome to the world of Wendy wastefuls we live in….

Go the whole 9 yards. Make it a luxurious MJ with GM keyless entry that I added to my XJ. Fricken love it. Definitely spoiled myself to my XJ whenever I drive my MJ.

Usually do haha. Can’t wait. Which means wife and I will need to get caught up.

I’m inclined to believe his diagnostic method, I will see for myself, this poor ZJ has been beaten on and abused. How ever, when off the pedal is rock hard and it doesn’t even have any brake fluid in the master.

Lol got a lot to catch up on. I think we’re coming in close to the latest season. It definitely is an addicting show. Like more addicting than I thought. That and faruq’s intros are pretty fun to listen to.

Lol not that game. I really remember there a show being called robotwars in the early 2000’s.

Thanks for that! I’m really hoping the booster isn’t bad but the owner said that when he plugs the line to the booster, the engine runs fine but runs rough when unplugged. So I’ve got a bit of digging on this one.

Well would you look at that. I wonder if 94 is a one year only thing. I’ll get with the owners and see if that’s the route they’d like to go. I can’t imagine there’s much difference.

Ok here’s a fun one. You can not get new boosters for the V8 ZJ. Now what can one do in this situation? I met a couple the other weekend thanks to an AMC friend who said I’d be able to help them. They got a ZJ that was running and currently has no brakes. They were told the booster is bad. I’m going to confirm that this weekend. But upon searching for a booster, they were told you can not get a new booster. I tested that and lo and behold you can’t! Well damn. Anyhow, I call upon CC to help. Would a WJ booster fit? Would that be considered an upgrade to the ZJ? They want this Jeep to be something their granddaughters can drive and I sure as hell want it to be damn safe and reliable.

Ok my wife put this on about a year or so ago when she was sick and she became addicted to it and so every now and then we watch it. Tombstone and duck! are favorites in the house. I know I’m not old enough but I remember when it was robotwars. But the time and effort that goes into building all these bots is damn crazy. Course think about what we dump into our Jeeps and projects that would otherwise make others think it’s damn crazy as well. Haha.

Oh we both know that he is.

Gotta chrome it all out.

That is true can’t deny that look.

Goin for a goonies like build? You should watch the mamafratelli Jeep build on YouTube.

I wish I had a pic but they attach at the corners of the lower panel. There should be a small tab sticking up in the metal support of the lower dash that lines up with the fork of the bracket itself and should line up with a hole for the screw to go into. The one on the drivers side is hidden by the e-brake release handle.

That plug given its in the middle makes me think ashtray light. Turn the headlamps on and test for power. If you have power, then it’s the ashtray lamp like I think it is.
