Front elbow is just an elbow. I believe I used 1/2 inch hose there. Rear is a fixed orifice as opposed to a traditional cob valve. Sometimes these can be cleaned and reused... Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

Just did the Harmonic Balancer on my WJ 4.0 last week. I thought at first it was an idler. Either the tensioner or idler pulleys. I took the belt off to check pulleys and then fired it up to see if noise was still there. Sure enough noise was still there. Closer look...balancer pulley had come loose from its rubber bonding, shifted inboard and was rubbing the timing cover...as I said before don't wait too long. Its a big leak if you do. I found a very reasonable price on eBay... Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

Rubing...rubing the timing cover...don't wait too long Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

Look at the harmonic balancer closely. Is it tubing the timing cover? Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

Found out the hard way the 5.2L Durango water neck doesn't match up to the stock SBC intake. Bolt configuration is too narrow but I think ill make it work...been working hard at prepping engine bay and underbody for paint... Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

Rock On, Cool. Good info, thanks for posting Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

I have never done the drip rails. Mine still has them. I would say if your really good with a wiz wheel or sawzall and a mig welder it could be done fairly easily... Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

Look up Advance Auto Parts or O'Reilly Auto Parts and search seats...you may need to fab your own brackets... Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

My guess would be either ignition switch or starter relay or starter solenoid...on the 4.0 it should be fairly easy to get to the solenoid on the starter. Create a jumper from the fat wire to the little wire. I use a flat blade screwdriver. If it cranks the issue will be either ignition switch or starter relay in the power distribution center (fuse box) near the battery... Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

Interestingly enough same thing happened to me. After I got my WJ I put my MJ on Craigslist. No serious inquiries so I parked it. 6 months ago decided to get real and picked up a SBC 305 from a 83 Camaro. Check out my project post elsewhere in this forum...Good Luck with yours...

This afternoon i began working underhood. Removing the hood and fenders, all Underhood wiring, radiator, smog pump, alternator, starter...the old 2.8L V6 engine is nearly ready to come out... Sent from my SM-T560NU using Tapatalk

RPM should momentarily drop then come right back up depending on carb or EFI. Carburator should have stepper motor either single wire or maybe 2 or 3 wire depending on if it's a feedback or not. EFI uses a 3 wire idle air control motor which responds a little quicker than a stepper motor making A/C idle up barely noticeable.. Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

Rock On, I would question weather or not SP15 is compatible with R134a. I have always used PAG. I have always presumed Sanden to noisy anyway and have never had one that didn't leak where the front face fastens to main body... Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

Here are pics of SBC nearly ready to install. Ordered water neck for small block Dodge and upper radiator hose for Durango since the pressure cap is in the hose and radiator I will be using is from an Infinti G37 and has no cap...other pics are of finished floor with rhino liner and painted firewall and back wall of cab in black base and clear coat...

It may have correct amount of oil...but what type of oil? Also verify system charge and amount of oil. Did the compressor come with oil in it and therefore could it be over charged with oil because we added more on top of what was already in the compressor...HTH Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

I don't think I've ever heard of John Deere yellow. My father has always been partial to canary yellow... Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

This year I changed my work schedule so that I'm no longer working 6 days a week. The long work week made it a real challenge to work on this truck. 6 months ago I rented a small garage to work on it on my time off. I got a SBC 305 with a 700r4 transmission from a 1983 Camaro. I have rebuilt the engine to L69 "IROC" specs. Will post pics of that soon. I just finished gutting the interior, wire brushing, steelwool scrubbing, patching rust, rhino liner the floors inside and underneath, painting the interior black. It won't go back together till the V6 is out and I can clean and paint the engine bay... Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

Late 2015 I got sideswiped on the drivers side by a Hyundai. Then in a construction zone on the interstate A disabled car stopped in the lane of travel during 5 o'clock rush hour. With no place to go I rear ended the car thus damaged grille, header panel, bumper, radiator. Insurance totaled it. I wanted to keep it so I got a salvaged title and I parked it.

This has been my on going project since 2014. I purchased this from a Craigslist ad for $1100. It was an unfinished "restoration". The guys story was "Its my son's truck. He got a DUI. I'm selling it to pay his legal fees." Engine had been rebuilt by local Napa machine shop. Did okay except they didn't replace self locking rocker arm nuts. I got really good at removing valve covers. It idled really well in his driveway but on the way home it fell on its face wouldn't run 40 mph. Bad fuel pump and a questionable Rochester Varajet carb. Original color is a burgundy color but has been sprayed white and then John Deere green. Windshield leaked thus minor rust on the floor boards. Almost no interior other than original dash and evaporator case which is empty. No heater core and no evaporator core. Doors and servos are there with the blower motor. Some duct work is missing also. No radio or speakers. S10 seats with no brackets. I drove it home with seats not bolted down. It does have original seat belts. Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk
