  1. IT LOOKS LIKE ABSOLUTE CRAP!!!! Jeepco, sell it to me :D
  2. Bastard! What are we supoosed to do if we need a interior door clip over the weekend. WHO ARE WE SUPPOSED TO CALL! :rotfl2:
  3. So should I change out the fan clutch?
  4. So Eagle, mine moves easily after it's hot. Not as easy as when it's cold but still easy. I guess it's bad. However my temp doesn't go up at a light. It goes up while driving around town and drops back down when I stop at a light. Could the fan-clutch cause this to happen? I pulled out the laser thermometer again and ran a couple tests. While my gauge reads probably somewhere between 215 and 225 it never hits 225. I aimed the laser at all the different places I could think of and right where the sensor is by the VC is where it almost matches my gauge. Everywhere else though it reads anywhere from 170 to 200. I thought my gauge was just wrong because it never overheats but now I'm secondguessing myself. I've changed the thermostat, fan temp switch/sensor, plastic expansion tank, and the PO put a new radiator in. The fan works but it doesn't turn on until the gauge reads close to 220-225. That's why I always thought the gauge was off. Is it normal for it to turn on that late? So should I just go ahead and change my fan clutch and does anyone have a good set of instructions on how to do it? Oh I've flushed the coolant and replaced and bled the air bubbles too. What da ya think?
  5. See Pat If you build it, they will come :rotfl2:
  6. Well if it's boiling out, ya your overheating. Let us know if the fan clutch was the prob then. Good luck :cheers:
  7. How much are the UCA's that you want?

    fun with turbos

    Try looking up VW's hose for the 1.8T. They're readily available and you can probably get em cheap from a junker if they fit the Libby application.

    You know T, I said the same thing to my wife and she just hit me....really hard.
  11. Mine does. So if it's not supposed to mines @#$%ed too. Did you verify the temp yet?
  12. If you take the cylinders out of the doors and take them to a locksmith with whatever key you want to use (like your ignition) they will rekey each cylinder for about ten dollars. I went and asked today.

  14. Ya, but that doesn't mean anything. Is coolant blowing out of the pressurized bottle? If it's not, measure the temp of the coolant in the bottle, the temp on the side of the block closer to the passenger side, your radiator hoses, and right where the sensor plugs in right on top of the head. It might be that your gauge is just crap. It's happened to a couple people on this board. Just eliminate the possibility that your gauge is wrong before you start freaking out like I did. If you don't have a laser thermometer use a cooking thermometer to test the temp in the plastic bottle.
  15. John, are you sure your overheating. Arre you going by the gauge. I thought mine was overheating too because I was reading the gauge, which was off by thirty degrees. I bought a laser thermometer and found out everything was fine after changing a whole bunch of parts that I didn't have to. :wall:
  16. No. Don't shoot yourself. It's not fun at all.
  17. Around $100. Definately worth the investment/
  18. I called them once. Though they might charge out the @$$, and they didn't have the part I needed. They spent half an hour on the phone with me on their dime trying to help me out. They were friendly, attentive and extremely helpful to the best of their ability. I wouldn't hesitate calling them again if I had to.

    Wow :eek: And I thought my family had some crazy toys :rotfl2: Does any militari use those?
  23. You need to grease the cable to get it to stop vibrating. Don't ask me with what grease though. Someone else is gonna have to tell you. I used a grease we use on restaurant equipment and it only lasted two weeks. I'm too lazy to pull the cluster back out to regrease it though :oops:
  24. So hornbrod. If I got a sending unit for my 88 out of a 91 comanche the gauge is going to read backwards? Will everything work normal besides that? PS sorry bout the JACK. :oops:
  25. Actually ya. Everyone wants to know.
