  2. I hate auto-locks.........hate'm! I always leave a door open or windows down when working on one with auto-locks. If I were the seller.........I'd be pissed.
  3. Move.
  4. Well four hours and $40 later.........ain't too impressed with the harness upgrade but at least I'm ready to a couple of serious lamps now. I got a couple of Wagners from Napa some time back for the XJ, paid like $48 for them, advertized as some special blue light with extended reach or some crap, not. So I thought they'd do better in the MJ and I took them off the XJ after it got wrecked, then I thought I'd do the harness upgrade and maybe they'd live up to the promise, still not. Maybe the Silverstars next, you guys swear by them huh?
  5. 46 on Jan 19th.
  6. Well this thread inspired me. I bought everything I need to build my own harness from scratch.
  7. Where are you and how much do you want for it?
  8. Help me to understand that better please? How would I use a resistor?
  9. Back in FL they became the Pimp's mobile of choice. Here in E TN they are the choice of the hillneck. Won't catch me in one.

  11. viewtopic.php?f=2&p=205332 The threads of the T-stat housing bung are 3/8MPT and I could not find a sensor or switch with the correct threads that was not discontinued so I had to improvise. Finding a suitable normally open switch with the correct temp range and suitable thread size was not easy either and apparently I'm not the first to go looking for it as seen in the link posted above. I chose the BWD TFS8, 3/8NPT and a closed temp of 204 degrees. The pigtail is for a brake sensor from a 80s GM since I could not find the correct connector at the junk yard but this is suitable and it works. The system works well with one exception and that is the temp will rise to about 212 degrees before turning the fan on and I have found that if I shut the engine off just before the fan cycle begins it will boil over to the reservoir. What I should have accounted for is the coolant is cooler at the stat housing than it is in the block. What I will probably try next is- http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HFM-ZFSWF/ with the expectation that it will come on earlier and cycle just before shutting the engine down. As seen in the pics below I drilled out the bung and tapped it 3/8NPT. Another consideration may be to run the hot lead direct to the battery and allow the fan to continue it's cooling cycle after I shut the engine down. The fan had been triggered by the ignition and ran full time and I wanted to cure two problems, overcooling and the continuous draw of current on the electrical system.
  12. I'll be the signal from the sender is weak.......too weak to hold a constant reading. I have a XJ and the oil pressure gauge was acting in a similar way and I thought for sure it was the gauge until I tried another sender and it works fine now.

  15. BTW if that were ball joints or bearing having that much effect........man you'd know it.
  16. Looks to me that changing the pitch of the axle would correct that. No it doesn't look right to me. I might also add that the camber was not correct on my 2wd either until I swapped to 4wd with all new suspension (stock) and is now correct. Also my tight steering radius didn't feel right before but does now.
  17. Clutch, I think I got confused as well. If the reservoir is losing fluid then the only places it could leak from are either the master cylinder, the hose or the slave cylinder correct? Correct.

  19. There is a nut that the plunger/rod goes through............just take off the nut.
  20. BTW go external now............I wouldn't pay one penny on an internal.
  21. When they go they go.......better be a creative driver or you'll be stranded. I'm creative.
  22. Mine over cools too but I have an electric fan on mine............I need to install a fan switch. Beats the hell out of overheating though.
  23. Pull your spark plugs and examine.
