88whitemanche

I really couldnt.find the short it was getting dark and needed all the light needed to put the new wires in plus its my dd...i will be double checking everything later after I leave off work...hope mothing bad happens until then.... And its a new alternator so maybe its putting too much power to the wires? Ps I have to buy tje platic coating for the wires because noticed today the radiator jose makes contact with the wire for the alternator

Hey guys huge problem...monday I was foolinh around.in the engine bay cleaning up wires and I came across the battery wires to the alternator the outer coating was melted I disregarded that because I was going to replace them on yhe weekend...yesterday I het some and go into the house amd something tells me to go back and check those wires luckily I did I caught in time the engine bay was full of smoke and the wires were completely melted down even the ground wires....i replaced every wire with tje 4 gauge from the starter to the alternator even the battery cables but has anyone had this problem before? I'm going to be monitering the new wires but its scaring the crap out of me and ive come along way with this truckk for.it to burn down....please help...

Awesome I learned something new... thanks

Ok ill grab one this weekend from that comanche....thanks

Does the fan shroud make that much of a difference?

Ni I don't have a fan shroud at the moment...i was thinking about grabbing one from the junkyard well the inly one that has a comanche in miami but I was sooo pissed at an failed attempt of loosening yhe bench seat nut I got pissed and left...forgot to grab the coolant overflow tank and fan shroud...also I was in about a foot of water attempting this

Hmmm I mean I don't plan to run any lockers because ima just do light treading and mudding necause I do live in south florida mainly alot of mud down here but I just want to be able to just a day I feel like just riding to go mudding just put it in 4x4 and have fun...man I havent even gone off roading yet amd so anxious to g but I want to make sure I have the cad fixed before I ride ouout and then get stuck because 4wd doesnt work...

Cool so its not worth the 160$ for posi lock and just do the c~clip fix on the cad

Has anyone here tried the posi lock system? I know we have a link here with the cad fiz but wouldnt a locked front axle give more wear and tear and consume more gas? For more drag?

Yeah that pics looks real nice...i mean aslong as it cools because I was at the drive through on friday and I was waiting for a while and the jeep just.startef heating up I have a new thermostat new waterpump new radiator and new antifreeze and my fan clutch is in great shape...idk wouldnt understand wjy it would heat up like that....but when I'm driving the temp drops tremendously...amd just got a new sensor....have u guys heard about the ford tauris fan being in the jeep?

Hey guys Ive heard about taking out the clutch fan and putting an electric.fan whats the benefita to tjat amd what fans would fit in my jeep..... Its an 4cyl 2.5 swb 4x4

Ok awesome...well that has to wait now lOl my alternator crapped out on me time to buy a high power one but sweet deal on the discount

Hey red rocker.... How much was the idle speed control sender? I'm having the same problem you had with it idle

What wheels and tires do u have on there now? A buddy if mine had an89 2.5 and the steel wheels that he had on there were bent and caused serious wheel wobble...ended changing upto alumunum wherls and fixed the problem

Oooooohhhhh! :bowdown: ....you guys are awesome.....also another question how fast is the fastest I can go? With the locked cad?

Ok so when I do this procedure the only time itll be in 4wd if I chnge it from the transfercase lever right? So that when its in 2wd the transfercase is not moving.... Sorry I'm off road literate I'm.still learning

Does that allow the diff to be full time 4wd or temp like when I go offroading?

Hey guys I wanted to know how do you diagnose 4wheel drive...I mean I tried putting my truck into 4wd but idk if it works I tried messing with some loose dirt but I don't think the front axle is in 4wd....or could it be the command trac? Could anyone lead me in the right direction...sorry first jeep and 4x4 still trying to learn the kinks before I really go crazy and get stuck somewhere when the truck is ready for off roading :wrench:

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28404....it's in this project build...it's not as flush as the original handle

Sorry...it's in project mjs....idk how to place a link on the Page still learnIng the kinks

Cheek the project forum for the dirteater thin wallet build shows I think the first or second page about the s10 tail gate handle

:wrench: :cheers: :banana:

Thanks I aprreciate it

Well that's what I've trying to do but I've been going to go to an independent parts store which is the middle man for advance auto parts and auto zone and pep boys but it seems like the sales rep doesn't know what coolant sender to get I've been fortunate enough to know what the oil pressure sender looks like with pics here off the forum but no luck with the coolant sender

Hey guys I wanted to know what's the difference the coolant temperature sender for the dummy lights and for the One for the gauge cluster...if Anything if you could give me the part number to the one for the gauges? Thanks guys any help is helpful... :thumbsup: :bowdown: :wrench:
