robfg67 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I currently work at a dealership and we have just begun killing the engines in the clunkers. The process involves draining the engine oil, adding 2 quarts of liquid silicone glass to the engine, and then running the engine until it fails. Most engines last just under a minute but the 4.0 runs for just over 3 minutes befores she quits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 We are in the process of doing our too, and from what I hear, one of the ones they had trouble killing... wouldnt quit, was the 1986 Wagoneer 2.8 V6. The thing just kept going! I guess the tolerances in that one was soo loose that all that liquid glass just passes by the bearings. Who knows?

Automan2164 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 When I did my free carfax on the '90, it showed that there was a '91 MJ for sale a town over, and I called on it. The salesman said he couldn't find it in inventory, and that is was probably a CFC donor. :fs1: Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Automan2164 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I just stopped by the loacl route 14 junkyard by my work. I ran into an old member (rebeljeeper1) I believe. His name is mike, and he has one of the cleanest late model eliminators ever. He frequented the group a ton when it was still on the yahoo board. He remembers Pete, and just said hes been busy. I told him to visit again. I also ran into the guy I sold my cop car to (works at the junkyard) and he told me to give him my number, and I will get the first heads up on any comanches coming in to the yard. :brows: Here is a pic of mikes truck for those who have never seen it: (Mike I hope you don't mind) He just re-did it a few years ago, and got THE LAST set of factory OE eliminator decals. Also got one of the last mopar carpet sets, and a bunch of other things. I hope he comes back to visit... He had it parked where they usually park C4C cars :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: , I just about had a baby until I realized that it wasn't scheduled for the axe. Talk about a heart attack. If his truck would have been C4C'd, I'd have murdered someone. Luckily, He said he would most likely never sell it. :thumbsup: Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Automan2164 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Nice truck. :drool: Not so nice camera. :dunno: It would have been a better pic, but it was my camera phone, and I was still shaking because I was still in "screaming teenage girl" mode after seeing it up close. What can I say.... Its a nice truck, and it turned me into a crack addict staring at the biggest score of his life. :nuts: Rob L. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
