you should put that question in the tech forum so more eyes will see it. :L:  (not everyone peruses the build threads)

Thanks Pete! here is the most recent picture of the Turbo setup! I’ll have a video here soon. I need to upload it to Youtube in order to post it here! 6a9eba7ac1764826a98eb13ed478a16d.jpg

Here was the accident I was in in the Jeep back in July, the area I live in was flooded and the road collapsed under a train trussel I was unaware of. The department of transportation in my state had cleared all roads safe to drive in that area! Long story short it flipped and I had to jump out mid flip Not a fun day! Here are the results:

I think the Cosmetic Rollbar Coated with Line- X saved the back side of the cab and the rear window! I’m waiting for more Jeep funds to get the body work redone!

Advice to fix a Waterlogged 4.0L

After the accident I drained all of the fluids from everything that could hold fluid and filled them with Diesel, including taking the plugs out and filling the cylinders with diesel. Differentials I filled with 10/30.

After being pissed off for a month, I drained all of the diesel and put the proper fluids back in (including differentials)

The Jeep started right up with new plugs, the only thing that needed replaced was the throttle positioning sensor.

Random things stop working daily, mostly electrical. I’m recently having a fuel cut out problem and the CEL came on.

I’m sure I will continue to have issues until everything gets slowly replaced!

Sorry for the long post, I haven’t been on here in some time!

holy crap!  :eek:  the roads were all fine, except for that truck-swallowing pothole full of water.  ya know, except for that one little thing. 

 

yeah, so I would need the Dept of Transportation to buy me a new Comanche...  :fistshake2:

where are you?  I gotta imagine that would normally be crushed with the truck at a junkyard so I gotta imagine you just need to find the nearest MJ in a yard and the roof will be yours. :D

but some must die so that others can live. :L:

I ended up finding a donor MJ on Facebook Marketplace and picked it up for cheap today! 784f43d04ae1438b504db4382b86a5d4.jpg

 

Any idea the story behind this carcass? Truck looks familiar.

That’s a big bummer about the road. Your truck was so nice but you can get it back to where it was. The turbo sure sounds cool.

Much appreciated!

Agreed! I’d sacrifice a Mclaren for this bad boy though it’s to sentimental!

not yet.  buy the longest sawzall blade you can and cut up high above the body line.  then cut the floors inside of the door plane.  be mindful of underneath, as there are some braces that you might want to avoid.  or at least want to be aware of so that you don't bind up the blade.  a 10 or 12" blade makes quick work of it.  a standard 6" blade will leave you frustrated and needing more blades.

nice!  :L:   any power boosts?

Not measurable, it seems to run a lot better with the cooler air going in! The new cab should be on by the end of October and then it’s going to get tuned for boost!
