scguy Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 Well, I was bidding on a Mishimoto radiator and fan setup on eBay and lost by $2.00. Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 if it makes ya feel any better, you might also have lost by 1000 bucks. no way to know what the max bid of the winner was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 After a bit of wrenching last night, I have functioning cruise control! My trim piece that runs under the back window has rattled and bothered me always. I rectified that by placing an Oring between the plastic push pins and the body.

scguy Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 A coworker called me from a local scrap metal yard and asked if I needed a Comanche tailgate. I said, absolutely. $30, definitely worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scguy Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Installed my new radiator, went with a cheap Spectra for now, heard good things about them. If it just doesn't cut it, I'll buy a Mishimoto. Also installed my 97+ wiper arms and new wiper blades along with my Dirtbound Off-road battery hold down bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 Received my 3/4" coil spacers so that the front isn't quite as much lower than the rear after heavy ARB bumper and SOA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 Sent my fan controller in to Nick and had it updated to run the new 1/8 NPT temp sensor. Ordered a new MTS HO fuel sending unit and pump. Looking forward to that! My pump left me stranded once. Kinda odd. I could hear it cutting in and out, but I got home by jumping the ballast resistor.

scguy Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 Well, I drove MJ for about a half hour then drove to the shop to install my new MTS HO fuel pump / sending unit and it shut off in the driveway of the shop. Could hear the fuel pump running (Airtex problems) but had no spark/injector pulse. Of course, by the time I got my labscope hooked up to the CKP, it fired right up. The MTS unit fits and works great and is silent. I'm planning to take it to a Cars and Coffee in Augusta,GA Saturday with my boy, so I want to make sure it's running right. I ordered a new crank sensor and it flashed a code 21 for the oxygen sensor, so I ordered a new O² sensor also. NTK for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 How accurate is your fuel gauge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 So far, dead on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Haven't done much. Loaned out my Pilot for the forseeable future, so the MJ is the DD every day. I'm so tired of rubbing when turning, so I finally broke down and ordered Core 4x4 adjustable control arms to push the axle front a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Pretty new parts. Got the 0.75" spacers and adjustable arms on Saturday while battling sickness. No more rubbing when turning! On a down note, I filled up my truck the other day when the gas light came on and it only took 13 gallons, so I'm guessing the MTS sending unit is off somewhat. I don't need a 10 gallon remaining warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scguy Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 I've been struggling with a vibration over 50mph ever since I went SOA and added the 8.8. Apparently, it was in the front driveshaft. Now that I have adjustable arms, I can try to dial in the pinion angle a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scguy Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 Thanks to @Dzimm, I have a beautiful TFC bezel for my center console, and he was a genius that kept support for the emergency override switch that's located on the top of the TFC.

89 MJ Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I think I’ve got the nice dash bezel that matches it. I might sell it, but I kept it wanting to trade it for a silver one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
