eaglescout526 Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Guess the radiator is now showing it’s age. Had a good three year run with it when I got all the AC stuff. Waiting on the new one to come in to swap the old one out and do some cleaning/maintenance while I’m in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 Radiator swap went off without a hitch. Got the new one in. Crowns model is accurate to the T except the radiator cap. Looks like they designed it to probably fit their caps which doesn’t surprise me. So I broke out the dremel to make sure my AMC radiator cap would fit on the radiator. All is good. No leaks which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 New Jack instructions installed. Emissions label should follow soon! Thanks @SoCalJeepComanche these are fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 havent done much, attended a couple car shows and still havent done the new labels yet. But thats not the reason for this post. Apparently the retainer for the shifter finally had it and broke. Luckily I still had Chunks assembly with the broken threads laying around. Spent 30min separating both handles, swapped the retainer rings over and now were back in business....but for how long is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Damn. Its been a bit huh. Well she still lives. Duh, runs like a champ. But im here today to show this gem: My key in chime failed. Ok thats fine. Ill order a new switch for the column cause that usually brakes from the stress. Plot twist. The switch isnt broke. Ok thats weird. Did some power tracing. Found I had no power, weird. Found a popped fuse. I think I did that when the switch contacted the column. Replaced it, still nothin. Ok. Busted out the MJ electrical manual. Found the chime circuit, went to the dome lamp as well. Decided to take the switch out and found the 40 year old switch is broke. Alright, thanks for your service switch. Dug out my NOS one, put it in and We are back in business with a new switch too. That is all. I need to add some stickers to her from boxyjeep still. Been lazy.

Been lazy. Oh man, I wonder if that's the mysterious source of my ignition chime module not working. I was welding in the door hinges last weekend and I removed the door ajar switches so nothing melted. I cleaned up the terminals on the door ajar switches with a fiberglass pen and applied ox-guard for good measure. After everything cooled off, I assembled everything and for the first time, I head a buzzing sound when I put the key in the ignition and turned the cylinder. It did it about 3 times and then I could not replicate it. Crazy. I wonder if it's the same point of failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually surprised as I have never removed my switches from the door jambs. But it looks like the nylon clip that holds the terminal to the switch has just failed to hold the terminal to the switch. I’d give it a look. Maybe soak it in some vinegar to remove any corrosion if it still is in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year I will post on both the Comanche groups on FB to get their butts out there. Love to reach out to the SJ, XJ and CJ guys too. And of course! Now I gotta replace the ebrake cable. Yay...
