    Need to read error codes from my Mercury Verado

    My Mercury Verado isn't running right and I need to read out the error codes. Does anyone have one of the marine code readers I could borrow or bring the boat to ? I looked online and the prices were crazy.

    72 CJ5 water pump issue

    I would have to see if I can find where to have on rebuilt. Another thought is to shim everything out 1/4 of an inch but I would have to see if that's possible.

    72 CJ5 water pump issue

    I went looking for the 8122307 part and nobody has one, out of stock or no longer manufactured. I guess I'll be looking for the newer parts.....

    72 CJ5 water pump issue

    Yes the measurement I get from the gasket mounting surface to the fan hub is roughly 4.5" but since there is an old gasket on there 4.438 sounds about right. If the only option costs $347 I think I my friend would be better off finding the parts needed to swap to the newer parts. maybe then we...

    72 CJ5 water pump issue

    Thanks for the reply. I went to the quadratec site and people asked about the length. The length they gave is what the newer ones are. On a lot of other sites when I read the reviews for the GMB 110-2908 lots of people said they were too long for the application. I have a 77 pump and the 72 pump...

    72 CJ5 water pump issue

    My friend's 72 CJ5 lost its water pump after all these years so I went to pick one up at AutoZone. They didn't even have one listed for that year so I grabbed one for a 77 thinking all 304 AMC engines are the same. Well I was wrong. I took the new pump up to his ranch this morning to swap it but...

    It has the truck pan but I can change out later if it becomes an issue.

    Don't drag your Jeep

    My neighbor had his XJ towing behind his motor home coming back from a trip to the Swell when a couple of miles from home he lost the left front wheel. He dragged it for a while before someone flagged him down. Now its in my driveway getting fixed. It took out the steering knuckle, rotor, and...

    CJ8 with LS swap

    Well I am finally almost done with my LS swap in my old CJ8. I fired it up yesterday and it started on the first try. So far everything seems to be working as expected but I haven't driven it yet due to a dead Jeep parked behind it. I know I should have been better at taking pictures along the...

    MP4 files ?

    I tried to attach an mp4 video and it doesn't appear to be supported. Am I missing something or do I need to convert it to some other format ?

    Feedback on replacement seats

    You can use Grand Cherokee seats, they bolt right up and are more comfy. We've done it to several of our Jeeps. I used full electric ones in my Jeep and I can tip the seat when going downhill so I can see better.

    Looking to buy a 410 pistol.. Your thoughts?

    I have the Judge and like it however the pattern spreads very quickly. As far as killing snakes I found this on the wildlife.gov site: Rattlesnakes are protected under Utah law, making it illegal to harass or kill one. The only exception to this is if you are threatened and defending yourself...

    CJ front axle... build?

    The one listed on KSL was for a 78 F150 axle. If you noticed they didn't show any pictures of the driver's side of the axle because those axles have the radius arm mount cast into the center section making it very difficult to shorten on that side. 76-77 F150 are good to go as are some of the...

    CJ front axle... build?

    I have a narrowed Chevy 44 that was under my CJ8. Its the same width as the later Waggy 44. It is low pinion but the knuckles have been rotated for better caster angle and higher pinion.

    For Sale Shop manuals

    I am starting to go through a bunch of old stuff that I picked up from my son in law's granddad who was a Jeep mechanic at Hayes Brothers from the 50s to the 80s. I have usually seen the Haynes manuals go for $15 on KSL. The factory manuals go for quite a bit more on eBay. Before I go that route...
