    Side effects of a clogged cat?

    Another test to perform is a check to make sure the engine doesn't have an exhaust leak exhaust into the coolant from a head gasket leak. This kind of leak will cause it to overheat also. A radiator shop like JMac can do the test. Also make sure you don't have any air pockets in the coolant. My...

    trailer lights

    The driving light feed is common to both sides but the turn/brake feed is a seperate wire for each side. If you have lost both left and right sides either both left and right bulbs have lost the same filament, there is a problem with the signal feed or you lost the ground wire connection. The...

    Selectable locker?

    I have Eaton Elockers in my jeep (d44 axles) and they work great. My son in law has one in the back of his xj and it works well for him but the ected in his front 30 has given him a lot of trouble.

    Day trip recomendations from Moab?

    When we went down a couple of weeks ago we did elephant hill and really enjoyed it. The trail is challenging but not real bad and the scenery is great. We also did poison spider and fins and things. Fins and things is a good one that is close to town and a good warm up to some of the other...

At dinner we downed about 6 pitchers of ice water even though we drank plenty of water on the trail. Saturday was a bit cooler for...

    fuse blowing

    I would start by disconnecting the radio completely and check to see if the fuse keeps on blowing. If it does blow disconnect anthing else on the acc fused line. Since it blows when the lights are on look for shorts on the park light and dash circuits.

    Murdock Basin is open

    The turn off is between the Soapstone road and the Trial lake turn off on the Mirror Lake highway. I should have brought the camera but I forgot it. Where we ended up had a great view of the primitive area and Mount Agassiz.

    charging system woes

    My brother had a rig that acted like it wasn't charging/starting well and he cleaned the battery terminals, replaced the alternator and the battery and still it wouldn't work right. What I found when he gave up and brought it over was that the main positive lead from the battery was corroded...

    Jeep 4.0 in 81 cj

    The 2004 does have the different ignition system but I believe you can put an older system on it which (will be easier to do than the newer wiring). I just put a 2001 motor in my 96 zj, it had the newer ignition system and I swapped the older distributor and wiring onto it. There are some...
