    bubble in my block from draining my radiator?

    When I burp my jeep I get it warm with the radiator cap off then squeeze the main radiator hoses and watch the top for bubbles or the level dropping. Some people will also fill the radiator with one of the heater hoses off slightly, or the thermostat housing loose so that air can escape. As soon...

    need a little help(brake prob)

    I agree with air in the system, if the master cylinder were leaking the pedal would slowly go to the floor while under pressure.

    This is worth it.... isn't it????

    The GMC and Chev auto one tons from 80-91 used the th400 and a 205. I have that setup in my 85. I also have the same setup that came from an 86 as spares for my 85. As far as I know the 208 and 203 were not used in these years for the one tons. If you can find a 1980 Chev, all automatic 4x4s had...

    Who would you recommend for an engine swap?

    I can help you with that. Did they use the 97 xj engine wiring harness and computer or an aftermarket harness ? If they used the 97 harness and computer it is a bit more complicated but can still be made to work. If they kept the stock cj instrument panel the voltage guage just needs to be...

    Who would you recommend for an engine swap?

    I just did this in my 84 scrambler. Everything bolts up well. I used a TJ motor and XJ injection and wiring. The xj wiring and fuel lines fit well into a scrambler, I didn't even have to re-drill the holes for the fuse block connector. I also used the XJ interior wiring and steering column so...

    Who drinks, who doesn't/ and state why.

    When I was 19 I worked several days a week next to a train station where we always had a drunk show up to find food in the trash bins. He would hold his bottle in one hand and dig with the other, and when he found anything that remotely looked like food he would eat it. In the five months I was...

    Lengthening driveshafts

    I would find some drivelines that are longer than you need and shorten them. It is a lot cheaper than lengthening one. How long do you need ? I have some longer ones from wagoneers and my scrambler that might work for you. Dave

    Small engine repair

    I fix small engines once in a while and when I have tried to buy Homelite parts I have been told that they are out of business and the parts are no longer available. I have had to resort to taking parts off of other saws and modifying them to fix my Homelite. I have seen some internet sites...

    straight 6 from v 6 swap

    I did this swap om my 86. It is possible but requires a lot of work. You will need a donor cherokee because you will need to swap all of the wiring, motor mounts, gas tank, radiator, and radiator support structure, hood (if you use the newer style radiator stuff), and the bell housing. You also...

    Hydra-boost Questions??

    My 85 1 ton chevy came with this setup stock. It works very well. A couple of summers ago we were fully loaded pulling a boat to Flaming Gorge and just outside of Mountain View a dog ran across the street. I was able to lock up the wheels and stop the rig from 60 MPH and miss the dog. I left...

    RattleSnake/Constrictor 4-23

    Em, You missed a fun trip. Next time you have to come out with us and bag the sorority stuff. You still win the family prize for ruining stuff with your rear trackbar bracket but Jim messed up the front swaybar. He didn't put on front swaybar disconnects when he put the lift in his TJ. He was...

    RattleSnake/Constrictor 4-23

    I would have liked to see your xj go up waynes world. We were out there a few hours before you testing out my sons 87 MJ that he has been building. He was able to do rattlesnake without any trouble and then we went up to waynes world and watched a group of Samurais try to go up. We had to leave...

    A little help, please?

    Em, There are two oxygen sensors on your TJ. One in front of the catalytic converter and one after it. They are easy to swap out. I have a spare sensor that goes after the catalytic but Dan snagged the other one for his TJ. I think he still has his old one which had some wires bared from...
