Just a suggestion since I don't remember if it was ever mentioned with regards to this whistling problem on your YJ . Has the weather stripping between the windshield frame and cowl been checked ? I say this because if air has been getting in between the frame and cowl , it may be causing a ram...

Hey aamir ! What's up !

It's funny , but yes , oil leaks do coat surfaces and slow or prevent rust. On the other hand , the opposite has occurred due to the ability of the oil trapping dirt and moisture causing corrosion. A clean surface obviously is always best. As far as the brake line routing , the rear line comes...

yes sir , that the hydraulic hard line . Right above it is the bleeder screw . Be careful when it comes time to open the bleeder screws , they always freeze up from rust . Clean the threads that are visible well and wet them down with penetrating oil and let it soak in a good while . Clean out...

BTW , yes , the thick cable like lines going into the backing plate below the axle tube are your parking brake cables . The hydraulic line(s) will be your fluid lines into the wheel cylinders . I did not re-read my first post in this thread to see if I mentioned my preferred method to loosening...

Hopefully it's just the crimp on the hydraulic hose that is leaking . Please inspect the hard line above the crossmember ( difficult to see from the photo , probably more difficult to access , sorry ) for any corrosion and/or leaks . Spraying brake fluid from a leak over time causes decay of the...

Your most welcome mr. Turbogus ! Hope this is helpful to you . Since we never saw a follow up from the member who started the thread , we'll never know if was helpful to that member. May you fare well on your repair sir. Will look for your posting and pic's .

In my last post , I said the oil pump is bolted to the main cap . That is incorrect . On an in-line engine , it's bolted to the block where it accesses the oil gallery . Must have had a V8 on my mind. Sorry for the wrong info. Recently , I just installed a rear main seal in my 258 and found it...

If anyone needs a proper fitting installation tool to make clutch installation easier , the company to contact is KINGSBORNE Wire Werks Inc . www.kingsborne.com . Also found at ClutchTools.com . They have an easy navigable site which makes finding the aligning tool for your application quick ...

Well , as it turns out , the ignition coil was the weak link. I was thinking to approach this step by step to verify actual voltage response from both the RUN and START ( cranking ) at the coil positive post to eliminate or isolate a possible fault there before moving to the secondary ignition ...

Well , it looks like the GPW and the wrangler YJ are best of friends ! I would like to see both compete on some hill climbing . Although the wrangler has a reputation that is hard to beat off road , my money is on the GPW !

Verify ignition coil positive post is hot in CRANK and START . This will tell you if there is a fault in the ignition switch on the steering column. A test light will be suffice.

To be clear , you've had the head of a screw from the choke valve fall into the intake ? While destructive enough to an intake valve facing and small enough to get caught in a piston ring ( possibly) , I don't see how the ignition timing would have jumped 180 degrees out. Did you pull the...

Thank you for your hard work , dedication and commitment to salvage members postings for the benefit of the forum . Much appreciated .

Agreed , there really isn't any quick way since the caliper piston is frozen and a conventional C - clamp won't handle it . Ball joint C-press may cause destruction . The outer edge of the rotor can be ground with a die grinder since your swapping them but reaching the inner edge of the rotor...

All hail Chrysler , Daimler , Fiat or whatever they call themselves these days . Just remember , the jeep was born inside our borders . Even though i opted to start my own thread on the jeep concepts , by the end of this reading , you"ll find blog more fitting. Seven new concept jeeps will debut...

Perhaps he would have been better to brag of all the places he was pulled at ! LOL . I think your crew must have dubbed him " Commander Mcbragg " .

Hi aamir ! Thanks for the awesome videos ! Sorry I didn't see them sooner . Just had to let you know how much I appreciate them . Thanks ! I love seeing that GPW kick up clouds of dust . I'll bet you top a lot of jeeps in your club and are one tough guy to beat off-road with that awesome machine...

Some after thoughts are is the distributor vacuum advance receiving the correct signal from the float bowl port and not a throttle plate port ? Are the centrifical weights hung up or the return springs loose ? Base gasket vacuum leak ? Any vacuum leaks ? A vacuum gauge reading must be sought on...

Hello and welcome to jeepz.com. Since your temp gauge isn't working was just wondering if your fuel gauge was . They work as a pair on the CJ and should be replaced as a pair as well. That sometimes presents problems with the fuel tank sending unit in terms of compatability for accurate ( or...
