    oil gauge

    I have a strange issue with my oil pressure gauge that's been going on for a while. When engine is cold it shows pressure, after it warms up goes to zero. I can rev the motor and it will go up. Its basically all or nothing. I have replaced the sender and the gauge, and made sure the sender is...

    79 cj7 steering

    No long shackles.( Stock). I have checked the steering shaft, feels ok. Top and bottom. The jeep does run straight but its the left, right to keep it going straight is where the problem comes about, because its tight to move, it stays going the direction you steer. even if it is a slight amount...

I feel like this is why it drives the way it does, if you move the wheel left or right a slight amount it continues to...

    79 jeep 4 wheel issues

    I think I have a possible problem with my 79 cj7. For starters I don't have much experience with 4 wheel/ axle,hub lockers. Here's the problem at hand. I feel like it's not locking the front wheels. I bought this jeep last spring, played with it once in the yard, got all 4 to dig into the...
