I actually pulled the starter first to I'd the engine. DOZE-6015-A block. I am getting so close to pulling the engine. I still have to get my new pry bar on the flywheel teeth. I'm cautiously optimistic because something is really frozen. I'm starting to think that I'll break something, but...

Oh, one more thing... I have heard of bad grounds causing things like this. Where the engine bonds to the chassis, sometimes the connection is compromised because proper surface prep was not done, I.e., they attached onto a painted surface. Very easy fix...sand down to bare mettle finish. Clean...

Hi all, I hear you, and having various vehicles and troubles with same. Man, that's a tough one. It sure sounds like fuel filter, but electronics tend to have trouble with heat. However, anything electronic can be tested. Well, anything can be tested, just something to consider before "repair...

Sometimes I wish I had a Wrangler.....NOT. Too much fun reviving my CJ5 beast.

Well, didn't quite get it out of the e garage. I noticed the tires were low, so I fired up my compressor to take care of; However, when I tried to air up the tires I found the cores all gunked up. Down to the auto store for new cores and a tool to r&r. Oh, plus some shiny new caps. So, I did get...

Oh, I will get some pictures once she is outside. Gonna be some dirty pictures, so be careful showing children. Lol!!

Somewhat at a standstill. I took my breaker bar and a cheater. I put enough pressure to unseize, however the crank bolt just tightened some with no engine movement. My next trick is to, well gotta roll jeep out of garage and cleanup diesel spill. I read about putting the moves on the flywheel...

Awesome, I haven't got to my clutch on my 55 cj5. Trying to get engine unsized. I'll probably set up a hydraulic system when I get there.

We used to go up to forresthill. Take the Cool hill turnoff. At the bottom stay left instead of turning right towards the town of Cool. Follow for awhile... you're looking for Finneymill Rd. Take that road. It used to go back in where we could camp and trail ride. It's close and fun, provided...

Holy cow!! I was going to brag about my '70 boss 302 in my '55 CJ5. But, I have to pick my jaw up off the floor after reading your post. I am just trying to build a really good crawler. I'm putting an NP-435 four speed .....6.6:1 first gear , with 2.64:1 transfer case ratio, and 5.38:1...

So long as it, the clutch, is fully disengaging and engaging there isn't any obvious urgency. If the peddle comes a good inch or two off the floor before engaging, it sounds ok. Is there any chattering, or difficulty of transmission's shifting through the gears- that is next question. Let's...

Ran out of diesel, got some more tonight. Will add some more tomorrow. Slowly but surely. It looks like one week has turned into two. It will probably never be as nice looking as your Wrangler, but it should wheel pretty good. How are things on the east coast? Chat soon

Wow, I really enjoyed checking out your Wrangler upgrades. I'm still trying to unseize engine. I have a 4" lift kit on a shelf in my garage...new springs, shocks, boots. I also purchased a NP 435 four speed transmission to swap out the stock T-90. It needs rebuilding. I'm hoping to restore the...

Hi all, Tom Clabough here. I'm currently working on my first real jeep...a1955 CJ-5. I had it trailered from Northern California to here, Temecula. Long story of how I acquired her, but she's mine now. It was left out for past 20 plus years, and the engine is seized up. So, it's my new jeep and...

I would start with fuses and relays. Oh, I see you found the problem...awesome. I've been an electrician for over 30 years, but when it comes to low voltage stuff (12v etc.) that's the first place I check. That is when most other stuff looks fine. Oh, make sure you have a nice clean metal to...
