>wont cold start.:( if i put a small ammount of fuel in the air intake it fires right up and runs fine. no sputtering or anything, if i let it warm up it is perfect, you can turn it off and start it back up just fine. but if it gets cold it wont start again. (good info gets good...

I have a question. suppose a Luddite wants to lean back a couple degress in time... How different are the blocks? my 95 2.5 still has the mechanical fuel pump boss in the casting suggesting it's been used for a while wearing different mustouches. I'm assuming you could go with an older...

before Europeans, owning N. American land was a moot point. it's entirely possible in 2011 to think different than social laws and penalties and still be in good graces with your conscience. I think there's a difference between spinning tires/making a mess like an immature pig and doing a...

its a war legacy... the Model T & VW Bug did the same thing. back then, if it was worth doing at all, it was worth doing well. value for the money. today, they want to sell a new sparklie every 7 years. rapper bling when the bottom falls out of society, where do your feet land? "can do" or...

it sounds like carboned stuck rings not expanding to seal the cylinder walls. it could also be valve seals. check your intake for carbon thru the breather check your radiator for oil in the water. pull a spark plug and check for water in the combustion chamber I assume with that consumption...

> I was wondering. Should I use 4 wheel drive on the streets? And any other tips for snowy driving would be appreciated, us guys in the northern snow chuckle when the south gets a dusting and freaks. a Jeep (even in hilly parts) will do most road winter stuff in 2wd just fine. 4wd is for...

did you try a hotter thermostat? make sure you have no air trapped in the heater core taking up space that could be hot water and the valve flows free better insulation and wind barrier

first is make sure your engine is being all it can be. fresh valves can do spunky wonders for compression. ...maybe oversize pistons to increase displacement after that it's get the air in and out efficiently with open pipes and a thirsty carb after that it's force more intake thru with a...

steering box green started out as 1/3qt of blue rustoleum I had laying around and I mixed some yellow into it. the dark green on the engine mounts was left over flat black in the bottom of a can I mixed the pre-mix green into for a commercial looking color. edit: just noticed the early pics...

I need front backing plates, bearing hub mount bolts (heads are iffy...I can torque them in but no guarrenty they'll come back off 10 years down the road), plastic slingers for the fr. axles. NAPA tells me they are dealer parts... I never walked away from a dealer happy, so anyone have an...

as winter nestles it's icy fingers into the bone marrow, here's the fall update. tho I intended to throw out the rusty gas tank skid/mount, my wife gave me that come hither look and said "Oh...you can fix that" so...since it was rusted ugly and didn't come out gracefully, I trimmed the bad...

> I'm interested in hearing from anybody that has done this repair or just wants to BS about it. I don't want to talk about it...that's all behind me now, ...and I'm healing... it's a process.

> it has a rhythm and goes away when rpm get higher when rpm get higher, so do the oil pressure, so it could be a sludgy lifter. look in your valve cover and see what the insides look like. my guess is you changed filters & oil religiously? a 3' piece of garden hose used as a stethoscope...

>1) do cars need to be winterized? my car has been in california for the past 5 years and i was under the impression i should change out my cold weather naive fluids, but i called a place for an estimate and the guy told me cars don't really need to be winterized? pull the tongue out of that...

Jeepster disguised as what?

about 10 years ago, my barn was broken into and they ripped me for 5K worth of drill press, radial saw, and a whole truck load of smaller hand tools. they didn't take the compressor I guess cause their truck was full. was a bad feeling of violation for quite a while. been sleeping with a shotgun...

check the engine and transmission mounts to see if the rubber to metal bond failed. (pry them with a crowbar or jack the weight off them) that kind if heavy chatter can be a broken pressure plate spring too... which would show up as clutch slip.

< my first Jeep Commando. It has excessive play in the steering, . There is no more adjustment in the adjusting bolt. Of course manual steering has some play but this is excessive. the steering gear is designed high in the middle (and gets adjusted there with slop at either side. If some peon...

capable economical fixable in the field when you stray from that KISS principal you lose wars and have Jettas instead of VW Bugs and Escalades posing as war machines.

click means the solenoid primary is getting juice to pull in the contacts, but the big amps aren't there (secondary) to turn the starter motor against load. could be a low battery (most likely if it hasn't been run regular) or a bad connection on the big wire will do that.
