Anyone every try one of the Hi-Flow or Hi-Cool water pumps? Have a slight heating problem when I am on the interstate and get my ol'girl up around 70. Would one of the thermostats they sell at Quadratec help? I cannot remember the name of the thermostat right off hand. Thanks

could a leak at my exhaust manifold cause my engine to lose power? I am running with a 258 I6.

Possible to put reclining seat in CJ5? What benefits can I gain from replacing my old rockers and push rods?

Just wondering if anyone has done this with any success. I realize you can put a reclining seat in a CJ5, but has anyone found a way to make room behind the seat for it to recline? Also, has anyone tried moving the drivers seat back any? I am 6'4" and love driving my CJ5, but it would be more...

That is what I hear. My sister-in-law has a 2002 TJ and only gets 13mpg with the I6. Tug, do not know what the secret is. Bought my girl almost 1 year ago and I have not made any major engine adjustments as of yet. I am planning on ditching the Carter BBD ASAP. I was just curious what...

fuel mileage in my '81 Cj5 - 18-20 mpg, is this good? I currently have a '81 CJ5 with a 258 I6 but would like to get a little more power. Was thinking of upgrading to a 304, are the benefits worth the expense? Are there any tricks I can do to my 258 to give me a little more power? I know I...

Just wondering if my 18-20 mpg in my '81 CJ5 is decent or is there something I can do to improve it? I am running a 258 I6 and ahve 31's on her. She is mostly all stock except for replacement parts.

My '81 cj5 w/258 I6 oil pressure runs at around 55-60 at start up and then falls to around 20-25. It is pretty constant, thank god. I am like Tug, but I check my oil everyday before I head home from work just to be safe. Then again I do have a slight oil leak from somewhere. I have read...

Getting ready to replace my shocks and after looking it seems I need to know how much lift my '81 CJ5 has before I buy the shocks. Problem is, how can I tell? Bought the jeep used about a year ago so if it has any lift, I did not do it. I am currently running 31's with no clearance problems...

Thinking about switching my CJ5 to an automatic trans., is this possible? If so, what should I look for? This is for an '81.

Just got my new clarion marine grade stereo today. Question is, were all jeeps wired with the same wiring harness? I mean, should there be a hookup for a radio even if the jeep does not have one? If not, no problem. One more question, which wire is constant hot and which is the "accessory...

Am looking for the following: 3.73 gears for my Dana 30 front axle, must be in good shape roll bar pad to fit a CJ5, black is possible stock CJ fender flares, in good shape swing away tire carrier that will hold 31's any other items that would fit a CJ5. Will pay reasonable price for all...

Got an aluminum valve cover to replace the plastic stock cover. Went to install and found out that 3 of the holes are not tapped at all. The holes on the drivers side and the rear hole are just that, holes, no threads at all. Was thinking of using heli-coil to take care of this. Anyone ever...

Just completed my blazer blower upgrade Sunday. On the way to work this morning I noticed that my amp gauge was staying around 12 amps. Normally it will be around 14-16, except when I use my cig. lighter, then it drops to 12. But with the new blower going it was running steady at 12. Is this...

Never having had a YJ, I guess I cannot make an honest comment on your situation. I wanted a jeep for a long time and did not want one of the newer ones due the the solid construction of the older models. I paid only $1000 for my '81 CJ5 and put about another $600 into her to make her road...

During my blazer blower upgrade, I discovered that my firewall needs attention. Is there a cure besides a new body? It is only in certain spots, like around the heater drain and blower motor. Any help?

FINISHED!!! Not as bad as it looked like it was going to be. Found a few more items my jeep needs. Any one have a problem with the blazer blower pulling too much power from your battery? Turned mine on and the amp gauge went down to 10, normally stays up around the red. Anyway, thanks for...

I started this morning with the blazer heater upgrade. Removed the battery and tray, ready to go. Only thing holding me up is, how do I remove the old blower motor? I cannot seem to figure out how to remove the heater housing that is keeping the fan and blower from coming out. Any help...

Anyone know who still has the "fast back" style soft top? I am looking for a new top and kind of like the look of these, just cannot find any?

Does anyone know if Autozone or Advance stocks the drain plug for the AMC 20? Mine is badly stripped and it is over due for a fluid change. Thanks PS... my jeep got a blazer heater upgrade for Christmas and a $200 gift card to Autozone. Going today to spend most of it.
