Diesel in a CJ? Interesting. If he did the work work himself, BZ to him. As far as air compressors, a belt (engin) driven compressor will out perform any portable electric compressor on the market. But, with a engin driven compressor, it takes a little more work to use it. It's has to be...

1044993 Bucklahoo, A relay is nothing more that a remote switch. It has a coil that, when energized by 12vdc, the coil pulls a connector (switch) closed,(Normally open) and at the same time Opens a contact (for normally closed) The contacts on the switch part of the relay are rated pretty...

1044996 I doubt your alternator is 117A on a 4 cyl.! At best maybe 63A thats normal. Maybe as high as 75A if you have A/C. As long as the engin is running, you won't hurt the alternator with the lamps on. [addsig]

1044997 I would strongly advise NOT drilling into the windshield for anything! It may sound like a neat idea right now, but after time, the windshield will rot away from it! The holes will leak, no matter how well you may "goob" them up with sealant. Eventually, you'll have problems. If...

1045000 Your transfer case will be the Dana 300. It's fill plug is located on the back side left of the output shaft. The drain is at the bottom. Yes, it has it's own fluid supply. As far as making the T/C easier to shift, use will do that. The issue here is that most of the time the...

1063066 Unless your planning a motor swap, (to a V8) in the CJ you should go with a TJ. Stick with fuel injection. [addsig]

1063067 Unless the price is very reasonable, tell you friend to keep shopping. Let me ask this. What does your friend plan to do with this 71' CJ-5? Does he/she plan on rebuilding it? Making it a "mudder"? A rock crawler? Simple trail runner? The area he/she live in, is a heater a...

1063069 Yes they can be used for air compressors. I installed one on my jeep 19yrs ago, and its still going strong! A tank will be necessary if you want to run air tools, but if you just need to inflate tires, the compressor will do that with out a tank. Tanks can be ordered on-line, or you...

1063819 I did it, the best addition I've done to my motor! I had the motor rebuilt, and then added the MPI kit fresh. You won't be dissapointed! I posted a few pictures on my jeeps.com web site. www.jprtroy.jeepz.com hopefully that'll work. When my install was finished, I noticed that the...

1063821 I was gonna add, a winch, but see that's alrady there. Okay, then, don't forget about the on-board air, the heat exchanger (for hot showers) on-board welder. Bombproof motor mounts, toss that weber, for fuel injection! good luck with your build-up [addsig]

1059287 Only thing I'd add to Brokejeep's procedure is to start with the wheel that's farthest from the master cylinder. The chiltions or haynes may state this. You might look into getting one of the "hand Pump" vacuum bleeder systems. They make bleeding the lines so much easier...

1059292 Death Valley was figgin picturesquete (s)? We camped in Panamint Valley (next one next to Death Valley) We had a nice time while there. You'll enjoy it [addsig]

1059293 I've done it. Probably 18yrs ago now! Still using it! :-D Still runs & operates great! While wheeling up in elevation, the pop-off valve (set at 150psi) occasionally blows off excess pressure due to elevation changes. First couple times, scares some stuff into my shorts! Big...

1059295 For those who don't have lockers and want them, this is all good. But, don't expect that a locker alone in the rear will prevent you from gettin REALLY stuck again! Sure, a locker will help you get through some stuff that you'd get stuck in/on with an open, but locker can and will...

1059296 I've seen first hand what granite can do to differential covers! How bad rocks can tear up, rip holes into them! Steel covers can be "pounded" out and welded shut if needed. These clear covers, you smack them hard enough, you migh not be able to seal them up. Go through some deep...

1059297 For Astronomy, we have a saying for the first time one uses a new scope to look at the night sky, it's called "First light". Congradts on your "first Dirt! :lol: [addsig]

1059606 If you choose to get a new temp sending unit, be sure to bring your old one in to verify the new sending unit's length. The mounting hole for the sending unit is very shallow, and some sending unit have a longer shaft than the stock one. You might not be able to screw it in. edited...

1059608 As long as you don't live in California you might be able to. But if you need to smog it, good luck. [addsig]

1059609 Check the connector at the transmission, maybe it's been ripped off during a recent trip? [addsig]

1059612 Oh yea, it's been done. Many a posts about it. I did mine up almost 15yrs ago. You can get A/C pump brackest from junk yards, from jeep vehicles that had A/C they'll bolt right up to the block over the alternator. Or you can get complete kits from a few different places. The kits...
