Forgot to mention, he had me be there during the repair, explaining you had to get it that hot to correctly repair, then slowly cool it down for the weld to hold up. He was right. Done when I was a teenager, now I'm 63.

When I was in my teens, my father had a vice (auto garage was my grandfather and my father and his brothers business). It closed and my father got the vice along with his tools, etc. He showed me hot to do u-joints with the vice. A few years later I cracked the vice doing a u-joint. To put...

I don't know what the metal is on the axle. Can you weld something like a (1 1/2"x 2') angle that's 3/16" thick on each end (since you like to bend them on the outside of the spring). Do it on each side to strengthen the section that gets the pressure. That tree has more force then your 12...

Got this off Jeep Forum. This is Awesome video's. I want one. Thanks to John for finding it (Wife old friend that I check out what he's up to on his jeep)

I have the dakota digital on both my cj8 (single fan) and my work truck (2 fans). They work very well. Have the work truck set up so one fan comes on at 205 deg the other comes on at 215 deg. Only time both come on is on with a/c (controller turns both on for a/c) and maybe half a dozen times...

Was trying to find a cd like I have for the 82 manual. Bishko stopped at 2009. I purchased the mopar one (the one people are having trouble running on the newer windows computer. When it gets here I'll let you know if I can get it to Run. Rockauto also has a cd from another source which I...

I know some guys work on the newer wranglers. I've always been in the older cj group. I have a niece that's going to get her grandfathers 2012 wrangler. He passed and I've been elected to make the wrangler safe for her. I can't find a factory service manual anywhere. Even Bishko's last year...

WOW. I thought I had it bad with 2 258 engine builds, first only got around 2 thousand miles. Second wasn't built to specs (Even Larry at Clifford Performance sent a letter stating the engine was built for circle track racing). Ten thousand later I went with a Engine Factory engine, another 9...

Sorry, thought I posted it sold. Thanks.

The edelbrock ones the mechanic tried were composite and the same openings like this one. You saw the results in a little over 300 miles, 6 mths. I worry about the lack of bolts in the center of the intake. Oem reinforced this section in a rigid for a reason. From what I read the plastic...

This is the result of the edelbrock gasket set with less than 300 miles and just over 6 mths. Without the center bolts in the intake the intake doesn't seem to clamp down enough and allows the gasket to get sucked into the runner. You can see the movement of the gasket (2 gaskets bonded...

Back at my computer with pics. First set was the engine factory no name intake and their gaskets. These were removed in 2020. A edelbrock intake and edelbrock gasket set was installed.

On my cj7 - Cj8, I have a chevy 350 (engine factory made engine) with vortec heads. I started having a minor miss that drove me crazy for over a year. My mechanic couldn't figure it out. Number 3 cylinder would get oil fouled (like your number 8 plug, just a little cleaner). The mechanic...

Shows the hard door (rear surround of door is the solid piece with 3 snaps). Soft door version has a metal rod for the rear surround and the plastic pieces that mount to windshield frame (find on soft top full tops with soft doors). Hopefully this helps you find out what your have and if it's...
