Hey all, I got the leak fixed in the sending unit elbow connector. I went and got Permatex High Temperature thread sealant PX #59214. Applied a fair amount across the threads, screwed elbow back into block, screwed PSU into elbow, connected wires to PSU, let the jeep set for 24 hours. Started the next day, checked for leaks, none, have put over 250 miles on the jeep this week with 0 oil loss anywhere, including the PSU elbow.

Ran it for awhile in the driveway again (slight incline). No leaks. Took it for about a 10 mile run, came back and parked it in the driveway over a large piece of cardboard. Crawled underneath and still nothing visible (running).
Came back later that evening and this:

Here's a weird one, jeep has been sitting since November. Started up and ran at least once a month while doing floor boards and front end. Went to go start it today, and nothing, no crank at all.. here's the twist, I have an aftermarket alarm system, and I decided to see if it started with the remote, and it did. So using the key in the ignition, and I hear the fuel pump and relay kick on, but still no crank with key. Suggestions

Installed Wagner Thermoquiets on the front brakes today. Have a slight oscillating brushing sound coming from the right disc now though when I drive. Sound happens faster as i drive faster and the opposite. Goes away when I apply the brakes with some force. Any ideas? Did not replace rotors

OK so I've had a problem with my windshield and front door windows fogging up for a few weeks now. I'm not sure why it keeps fogging up. Also if you drive with the windows closed for a while you can see what looks like a mist coming out of the defrost vents by the doors and it will begin to get cloudy inside the jeep. I replace my heater core about 2 years ago and I'm not sure if it's leaking. I can also smell what smells like antifreeze when driving. I can wipe the windows off and it will fog up in under 2 minutes if I don't have the windows down to vent the cloud buildup

I sure it's here somewhere, but I'm not gonna sort threw 1000+ pages looking for it, I want to raise the elevation of my transmission vent. I heard you can do it with a threaded hose barb, and some line. Anyone have pictures and a how-to?

SALAD. you have that delayed off lighting diagram again. Stupid phone didn't save it. It may be possible. I've noticed the headlights stay on only and not the day runners. So power may only be going to them meaning when the headlights are on, rear lights shouldn't be
