Any feedback for a Temperature Gauge that suddenly went erratic? [95' Grand Cherokee - 4.0]

"unsure at this time, but the Temp. Gauge was acting erratically. When I parked, the needle was jumping back n forth, then bottomed out & ceased. I never saw this before - Reason for concern?"

Could be a bad sending unit, problem with the wiring, or bad ground

Condenser and its lines are seperate from the radiator, not plumbed together. Radiator only has the transmission heat excahnger. Have at it..

oh it may look like that way but no, AC lines are seperate. It might look like it's going into the radiator but it's really going around the radiator

My rear wiper has been non functional for a year or so.

I removed it and tested it to see if the motor was any good. I and my mechanic determined the motor was bad.

This morning I installed a new motor. When I turn it on, I can hear "click Click, Click Click, over and over but no movement. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Question 2. The squirted is not working either. I can hear the pimp work and I do have washer fluid. When I disconnect the washer hose on the out side I can blow air through it. Thinking I might have an obstruction, what about low pressure air pushed from the wiper hose to the reservoir? Anyone tried that?

I put welcomed.

Thanks,

Basic fab question here:
If designing a rectangular/square tube bumper, would welding in tube of equivalent diameter add significant strength? Or would gussets be a more practical means of achieving the same goal?

Interested in any input. Square tube would be 3/16", and I understand recommended round tube thickness for a bumper is .120". If one were to build something like this, would those ideal thicknesses change?

As if looking lengthwise through the bumper from the side:

I've actually wondered this myself. Same thing with sliders. I'm interested in the outcome
