x2, cork will leak sometimes even tho it's new, I bought the silicone gasket and it's much easier to instal, never leaks, and is reusuable!

Thanks, but it's on, and another trip to the store is prob. too much to ask at this point.
...got a bad back, so this stuff is pretty difficult as it is - leaning over, reaching - - .

If I'd known a little bit earlier .....
...but I do appreciate it

I may go get one once I can drive to NAPA

My 2000 has the police package and I want to overhaul the whole cooling system, does it have a bigger radiator or no?

I know when I bought my new radiator at Napa, for an '00, all the computer asked if right hand drive (Postal Service) or left hand drive.

Oh ok. On the rear of the Jeep, you don't need to cut into the pocket. Only reason mine is cut like that is because I had previously (about 2 years ago) made an attempt to get a wrench on the nut but failed miserably. Cut the shackle weld, bend it open with a pry bar so you can drop it out of the way, cut the bolt off between the frame and shackle, and put in a new bolt and nut. The only other cutting you'll have to do is inside in the cargo area to be able to put a new nut in and tighten it down.

Is that thing on the left a heat-sink?
Thanks man. It's off a '92. As was said, those are Crank Case Ventilation elbows - or - CCV elbows, and vvvvv

what controls the thermometer on the compass and temperature display? it's like a hundred in Chicago today, the thing reads 65 degrees. My first thought was it was set to celsius, but no, it say 14 degrees celsius. Any thoughts?

Back for 3 days from my work trip. Is the wiring for the MAP sensor known to go bad? getting MAP circuit low voltage again. Band new MAP and TPS. Any other things to check? Timing(IDK really how)? Fine if you step on it.

I'm in the process of replacing the intake/exhaust gasket, I'm going to replace my injectors while I'm at it, and the valve cover gasket, anything else I should replace while I'm working in this area?
