hey my thermostat sticks first thing in the morning. i go up to the notch before red lining so probably 240 degrees. then it opens and works fine. should i get a new one to be on the safe side?

 

I would

 

How many miles does she have? Have you changed the fuel filter?

 

X a million. They're only a few bucks seriously. Like 5 or something. Better than over heating your Jeep?

 

So I got new pads and drums for my 89, along with new hardware. Got them installed my a mechanic down the street. They were adjusted good, until I was driving and I heard something bouncing in my driver rear drum. Then my passenger rear drum was squeeking like crazy 24/7. Being tired of working on brakes. I took her to les schwab and they said no problem we will adjust them and fix any issues. Wrong, my back brakes lock up with the smallest touch to the brake pedal and the passenger rear is still squeeking. I'm a pretty good mechanic. But dam lol. What do you fellas think?

 

Quick question about the Dana 30/35s. Did they come from the factory with a gasket or did they use RTV to seal the diff cover?

 

How does your e-brake feel? Any possibility someone pinched/pulled a cable or just adjusted it too tight? Did they turn your drums or just replace the shoes?

 

E brake is dissconnected for some time now. Drums and shoes are brand new

 

The body has 156k while motor is a new with only 30k. I just bought the jeep so i dont know when when the fuel filter was replaced.

 

OK I am confused.

The check gage light came on and the voltage meter on the dash said 9 volts or no voltage I am sure is what it is telling me.

I could go over what I researched but I think it would just confuse me and you more. But here is a quick synopsis:

I need an alternator
I want a 136 amp alternator
I need one with correct connector for a 2000

Question 1: What vehicle (v8 engine right?) and year(s) do I ask the guy a NAPA for? This http://www.vicic.com.tw/alternators/gvdn11361203.htm ?

Question 2: Does the HO engines' brackets also have a sleeve and can I drive both sleeves back so it will fit the bigger alternator? Or do I just grind a 1/4" off the mounting braket?

Question 3: Would I be stupid not to contact Kelley's Works in Progress for a wiring upgrade?

 

Looking for a project and I was wondering if replacing my battery cables (really need to) would be difficult considering my mediocre mechanical ability?

 

Pretty easy cut and dry job. Just follow the location of the cables and route new ones. Have fun with the starter though. I don't care about any ones tallent. That's gonna be fun taking off the positive lol.
