Default Second Junkyard Trip

Went to the local yard again to peruse for parts a few days ago and I came upon a 1993 Jeep Cherokee Owners Manual and other books! Definitely a great find.

Default Intermittent Wiper Module woes

I also went to the junkyard originally to find a wiper module to replace mine as it only works on low and high. I found one and replaced mine with it. While driving a little bit after my Jeep started to stutter and then stall out in a drive thru. Did it for the last two days and i finally, on a hunch, switched the modules back and it hasn't stalled out since. Weird how something pertaining to wipers messes with the performance of the vehicle.

It is always stupid little things that cause problems. I usually follow one rule, if something acts up after changing something, change it back and see.

Default That's not healthy

Went to Kroger and my brake light came on. Checked the master brake cylinder and the front bowl was completely empty. Definitely a flush in the near future because of the color. (One side is caramel colored and the other side is black) for now I refilled the empty bowl.

Default Brakes bled

Today I bled the brakes and now you barely have to press the pedal for the car to stop. 10 times better than it ever has been. I don't think the brakes have ever been bled mainly because the bleeder valves were stuck good. Almost rounded off a few but took my socket set to them and they loosened right up.

If it helps I know a place that specializes in tape deck belts for old units.

I was even able to find a belt for an old underdash 8 track player I was tinkering with.

thank you. The only problem with The tape deck is some of the components are snapped inside. I think when it was mailed to me it was mishandled by the snail mail. Will definitely use it in the future should i find another radio that needs one!

Default Classic Oil Filter Adapter Leak

As the title says it is leaking. Bad. So looks like it's time to replace the o-rings. Oil is dripping from the adapter, onto the starter, onto the transmission lines, then onto the ground.
