This is why you always remove the FILL plug first...

Not today technically, but over the last 5 days I have replaced/installed...

Water pump
Thermostat
Thermostat housing
Heater Hoses
Overflow Hose
Fan Clutch
Radiator (after doing a full system flush and still getting hot)

Headlights
Corner Signal Lights
Front Signal Lights
New Spectre Air Filter

So yesterday I took it out to the trail and beat the p*ss out of it for making me work so hard and spend so much money.

Today I swapped out my IAC, hopefully (fingers crossed) my high idle and stalling in intersections is fixed.

Calm down, Classic. Don't make me come over and spray you with cold water.

Hit me up when you're ready.

Today, I drove my MJ for the first time (besides work) since I brought my Camaro back from home. Started right up and didn't give me any trouble, but we'll see how long it takes her to get jealous.

YES.. FINALLY.

The radiator was the biggest issue. Which I didn't find out until EVERYTHING else was replaced.

118 here today and she won't go over 210.

And yeah she loved getting slapped around. LOL.

Finally got it in to get the squeak fixed!! IT was TWO bad U-joints on the rear drive shaft. Also the seal on the TC got messed up from my little ordeal yesterday.

He actually lost his rear shaft and some fluid came out. He did not drain it.
