Installed a thumb throttle last week can't wait to use it crawling

 

I need to do this too, just been too lazy too buy one

 

That looks extremely girly imo.

I personally always wanted to get a badge that says 242CI either with red numbers and black letters or black numbers with red letters.

 

Yes the 242 looks girly and no I'm not putting it on my jeep. What do y'all think about the country decal.

 

I changed the oil in my buddies 5.2L Grand. Its weird working on a stock Jeep with no lift on it.
Today we used it to pull the bushes out of his front yard. 5.2L in 4Lo didn't even have to work to pull them out. It was pretty impressive.

 

Fabbed this up cuz I got tired of the stock look now I just cant decide wether or not to put a camo vinyl wrap on it or not lol

 

Tried to replace the "temp switch" (Autozone's name) that's next to the firewall and firewall ground, but I just can't seem to get in there and it looks like the valve cover covers part of the switch. The easiest thing to do would be to take the cover off or at least loosen it. Ain't nobody got time for dat today.

My tranny has been shifting really sloppy lately. I figured it's the solenoids going bad. So I'm fixing to order a kit online (going through local retail is ridiculous!). Online, I can buy the 2 solenoid/1 locking kit for $109. ONE solenoid is about $150 at Autozone! But I went and threw some Lucas No Slip in there just to see what would happen. As advertised, it was solid shifting again! And I only put in half the bottle! So I'm thinking, maybe I'll just drain the pain, replace the filter, and then maybe some Lucas stuff if fresh ATF (Dex/Merc) doesn't feel solid. If it's still squirrely, maybe new solenoids are what I need anyway.

 

I have been thinking of trying that stuff my trans is a but weird when it shifts as well and doesnt hold over drive like it should. Think I may go but me some of that stuff and give it a shot.

 

The switch is at a little bit of an angle. a deep socket takes it out with no trouble. Not necessary to remove anything else.

Ever adjusted your tV cable?

I used deep socket, but if it's at an angle, that might be why I just couldn't get it to grab on. Thanks! I'll try it again when I get back from L.A. This might be why I'm getting such crappy mileage. I thought I had a bum gauge; it reads WAY low all the time. But if it's this temp switch and it's reading low to the computer, it thinks my engine is cold all the time and I'm probably running rich.

I've adjusted my tv cable several times. I'll do it again after I switch the switch.

 

Wired in some offroad lights and re enforced the bumper some more and my girl jumped in to help(:

 

The sender at the back of the head is for the GAUGE only. The one in the thermostat housing is for the PCM.

This could be a s simple as a faulty thermostat causing the engine to run too cold, thus causing poor fuel mileage.

 

I *THOUGHT* that was the case, that the rear sender was gauge only. But then someone convinced me otherwise. No matter. It should really be fixed. It may be running normal; it might be the sender giving bogus data when everything is fine.

 

Got an IR temp gauge/tester/laser? Use it to determine the engine's actual operating temp. Go from there.

 

put on 265 75 16 Cooper Discover ATP, removed all the plastics and fender flares. I have not trimmed the fenders yet. trolling the forums to acquire the best method.
