    Radiator Fan Override Switch (The Easy Way)

    So I dug into this further today. My electric fan has not come on once on it’s own since I installed the relay/overide switch. I suspected the blue/white 12v wire I used as a power source. I checked the wire again, 12v with the key on, but 0v once the engine was running. I used another known...

    Back from the dead again. KOH was a blast, even though I scrambled to get it dirt worthy. The truckster sat for a few months after KOH. I got put back together and took it to Hungry Valley OHV for the CORVA poker run. Took my pops and a bunch of friends. Rigs ranged from my Jeep, and a few...

    Radiator Fan Override Switch (The Easy Way)

    CTS is the temperature sensor in the thermostat? Unplug while running and the fan should come on immediately? I have a scanner and have zero issues clearing codes. Smog not due for another year. Thanks.

    Radiator Fan Override Switch (The Easy Way)

    I let it get to operating temperature (200ish) idling in the driveway. No electric fan at all, expect when I flipped the new switch. I took it for a 20 min drive with the A/C on, up some hills and put some heat into it. I got it to 210, but again, no fan without the switch. I’m thinking it’s...

    Radiator Fan Override Switch (The Easy Way)

    Got this all hooked up today on my 97. Followed the diagram in the original post exactly. Started the engine and flipped the switch, fan came right on. Turned my A/C on, no fan. AC clutch engaged and air was definitely working. No check engine light. Any ideas?

    Diy regear

    I did my Dana 30 and 8.25 myself in the garage. I had never done gears before. The Dana was more difficult due to the way it’s all set up with shims. Lots and lots of removing/re-installing bearings and races. The 8.25 is easier because of the adjustable collars to set up the carrier. You will...

    Made some roll cage supports. They connect the roll cage to the "frame".

    Thank you. No, the factory headliner will not fit anymore. I pushed the cage up into the factory sheet metal supports in some places. Someday I’ll build filler panels that I’ll cover with fabric and attach to the cage.

    Did some more work on the cage, welded up the bottom of everything then dropped the cage down to weld up the tops. Such a time consuming process, my out of position welding needs dome work too. Its getting closer, step by step. Upgraded my cordless tool from some 15 year old DeWalt 18V stuff...

    Made a little gas filler neck piece for a buddy's C10 project. 18GA cold rolled and some silicon bronze. Also worked on the cage in the family truckster. I'm almost ready to drop it down so I can weld the top and put in the rest of the tubes.

    New guy build-The Family Truckster

    Got the rear shocks mounted and cycled today. I would have liked to made them straight up. but I was limited by the rear seat. This build is a series of compromises to keep it safe and passenger/ road trip friendly. I will build some sheet metal boxes over the socks to seal the cab back up. A...

    8.25" axle shaft ???

    I see. I’m using ZJ parts to do mine, I should probably do the same. What about just making thicker c-clips?
