help needed in denver (navy vet)

[Hypoid]

We had some sammiches:

Some parts:

Some Jeep weather

Doug and Gary came over and helped get the work done, and do most of the other inspections. After some chiding from the shop's owner, we back-flushed the heater core and got some rust and gasket sealer out. The heater seems to be working better.

All in all, it was a great day! It hardly seemed like work, maybe because Doug and Gary did most of that.

Thanks again, to everybody who helped pull this off!!!!!!!!!!! :cheers:

Thanks for coordinating all of this! And for the sandwiches and barley pop. It was great meeting you and Michelle. I'm glad Doug got to do the work under the snowy Jeep!

I guess that's what I get for showing up last.

I'd still highly recommend that she get that pitman-arm end TRE replaced pretty soon. Too much slop for my taste.

She's ALIVE!!!!

So, how is Brantley?

 

[mswartz]

Brandtly is doing alright haha. has been having some trouble starting lately tho. something silly is going on with battery. i just wiggle the wires around though and it seems to start up most of the time.

 

[Dewidge]

Try popping them off and cleaning them and the posts up real well. That may fix a bad connection with little effort.

I talked to Michelle for a bit tonight, her jeep has been overheating. Long story short, Brandtly has oil in the cooling system, and coolant in the oil. :tear:

Right now, all options, including another vehicle, are on the table. Does anyone have a 4-banger that is suitable for a '97?

Damn, there was a lower mileage 2.5L on craigs a short time ago, but I can't find it now. Solid running used 2.5's are hard to find.

I have a set of low mileage leafs here in Edgewater if they are needed.

 

[Hypoid]

Actually if you can make it to south Denver by Sloan's lake you can look through the garage for XJ parts. I got the rig when a relative sold his cabin and it only had 80,000 miles on it only being driven during summer vacation.

I didn't have it a year before it got lifted, 8.8, sye, etc.
