I'm getting a very small tranny leak from the speedo cable attachment point. I didn't mention that I pulled the door skin off the front passenger door. I was getting a leak there- around the bottom. It's off now pending further diagnostics. My speaker was getting soaked- I know that. I also know I was leaking around the speaker cover as evidenced by rust in that location. I'm gonna try the following for a fix- please comment as you see fit. I'm gonna pull that plastic sheeting off completely and use 2" wide aluminum tape to cover *all* the holes. That stuff is great- completely water proof once affixed (it can cut the bugger out of you though!). I should only need sheeting for the lower six inches of the door where there is a large hole about a foot long or so. Should make maintenance a lot easier on my power windows and power locks that only semi-operate. Instead of having to be really carefull pulling that sheeting loose, I can just peel the tape off where I need it. You won't be able to see through the tape but hey- looking through that sheeting is like looking through wax paper anyway. JB "Any man who would trade liberty for security deserves neither."

Subject: New Guy Introduction
Hi,
I just found this list and wanted to get myself introduced before
asking a bunch of questions, and joining in on discussions
I currently own a '73 Wag 360 that I picked up for $300, not
running, but if good condition otherwise. After an engine rebuild,
some fuel and electrical system troubleshooting shes running and
smogged for California. But there is more work required...
This is the second Wag I've owned. I had a '79 (Limited?) which I
also got a good deal on. I've rebuild most of both engines (I can't
believe how cheap the parts were!), so could possibly offer some
tips there. I've also had the first one AIRBORN, and buried in
mud up to the axles, and can probably offer some advice there too!
I have a BSME and nearly an MSCS, and write software for Hewlett
Packard in Sacramento Ca. I'm 39, married with a 2 YO son. I'm
also a MoPar muscle car nut and have a '68 Charger 440 that I'm
restofying. I'm on a MoPar list too and from time to time they get
into Jeep issues. If anyone is interested I can point you to it.
I frequent the local wrecking yards and know of several Wagoneers,
Cherokees, and J-20s (that's what they call the PU, right?) if
anyone is interested. You can find relatively rust free older (into
the '60s) Jeeps around here from time to time and I could keep an
eye out for them if anyone is looking.
Thanks for your time, and I look forward being on this list!
Rob Farmelo

PS: Is it kosher to e-mail parts for sale on this list? I have a couple
items I'd like to sell.

This summer, I noticed that the oil pressure seemed to run lower when I put 10W-40 in the engine than when I used 10W-30. I had a theory that the engine was starving for oil because it was collecting in the top of the engine. I thought that maybe the oil return pathes were clogged with sludge.

In other words if you have the 105A version does it matter if you have all stock acc.? Two, my oil press. usually runs about 40 on the gauge, but when I run the J on the highway, it goes to 80!! Can I trust the gauge? I don't see any seal busting leaks... Thanks Brad Feick[Back to Top]

Date: Tue, 28 Jan 1997 22:52:19 -0500 From: Ron <rgeer-at-geocities.com> Subject: Day in the life of FSJ A short story about a day in the life of my '77. This past Saturday was Cub Scout Pinewood Derby. I am official keeper of the track, and haul it in my Cherokee (couple inches to spare from rear glass to front windshield). There was a cold rain falling on the evening we had to setup. I decided to pull the Jeep up on the sidewalk under the "roof". I thought that there were no school officials around, and it wouldn't hurt anything. It was a piece of cake to drop into low range and back up over the 8" curb. All was well until a couple hours later when I thought "oh no, what if it drips oil/trans fluid on the sidewalk!" I figured it was too late to move then. But to my surprize, when it came time to leave, probably four hours later, there was not a drop on the sidewalk. FSJs do have good manners! Ron http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/5699[Back to Top]

I dont have this problem yet (only 1 86gw) but check out some boat storage sites, Check with a county fair grounds they often have off season storage You can often get these for a reasonable small fee, There usually open areas, no security but who's going to steal parts off a FSJ??? -:) You can get for a couple hundred $$ a U-store it locker that can hold a lot.

Subject: replys..
ALL:
The FSJ list has been getting bigger and bigger. Some of the info is
useful some is ramblings.. For most of us who don't have all day to read
email I have a few suggestions... Yea I know I am sometimes guilty but I
try to clean things up..
1) IF you reply to a message EDIT out what is no longer important, You don't
need four copies of the "how to unsubscribe" message imbedded in various
messages that have been replayed many times. Edit out the signature lines or
least part of it. The cute FSJ pix are ok, but they are not needed in
REPLYS. I have seen some messages with 5 or 6 sig lines and headers with a
topic being reply to by many.
2) Change the subject if the subject has changed.. If your not talking about
FSJ seats then change the subject. Almost every mailer lets you change the
subject.
3) If the reply is suppose to be a person to person reply DON'T reply to the
list. Take a second to reset the to line. Again mailers allow you to do this.
Enough of my ramblings.. Food for thought..
