It is hard not to loose it when others are so inconsiderate. Or just plan jerks. It can help a little if you remember that time wounds all heals. People can't act like that forever and not have it catch up with them. One thing about a TJ, I've mentioned here before...they are so short that you...

Make it as tall as you can within the aesthetic limits of the area. More room for that future lift, lets you put shelves up high where they do not interfere with floor space. You can never have too much storage area. Enjoy your project. B

Happy with mine.

so the way I look at these somewhat pain in the ass projects is if I can get a new tool out of it, it all becomes worthwhile. I would recommend you take this opportunity to buy a PneumatiVac Pneumatic Fluid Evacuator. Better known as a mighty vac. Very useful, one of those tools you wonder how...

I retire in July. I estimate I have at least 30 years of projects to work on. Time will tell how many I finish. But looking forward to whatever time I get. B

Rock Auto has worked well for me. I like that they offer several choices for most parts. And they send those cool magnetic car photos for the tool box. B

I have seen some weird stuff when the wrong bulb was used, or when a bulb that worked and looked fine had the element wires crossed up inside, like a tail light with two elements. But you said you replaced all the bulbs, so you can most likely rule a bulb out. I think you may have answered you...

When I put Air Conditioning in my 2000, I was pleased that all the plugs needed for the compressor, high and low pressure switches etc. were already there tucked back in the harness. Just a wild guess but if that is a factory plug it may be for an option you don't have. Chrysler is know to build...

Shop foreman at a public transit agency. Bus tech prior to that. Farmer prior to that. Retire in July. We are still running, but at a very reduced level of service. B

CodaMan nailed it. Wipe New is the best product we have used at work. Out performs everything else we have tried over the years. B

I read that article this morning. Farmers have been following it for a while now. The advances in farm equipment is simply astounding. It is extremely high tech. A well trained tech is necessary to fix it. Just as it takes a well trained tech to fix a new car or truck. The question here is...

Drain the oil, remove the bolts and cover. Clean and reseal with Permatex Gear Oil RTV Sealant. Give it the 24 hours it calls for to set up and refill with oil. It will not leak again. I like Permatex Gear Oil RTV because it does not leak. Later I hate it if I have to remove the cover, takes...
