Turbo Boost once per episode.


There is supposed to be a new Night Rider movie/tv series coming to a tv near you. I find it funny that the most sophisticated car in the world is supposed to be a Ford Mustang. I guess its why that call it fiction. At least Tom Selleck from Magnum P.I. drove a Ferrari 303 GTB.

Full Spool, Full Spool, Full SpoOOOoOoOool.

The diff cover was leaking so I removed the cover and preparing to reinstall with some black RTV.

Moving Along

Soo.....

I am having trouble identifying my rear axle on my Jeep because some of the serial numbers have rusted out. This is a result of the Jeep being bought out of Michigan. This becomes a problem when purchasing some items such as brake pads.

Hugs and Kisses


The neighbor and his wife came over the other day and I got a good laugh. The front Dana 44 has an OX Locker cable locker. Next the steering column there is a lever with an X and an O for engaging and disengaging. The lighting was bad and its cold and windy outside so you can't see the letters in the photo. His wife said that my locker was powered by Hugs and Kisses (XOXOX).

Success, Finally


I finally got the oil to stop gushing out from the valve covers. I have a new pinhole leak from the radiator that started last night. It doesn't look major and I will probably just dump some radiator goop sealer in it to avoid having to pull the radiator.

I suck at Valve Covers.


So I pulled the valve cover back off of the motor, again. Turns out that the gasket didn't seat itself in the right place when I put the cover back on. The weird thing was that I waited about 15 minutes after I had put RTV sealant on the heads and the valve cover itself before I tightened the bolts. Perhaps I overtightened the bolts and the gasket squished itself out between the cover and head.

Jeep Rear-end thingy.


I haven't the foggiest idea what this is on the rear suspension. My guess is that its some type or cheap anti-roll system.


Update: The Rear Diff Cover is now leaking.
