I would back up what Royal stated. It could be that the starter gear is jammed up into the flywheel locking the engine up (let's hope). That starter brace doesn't look like it does much, but in these engines it really does. If that's the case, removing and replacing the starter with a brace...

Watching to see for future ideas, best of luck

Already done, they're being sold at Jeep Dealerships called Wranglers http://www.jeep.com/en/wrangler/#model=sport&color=black&category=standard EDIT>>>>Also forgot. A ways back, the Bing car drove by and caught me doing just about the same thing. Ever try using Bing Maps? like trying to...

Yes, a standard 12v horn will work. You can buy one new or pick one from a boneyard for a few bucks. If you pick one from a yard, just make sure the bracket is attached and will allow it to mount where you want it, if not going back behind the grille area

Check your headlight fuse as well, the 30 amp, is it burnt around the fuse? I believe the horn is fed from this circuit as well, but If your hearing the clicking noise, that tells me that the horn relay is good, it may be just your actual horn is bad. If you can get to it, (it's behind the...

A relay is a good idea for safety and ease of use later on. Most common switches are very cheap, though rated for the proper load, will fail due to the contacts. A typical Bosch relay will be suffice, the common ones are typically rated for 30 amps. The reason for the relay, the switch can be...

I 2nd that, going to a CHP office. Even though many other LEO's consider them AAA with a gun and badge, they are really useful when it comes to things such as this.

I'm not arguing, I'm with you 110%. Just got to remember that most folks at the DMV are used to the standard 17 alphanumeric VIN, so for them to start looking at frame numbers and anything on the chassis is asking way too much. The thing I was stating is that if you can find a good reliable...

Be careful about the hypothetical questions, what ever you say or provide, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR VIN, it may come back to haunt you, especially if they enter it into the system. Your best bet is to go to a registration service, there you can provide your VIN/serial number and any other relevant...

I didn't see that part that it was registered in Florida, but Yes, in my case it was the original US Government title, it had never been titled before. If it was titled before in another State, you can try going to that State and having them amend the title, it may take a bit of convincing...

I had the same situation for my 818, it was listed as an '85. I have no documentation proving that it was ever rebuilt, no data plates on the dash, nothing. Anyway, I bought mine through GSA, and when I received the title, it was listed as '85. I emailed the GSA office and attached a pic of...

Summit Racing is based out of Ohio, so it may be you are just lucky enough to be in their backyard, maybe. Went to a car show with Ole "Fluffy" was the only military vehicle there, was kind of bummed about that, but it was a "Car" show. Still, many enjoyed seeing the old girl riding the...

Is your camping gear going to fit in there with the seats or are they easily removable?

Rusty,you're getting all trans nerdy on us, but I love it....

Good to know, CUCVRUS always has good info. I know anything mechanical can just die at any moment, but usually there is a good reason for it. I would say before just replacing the IP, rule everything that you can, you don't want to replace things and maybe contribute to the problem without...

Have you checked the glow plugs/glow plug card/ ballast resistors (if they are still there)? Operational lifespan of the IP is typically about 100K but that is just a textbook estimate, not written in stone. Even though it was 80°, your glow plugs still cycle, just not as long as when it is...

Watch out, there's a hole on that there puddle.

I agree with you 100%, not arguing, probably should have worded it better on my part. What I meant for the others, just in case anyone didn't get it, there is a wiper edge on the seal , if they're not aligned the same way then it will create a big leak. The seal will fit in either way, you...

Yeah, those neoprene seals only leak if you put one in backwards, lol.

Yes the oil pressure sending unit and the vacuum pump are located very top and top left of the engine and yes I guess they could leak enough to start dripping by the oil filter, but most likely they would start to drip down the back side of the bell housing. Not saying it's impossible, but...
