Almost sounds like a party!  Shame I missed it.
Did get my jeep radiator R&R job done though. At the time, confirmed no leaks from the jeep radiator or trans lines going to the radiator.
Today my wife called me and said she is on the side of the road, tranny is dead, fluid came out, tow truck called.  m-d  d-s  m-d  d-s

I should have avoided the whole job and come over to NJ to help out.

Would have been more fun and cheaper!


   Glad it turned out well for you Greg!

Theres a drip spot about the size of a dime under my engine, im just going to tell myself that it's just some old oil dripping off of the engine and its not leaking. Anyway a dime is much better than a couple large pancake size spots. Sorry to hear about your jeep, didnt she have AAA?

Is it from the downtube on the Oil Filler? It's supposed to drip from there

Ya know what...You're right. Only thing you can do is put a piece of clean cardboard under her when you park it. That always tells you where the drip comes from

Would have been more fun and cheaper! SO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE JEEP? DIDN'T TIGHTEN A LINE?

I hope adjusting the carb isn't on your list.

When you adjust the clutch cable, put a pair of vice grips on the cable in front of the arm so the cable don't twist while your adjusting it.
