[QUOTE=bmorgil;7938]gmwillys... does this really work? /QUOTE]

There are a lot of little tricks that give you just a couple of more weeks out of a battery that has come to the end of its road. ...

If you leave the 6-volt battery in the system, remember that the regulator may have been jacked up - it won't be good for a 6-volt battery.

Now you know that your starting system is ready to go.

A. Big Bummer on the $1200 CJ!

B. When the battery voltage drops far enough, the solenoid will click and chatter because there isn't enough battery voltage to pull it in. Looks like I owe You a...

An engine ready to go together is the biggest part of $1,200. The more I've thought about it, the better deal it
sounds.

That's not a bad price.

" ...what's your beverage of choice?... "

I'm no connysewer of beverages - just whatever's free and closest. I hope we find the starter issue.

OK, now I understand what we're talking about. I slept through that part of class - sorry Coach.

I'm still betting a beverage on a starter problem that may have damaged the solenoid.

It's hard to make guesses when I can't get dirty with you, but I'll bet a beverage you have a bad starter that may have burned the solenoid contacts.

I'm not an expert (or anything close) on the...

I have a feeling about your problem, but there may be a couple of things happening. Pulling that battery down to 4.5-volts says there is a LOT of current being drawn from it.

I am going to assume...

"The starter is turning really slow to the point it stops and then it fires up."

If the battery is charging to 8.4 volts at cruise, that's probably a sign that the regulator has been reset. I'd...

You know, this is another one of those mysteries that we have all noticed, but we haven't solved.

GMWillys is right. On the L-134 engines it is a looooong way for fuel to make its way through...

In cold weather when I don't want to crank it a long time, I give it a shot of go-juice, crank it through at least four cylinders, then turn on the ignition. It will usually hit on the next cylinder...

You noted; " At times, my temp will creep to almost 200 and then work it's way back down to 180."

If you have a 180 degree 'stat, that's normal. The coolant at the back of the engine where the...

Naw, you're not on probation - if you were we'd have been there long ago. Sometimes computers can be as cranky as old Jeeps.

And you've done nothing to be censored ...

My question - would an...

Yeah, GMWillys knew I'd have to check in on this.

That is really a nice Jeep, but the paint would have gone on more evenly if someone had swept the leaves off between coats … I’m kidding. That...
