For anyone that would like to join me, I will be going to Keller's drive in (6537 e nw highway in Dallas) on Thursday December 3rd. I will be there at 6:30 and would love to meet y'all. Hope to see some of y'all there, Beau Oh yeah, I will be in the beat up black one

I guess there aren't... I have seen a few around white rock/ east Dallas area lately. Oh well, it's getting to the time of year that it's not as much of a beating that my ac is shot. I'll just have to make it out to one of the scheduled events

Hey there, I was just wondering if any off y'all that live in the DFW area would be interested in a monthly meet up on the east side of town. Or, is there one already?

I'm in for a couple of times a year.

Thank you ehall, I appreciate it. I feel kinda silly for not being more thorough in my research

My answer is probably in this thread somewhere, but I'll be darned if I can find it... I have been looking into changing my axle, front and rear drive shaft u-joints but did't know how many to get. I saw in this thread that "I need to pick up (2) 5-760X and (5)1310 joints?" plus extras of each...

Thank you, I won't be able to make it this weekend, but I'll try to make it to future events. I will keep an eye on the calender, I hope to meet y'all soon

Hi, my name is Beau I'm in the east Dallas / Lakewood area I've had my xj for a couple of years now I don't really post anything, but have learned a bunch from reading y'all's. I would love to go wheelin' and learn some more about building up my jeep

Yup, it was the starter. I finally convinced the guys at autozone that yes, it will pass the test, but no, it will not start my engine. So, I got a new one under warranty, installed it, and she fired right up first try... I'm pretty sure I did the first set of tests wrong and "fixed" a couple...

Ok, now I am getting voltage to the starter, but still not starting... I had the battery charged then did the steps from this link (http://www.aa1car.com/library/voltage_drop_testing.htm), all of the readings were within normal limits, but still nothing. It does now click every time I try to...

WOOHOO! I found that i was losing all voltage between the s terminal and its connector. i am going to cut it out and try to find a new one to splice in. thank you joejeep92 for your explanation of a volt drop test and your patience, i appreciate both

awesome, i will try that too. and thank you, that explanation makes more sense than others i have read. i am headed to bed now, i will update you tomorrow after i have tried these things.

But I have 12 to the positive and only 10 to the S terminal, is that a starter issue or a wiring issue do you think? again, i am new to electrical issues, so i am sorry if i repeat questions, i just am trying to wrap my head around the concept

thank you, i did not check that terminal and i will try that tomorrow. Now some more questions... i am looking for 12 volts to the bottom terminal, correct? if i do not have 12 volts there, that would mean that the wire from the solenoid to the starter motor is the problem?

no, on my starter i have two large terminals. one coming from the battery and the one going to the starter. then i have one small terminal on the solenoid that only shows voltage when the key is turned. thank you by the way. i really appreciate you taking time to help me out
