Important

Could be fuel pump, could be a plugged cat. Could be a few things. The tick in the engine might be that little evap valve running on the ac lines. Thought mine had a rod knock because of that crap.
 
Sorry about your loss and everything matt. Just remember all the good memories.

If you ever need a hand with working on something feel free to get ahold of me. Im just down the road a little bit.

Thanks.

I'll remember that. Its odd around here, we can have 20 people on a work/school night that will hang out, but seems like everyone already has weekend plans cause I work most of them.

I am durnk AS hell (I said hell only cuz I cant say fuk).

I wish I lived in ft wayne.


fore 'love ya mac' wheeler


ps I love New glarus beers

Yep you need to live down here.

I got the water pump changed on the 5.9. I changed it because there had been a squeal. It sounded like the water pump, and part of it was I'm pretty sure. I still have a squeal that might be belt related. I'm going to change the idler pulley today.

I'm so sick of the belt squealing.

My 01 did the same thing, annoyed me to no end.

Check your power steering pump for pulley alignment. I had a constant squeal on my 5.2 and shredded a belt before I noticed the PS pulley was cocked sideways a bit. Pulled the pump and the bracket looked like this:

Got a junkyard bracket and a new belt, not a peep out of it since.

Illianaxj- seeing your rig makes me miss my old zj so much. It was the same color also. I should have kept that one.

Well just let me know. We don't do anything on the weekends except sit around work on the jeeps if its not to cold out. Maybe have a couple cold ones as well. Always up to lend a hand working on something if i can help.
 
My garage is heated and has a kegerator...which I just refilled last night...

I'm replacing the idler pulley here in a few minutes (just had a g6 in here getting front brakes) so ill inspect the ps bracket.

Must be nice to have a garage. This cold weather sucks for working on a vehicle. Oh well, guess the cold ones will keep you from feeling the cold.

Sounds like you got a regular auto body shop going on there mac
 
Having 1700 square feet of heated garage makes me wonder how I used to live with a 24x26 garage...

No garage would be awful...

I don't mind the winter cause I don't have a/c in the summer....

Dang that must be nice. I have got the 29x34 pad poured for the garage. Just no walls or roof on it so it has a little bit of a draft to it.
 
Hahaha

I bet it's real chilly!

I would never have this if I hadn't wander into it when I was looking for a house five years ago.

1100 square foot house and 28x60 garage...sold!

Yeah, Molly used to have a purple ZJ like that too........ :D
 
Actually, that was molly's old zj. I traded her my old cj7 for it a couple years ago. I changed a couple things on it from when she had it. It really is a small world.

I know, she told me the story. Small world for sure.
 
You forgot to mention the being shot at & land mines sort of life.

I've never been shot at, never lived in a tent, never ate mre's for constant meals or carried a pack and walked for a living.

I've worked a shit ton of hours and missed a lot of family time, but when you choose my job you know you're going to, but at least you're not getting shot at.
 
running a sendoff concert event for my buddy whos job im taking...at my future place of employment. this will mark my second time drinking at my workplace before i officially start my new job. i like it here...tonight will be a bourbon night i have a feeling.
