So I heard… after buying the one at the local store

I’m no expert or even mediocre mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, but I’d keep a close eye on your oil pressure.
Well damn, I remember when the CosMos in Richardson opened, I was in line with my TJ blasting the AC... the temp got up past 220 and I shut it down... I sat there for over an hour in 115* weather.... it was killer...
I might look into it since my temps usually sit around 205-210, but idling even in the heat we have currently (Like high 70s) it will creep past 220 until I start moving again.
When I'm stopped in traffic during 110+ summer temps, I bring the engine up to around 1200-1500 RPM. The faster engine speed turns the cooling fan, water pump, and AC compressor faster, so the AC works better and the coolant temps stay lower. I do this with the TJ and also with my other daily driver.
Yeah I could claim that, but I was really just paying attention to what I needed - the AC to blow cooler while sitting at traffic lights.A common driving practice in the 60's and 70's ! Good job ! You pay attention to what your vehicle needs .
I scrubbed my hardtop with magic erasers and gave it a bath afterward. But why was it so nasty. Goodness. These are what my magic erasers looked like after cleaning one side of my hardtop. I used two magic erasers.
I finally get a day to myself, been working 6 (and sometimes 7 days) a week the last month and a bit…. So I’m off to ‘ The Beach Hop’ this Saturday. ( this is a massive hot rod and classic car show that takes over a small surf town)
I go every year and I’m really looking forward to it.
So in prep I gave my TJ a bath and will do the usual fluid checks before I head out in a couple days….
I used magic erasers on my TJ once and my Jeep disappeared !!![]()
Did a quick "wash" on my TJ using this stuff. First time trying it and I have to say I'm impressed. Also put some Back-To-Black on the fender flares. Yea, the clear coat on the hood is showing it's age.
