    PSA: Robert Shaw Thermostat

    No problems, been running in my LJ for 3 years. Reinstalled in the 4.7L stroker I just finished.

    She runs better every day. Definite butt-dyno gains! Tuning is scheduled for Friday morning.

    Nevada MORE Bomb-Proof block brackets

    Reno-Sparks area, pick up only. Brackets are primed and painted AMC blue. Less than 500 miles on them. Solid construction, quality parts. Not compatible with aftermarket headers.

    2005 TJ cooling system parts change in Texas

    I know it’s an old thread; however, should be Zerol G-05 for a 2005. Pale orange coolant.

    Denso A/C compressor help

    Take it to an AC shop and have them leak test and charge it. That way they hold the responsibility to get it right.

    First oil change, 80 miles. Looks good to me, unless I’m missing something

    SHE LIVES AGAIN!!!! Running well now, and she has earned her new decals. Had serious overheating issue on day 1 with the electric Taurus fan I’ve been running for years. Swapped back to the factory fan, and hasn’t gone past the 0 in 210 since. Apparently, Chrysler’s engineers knew how to...

    RaceTec claims the piston will ship today. I’ll believe them when it arrives by Friday. I did install some grill screens today. Hopefully will keep leaves and shit from piling up in front of the radiator.

    Also Racetec. Russ is pulling his hair out, he’s waiting on 15 sets, and I think this is week 8. It’s the 3rd week Racetec has told me, “it will ship late this week or early next.” 🤦‍♂️

    Also installed a B&M Sport shifter this week. It seems overpriced for what it is, but if it performs as advertised it’s worth it. First impression: shifting feels crisper, and the short throw will keep my knuckles out of the dash and my passenger’s lap. Seems good so far. Engine is still on hold...

    Update: yes, you can add run an antenna cable into the cab through that point, but I do not recommend it unless the dashboard is getting removed. The install requires drilling through 2 layers of sheet metal 1” apart (too far for Rotabroach), and the inside surface is very difficult to reach...

    Can anyone confirm that this is just sheet metal that I could drill through and install a grommet for a GMRS antenna cable?
