Correct me if I’m wrong. What you meant was spray the belt and not the alternator? I agree with a squirt of anything on the belt to quite it for a second. Even brakleen will do it. It didn’t sound like they were dealing with a belt squeal to me, but more like a bearing issue with an accessory by...

You ford rivers to the point your alternator is submerged? You must have an awesome snorkel!

I’ve never had my engine covered in water from driving in the rain. Just checked from driving in to work in the rain. Dry as a bone. If you look up any procedures for engine washing, every one will tell you to avoid spraying the alternator or ignition system. You do you, what do I know.

I’d strongly advise against spraying water into electrical components

Take the belt off and run it around the block. Start with a cold engine and keep an eye on your temp gauge. Your water pump won’t be turning and you won’t have power steering of course. You can get 10-15 minutes in before the engine hits operating temp. That’ll help you zero in on it.

New doesn’t always mean good. I have installed countless new/bad parts over the years. ESPECIALLY aftermarket brands. Hopefully you still have your old sensors. I’d swap them one at a time, starting with the easier ones to get to. It doesn’t sound like an engine problem and a vacuum leak...

What ever they do, they shouldn’t list any tail lights anytime soon. For some strange reason the market is flooded with used Savvy tail lights right now 😂

Count me in! I’m still putting my fenders on, but I’ll zip tie everything into a hay bail and run with one fender if I have to.

Lately, even domestic manufacturers are using them. All the GM products in my fleet have Denso starters and alternators from the factory. The Duramax diesels have Denso engine electronic parts. Being built by Isuzu, that’s a given though. It had already begun when I began my career, but I saw...

You can run an auto radiator. No coolant comes out the tranny line fittings. You don’t even need to put plugs in them like most people do.

I hope you’re ok. If not a speedy recovery. I couldn’t find a mopar, so I went with a denso. It’s the same style radiator, and denso, although not as popular for domestic vehicles, has never let me down on quality for over 25 years in the business.

My 01 has a 4wd and a part time light, but only the part time is active. My guess is foreign markets maybe?

Thank you kindly!

Sounds like our builds are pretty similar. We’ll have to compare notes 😂 I went with the 12 ton press cause I new it would be enough for doing everything I’d do. Then regretted not getting the 20 when I saw swags metal brake that’s built to go on that press. 😞

My schedule is fluid at the moment for all three of those days. I could do whatever works for everyone else

I haven’t heard of the HardRock. I’ll have to look that up. Nice! What suspense did you go with? Since your so close, if you ever need any help or tool loan, don’t hesitate to ask. I have a pretty set up shop for fab work. My crown jewels are my 70 amp plasma cutter and welders for steel and...

Smart man! Get everyone their own Jeep so they don’t touch yours. I guess that’s what I’ve doing subconsciously 🤣

I feel you there. We have a 1 month away from 16 daughter that has the Jeep bug bad. I’ve started keeping my eye open for a fixer upper starter for her. I drug an old project out of the weeds to have a gas friendly commuter for more Jeep money. It’s hard to go from a lifted Jeep to a lowered...

Thank you! They get so scratched up on the fitting and installing. Im gonna try the red scratch pad and WD40 thing afterwards. Sorry if I’m making this thread too much about me. I did open a new member thread, but not a build thread yet.

I wish I had MTR’s ☹️ I’ve been keeping an eye out for a while now. My new wheels are just sitting around all naked like. Do you have a better half slowly trying to take over your JLURD like mine? 😂
