    That's the thing you're learning now. This motors are amazing! I'm so in love with my CJ! I have a 180F thermostat headed here for when I swap out the injection pump to the mechanical pump. I think it'll be fine since you're running 188F on yours.
    So glad you got it working. So happy for you.

    That laugh of conquering a major pita!

      That laugh was over 3 years in the making. So many struggles and so many times I had to just preserver through obstacles to get to this point, I know I sound like a madman but I feel nothing but pure joy right now at what I have built!

    How do you like the 2 low transfer case?

    • @RustyAutoholicGuy
      @RustyAutoholicGuy  Рік тому

      I actually forgot it put 2 low in the transfer case! I need to go check it and make sure I can get into 4 lo now that you mentioned it. I haven't used it much off road yet, and when I do it's just with 4 Hi.

    Grant, I'm so glad you fix them transmission issue! Make sure you get your daughter a Mocha Latte (or whatever her drink of choice is). It's so cool to see the old Jeep running around, but the motor noise was strange, I kept expecting to hear a 4.0 not your little turbo diesel.

      Thank you so much Forest! I need to get her a Latte your right. As for the noise, the diesel rattle doesn't get me, however the noise of the turbo still confuses me!

      @@RustyAutoholicGuy you'll get used to the turbo quick! But now looking at video of a TJ, I keep expecting to hear the 4.0, it's like my brain is expecting a certain sound to a specific vehicle. I'm sure you're going to get fantastic fuel mileage out of that configuration.

    • @RustyAutoholicGuy
      @RustyAutoholicGuy  2 роки тому +1

      I sure hope so and I'll figure out the fuel economy soon enough, there are a few things I still need to adjust and tune before I start doing some fuel economy tests with this TJ!
