Found another one.

This is a small “access way” to the engine, behind the hood catch on the driver’s side.

Could this be for the wiring for a blackout light?

When the pan fell off the filter, could you tell if there was gas mixed in with the oil?

The reason I’m asking is to ascertain if gas has gotten into your crankcase, and is being forced up the oil filler tube and into your air filter (and then from there, possibly into your carb)

BODY and trim / Body “things”

« on: September 11, 2022, 06:08:17 PM »

I’m guessing that a lot of these body “things” came over from the military versions. But there’s a few I don’t get…

The long rectangular one on the hood, I’m guessing, is for a two battery access port, and the triangular one on the side is for a snorkel.

But what are these for (near the firewall, and driver rear)?

An oil bath air filter may look like this…

trijjicon,

When the Jeep was stalling, was it smoking?

If you have an oil bath filter, have you inspected it for water?

Thanks, guys!
Great advice; I’ll post again with the results.

Yes, Rus, the video was from KW - without the tub.

Chassis, brakes and suspension. / Brake & Clutch Pedal Cross Shaft

« on: September 07, 2022, 12:02:51 PM »

Hi.

I am looking to replace this part. The only tutorials I can find show this cross shaft being replaced with the Jeep body completely removed.

Can this part be removed & replaced without taking the body off?

I ask this because I'm not sure if there is enough space where the pedals come through the firewall. Is there enough room to move the pedals sideways to get them off the old cross shaft and put them on the new cross shaft?

Thanks!

Tchara, you might give Salvage Jeep Parts & Service in Georgia a call.

It also may be that your JDMSPEED is bad. I went through three of those “universal” switches (2 from KW and 1 from Amazon) earlier this year. All had bad internal wiring. I bought my fourth one, this time a a Signal-stat, for three times as much, but it works.

Bringing this post up again…

For my ‘61 CJ5, is there a recommended idle RPM?

Right now, it’s at 1,000

It runs fine, I’m just wondering if it should be that high (my single wire alternator runs constantly).

Thanks!
