Engine compartment / Re: Oil Leaks
« on: May 20, 2023, 11:21:46 AM »
Chuck I had a leaking oil pan a few years ago but did not have an extra one. One leak was a weld where the skid plate attached to the oil pan, silver soldered it. The other leak was the drain plug, JB Welded that one. The JB has held up well.

Rus thanks for the heads up. Lots of reading there. Derek has certainly even busy. I didn’t know you can click on the vehicle image to open all that info.

Looks like I waited to long to get my additional wiring from Walck’s. Bummer.

Tow hook thank you for the tip. If at a later date I decide to go with led’s  I will certainly consider your approach. Thanks again.

Terry I can’t thank you enough for your assistance. Having never messed with turn signals or even had them I had not
paid any attention to how to install them. The sequence of operation is very helpful in confirming my thoughts on how they should work.

When we return from our trip i will start the installation and will be sure to let you know how it went.
Bill

Terry that’s good info and a time saver. I appreciate it.

Question on the front lights wiring. As I understand the diagram. I will remove the existing  wire from the light switch that feeds the front lights. Then I will run the appropriate  wire from the signal harness to the respective front light.

The light switch terminal, where the original front/rear lights were connected, feeds the voltage to the signal harness to energize the front and rear lights when the light switch is activated. And basically the same for the rear. Correct?

Steve the bulb chart will be really useful. Thanks, I have saved it.

Terry crazy internet concerning the socket. The first link you sent say it is not available, the second says it is. Did you use led’s all around or only for the front?

I am getting my parts ordered and am anxious to get the signals installed. Will be the first Jeep I have had that had turn signals. No more unzipping windows and sticking the old arm out into cold or wet weather.

We are prepping for a RV road trip into Montana, Colorado, etc. and will begin as soon as we return.

Thanks again for your info.
Bill

Terry..... man I appreciate all of the info. So I can keep my original 6 volt single wire front light sockets and #51 bulb, correct? The front lights will still work as parking light, right. I have already added the second tail light.

I noticed the flasher you used is for an led bulb and is not available currently. Are there special flashers required for this installation or will any 6 volt flasher work? I noticed that SignalStat specs a flasher but I doubt that it is available.
Are the flasher pin socket configurations universal?

On edit - doing a little research on the parking light bulbs.
The SignalStat diagram calls for a 1129 bulb, if it’s too big then use a 81 bulb. You mention a 51 bulb. All three bulbs are available. Is the 51 bulb the go-to bulb? If so ... why, I do get a little curious.LOL Thanks

Thanks Russ that’s exactly what I will do. I do want the wiring to match what I have.

No you are not to late. I’ve been waiting on the weather to warm up some before starting the project. Thanks for the pics and tips on what the innerds look like and what to expect when opened up.
What did you do to get the front lights to work? Thanks.

Rus and athawk11  thank you for the ideas and tips. I will get in touch with Harry next week, leaving on a weekend trip tomorrow.
Does Walck’s carry a separate wiring harness for turn signals? I installed his wiring harness a couple of years ago not thinking I would ever want turn signals. It would sure look good to have the same type wire covers for the turn signals.

Thanks for all the tips guys.
I’m shopping eBay and waiting on a complete and decent looking unit. Still hoping a forum member may see this post and have a nice one for sale.

Thanks Steve I saw those last night. I’m going to hold out for one that is complete and known to be working. No rush on my part. Thanks again. BillT

Buy, Sell, Trade / Signal Stat 800 wanted

Looking for a good Signal Stat 800. Thanks.

Yes Mark that is what I’m finding out during my searches. What bulb are you running for the front lights? I understand there can be a bulb length issue. I have found installation instructions, thanks to forum members. What would be the best way to find a good 800? I find some available on eBay but they are untested and no returns, I would be better off throwing my $49.95 in the trash can. I had rather just keep watching the Jeep forums and buy one from an established member.
So if you or any other forum member have a lead on one please let me know.
Thanks Mark

Earl and Derek I must not have worded my search words very well. Thank you for your tips. I’m still not sure I will add the turn signals since my goal with this Jeep was to put it back to original equipment. But it seems some folks today do not understand directional hand signals, but they can be free to offer me their finger signal.😡 LOL
