at school hooked it up to a vacuum gauge and it was a little jumpy not to good...pulled plugs for compression test saw signs of pre-ignition on the autolite spark plugs commenced with compression check cylinder 1,3,4,5, and 6 within spec and cylinder 2 below spec...attempted cylinder leakdown test but ran out of time...current prognosis from teacher change plus to oem champions and bring in some seafoam to de-carbonize then re-do compression test so spark plugs tomorrow (no school) and re-test and de-carbonization monday...

Tried to figure out why my blower ran isn't working. No luck so far. Going to work on it more tomorrow and try to fix the T-case linkage again.

$311 shipped direct from KOR. pricey, but big & beefy! it'll probably outlast my rig.... installed myself....relatively easy process. i chose the KOR over the IRO only because it's fully adjustable from 0-8" of lift. i'm @ stock height now, but only a few parts shy of my 3.5" lift. i had bad dw, so i had to replace asap. by the way, today i picked up some lucas oil top-end & injector fuel treatment for $9 @ the local parts store. filled her up & i could feel just a bit more get-up in her.
can't wait 'til i get back to the jy for some more goodies................

Lets see I just finished fixing my T-case linkage hopefully for the last time,
Tightened my belt and tested all the lights. Still can't figure out why I have no backup lights.
Checked all my suspension bolts and made sure there all tight.
Tried to figure out why my blower fan stopped working. Pulled the climate control and its all hooked up. Pulled the blower fan out and have power getting to it. Wired it up to the battery and nothing happens. It is pretty rusty and dirty inside.
She ready for Saturday nights Halloween ride. Just need some gas and some air in the tires.

Not really "to my Jeep" but the day before yesterday I got an 80CF Ar/Co2 bottle for my welder. Then I burned in some nice clean welds. My front bumper is now like 95% done.
I have to burn in 4 braces, 2 tiny pieces and most of the work left is really grinding.
I HATE grinding steel. It takes FOREVER, is loud, dirty and generally just a PITA.
