kastein posted:Yeah, 200 is insane. I think I could probably get one for 20-30 here. I guess I remembered wrong. I just checked the pricing list for my picknpull, they want 30 for those things. Much easier of a gamble to make now. How I came up with 200 is a mystery.

Slack3r posted:Google around for "Cherokee Taurus Fan Swap". I guess the mid 90s Taurus 3800 fans are perfect for fan swaps. The aftermarket thermostats are about $50 at the parts places. I did an e-fan conversion on an '84 Cherokee with the 4 banger engine and some other fan. Worked great. More room in the 2.5L bay than the 4.0 tho. and if you can't find a taurus fan, look under the hood of most 90's volvo's. Same fan, make sure to grab the relay pack they're hooked too as it will save you a step in wiring it up.

I grabbed one of those volvo fans and they're too freakin' huge to even come close to fitting in an XJ/MJ. Wish it'd work, because I have one here I can't use that I spent 20 or 30 bucks on. I will say that they are diesel as gently caress, they move a LOT of air.

Horrible decision results in horrible mechanical failure. Don't use trailer tow balls as recovery points.

Looks like every >100k mile o2 sensor I have ever pulled. They all seize in and take the drat threads with them. If toyota had made the little studs holding their o2 sensors in through bolts they would be my favorite car company on that basis alone.

More of a horribly annoying mechanical failure; the shift lever on my bike decided that it was done.   I normally ride a 30 mile loop. This broke at 16 in.

opengl128 posted:Nothing touches my first car (Tercel) for ease of maintenance for me personally so far. Similar to the Saturn I guess, super super basic, and loads of room, even more once I took off that intake snorkel (lets not get into my early teen ricer moments)  You've obviously not gone far back enough in time. Nothing beats the small block Chevy for ease of maintenance.

Another one that's hard to beat is an older subaru GL. Especially with a pushrod motor swap, nothing complicated at all. A lot of messy wires, but fairly simple to work on.  Related content, I 1200 miles from home living in a stupid house (ruining the driveway with leaky oil and rust), when my clutch failed. This is how I fixed that situation.   EDIT: I have a rather wide screen, maybe everyone doesn't timg'd the last 2.

So, not a horrible failure: But that piston is seized hard. Even disconnected I can't move it more than 1mm by hand.

I'd apply a G-clamp and see if it's possible to free it up that way. Then use an air blower gun shoved into the brake pipe hole to dislodge it using air pressure. Works a treat.
