That gas is going to eat through those milk jugs, and probably make the gas even shittier.

Thanks for the history lesson. I always thought the truck was cool, that makes it even more cool that it's always been in the family.

Jack up the front end so the radiator cap is higher than the engine or use one of those no spill funnel things that raise the water level another 6" or so at the cap (if that's enough height)...? Or can you fill at both the rad and the "steam cap" to fill in the otherwise hard to fill areas? I know my G35 had a stupid plug in one of the water hoses on the back of the engine for this and they're notoriously hard to burp (it seemed very simple knowing that plug was there, though ) .

What about even more basic stuff, like using water only with water wetter (dunno what your coolant ratio is but you live in the SW I believe and don't have to worry about freezing temps?)? Or a radiator cap that's a couple PSI higher. As long as everything passes a coolant pressure test, I'd try replacing the cap and coolant ratio if you haven't. Otherwise if the radiator fails or has a leak, put a nicer/thicker one in it and I bet you'd be all set.

While true (only slightly, about 10 degrees F with a 50/50 mix to 223F), pressure in the system also raises the boiling point of water more significantly. It's like how pressure cookers work, pressurize the container to increase the boiling temp. Antifreeze keeps it from freezing below 0 and lowers the freeze point much more significantly.  The cooling capacity of a 50/50 mix is less because the specific heat (ability to absorb heat basically) of pure water is better than almost any fluid out there.Water wetter is just something to help lube the water pump IIRC. Any maybe it does something to help against corrosion if you're running pure water. Most track cars/race cars use this combo since you aren't allowed to run coolant (slippery if dumped on track) and it cools better than ethylene glycol anyway. We're applying race car technology to your Jeep!

My buddy has a GT and has talked swaps before. Looks difficult with the constraints to me. Any plans for the suspension? I was always dumbfounded about the transverse leaves in front and figured that would further complicate things. Glad the engine is ok, even if you're already talking about other options.

I've had a crappy fuel pressure regulator do that with no other symptoms. Maybe you'll escape dropping the tank...? GL

IOwnCalculus posted:Anyone familiar with GM HMI modules, or the questionable GM J2534 tools on Amazon? Twice now the head unit in the Canyon - conveniently 4k miles past bumper to bumper coverage - has 'locked up' unresponsive to any control input. Problem is resolved upon turning it off (for long enough to force the HMI to power off) and on again. This problem seems to be fairly widespread across GM products, all of which use this setup, but not occurring frequently enough among any one model for anyone to actually conclusively identify a failure. Found one guy who insisted taking out the radio fuse and "turning it around" fixed it for good. Seems that more people report success with paying a dealer $texas to replace the HMI. You could try seeing if the dealer/shop could do a software update on it.

This is the first garage I've ever had with windows anywhere but the top row of the door, though. My Michigan place has a bit fat one running down the center of it.

What's the year? I can try to look up the trouble tree for that code. E: 2016-18 there's a TSB for that code. If yours is newer though... 1. Ignition On. Verify no other DTCs are set ⇒ If any other DTCs are set Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle ⇓ If no other DTCs are set 2. Verify DTC P1474, P1475, P1476, P1477, P1478, P1479, P147B, or P1488 is not set. ⇒ If the DTC sets Replace the B136 Exhaust Particulate Matter Sensor. ⇓ If the DTC does not set 3. All OK.  If there's a code, replace sensor. Otherwise, ok!

If you need any service info, lemme know. Should be fairly straightforward as you said though.

If nothing else it probably has more info on DTCs and conditions which they set, and associated codes that sometimes set at the same time.

I love that VW doesn't use real tpms. Great when swapping winter wheels. But yeah that's on the owner to say least mildly pay attention. Battery stuff seems nice for early warning detection. Better to check codes and see it than end up stranded in a couple weeks I guess?
