I'm not the exact fluid amount. Every 03 I work on is slightly different. Different radiators, hose configurations, different expansion tanks etc. so they're not all exactly the same as people have changed up these cars so much over the years. I just have a little extra in my bucket and then save what I don't use for later.

There is a clip available for the dome light switch to keep them off. If you put in a V8 you will want to do a WJ brake swap as well. since with 33" your brakes are gonna suck. Dana 30 is the front diff. I have a 2004 TJ and am swapping to a XJ high pinion Dana 30 in front and a Explorer 8.8 in the back both with 4.10's along with the WJ brake mod with JKS steering linkage using WJ tie rod ends. Take your beastie to an oil spray undercoating place and have them spray the inside of the frame. You will be glad you did.

Great video and info. I am seriously considering this for my Megasquirt set up. How do you "gracefully “ shut down the pi.
@MalcolmV8 2 ай бұрын
You need a power supply board that works like a UPS. It's wired directly to battery power and also to the ignition switch. When you key off it just pulls a pin low on the Pi letting it know you have the ignition switch off. At that point it turns the screen off and an internal counter starts. After X period of time it realizes you're done driving and gone and the Pi begins to gracefully shutdown. Once it's down there's a pin on the Pi that now goes low letting the UPS / power supply board know you've powered off and it turns itself off.

Likely the speedo is about 10% off too with the 33” tires (ie, reading too slow… unless they swapped the speedo gear to a 26 spline)… making it seems to have slower acceleration (via the speedo) than it really does. That said, the 3spd auto is not ideal in the TJ. Much more fun to drive with a 5psd manual. With proper gearing, the 4.0L can be a blast… very torquey and fun. And durable/reliable as any engine ever made! Jeeps are not about speed and HP (despite the new Rubi 392s… which, I wouldn’t want to drive a TJ with that had that kind of power😮… they aren’t designed for that (and the trouble that kind of high HP can get you into, ie, it’s not a forgiving sports car that can let you do something stupid and still recover from). They are made for off-roading, crawling, etc. That’s their Philosophy of Use. Not saying you can’t put a powerful V8 in one (you can, I have a buddy with a YJ and a hot 350 Chevy in it)… but you definitely need to be careful and not drive it stupid. Again, it’s not a sports car. On the trail you want something that can lug at low RPM and generate good torque down low… a high-winding small-block V8 would not be ideal for doing what the TJ’s POU indicates. That said, not everybody goes wheeling in them… and that’s the beauty of the Jeep. Do what you want with it… just be careful when you’re using it outside its POU parameters. ;)

So I did this minus the radiator/water pump change out. I think I overfilled the res, forgot about that tip from one of your videos to shut it down early. So I ran it, it was spilling out the res cap like a dribble. Think because the overfill. Drained some out of the res. But went for a drive this morning, and looks like a had a minor spurge(?) because I had some coolant out around the res. And the level dropped down to a couple inches above the hose at the bottom. Drove back home 10 mins. Coolant didn’t move from that spot. Never overheated. Possible I have, or had, air in system? Can I just top it off in the res? Or check out the crossover? I’m not sure why it spilled out enough like that. First time doing this on the car. Followed your video to a T really.
@MalcolmV8 4 ай бұрын
If you overfilled it then when the car got hot it had no where for the coolant to expand and it would have pushed it past the cap and made a mess. Hopefully now with the correct fluid level in your expansion tank you'll be OK. If you continue to experience issues you can drain all the coolant and start over. Don't forget to leave space in the expansion tank :)
@Gunfur 3 ай бұрын
@@MalcolmV8I didn’t have a huge mess, for as far as I can see. Like no spray on the underside of hood/windshield. But leakage for sure. I ended up opening the crossover. Couldn’t visibly see coolant.

@@Gunfur something else to keep in mind when you initially pull a vacuum the system must be empty. I normally pull the lower radiator hose off and let all the fluid drain. Otherwise air pockets can get trapped behind coolant when you pull a vacuum. So never pull a vacuum on a partially filled car as it may or may not work depending if there's air trapped behind some coolant or not.
