Just a question because I am facing this same scenario with my 74 Jeep Cj5 with a leaking hose off the high pressure side of the pump. Can you have a heavy equipment shop for tractors make you a custom length hose to fit? With backhoes they make them all of the time for not much more than 135-189.?

I'm still looking at your videos. Maybe I have a dumb idea, I don't know, but so the wedge basically lifts the front side of the spring up, then I was thinking, well, why don't I shorten my front shackles? Wouldn't that do the same thing?

Thanks Mark....Great video. .....Concise and to the point..and great demo. Not sure where your pool is ...mine is out here in Inland Empire (Rancho ) and is already down to mid 60;s ...Oct 21.... drops a lot at night . I can swim comfortably in 70's....even low 70's...but not 60's. Not a kid anymore. Do you think this cover would keep my pool warm enough in winter ? At least some of winter ? Would really like to extend my swimming at least into Nov or so... It really gets cool in at night...into 50;s even now...But then in day is often over 80....and sunnry...well into December some years.

Has anyone found a source for 8° shims? I have a 1975 with WFO 6° shims, and they did help quite a bit. But it still has some white knuckle moments when driving along at traffic speed. As another option, I have been considering a shackle reversal. The shackle reversal adds positive caster and a plush ride but comes with a different set of negative characteristics.

You’re supposed to let your fan run after turning off your side by side until it turns off

Hi. We have parts that may fit your pool. We're happy to offer you the product completely free of charge in exchange for a video review. Are you interested?

Getting mine done now, thanks in advance for fixing my problem!

Nice fix! Always a good feeling to solve a problem like that. My cj5 wanders too. I think my steering box is worn but I’ll check the shims first. Thanks

What’s the reel?

I have a '74 CJ5. I thought about going 8 degrees but didnt kmow what would do with the angle of the front drive shaft. It handles MUCH MUCH better with a 6 degree. Thanks for the video!!

Watched your video and I would say it's a head gasket sending compression into the cooling system. Most lively a warped head due to overheating. Hope this helps. VICTORIA

Did you add till steering too?

Cuantos grados es la temperatura perfecta para rzr 900 ?

Mark I believe those chassis engineering leafs springs are made to use GM F and X body rearends as straight bolt on speedway makes a ford 9 inch with X body nova / F body mounts already welded with correct pinion angle but the the cut to fit will work also. Your fab skills are really great the Ford is really looking good appreciate the videos

Great video! Always modifying/fabricaring stuff when we are building these old cars. Love the "patina" paint job.

Mark do you still have this truck? I thought I saw it advertised on Craigslist ! I bought a 1940 ford truck just like it 2 years ago but decided to keep it stock . But I think you did a great job on the chassis mods your work is very precise I really enjoyed your videos!!

Mine is a little bit of a pia to start back up after the engine is hot and i shut if off to take a break. sometimes it takes 2-3 times to get it to stay running

I had a similar issue, I cracked the hose that connects to the motor behind the oil filter and blead out the air that way

I have my fan run all the time

It might be the pipes under the carriage that connects the radiator to the engine

How Manny degrees did you go with.

What I did was I put a funnel in the radiator an put anti freeze in it, I hooked the front of the range toy gantry hoist and with come along. I lifted the front off the ground 12" to 16" tires off the ground. I started up the engine and let it go through the water temp cycle. I saw air bubbles around the base of the funnel, but never used any of the out of the funnel. I let it cycle a couple of times. I let it down and reinstalled the cap. It was good since.

It has air trapped in the engine

Does the putty knife scratch the tile at all?

Have you already solved the problem? mine is the same and I can't find a fix😢 Rzr 800. 2009

It’s normal my rzr 2013 lik it I have it before 3 years No problem ❤

I’ve been using solar blankets for many years. Definitely the clear one (or white one) does the best job. We’ve tried blue and blue/black in the past. Currently I use a 1200 weight blanket with round bubbles (didn’t like the diamond shaped bubbles) My 25 year old reel rod isn’t straight anymore due to rough handling and overall age so I’m looking for a replacement. Sun2solar looks like it’s well made so I’ll probably get one of those. Thanks for the review. Btw, in the Midwest it’s not as hot, I use 4 of those 2’by20’ black poly solar panels and run the water through with a dedicated 12 v irrigation style diaphragm water pump on timer and control by a smart switch. The pump generally runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and it pushes 2-3 gallons per minute with average temperature step-up of 8-15 degrees depending on the sun.

Temperature sensor is in the engine which is HOT. When you turn it off the coolant quits circulating through the radiator and the engine heats it up - which is where the sensor is. And that is what you are showing. Coolant does not boil at 212 degrees - more like 223 degrees for 50/50, and higher under pressure.

hey i have a 98 yz400f i’m trying to make street legal, i’m not super well known with this stuff and was wondering if i could get in contact with you about how you got everything to work, thank you and love your video!

Hi sir thank you for your videos where did you get the power pump and the brakets any part number please thanks in adavance

I also have 74 cj5 !!! Will be watching how u switch to power steering.

I must join this club 2014 800 overheats every time I try to go for a ride.

Hello my fan dosn't turn off, always is on, what could it be? Thanks

Mark, does the whole kit just bolt on? I have a 40 with original rear suspension that I’m toying with possibly doing some rest mod to

Behind the passenger seat there a big bolt behind that there’s a 8mm Allen screw is the bleeder for the coolant system crack it and let all the air out of the system if the radiator is cold but the engine is hot this is more than likely the problem

"It will give you something to do because you don't got shit to do anyway. your on youtube." Got me on that one.

Great helpful video…one question on the reel: do you know the part-model number from Sun2Solar? The one they say I need for the same size 1600 series(22x40) is $450. THANKS!

Having this problem right now have you still not figured it out?

Can you leave the pool cover on for a few days? Can you also run the skimmer/pool pump while the cover is on?

Mine is doing the same thing it's a 22 1000 XP high lifter. Also the temp gauge keeps going up and down.

Hi..your video was very useful. Do you have the product link for the reel that you use?

Sounds like head gasket issues

i know this is old but on my ‘74 i had to put a brace in from box to opposite frame rail. forgot where i got it but it bolts right up in minutes and solved my final bit of wandering.

If my frame had been stock I would have definitely gone with this kit. Looks great!

I finally got my Jeep on the road converted to power steering and that has no issue I guess I got lucky lot of good information thank you

My 2010 is doing the exact same thing. Have you figured out what's doing it or how to fix it?

how old are your tires also if you change the alignment camber angle by 1 degree could improve. also definitely you are missing rubber bushings on leaf shackles

You have air in the lines

Installed steering stabilizer wider tires at list 31 or bigger and grease able shackles, I have 1976 CJ-5 and it’s solved .The jeep goes up to 90 miles per hr. And make sure your front tires are balanced .

Check ididit. You get what you pay for, as far as quality. The cheaper have bad reviews. Plus they plug into the painless kits, and they have column shift with tilt. I got a universal 30 in tilt. 3 in drop.
