FORGOTTEN Jeep CJ5! Will it RUN & TRAIL after 16 Years?!

[@johnmaguire8689]

Theres nothing better than seeing a guy bonding with his family. Memories are being made, good work Daddy

[@sableann4255]

your kids will always remember this!

[@paulmancinelli5911]

My first vehicle I bought when I was 18 was a 72 CJ5. 304 V8, 3speed, headers,4 barrel. It had 12" wide tires on 15" wagon wheel rims. It was an absolute beast! Climbed like a goat! But like all Jeeps the body literally rotted off the frame. I had a lot of good times and great memories with that truck.

[@aarongrabowski3775]

You and your old man have been killing it lately. Thx for all the video’s. I really like this channel

[@rustybum2]

Your children are a delight! Value this precious time with them because believe me, in an eye blink, they will be all grown up and leaving home. Thanks for sharing and best regards from Ireland.

[@Kilnor]

I love that you got your kids involved in cleaning it out! You have a beautiful family! Great video!!!!!

[@donaldparlett7708]

The kids will remember this for years.

[@BudgetBuildz]

I sure hope! ☺️ It’s fun having them enjoy some of this with us! They have their own personal rescue coming along very soon too!

[@christianlutes5593]

Been driving Jeeps for 34 years, my first was a CJ5 from a yard sale on Lake Superior.

[@bryanch3549]

I learned to drive a 1965 CJ5 handed down through my family. Ours had shifter on the column with a warn overdrive. I wish I had it to this day but it was handed down to my two younger brothers for them to learn to drive and use. Stayed in the family 55 years but my driving on the beach in Florida just eventually ate the frame up. Thanks for the memories.

[@Rebel9668]

Love it! I had a '78 CJ5 back in the late 80's-early 90's. That 258 straight six is one bulletproof engine. You can put it in 1st gear in 4 low against a tree and step out of it and watch it slowly dig itself into the ground, lol.

[@gregdrmax]

Yes. Just seen it today. Your new fuel pump. If it’s a Delphi take it back. Puts out nearly 17 psi. Needs to be 1/2 of that

[@mikebracey8832]

The Delphi pumps have the wrong spring. Some will pump 30# psi.

[@Burnside1905]

Yeah same thing happened with Low Buck Garage and his $2 Jeep

[@alanwhite4456]

Yep, Delphi fuel pumps are total crap! Waaay too strong springs.

[@jesperdahl1486]

I just saw the 2$ Jeep video like 8 hours ago. LOL

[@claytoncoolidge992]

​@mikebracey8832 it's for the fuel Injection swap for those who don't want to find a way to make provisions for an electric fuel pump 😂

[@TheKeymaster316]

Man, between you and Derik this week with VGG, ya'll are killing me. I had a 91 Wrangler years ago before my girls were born and got rid of it soon after my first born. It was, without a doubt, one of the funnest vehicles I've ever owned. Nothing like taking the top and doors off and just taking a ride.

[@onemannews]

VGG has sold out to the corporations. I don't watch him any more

I have a 77 CJ7 that I daily drive. It was a barn find, I slowly restored every system and upgraded evertying I could to make a fun vintage family criuser. Take the top off and cruise around town or in the mountains. Man I love this Jeep. Keep up the good work on your CJ5, I can't wait to see it back on the road permently.

[@bradleybennett6768]

Glad to see the kids helping.

[@AeRoSpaceman-1]

I'll tell you what. I learned something so simple that I have never thought about until watching this video. Filling up your oil filter in the box. Yeah, I know most of you know this, but it's a good tip. Saves cleaning!

[@bigbill709]

My Dad had a couple old Willy's cj2 Jeep back in the day he used to take us 3 boys plus our mom ridge riding we called it Jeep riding fun times.

[@zeitgeist57]

SAME ISSUE last year. I had my '75 CJ-5 flooding the engine with a chinaBay Carter YFA carb...turned out that after 3 different new mechanical fuel pumps I couldn't get the fuel pressure down. Ended up with a dead-head fuel pressure regulator and an inline gauge to give it 5-7 psi and it worked great.

[@mikescudder4621]

Good thing the previous owner installed that passenger hand rail for the wife! Good to see the family enjoying the trail, pretty cool section you have there!!

[@applefordguy76]

I haven't finished the vid yet, but @lowbuckgarage had the same fueling issue you had, brand new Delphi pump had way too much fuel pressure. Napa had a non Delphi brand and solved the issue. Had almost 8 lbs at first, when he got the Napa pump it was around 4. Softer spring in the Napa pump got him less pressure. And just got to point where you found the problem lol. Funny, he had the same issue in this week's video!

[@TheoriginalSpaceboy]

You saved me a job Mate!! I was just about to mention this.

[@kennethsonier1766]

Good morning from Cape Cod ⚓ 10 years old in 1974, I learned to drive a 1953 Willy's Jeep. Good memories. Yeah the only drawback to owning a Jeep is all the rust, especially here in New England 😂 it was great watching you and your family having a good time. Keep up the great work guys 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@Friskee62]

I had a very cool blue 1977 CJ5...loved it.

[@1gatomon]

Sometimes you have to get a pressure regulator and put it in the line between the pump and carb. They are not that expensive. Normally between 3 to 5 pounds are all you need.

[@MegaTapdog]

Thanks, you brought back many fond memories, I used to take my daughter wheeling in my ‘72 cj 304 that i rebuilt from the ground up. She loved it, that was 30 years ago. Fast forward to now, retired and just acquired a ‘74 cj5 304 and am going to do start tearing her down tomorrow. Thanks for the video, and the memories, you have a wonderful family and We will be following you.

Those little Jeeps are awesome fun to hit the mountains in. Shame they’re weren’t more of them around so everyone you can save will be a plus for outdoor fun. Fun video great job

[@vintagetintrader1062]

Low Buck Garage had exactly the same issue with the 258 fuel pump on a late 1960s Cherokee, he found eventually that the pump with the ‘two towers’ flows around 7psi. That pump you purchased will be triple that

[@robr4662]

Was about to say the same thing. Certainly some factory got the spring wrong in those mechanical fuel pumps.

[@trolling3548]

I just bought a 72 cj5 with the 4.2l. super excited to tear into it. Luckily it has a new carb, and the ignition has all been sorted, runs like a champ.

[@danf4616]

You and Pole Barn Garage are the best in the "worst, rusted out, and messed up" cars category! You guys really can find some "winners!" 👍👍

[@hayneshvac2]

I know some Chrysler products came with a fuel filter that had a built-in return line to return any excess pressure to the fuel tank, Wix 33054. I know this because My old Dodge St. Regis had one, and I tried to replace it with a standard return line and had the same issue. This issue would arise also if the return line got plugged. Basically, these fuel pumps were higher volume, and helped compensate vapor lock after higher demand such as high RPM, or heavy load I would assume. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@nigelbullock9039]

You guys are quite amazing. Brilliant skills on show, educating thousands at the same time and not giving up. Your kids will have memories for life in that Jeep.

Been seeing in earlier videos what I thought was a 1970's Fiat 124 Spider in the background. This video confirms it. Will be looking forward to what you plan for it. Not many around that survived their rust issues. I had a 1974 as a daily driver for 8 years, wish I still had it today.

[@lateefcarrere1649]

What a start to the week - an ol' CJ brought back to life! And you got the Mrs. to ride in it! Cool beans! Now if you get a hand vacuum pumps to check out vacuum advance, you'll be doing alright. 😁👍

[@jeraldjaquet7650]

Another channel had a new jeep fuel pump that was way over pressure from Napa got a different one and worked fine

[@revivalranch4231]

Idk what it is about CJs, but I drug home a 73 that sat for 14 years. When we got the brakes "working," it would make a left turn if you even breathed on the pedal. It had a 2 barrel weber conversion in it. Made for some good power, but man, was it scary to drive. I really enjoy yalls content. Keep it up.

[@fgpriceinc]

From what I've heard about marine applications with mechanical fuel pumps, you need to shim or space out the pump from the block to get the proper pressure. I suspect that is the reason they supply two gaskets now a days. Worth a try.

[@DJLewProductionsInc]

Excellent, the kids look like they had a blast!

nice little easy revival. Should be a fun project.

[@jackempson3044]

I had an old CJ5 I rebuilt to pristine condition. It was a really fun car. I sold it easily for top dollar. Kind wish I would have kept it. That and my Volkswagen bus camper van were my favorite cars.

[@rayolson1882]

Many Jeeps in this era utilized a fuel filter with 3 connections. The smaller 1/4 inch line returned fuel to the tank. especially at idle. While under acceleration , I believe that they thought a higher fuel pressure would assure proper fuel delivery. At an idle the higher pressure from the fuel pump will bleed off thru the return line to the tank. If this line was blocked off or not used , the carb would flood when not under load. Many of these return lines were rusted away or plugged. I have found this three line system used by AMC, Jeep, GM and Dodge. I started servicing fuel systems in 1966 and still am in the trade today. I hope this may help. Ray O

[@wesselmarais2507]

Check Low Buck Garage explain that fuel pump problem. When you took that pump out the box I just knew what was going to happen

[@paulog8813]

Last week I asked you to make a series on the Mercedes Pagoda. By coincidence I’ve some cars that you already worked on, like the 1974 VW Rabbit, 1976 Volvo 245 Wagon, 1989 BMW 320, 1978 MGB convertible and last but not least, while studying in California I had a 74 Fiat 124 Spider, like the one in the side of the CJ, that bring me lots of good memories. Kkkk So I waiting on a revival of this one. A real fun little car. Greetings

[@scottcarmichael805]

[@linwoodlane5721]

put a fuel pump pressure gauge in line on the mechanical pump and test it . on some cars its possible to put a spacer between the pump and block , this means the lever moves less therefor less output pressure

[@bigbill709]

Been playing with amcs alot, you need a bypass fuel filter for the stock pump.

[@exposingthetruth3821]

Had mine running in a few hours, sat 25 years. Needed wheel cylinders, carb rebuild, gas tank which i ran off a boat tank, fuel filter, hoses, belts, tires. Prob something else. These jeeps were made for kindergarten kids to fix.

[@MaryCardinal]

Low Buck Garage had the same problem with the fuel pump it the latest episode. The new fuel pump spring was too stiff and replacing with a better more expensive fuel pump fixed the fuel pressure issue.

Great video! I was excited to see the resurrection of the Jeep. Still have one..just slightly better as I have a hard top and doors. Then I saw your Duster. I had a similar as my first car. I think yours is in better shape. Mine bent at the pillar off roading. I was a stupid kid. Then an MG! Another car I got running. We must be long lost family. Keep up the great videos, your family is awsome!

[@rhiantaylor3446]

Latest from Low Buck Garage had the same problem. Almost all replacement new pumps (he found) had too strong a spring resulting in way too high fuel pressure.

[@andywashburn593]

Napa has a mechanical fuel pump that pumps about 7psi. I have a 1980 CJ7 that has a 258cid it’s supposed to have a fuel filter with a return to the tank on it.

[@spicydeath82]

AMCs often used a filter that had a fuel return as the pump puts out more psi than the carb actually needs. so it could be the stock carb was fine, but needed a fuel return filter. older fords used a similar filter as well and that's what i used on my 72 gremlin.

[@spicydeath82]

also those motors had hydraulic lifters, so some of the noise could be from them being dirty and partially collapsed. might be an idea to run lifter cleaner thru the oil and see if they clean up. tranny fluid can work as well.

[@scotfield3950]

Thank you ! You are a very blessed man

[@jonpeters2700]

The noise your hearing is not the throughout bearing, it is the transmission making the noise while in neutral with the clutch out. The throughout bearing is not engaged with the clutch out, only when you push on the clutch in is the throughout bearing engaged, if the throughout bearing was engaged at all times it would wear out very quickly. You can use a fuel pressure regulator to keep the newer fuel pump from flooding the carburetor.

Hi Budget Buildz! I like the work that you made on car's, especially to see you working on an old RV. I also particulary like the car who have take fire and that you repair recently.

Check out Low Buck Garage, in his last video he had the same issue with a new fuel pump and it was on a 6 cylinder Jeep Wagoneer. It turned out to be the make of fuel pump had a way to strong internal spring that was producing about 20 psi. Start watching at 38:40
