Full Size Jeep Network

Started dressing the motor and setting the radiator.
Was going to leave the stock rad in but I had a cross flow with in/out both on the passenger side. It's going to work better. The outlet from the engine will be practically a straight shot. Going to replace the thermo housing with a straight one and then it will be almost a straight shot.

There's the housing I'm going to use:


Engine outlet to radiator inlet:


Radiator outlet to engine inlet. Going to replace the thermo housing for a straight one.






Radiator and fan I used on the Cummins Jeep. Also on the front side is a tranny cooler. Need to finish the upper and lower radiator mounts.





Can barely see the tranny cooler hear.

Didn't do much today. Getting ready for my surgery on Monday so had a bunch of honey do's. Bassically I won't be working on it till after Xmas. Sucks but hopefully my pain will be gone.

Mounted the fuel pressure regulator (subject to move) and put the IAC and TPS on the throttle body.

Going to the Dr tomorrow to hopefully get this cast off my leg. Then back to work on the Jeep
Sucks to wheel by it each day and can't do anything.
Goal is ECI, we'll see...............

Doc says I'm healing good. Ease weight back on over the next month. Gotta clean the garage out some. Wife thought it was a good dumping ground since I couldn't do anything about it.

Worked on my gauges this evening. I want the stock look but good gauges that work. For the volt and temp I found some reverse (upside down) gauges.

Basically I'm gutting the stock and fitting the new ones. I got one side done.
Think I'll leave it say "AMP" for the stock look but it's a voltmeter.

Where did you find the gauges? Do they have a tach to go with them in some type of stock set up?

I used a mixture of 4 different gauges. Speedo is the stock. It's not a bolt in application. I did a lot of trimming, cutting, fabing to get them to fit and look like stock.

I pretty much finished the gauges. I'd like to get some orange marking paint and paint all the needles the same.

Temperature gauge






Fuel gauge






Voltmeter




Oil pressure

End result:






Back of the temperature and fuel gauge.




Back of the voltmeter and oil pressure







The front looks stock




Need to wire it up. Gonna try and use the original connector and terminated the circuit board. I cut and trimmed a lot so I can't use it anyways.

Nice work. Thanks for the info.

Started the task of wiring tonight. Taking it all apart then build it back with what I need. Think they use 5 rolls of tape in these harnesses.

Finished pulling the harness apart tonight. Looks like a mess but it's not that bad.




Pulled the wires I needed out. Only gonna use about 1/3 of the stock harness.




What I need




What I don't need.

Next I'll hook all the sensors up and route the wires. Hook the ECM up and work on the body harness.

I only had one o2 connector in my harness so I'll have to find another. They use 4 but really only need ones on the manifolds.

The other two O2 sensors (B1S2,B2S2) are nice if you are running cats, they tell you when the cats stop working.

Which do you need? I most likely have extras.

One of these:

I'm out of town for the weekend, but I'll check when I get home.

Most of the engine harness is routed. Have a couple left to route (o2 and IAT). Gonna wait to loom it all till I'm done and make sure everything works.



Front cam sensor for the newer LSA cams.

Started mocking up where the fuse box and ECM was gonna sit. I'm going to need to notch the fender about 3".





Cut the fender

I found a white one. I'll do some more digging.

Don't worry about it. I'm gonna run OLSD MAFless with wideband.
