    Thermostat Housing fittings thread size??

    Thanks ...but I was just hoping that someone would admire how all the coolant and heater hoses are black while all the intake and intercooler hoses are blue. :p

    Thermostat Housing fittings thread size??

    Speaking of molded coolant hoses, I was able to source 3 different Gates molded heater hoses that with a little trimming easily served to replace 3 of the OEM molded hoses that are no longer available to me here in the US but that still would have been impossible to replace with the straight...

    ^^^ Closer and closer!!! Unfortunately I had a painful medical set back that Im currently recovering from... but by next week for sure. :D Only need to reinstall the battery, change the fuel filter and bolt it back on firewall, refill and burp coolant system with fresh HOAT and, finally...

    Well the BSPP/NPT adapter fitting that Jeff Bezos delivered was a bust simply because it had regular NPT threads on BOTH ends despite being labeled as BSPP/NPT:mad: That said, I was STILL able to make this project work because the 5/8"silicone heater hose that I also ordered has a tighter...

    Deeke's upper control arms?

    Obviously, looks can easily be deceiving as they are only skin deep, but mechanical functionality is MUCH more then skin deep. In the case of suspension parts, overall quality and longevity are strictly a matter of metallurgy, weld quality, hardware quality and, just as importantly, the...

    So with the air box and the turbo intake hose still out of the way, it was the perfect time to flush the likely original power steering fluid completely out of the reservoir, PS pump, steering box and the lines. Of course I started by removing all the dirty fluid from the rezzy with a turkey...

    That actually makes more sense then a Denso failing at 143k;)

    Is that he original alternator? How many miles/km are on it? Are you going to get it rebuilt, use an oem replacement or install a reman alternator?

    Well at least my guess was close. ;)

    Thermostat Housing fittings thread size??

    The cool part of this project is that after I insert the adapter and also install a 1/2" NPT x 5/8" barb 45 degree fitting, then I will actually be able to replace most all of the original and strangely shaped 5/8" hoses (many of which are no longer available at least in the US) that make up...

    Thermostat Housing fittings thread size??

    So I have been able to order an adapter fitting that goes from BSPP to NPT...I am fairly sure that the thermostat housing is BSPP and not BSPT as there is ZERO taper to the existing fitting. I am thinking that "BSPP" means something akin to British Standard Pressure Pipe and while it has the...

    I am guessing that stands for "British Standard Pipe Thread" ??

    While putting Giddyup back together, but before I refill her with HOAT coolant, I have decided that I want to replace as many of the original molded 5/8" heater hoses that I can with high quality but bulk (straight) 5/8" heater hose. Having already done the viscous heater delete is what makes...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Finally today I also had to MacGyver my air box AGAIN... I hadn't yet seen a broken section of plastic RIGHT where the turbo intake hose attaches and clamps to the box. Even though the new silicone hose would have slid past the broken section, this is clearly a weak spot that was just going to...

    BEFORE reinstalling the fan shroud, I performed an operation on it which I am calling the "Butt Cheek" fan shroud modification. :rolleyes: Instead of separating the top and bottom halves like many people have done, I accurately marked it and then used a long carpenters hand saw to slice the...

    Getting closer and closer to Giddyup being back together -- Radiator and intercooler went back in and also plumbed up with new hoses. Put a little smear of silicone grease on the hose bibs to keep them from totally sticking next time I need to pull them.

Stuck I tried to follow some experienced Jeepers through the mud and ended up slipping off the road. So much for "street tires".
