Thanks Dale, I wasn't sure I could figure all of that stuff out, but I wasn't going to let it get the best of me...

Yea, the guys from Grinnell came down yesterday and helped me set the front clip back on it. I didn't get too much done today and I have to go to Car Country in the morning and get some stuff.... If I can get the tune done in the next few days I will be in good shape. Then I can take it to the muffler shop and then the alignment shop.

I sure was glad to hear it fire up even if it was only for three seconds....

I went to the salvage yard yesterday and picked up a couple of things. The electric fans are off of a 2002 Toyota Camry (I can't verify this) and they fit the '67-'72 radiator to a "T". I also blasted and painted the auxiliary battery box and installed it.

Thanks Ryan. I hope they do the job. They seemed to move a lot of air when I tested them....

Leon, on that Jeep dual fan setup, any idea which fan is the primary and which is secondary?

Hi Bob,

No I don't. I thought about just running them both at the same time.....

Fans look like a nice fit. Did you go in looking for this set up, or did you just bring in a tape measure?

msgross · 08-09-2015, 10:05 AM

nice ride...

I just measured my radiator and went looking. This setup was just laying in the back of the jeep so I measured it and it was exact to my measurements. They priced it at $35 so I took it home.

I have bought quite a few dual fan setups from the auto wrecker, nice price. Here would be closer to $80 for the same.

The lady at the salvage yard told me that it was $25 for a single fan with no relays, $35 for a single fan with relays or a dual fan with no relays, and $65 for a dual fan with relays....

More stuff done on the Panel.

Got a temporary ECM/PCM tuned so I could get the truck running for more than 3 seconds, OBD2 port is in and all under dash connections are finished up. Throttle cable is done, new windshield is installed, & door panels on. I still have a short punch list but I should get it finished up this week.

I actually took it out for the first drive yesterday (only a mile) It wouldn't shift and the only gears I had were first and reverse so back to the shop for trouble shooting today. Once I re-installed the wiring from the transmission to computer that I had removed, everything works great...

... Not sure why I removed them, the instructions clearly state not to.

I take it Tuesday to get the exhaust installed, then on to the alignment shop. Won't be long now....

Exhaust is done and it sounds pretty sweet. Hopefully off to the alignment shop in the next couple of days.

Leon, what mufflers did you use?

They are Flowmaster knockoffs but they are a little longer which tones it down a little more than the Flowmaster 40's....
