Actually, I believe that the fluid is supposed to be rated GL-3.
Regardless, there is a mistake on DC's part as to what fluid should
be in the tranny.
I first read about this problem a while back on JU. I was running the
Mobil-1 in my tranny for about six months. After I read about the
damage the sulfur content in the Mobil-1 causes on the brass
synchros, I immediately changed. I wanted to stick with a synthetic,
and had to settle with Red Line MT-90 which is a GL-4 rated fluid.
Even though it's still not the GL-3 rated fluid as actually
recommended by DC, Red Line claims that there is no sulfur added to
the fluid and that it won't harm the synchros.
Joe, have you drained the fluid out of your tranny yet? When you do,
be sure to keep it. Drain it and then put it into a clear container.
I found something most interesting when I drained mine. I had it in a
milk jug and after it sat in my garage for a few hours, there was
quite a bit of brassy looking particulate that accumulated at the
bottom of the jug. This is definitely something that can help you in
your case against DC should you pursue that route.
Also, Joe, if you're looking for a deal on a new NV4500 check out JB
Conversion's site. It seems like a heck of a deal on the whole
package:

I believe liquids do boil at lower temperatures at higher altitudes. I seem to remember this being a problem when Chuck Yeager and others were trying to break the sound barrier. One pilot thought he was smelling coffee, but it was the sound of boiling fuel that made his mind think of coffee. This is also a problem when making something like spaghetti at altitude when camping because the water comes to a boil at a lower temp and the noodles don't get cooked well. I also know that to "boil" out all the water in an A/C system when doing repair that a vacuumed pump is used. It think Joe West at the AZ VJC may be able to explain this better and likely longer LOL.

Any of you here in AZ have the problems of vapor lock and overheating the

summer running around. Could it be related to altitude? Although I've also
never had those problems up north either.

I'm using a K&N cone filter to filter the incoming air on my ventilation
system. I've never had the inside of the TJ stay so dust free. I can
pull outside air into the Jeep even in the dustiest of conditions such
as following a group of Jeeps and there is no apparent dust coming into

I also run a flat panel K&N on the intake for the engine. It works well.
Don't expect any noticable power increases though.

I have noticed that for the K&N to allow for the increased air flow it

to help the filter but then you are back to the same as a regular Fram

I run the K&N filter in my jeep and my toyota work truck. The
performance gains are, IMO, minimal (every little bit helps, though).
The best thing about the K&N is how long they last. The same filter now
in my 98 Toyota was also in my 94 Toy and in my 89 Toyota 4x4. This
filter now has about 240,000 miles on it. It cleans up good as new
every time I clean it. Just re-oil it and go.
With most air filters running 10-20 bucks, it will pay for itself in no
time, especially if you spend a lot of time offroad.

Hi all: I don't post as much anymore, but I wanted to let anyone who
was interested know that I finally completed my latest large round of
mods to my rockcrawler YJ. Quickly:
-- Dana 60 rear, spool, 5.13 gears, double-sheared traction bar
-- Dana 60 front, Detroit, 5.13 gears, custom arms with tie rod behind
axle. 1-ton TREs. Ground brakes to fit 15-inch wheels. Axle shortened
to 66 inches.
-- 38.5 x14.50 SX
-- Beard seats built into cage
-- Waggoneer springs for extended wheelbase
Most of the credit goes to my friend Blake Van de Loo, who
masterminded the entire thing and did nearly all the fabrication. Have
had it out on two test runs and it works like a champ. The steering is
particularly trick and I've got half a steering arm with nothing on
it, waiting to plumb a ram assist. The best part? With 5 pounds of
air, I can just fit in the garage. The outside track width is just 80
inches, so it fits on the trails and on my trailer, which is nice.
Also, I recently moved to Gilbert (Val Vista and Elliot), so if you
see an OD green YJ creeping around, stop and say hi.

Subject: Re: Fw: [AZ_FSJA] vapor lock
One thing I noticed on the fuel filter to the J20 (360 2V) is, the
fuel filter has a return line on it. The fuel filter is loctaced near
the carberator. The return line coming off the fuel filter goes all
the way back to the tank. Thus, when the fuel pressure is not being
used by the carberator the fuel returns to the tank, creating a loop
and not allowing the fuel to get hot or boil.
I would imagine this is a stock setup. If a person was to get a fuel
filter for a '79 J20 360 2V it would probably have this fitting on
it. Then if you have a return line on your fuel pump, you might be
able to block that off and extend the return line from the fuel pump
up to the fuel filter.
If on the otherhand, you already have one of these fuel filters there
should be some sort of plate you could put between the intake
manifold and the carb to help disapate the heat a bit more.
I hope this helps.

Subject: [TR] Trip Report - Lake Pleasant to Crown King - Saturday, August 17, 2002
Hello All,
Leonard Pennock lead a trail run Saturday, August 17, 2002 across Lake Pleasant to Crown King
I took over the lead of this trip from Len Sullivan. It was to Len's credit that even though he was having over heating problems that he limped to the meeting place to let people know the he could not lead.
We had a nice assortment of Jeeps for this run. There was a mostly stock ZJ limited and a TJ. There was a slightly lifted and rear locked ZJ, and a nicely lifted Open XJ. There was a Lifted TJ with F&R; TrueTracs and myself with a F&R; locked Lifted XJ. We also can't forget that we also had a bone stock Liberty.
We got started a little late but headed off for the first obstacle. Everyone was given the oppurtunity to play on every obstacle. I believe that 3 people besides my self tried the first obstacle. Alvin with a 249 Transfer case found out that even with a rear locker the 249 won't go if one front wheel has no traction. Kept mumbling something about needing a 242 transfer case.
We continued on towards Ft. Misery taking time to allow anyone that wanted to play on each obstacle. At Ft. Misery we had lunch and again did some playing. Some of the people made comments that all I needed was a JATO bottle on my XJ and they could use it for a bottle rocket. Something about standing it almost on the back bumper. Unless someone produces photos I deny it completely.
Just before we got to the step we had our first real break down. Sharyl and Janet decided it was time for a road hazard warrenty on one of their BFG-AT with a hole in the inside side wall. After changing the tire we headed for the step but not before Scott's noon group caught up with us. Never saw so many Bananas on the trail at one time before.
The Liberty was the second Jeep to try the step and made it on the second pass with no assitance at all. Guess CK run is now offically a 2.5. (Told them I was going to say this.)
We had one Jeep require strapping on the step.
About half way up the hill we stopped and let Scotts group pass us since we were needing to go kind of slow with the stock height Jeeps on the rocks and also had the strapping happening on the step.
We pulled in Crown King around 4pm and had some good times seeing people we hadn't seen in a while, along with meeting new people. Not to mention that the beer was pretty good after a long day on the trail.

The reason fith went first is because it is the last gear in the cluster
and the other gears don't really have any where to go if thier retaining
clips fail. The c clips are know for breaking and If I remember right the
clips are like 7 to 10 bucks and have to be the exact thickness or you'll
only grab that gear every once in a while..
Joe, Maybe your shift rail is bent and you aren't getting a complete mesh
when trying to get it into gear..
If you need a hand pulling and taking it apart let me know, I have been
working on my muscles lately helping Scott and Scott on thier trannys and

Subject: electrical HELP, dim lights and others
Cherokee is running after piston rings and valve job, but I have some electrical issues. Starts, runs, but head and tail lights are dim, A/C blows cold but weak, won't restart after a drive. Even if just the lights are on they are dim and if just the A/C is running blows weak. Lights get dimmer when A/C turned on. Battery (optima red top couple of years old) was discharged, jumped, and recharged more times than I want to remember during trouble shooting of why wouldn't start (ending up being timing issue). If it is running and you disconnect the battery it continues to run and the lights get bright, haven't checked to see if the A/C blow strong with battery disconnected (battery currently on charger). Have I abused my battery such that I need a new one or do I have the pleasure (LOL) of looking for an electrical problem else where?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Most of the FSJ had the return setup (don't really know the years) but,
yes, as long as they use it, they shouldn't have a problem. A lot of
them don't use the return line for some reason unknown to me. Even so,
I have a lot of pressure build up in the fuel tank that the pressure
relieve cap couldn't cope with. If I removed the fuel cap the gas would
explode (perhaps a poor choice of words) out of the filler neck. I
could hear it bubbling.
The filter is available from Auto Zone and I carry a few spares from
when I had a carb installed. (I carry the carb and elec. fuel pump as
trail spares.) Locate the return outlet up for best return of vapor to
the tank.

1. Yes
2. Gear Oil
3. A spindle nut wrench. You can do it with a screw driver and hammer but it
will be much easer with a spindle nut wrench.
4. No
5. There is no thrush washer
Tips.
1. Replace your hub bolts with studs and nuts and Lock tight them as the CJ
D30 is famous for these bolts coming loose.
2. If you do any hard core wheelin carry spare axels as you will brake axels
with the lock right in the front.
3. You will have a very hard time turning with the front locked. When
turning on hard rocks take you time and do not make sharp turns. Do the
forward and reverse wiggle to get around tight spots. If you try to take a
tight turn on hard rock you can easily brake an axel.
I ran a lock right in my 82 CJ with the D30 for about 2 years and I broke 3
axels. I broke them on trails rated from 4.0 to 4.5+. I got tired of braking
them and went to a D44 with alloy axels and have not broken one since.

2. Beside the Differential Gasket, what other

I have the 360 from a FSJ in my CJ, and for years I had a terrible
problem with vapor lock any time the temperature outside was over about
85 degrees. The filter with the return line helped the problem, but
didn't eliminate it. I installed an electric fuel pump, insulated the
fuel lines, installed a heat shield between the carb and the manifold,
but all to no avail. Finally, re-routing the fuel lines on the outside
of the frame away from the exhaust fixed the problem...

Actually, I believe that the fluid is supposed to be rated GL-3.
Regardless, there is a mistake on DC's part as to what fluid should
be in the tranny.
I first read about this problem a while back on JU. I was running the
Mobil-1 in my tranny for about six months. After I read about the
damage the sulfur content in the Mobil-1 causes on the brass
synchros, I immediately changed. I wanted to stick with a synthetic,
and had to settle with Red Line MT-90 which is a GL-4 rated fluid.
Even though it's still not the GL-3 rated fluid as actually
recommended by DC, Red Line claims that there is no sulfur added to
the fluid and that it won't harm the synchros.
Joe, have you drained the fluid out of your tranny yet? When you do,
be sure to keep it. Drain it and then put it into a clear container.
I found something most interesting when I drained mine. I had it in a
milk jug and after it sat in my garage for a few hours, there was
quite a bit of brassy looking particulate that accumulated at the
bottom of the jug. This is definitely something that can help you in
your case against DC should you pursue that route.
Also, Joe, if you're looking for a deal on a new NV4500 check out JB
Conversion's site. It seems like a heck of a deal on the whole
package:

I believe liquids do boil at lower temperatures at higher altitudes. I seem to remember this being a problem when Chuck Yeager and others were trying to break the sound barrier. One pilot thought he was smelling coffee, but it was the sound of boiling fuel that made his mind think of coffee. This is also a problem when making something like spaghetti at altitude when camping because the water comes to a boil at a lower temp and the noodles don't get cooked well. I also know that to "boil" out all the water in an A/C system when doing repair that a vacuumed pump is used. It think Joe West at the AZ VJC may be able to explain this better and likely longer LOL.

Any of you here in AZ have the problems of vapor lock and overheating the
guys in CO do? I have never had those problems, even in the middle of
summer running around. Could it be related to altitude? Although I've also
never had those problems up north either.

I'm using a K&N cone filter to filter the incoming air on my ventilation
system. I've never had the inside of the TJ stay so dust free. I can
pull outside air into the Jeep even in the dustiest of conditions such
as following a group of Jeeps and there is no apparent dust coming into
the cabin.
I also run a flat panel K&N on the intake for the engine. It works well.
Don't expect any noticable power increases though.

I have noticed that for the K&N to allow for the increased air flow it
has larger pores. Larger pores equal larger particulates entering the
engine. I have heard people talking about using vacuum bags or the like
to help the filter but then you are back to the same as a regular Fram

I run the K&N filter in my jeep and my toyota work truck. The
performance gains are, IMO, minimal (every little bit helps, though).
The best thing about the K&N is how long they last. The same filter now
in my 98 Toyota was also in my 94 Toy and in my 89 Toyota 4x4. This
filter now has about 240,000 miles on it. It cleans up good as new
every time I clean it. Just re-oil it and go.
With most air filters running 10-20 bucks, it will pay for itself in no
time, especially if you spend a lot of time offroad.

Subject: [az_vjc] Latest mods completed/tested
Hi all: I don't post as much anymore, but I wanted to let anyone who
was interested know that I finally completed my latest large round of
mods to my rockcrawler YJ. Quickly:
-- Dana 60 rear, spool, 5.13 gears, double-sheared traction bar
-- Dana 60 front, Detroit, 5.13 gears, custom arms with tie rod behind
axle. 1-ton TREs. Ground brakes to fit 15-inch wheels. Axle shortened
to 66 inches.
-- 38.5 x14.50 SX
-- Beard seats built into cage
-- Waggoneer springs for extended wheelbase
Most of the credit goes to my friend Blake Van de Loo, who
masterminded the entire thing and did nearly all the fabrication. Have
had it out on two test runs and it works like a champ. The steering is
particularly trick and I've got half a steering arm with nothing on
it, waiting to plumb a ram assist. The best part? With 5 pounds of
air, I can just fit in the garage. The outside track width is just 80
inches, so it fits on the trails and on my trailer, which is nice.
Also, I recently moved to Gilbert (Val Vista and Elliot), so if you
see an OD green YJ creeping around, stop and say hi.

Subject: Re: Fw: [AZ_FSJA] vapor lock
One thing I noticed on the fuel filter to the J20 (360 2V) is, the
fuel filter has a return line on it. The fuel filter is loctaced near
the carberator. The return line coming off the fuel filter goes all
the way back to the tank. Thus, when the fuel pressure is not being
used by the carberator the fuel returns to the tank, creating a loop
and not allowing the fuel to get hot or boil.
I would imagine this is a stock setup. If a person was to get a fuel
filter for a '79 J20 360 2V it would probably have this fitting on
it. Then if you have a return line on your fuel pump, you might be
able to block that off and extend the return line from the fuel pump
up to the fuel filter.
If on the otherhand, you already have one of these fuel filters there
should be some sort of plate you could put between the intake
manifold and the carb to help disapate the heat a bit more.
I hope this helps.

Subject: [TR] Trip Report - Lake Pleasant to Crown King - Saturday, August 17, 2002
Hello All,
Leonard Pennock lead a trail run Saturday, August 17, 2002 across Lake Pleasant to Crown King
I took over the lead of this trip from Len Sullivan. It was to Len's credit that even though he was having over heating problems that he limped to the meeting place to let people know the he could not lead.
We had a nice assortment of Jeeps for this run. There was a mostly stock ZJ limited and a TJ. There was a slightly lifted and rear locked ZJ, and a nicely lifted Open XJ. There was a Lifted TJ with F&R; TrueTracs and myself with a F&R; locked Lifted XJ. We also can't forget that we also had a bone stock Liberty.
We got started a little late but headed off for the first obstacle. Everyone was given the oppurtunity to play on every obstacle. I believe that 3 people besides my self tried the first obstacle. Alvin with a 249 Transfer case found out that even with a rear locker the 249 won't go if one front wheel has no traction. Kept mumbling something about needing a 242 transfer case.
We continued on towards Ft. Misery taking time to allow anyone that wanted to play on each obstacle. At Ft. Misery we had lunch and again did some playing. Some of the people made comments that all I needed was a JATO bottle on my XJ and they could use it for a bottle rocket. Something about standing it almost on the back bumper. Unless someone produces photos I deny it completely.
Just before we got to the step we had our first real break down. Sharyl and Janet decided it was time for a road hazard warrenty on one of their BFG-AT with a hole in the inside side wall. After changing the tire we headed for the step but not before Scott's noon group caught up with us. Never saw so many Bananas on the trail at one time before.
The Liberty was the second Jeep to try the step and made it on the second pass with no assitance at all. Guess CK run is now offically a 2.5. (Told them I was going to say this.)
We had one Jeep require strapping on the step.
About half way up the hill we stopped and let Scotts group pass us since we were needing to go kind of slow with the stock height Jeeps on the rocks and also had the strapping happening on the step.
We pulled in Crown King around 4pm and had some good times seeing people we hadn't seen in a while, along with meeting new people. Not to mention that the beer was pretty good after a long day on the trail.

The reason fith went first is because it is the last gear in the cluster
and the other gears don't really have any where to go if thier retaining

clips are like 7 to 10 bucks and have to be the exact thickness or you'll
only grab that gear every once in a while..
Joe, Maybe your shift rail is bent and you aren't getting a complete mesh

Subject: electrical HELP, dim lights and others
Cherokee is running after piston rings and valve job, but I have some electrical issues. Starts, runs, but head and tail lights are dim, A/C blows cold but weak, won't restart after a drive. Even if just the lights are on they are dim and if just the A/C is running blows weak. Lights get dimmer when A/C turned on. Battery (optima red top couple of years old) was discharged, jumped, and recharged more times than I want to remember during trouble shooting of why wouldn't start (ending up being timing issue). If it is running and you disconnect the battery it continues to run and the lights get bright, haven't checked to see if the A/C blow strong with battery disconnected (battery currently on charger). Have I abused my battery such that I need a new one or do I have the pleasure (LOL) of looking for an electrical problem else where?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Possibly some dead cells in the batt.

Subject: Re: Re: Fw: [AZ_FSJA] vapor lock
James:
Most of the FSJ had the return setup (don't really know the years) but,
yes, as long as they use it, they shouldn't have a problem. A lot of
them don't use the return line for some reason unknown to me. Even so,
I have a lot of pressure build up in the fuel tank that the pressure
relieve cap couldn't cope with. If I removed the fuel cap the gas would
explode (perhaps a poor choice of words) out of the filler neck. I
could hear it bubbling.
The filter is available from Auto Zone and I carry a few spares from
when I had a carb installed. (I carry the carb and elec. fuel pump as
trail spares.) Locate the return outlet up for best return of vapor to
the tank.

1. Yes
2. Gear Oil
3. A spindle nut wrench. You can do it with a screw driver and hammer but it
will be much easer with a spindle nut wrench.
4. No
5. There is no thrush washer
Tips.
1. Replace your hub bolts with studs and nuts and Lock tight them as the CJ
D30 is famous for these bolts coming loose.
2. If you do any hard core wheelin carry spare axels as you will brake axels
with the lock right in the front.
3. You will have a very hard time turning with the front locked. When
turning on hard rocks take you time and do not make sharp turns. Do the
forward and reverse wiggle to get around tight spots. If you try to take a
tight turn on hard rock you can easily brake an axel.
I ran a lock right in my 82 CJ with the D30 for about 2 years and I broke 3
axels. I broke them on trails rated from 4.0 to 4.5+. I got tired of braking
them and went to a D44 with alloy axels and have not broken one since.

Any help would be appreciated:
I am getting ready to install a Lock Right Locker in the
front of my 74 CJ-5, with a Dana 30, and I have a couple of
questions:
1. Do I need to get the Performance Cross Shaft? (I have
a 360 V-8 with 33 X 12.50's and 3.73 Gears)
2. Beside the Differential Gasket, what other
parts/gaskets will I need?
3. To get the axles out, will I need any special tools?
(I have normal hand tools, impact wrenches, and air tools).
4. Do the axles have "C" Clips?
5. Should I replace the thrust washers?
6. I am planning on doing this on Saturday (August 24) in
the morning, and I am on the West Side near 59th Ave. and
Peoria, if anyone wants to stop by and supervise. Never
done any axle work before.
TIA

Subject: [az_vjc] Looking for pictures for my website
Hey Gang,
I have a big favor to ask. There are few of you out there that I have worked your jeeps and I know some of you have pictures of my work. And some of you are great shudder bugs and have pictures of other jeeps I have worked on. Doesnt matter if it was a rollcage or bracket. The only thing is I need it JPEG format and in preferable 480-600 pix size that would be great. The pictures will be posted for the all world to see on my web page in my "Products section." All pic should be posted my the end of the week. If I can get a couple , it would mean alot to me.
Thank you everyone. I truly appreciate it. Have a good day.
Best Regards
John "Hunter" Kanicsar
P.S. For those of you that dont know, I was marreid over the weekend up in Crown King and I also fathered 5 children too. If you dont belive me, just ask Mike Chatfeild. I imagine he would love to tell the story, he was there along with other witnesses that I shall leave nameless.

Subject: Re: Re: Fw: [AZ_FSJA] vapor lock
I have the 360 from a FSJ in my CJ, and for years I had a terrible
problem with vapor lock any time the temperature outside was over about
85 degrees. The filter with the return line helped the problem, but
didn't eliminate it. I installed an electric fuel pump, insulated the
fuel lines, installed a heat shield between the carb and the manifold,
but all to no avail. Finally, re-routing the fuel lines on the outside
of the frame away from the exhaust fixed the problem...
