The Jeep CJ7 Build Has Problem after Problem!
The CJ7 Is back in the shop! Welcome back to the 1983 CJ7 build, in the previous video we got it running and driving, now its time to get it ready to go down the road! There are a ton of small projects to finish up before we can even consider it road-worthy... In this video, we tackle a few projects and then finally get it up on the lift for the first time for a full inspection underneath. We are one step closer to getting the top and doors pulled off and cruising down the road for an Ice Cream run!

Its been about 3 years since we swapped in the 5.3 LS V8 into my Jeep Wrangler LJ. The performance has been great, however the transmission was always a little tight at slower speeds. Its time to fix that issue with a new Stall Converter from TCI Automotive! To help with drivability and performance, we are installing a 2400-2600rpm converter.

      In theory yes. But it’s usually more than fine with a trans cooler. We wheeled all weekend a few weeks back in 90* and trans stayed at 180. No issues with heat at all.

    @samuelhansen516 3 дні тому

    I have a 85 CJ-7 and AMC had a lot of QC issues back in the day so its can be a challenge to get them all sorted. The engine in mine was completely done so i swapped it instead. The fuel pumps are all known to have that problem lots of times the mechanical pumps sit on shelves for a long time and the diaphragm can become brittle. They are also put together wrong lots of the time to so taking a pump apart and checking everything can be helpful as well. If it has the plastic valve cover they are know to have major porblems with leaking from the factory as they warp to easily and then leak.

    Man those drive shaft issues are rediculous. Just waiting to come apart. When I did my fluids I didn't know what previous owner did so I changed all of it to synthetic.

    My wife has a cj8 with the 4.2. We did the valve cover 2 times. Our issue now is I couldn't get the valve cover bolts to stay tight. So we recheck them every 3 weeks. Tried lock tight, and locking washers. Now I'm fighting the oil pan gasket and rear main seal. This is my 4th try to get it to seal. Also maybe once yall get the cj dialed in maybe do a cj wheeling day at crossbar?
