Just an added note, I recently did an oil change (and hit 180K miles) and used Valvoline MaxLife 10-40 with a Mobil1 Filter. About 50 miles before the change I was about 1/2 qt low so I topped it off with some general use Castrol ATF (to clean it out.) Now (after the oil change) I'm getting a lot of ...

1983 Federal Emission Control Diagram and Question
My 83's federal 3AC emissions system is different than any of the flavors found in the 85 FSM floating around. I have a couple of questions:
1. If anyone has a true emissions diagram for an 83 3AC Federal 6spd I'd love to see it.
2. What is the "jet" that the emissions diagram sticker on the ...

I never got good heat 'till I replaced my failed t-stat and FLUSHED the coolant loop. I flushed with distilled (not tap or spring) water until it came out clear after running in a hot engine for about 5 minutes. (note, I only used water. If you use a cleaning product, follow the directions on the ...

I have found that the best oils and filters are the properly changed ones. My personal preference for oil is Valvoline. This is based on the personal recommendations of an old friend of mine who was a mechanic for 30 years. He showed me how to tear down my 1st engine. When we got it open, whatever ...

I'd love to help, but you'd realize after about 5 minutes that I'm not needed. I'd love to be there for moral support, though. Have to check my schedule. January and February are pretty busy months with my boy's Cub Scout pack (dad is asst cubmaster AND asst den leader.)
I would recommend, though ...

There are kits available for purchase for Jeeps that do the same thing. Only issue is the kits cost mucho bucks. The aftermarket kits replace the radiator top hose with a heat exchanger that transfers the heat of the coolant to water that is pumped through and out of a little shower head. Figure the ...
