About ready to. We pulled a battery cable from the battery to the solenoid on the firewall to crimp a new lug on the battery side and now the stud on the solenoid is loose and 1 ohm to ground. Too late to get a new solenoid.
Then he springs it on me that the Jeep had some battery draining issues before he started the swap.
It would have been much easier if he would have gotten an OBDI motor. Oh well. Almost ready to fire. It does turn over nicely.
It is my friend's Jeep. It sat for a few years until last year I said lets finish the 4 liter swap.

Good evening everyone!!
How was camping? Bummer on the hitch Tom. Hopefully things work out.
Looks like the weather is going to slide just north of Kato again.
Had a great Father's day. Hung out at home this morning and got some stuff put away and organized in the garage. If I worked at it, I could actually fit a vehicle in there. Had lunch with Katie and Kids, then went to the lake to hang out with the family. Salvaged the day around 3pm. Kids got in the pool for a while, then we took the boat out around 6pm. Alexandra, Andrew and two of their cousins that are the same age went tubing for about 1/2 hour and had a blast.

Good morning Dennis, Jim and MN.
Day 8 of 12 and I am feeling like a zombie. I really could use a couple days off. I passed the classroom and some pool dives, now two open water dives and I will be licensed.
Have a good Monday everyone. Is it Friday yet?
