To test the temp gauge, with ignition on just ground the wire on the sender. If the gauge is working, it should jump over to hot. The sender just varies the resistance with the change in temp. There are people in Hemmings that repair gauges, maybe one of them can help.
Thanks for your videos of the Willys! Brings back memories of Uncle Monty's early 60's Willys Wagon. Also, sorry for y'all's loss of Ally. To quote a good friend "the only reason God doesn't have dogs live longer if they did no one would be married!"
Man, the way you approach this project and progress through it, is pleasing to watch. This Jeep js in amazing condition. The owner is lucky to have her and you to get her back to being fully road worthy. I'm hook on this channel now. Been going back to your older videos to watch your work. Very impressive collection you have. Can't go wrong with ol tractors and trucks. I love em. Keep em comin, I'm rootin fer ya.
I learned how to plow snow in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York in a chained up ‘52 Willy’s pickup truck. Not quite as cherry as the one you’re bringing back, but a cool old truck, even back then in the 80’s. Fun to watch your series. Thanks!
My dad told me in hi school “ it doesn’t cost ANY More to keep your gas tank full than it does empty” so I have, that was in the 60s. Later in aviation it was just taught to do that to keep out condensation… makes perfect sense, also in the late 70s the a&p mechanics said the cleanest engines they rebuild the owners ALL ran Marvel Mystery oil in the gas, about 5 oz in 5 gallons… That should help fix your tank in the long run. We have been doing it in the cars, trucks, motorcycles & air planes for over 40 years now..!!! ✅
Ally looks like a good friend. She will likely see yiu again in heaven. Good work on the jeep

Thanks, I will try that!
My condolences for your loss of Ally. We lost one of our dogs the day after this past Christmas. Always a greater sadness than you expect.
Thank you. Sorry to hear about your pup as well.
The old Jeep is good enough to be your daily driver.

That is good advice!
@@AntiqueCarsandStuff BTW, Very sorry for the loss of your of you family member.!!
Thank you. We miss her.
Was the Jeep an old Forest Service truck? An old emblem on the dash makes me think that.
Its history is unknown but that’s a good guess.
Nice truck. I have my grandfather's 1951 willys truck. His was the color of the green inside yours. Do you know what the name of the green paint was
I'm not 199% sure, but this is my guess; In 1951 it was called Jamiaca Green Dark. In 1952 it was Hampshire Green.
Sorry to hear about Ally, I'm sure she will be missed. Maybe after a while, America can get anothr playmate.
Thank you. America misses her sister.
There are people that repair guages
