    1980 CJ5 master cylinder,no proportioning valve worries and is correct bore sizes for old jeep weight... Plus they're very cost effective,bolt it,rod and pedal in and let it roll...

    I never really enjoyed the zany builds that you and Dave did. I always liked the more down to earth stuff. I loved the episode where you guys bought a junkard YJ, got it running and went wheeling......that's the stuff I like.

    Also just an fyi.. late 60s mustang gas tanks fit perfectly between the wheel wells in these old military jeeps. I couldnt bring myself to cut the floor out of mine to french it lower quite yet but seeing these videos gives me ambition and ideas

    I worked on a 4.3 vortec once that was stumbling and just not running right after the spiderweb injectors had been replaced. The fuel pressure regulator was not seated fully from the company who remanufactured it.

    Awesome build!!! I love what you have done with it! The look you are going for with the big tires and not an aggressive suspension lift came out really well! It gives it a cool hunkered down ready to wheel over anything look with those big meaty tires! Best flatfender Jeep that I have seen/ know of! Cool to see the changes from the main stream that you have used with the air bag suspension, the Chev. V6 with it's cool looking intake manifold and all the rest! Keep up the great work and we look forward to the next up date on this one!

  • @architjones3280

    On the master cylinder problem: Machine shop Sleeve the Tri bolt mount master to 1” front brakes on one side and sleeve the other side to .75 for rear brakes. Wilwood has a dual master similar to what you already have, spec 1” one master front, .75” for the other side master.

  • @jbcowherder6210
    @jbcowherder6210 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    hey Fred, if it's running good at low rpm and falls on its face on the freeway, look at the fuel pressure- hook a gauge up to the fuel pressure and drive it at high rpm and load. you might have a pump that cannot provide enough fuel flow to maintain the fuel pressure required for the higher load fuel demands of driving it on the freeway. also, if it's a newer engine with an OBD2 diagnostics connector, get a cheap handheld scanner that can also show the data stream from the computer. in particular you want to look at the fuel trim(s). if the short term and long term fuel trim goes to +15% or higher under a load then you also more than likely have a fuel delivery problem, or if the fuel pressure and flow are good, if i remember right from the episode, you have an aftermarket system with a custom burned programming, it may be programmed with an incorrect fuel map for that rpm/load.

    DED episode idea? Compare 15" UTV tires to 15" truck tires for auto off-roaders. Maybe use 3 different vehicles; something as close to 2000lbs as possible, something around 3500lbs, and something 4000+lbs(I mean, we gotta have some entertainment in the episode; and, what if they DID work on a rig that heavy...) to try to find a limit.
    Could even make it REALLY interesting and run an ag tire too, even though they're kind of extreme beyond extreme...
