shellback91 1,851 Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) I changed Betty Lou's oil yesterday. This was the first time I've done it myself and of course I made a mess, but that is the fun part. I found out the oil drain plug is not stock, I needed a 16MM wrench not 13MM and it does not have the "crush gasket" either. It works so I will leave it be unless my psychosis/neurosis takes over. 🤣 Edited May 24, 2021 by shellback91 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curbjumper 30 Posted May 25, 2021 A brake switch on the Schmoyota FJ. $30 OEM. It was ok...follow the brake up and turn the part counter-clockwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curbjumper 30 Posted May 25, 2021 Hi Diane & George: Parts: That was me just me at a Home Depot rebuilding window screens. Glad to see Clifford. I was in our 2008 Schmoyota LS 460 right in front of Cliffford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really wondered who the jokester was!!! LOL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MzPriss 228 Posted May 26, 2021 My new ride is living up to her Jeep reputation. Don't even have the real plate on her yet and she got a new serpentine belt today. Good news is, I think I can do it by myself the next time, and have a spare just in case. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lichen 110 Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) I began ripping out the National Luna Duel Battery system today. Gremlins had invaded it leading to battery discharge. I just throw the charger on the 11 year old yellow top when it gets low. Edited June 14, 2021 by Lichen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found a youtube video explaining that the dash readout should be unplugged or turned off whenever the car sits for a couple of days or it will put a drain on the battery. Duh. I did, but I screwed up something and the whole system shut down. I decided not to remove the system, just unhook it for now. Both batteries now holding their charge. It's too hot to screw around with it now. how do you know the National Luna system was acting up and not just a tired old battery? i mean 11 years old?! in Phoenix!?!? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lichen 110 Posted July 7, 2021 I finally installed the duel voltage gauge that has been sitting around for a good year. It's the one that K-Smith installed. It probably took him 10 minutes, but I stretched it out to a week. It works! (sometimes I amaze myself). I'll let it sit a day and see how much the voltage drops. If it does, I can just pull it out and unhook the ground wire. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
