I almost bought one of those caulking (sealant in this country) guns for Tiger Seal, I’ve broken manual guns in the past trying to dispense that stuff.
The cat was already completely shattered internally, though, so hey.
Hey @rickhamilton620 did the AC work on this thing?
Hmm. I might delete that to free up room for activities.
No offense taken. A lot of people just legitimately do not know.Now seeing my post a day later, it is quite rude, sorry! I get annoyed when I hear so many people in my area bypassing A/C because “It’s not needed” as a cop out for fixing problems. I know A/C can be finicky but it’s not just for comfort in the summer.

That said, I do know, and I am in fact dumb enough to do it anyway. At some point later, during the offroader phase of its life, this thing'll be getting an alternator relocation to the A/C position because Jeep in their infinite wisdom mounted it at the bottom where you can short it out by driving in a sufficiently nasty rainstorm, nevermind any offroad hazards.
Yeah, on further research the A/C delete belt routing applicable to the XJ 4.0 also happens to bypass the idler that has the mechanical fan mounted to it. So Nope™.
Not an issue for this rally because winter, but long term, electric fans, maybe a better designed radiator.I never thought about that or checked when my dad had a 2001 Cherokee. I do recall that the forums like to say cooling is insufficient with these things, is there something you’re working to remedy this or is it not an issue?
