The TJ stands for Tate Jeep Buildup

I bet that is it. Thanks

i retract my statement, two dents in the thing with paper plates still on it?!? this thing will be in the scrap yard in under 3 yrs.

I was looking back and just wanted to point it that I have had it for more than 3 years and it isn't in the scrap yard. It has had less than 300 miles put on it in the last 2 years but it is drivable.

[Shaggy]

please, that sh!t is off the burner, in some tupperware, and at the bottom of the freezer under some old meatloaf, a free turkey, and a dead hooker's liver. In 2 years you'll dig it up while trying to find the last blue otter pop, and will throw it away as it is unidentifiable due to freezer burn.

This however ended up being true

I finally finished the rear body Mounts I started 10 months ago. Doesn't flap around when I hit bumps. Not using the battery tender for the last 6 months hasn't been good on my old red top. Guess I need to get a new one Monday. I still need to rebuild the hydro ram mount. I think I am going to just scab a brace on it because I don't have the time to build it the right way now. Jeep still requires a small squirt of starter fluid to start. That is going to be crappy if I stall. Trip isn't going to be pretty but she should make it.

she should make it.

Well the jeep battery keeps draining so I decided to get the battery tested. I left it on the battery tender for a few days and it tested fine. I took my spare red top that is dead and it was not. It was old as balls so I just bought a new one. I ran the jeep for a few hours and checked the new one. Although it still has plenty of juice it is lower. Guess it is time to pull the alternator.

[Shaggy]

Alternator is fine. However how I thought before the computer is shot. It isn't telling the alternator to charge the battery or also explains why the cold start doesn't work. Dodge has a back order on it so I guess I have to find one aftermarket or junk yard. I have three part numbers what will work in my truck for it. Anyone know of a good place to order one of these on the fast?

[Sparling]

parts stores. We can order tons of computers at advance.

I would call Brett or Barrett at Collins Bros Jeep

Nada here. Parts store is a good bet.

[Sparling]

Advance has 2 different computers listed so you'll have to get the OEM part number off the one you have in the jeep. Either one is 279.99 plus tax. Cardone part numbers 79-4433V and 79-4477V.

[Shaggy]

I ordered one. Hopefully it will be in soon. They couldn't tell me a date because they have to call and are not open today.

[Shaggy]

Computer came in today. It took all of 5 min to install. Jeep runs fantastic now. When I pulled the old one off I could see exactly where the problem was. One of the posts was fried and stuck in the plug side. Only odd thing about this computer is that it is painted gold. Weird but it works

[KrazyKarl02]

That's a reman thing, the gold paint, I had one like that too on a Ferd.

[TdmayfieldIV]

They don't do that on tbi computers...which makes factory ones really easy to warranty
