Ok, so heres the whole story: My jeep, (56 cj5 f134 carter), has started and run flawlessly for well over a year. Despite anything else that may...
Drive it around 30-40 miles a day, and around 20mpg if I stay below 45mph. Wouldnt drive anything else if I was given the chance, (I did after...
A couple other things outside of making sure the cooling system is bled, and the thermostat/water pump are working, (if you can see the coolant...
