where did you find that? I've been looking all year for it!!!.



That they are I painted it with my can of checkered spray paint, but my buddy borrowed it and my left handed screwdriver and used a bucket of steam to wash it. He needed it to change his muffler bearings  it took two sky hooks to lift his fwd mustang.

My CB has been a bit off lately, I was told that I can fix it by making sure there is enough squelch grease in it. Can anyone tell me where the fitting is and where to get some more grease? Another problem might be that my Jeep is too heavy and its affecting the ground pressure, would removing things from the Jeep fix this?

No...your problem is that you Jeep is too light. You need to add weight.

As far as squelch grease goes, anyone that is serious about the performance benfits of squelch grease needs a dedicated penumatic grease gun. It MUST be pneumatic, and you must use it ONLY for squelch grease.

You have too much old air in your tires.

BE CAREFUL!!!!

You don't want to mix pre-2003 blinker fluid with post-2003 blinker fluid. If you're going to switch over to the new stuff, make sure that you do a complete system flush with lots of HOT 15W40 before you add the new blinker fluid.

Oh...and add in a friction modifier if you want to smooth out your blink intervals. Just make sure that it's either Teflon based or Bacon based. The lard-based ones smell funny.

You Red Deer guys and your "Olymel this" and "Olymel that".

I tell you, since my friend Ivor told me about the Valbella BSS fluid that he was using in his '84 VW Vanagon, I haven't looked back. If it'll work properly with those German-made Metric blinkers, that's got to tell you something. Every since I started using the Valbella BSS stuff, I've noticed smoother blinker actuation, crisper switch-0ff, and blinker intervals that you could set your watch too. I've even gone to an eighteen month fluid-change interval. Try that with your cut-rate olymel stuff.

THANKS  TJ!!! I also took out ten pounds of air from each tire to help get better gas mileage.
