Today I charged the battery,
reflushed the cooling system,
power sprayed through the radiator coils,
and let it run for 45 minutes...longest since the accident.
No problems as long as the charger stayed on.
Won't know until Monday if they'll cover the alternator.
Also, the fan's not cutting on.
Oh...and here's what the console looks like since I bedlined the light grey.
should look great once it's all back together.

It hasn't been running for me to test it.
to the best of my ability.
I drained old gas, added HEET to remove excess moisture.
Seafoam soon if I can find some odd jobs to do.
still having major shifter issues.
It seems clean, but doesn't move right....it constantly sticks.

today's progress:
Removed muffler...it was FULL of water.
Let jeep run for about 30 minutes. It overheated. I need to flush cooling system and add antifreeze.
Ordered idler pulley. $11. Will be here in the morning.
Finished bedlining the tub (see pic), replaced trim. Also did outer shell of center console, so the light grey is now black texture.
Designed homemade muffler concept...does anyone know if you can use galvanized fence posts as exhaust?

Last time, my father paid someone to do the tranny fluid.
I don't think they did it.
I've got most of the bolts out, and it's dripping brown...and smells burnt.
Also, I can't get to the last three bolts without removing the exhaust. Whats up with that?
Anyhoo, what should I look for when I get this thing off?
Is that smell normal?
Can you hydrolock a transmission?
