Confused  I can't remember things that happened 10 minutes ago, but one little word can remind me of something said 40+ years ago.

Hot Rod Magazine said: "Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary defines Gremlin as 'An evil-tempered little fellow'. The Gremlin X definitely fits that description"    LOL     BW
It is NOT a Jeep Willys! It is a Willys jeep.

Happy Trails! Good-bye, Good Luck, and May the Good Lord Take a Likin' to You!

Too bad you didn't find the chuck key to my drill press.

I also apparently have 'a drawer' at my house, but I won't go there.

On a separate but related note, the check engine light on my 05 Liberty CRD has been on since I bought it. The proprietary code actually identified a bad #2 glow plug, bad harness, or bad Glow plug relay.

I bought the parts but have been procrastinating installing them because I heard the glow plugs were tough to get to. So of course I waited till it was getting hard to start in the cold weather to do the work. I scheduled time in a heated workshop, and set off to find the parts.


After 3 hours of searching, I found the new glow plugs, intake elbow gaskets, harness, and relay, in a box of FURNACE parts on top of the non running 3B in my garage. (the parts to my new, now 6 year old garage furnace that I never got around to installing...)


I was not happy, but how could I be mad? I should be proud that my wife thought glow plugs looked like furnace ignitors???


Anyway, I now have a new found faith in diagnostic codes. # 2 glow plug (ceramic) was split and cracked. I replaced them with metal 5V Bosch plugs rather than the OE 7V Eterno ceramic, so we shall see long term.

   thanks for the chuckles guys !   and Happy New Years.

   In the last 20-years of my working career, I moved 6-times. I have to this day wonder where my tap and die set is packed.

   Oh years ago, I asked the wife if she had seen my ear-plugs.   Nope !
So i pull out the garbage beneath the kitchen sink and dump it out on a large piece of cardboard. Sure enough, after pawing through for a minute, there they were ! Boom.

   I take them in to the wife and show them to her and her remark was:
   "Oh, honey, i thought those were left-over Jelley-Bellys so i threw them out."

   The last couple of years i've had to make numerous trips back to the house to remember what i went out to the shop to find. I know it Gets Better !

   Hahahaha, between all the wife's drawers and the easter eggs, we're doomed.

   Our only Salvation is a WILLYS :)
