Got ya beat on that FUBAR Rudy Spent 3 days working on an 81 Camaro trying to find a dead short that would drain a good battery overnight. 4 hours into the 3rd day I got fed up, disconnected the battery, started walking away, then had a flash of inspiration. Grabbed the wiring diagrams and tore into it again. Eight hours later I had it figured out but couldn't get any readings on my multimeter That's when I remembered that I had disconnected the battery. That was 18 years ago and my brother is still laughing about it. Disconnected the electric choke, put a manual cable in, no more dead batteries.

To find a dead hole: Start motor cold and use a heat gun to check each header tube at the head (one will be cooler / warms slower).

The Book of Truth things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

I was an electrician for almost 40 years, and wiring big commercial buildings are easier than vehicle wiring. I chased a short somewhere under the hood of my 1991 250 for months, the battery would drain in about three or four days if I didn't run it. I had the whole harness cut open and carefully looked at every single wire from point A to point B. I spent months looking for it, then it just went away. I must have moved something that fixed it. After it stopped draining I put a new battery in it, and sold it before it came back.

I’ve come to enjoy these build videos as much as the “we’ll getem out” videos

The smile on Matt’s face said I’m proud of my team! Awesome!!!

Matt is so calm, cool and collected all the time ... Never seen him curse or get mad about anything!!! I wanna be like MATT!!!! 😁

I love your leadership skills Matt, I have as much fun watching the shop working together as the off road recovery. Where I work at the owner never gets involved and only focuses on people’s failures, it’s sad that people who aren’t perfect expect everyone else to be perfect.

Trevor, is the OBD II harness still attached or did it fall victim to weight reduction? A dead cylinder is easy enough to find with a laser thermometer shot at the spark plug. Now what's causing the dead cylinder is another story. Once you find the dead cylinder, swap a injector and see if the dead cylinder follows the injector relocation. Also a quick ohm test on the plug wires is in order. Also, unplug the MAF sensor and run the Jeep. A bad MAF will cause a dead cylinder. Plug the valve cover line as it can cause a lean condition.
