yes you got it
Transmission Fluid:
Redline MT-90 75W90. GL-4. No one locally carried this or anything just GL-4 rated. Had to order. Only use GL-4 rated. Something about sulphur compounds in GL-5 not being good for brass parts on these older transmissions. I have a T177 4 speed manual transmisstion.
Interesting you have a T177 - I have one in mine as well. According to Novak's website, they were used in the J series trucks, not the CJ's..... but who knows. Since mine was assembled from innumerable vehicles, I would have no idea whether it was factory or not. I always default to "not original" regarding anything on mine...... Good info here - Thanks!!
Thanks for fuel filter location tip! Any suggestion on where to put it?
This chart says having 4 blades can be OEM. I have a standard cooling package. 258, manual, no AC, 4 blade fan, no clutch, and no shroud. Well now I have a shroud! LOL And there is no 3 rows of tubes as OEM. Am I not reading it right?

I get it, I'm a Jeep owner and ad-block detectors kinda stink but ads are needed on this site. This is a CJ site, all the ads are set for autos (some times others get through.) I cannot make them just for Jeeps but I try.
