      At the last days of April I had an opportunity to sell my ´01 Chrysler Sebring for a good price and after that I needed a new ride.
      First I was interested in a Chrysler 300M, but my offroading friend told me to by a “real” car, so I did 😉

      ´95 Laredo with a stunning nose V8 engine, A/C, cruise, electric seats etc.

      Fitted with a 46RH tranny and a 249 transfer case powering a Dana 35 LSD at a back and Dana 30 in the front.

      The first order was the fluid changes – did them all. After couple of days I noticed a differential fluid leaking from the real axles, so I had to change the axle seals.

      So far I have also changed:

      *new rims and summer tires
      *PCV hoses
      *tranny and transfer case seals

      [url=http://www.upload.ee/image/4767626/IMG_20150606_153218.jpg]
      *soldered the VIC to get rid of the false messages and connecting the radio and speakers correctly
      *new brake pads and rotors to the front
      *new handbrake shoes and springs etc – the “old” view
      [url=http://www.upload.ee/image/4712168/IMG_20150507_153532.jpg]
      *new CV boots
      *water pump
      *new A/C pump and system fill – the old had a bad piston lock up, I think from running the pump dry of oil

      A little offroad with my street tires :cheer:

      [url=http://www.upload.ee/image/4699914/IMG_20150501_180047.jpg]

      Now I just have to give her a 3´ lift, 242 transfer case and some bogger tires B)

      Also the rear diff is making some whining noise so I think that´s the one thing I have to let professionals to fix. Really like to work with this car, so simple you just need a big hammer and a brakerbar to get thing off/on 🙂

      Any advise for the car would be grate 🙂

        Changed the PS pump bracket today, all is good now, belt is quiet again.

        The newer bracket is so thin, no wonder it brakes sometimes.

          Radiator failed on Friday, got a good one and installed it today. Hope it lasts some time, the old one was still the original.

            5.9 temp sensor with housing:

            [url=https://www.upload.ee/image/6039445/20160806_202013.jpg]
            Relays by the battery:
            [url=https://www.upload.ee/image/6039449/20160806_202003.jpg]

            The Low speed is controlled automatically by the sensor, the High side is controlled by a switch in the cabin if I need it in the woods.

              Had a stuttering, no power when accelerating and rich fuel smell and finally a code for bad MAP.

              So I measured the MAP output voltage when the engine was working good and when bad.

              Got the confirm that the MAP is bad I changed it and all good now B)

                Made a “home made” cabin filter:
                [url=https://www.upload.ee/image/6192363/20160821_132647.jpg]

                Tranny cooler line fitting between the hose and a line started to leaks, got this kind of fitting to fix it.

                Also the engine got a new oil in it.

                          Picked up this V8 with all the wires and ECM for 100€.

                          Would like to add the extra alt to my engine. Just needs some instructions how to wire it.
