Union KY reststop (MM177) on the "car" side, about 8.

Again, for those heading down separately:

Don't go through Carrolton. KY36 is apparently closed just west of town due to construction on the bridge over Locust Creek.

Take I-71 down to 421. Back up to 42 and 3176.

The MJ died while pulling in the drive way tonight.nice of it to get me home before .. Anyway I'm a maybe at this point, what I was able to figure out so far is .there is spark,and fuel pressure.i can spray starting fluid in the intake And it will run..so I think the injector circuit if out?.. Never had that issue before...Gonna look for bad wires tomorrow ect. Try to figure out wtf is wrong. If I get that fixed I'm back in... Always some dang thing anymore..:mad:

WrenchMonkey 05-25-2013 09:22 PM

Sweet! Hope he's fixed!

comanchedude 05-25-2013 09:53 PM

Well I'm out this trip..sucks. I have a intermittent short in the fuel pump circuit and I am thinking its the pump at his point. So I will have to check all the wires again tomorrow if all checks good I'm ordering a fuel pump. Y'all have fun and get pics. I will be ready for the next trip.

WrenchMonkey 05-25-2013 09:58 PM

You've probably checked it, but mine did the EXACT same thing a couple months ago, and it was a bad connection at the ballast resistor, on the drivers fenderwell. I ran a jumper wire, bypassing the resistor and running a full 12v to the pump.

No problems since!

Good luck!

gothodgie 05-26-2013 12:39 AM

I got some new shoes... :dancing:

see ya in the morning...

:beers:

itbrokeagain 05-27-2013 09:11 AM

Hope you had a good trip. Wish I could have gone. I did wheel a little yesterday. My uncle.buried his truck in the woods behind his house so I guess that counts

WrenchMonkey 05-27-2013 09:20 AM

Absolutely, had a blast!

I managed to pull the trifecta: Broke the jeep, tow rig, and even the trailer!

But great day, great weather, great wheelin!

Ha!

Well, I had about a dozen witnesses for the trailer and the XJ. And Hodgie saw the whole mess abandoned on the side of 275, so he makes it official, right? :D

fordman00 05-27-2013 09:30 AM

Well sounds like story time. I'm bored at work soaking up holiday pay....lol
