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

*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

*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

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.

Relays by the battery:

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:

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